CORTLAND, N.Y. – The nationally fourth-ranked Cortland men's lacrosse team closed the game with a 9-2 second-half run and defeated seventh-ranked Middlebury, 16-8, Sunday afternoon in the semifinals of the NCAA Division III men's lacrosse tournament. With the win, the Red Dragons improved to 18-2, matching a school record for victories in a season, and will face the Gettysburg Bullets in the national championship game, Sunday, May 24, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Gettysburg defeated Stevenson, 12-7, in the other semifinal game on Sunday. This is the fourth straight trip to the finals for Cortland and the third overall for Gettysburg, which last played for the national title in 2002.
Junior Brian Krol (Niskayuna) led Cortland with three goals and an assist, and senior Joey Morgan (Putnam Valley) and freshman Mike Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) each found the back of the net three times. Sophomore Chris DeLuca (Sayville) had two goals and two assists, junior Brandon Misiaszek (New Hartford) recorded two goals and an assist and sophomore Jay DiStefano (Huntington/Harborfields) contributed a goal and two assists. Freshmen Zack Mulvaney (Deferiet/Carthage) and Greg Wright (Irondequoit) collected one goal apiece.
Senior goalie Matt Hipenbecker( Mountain Lakes, NJ) made eight saves in 52 minutes, 26 seconds before giving way to senior Mike Robinson (Alexandria, VA/Thomas Edison), who stopped one shot over the final 7:34. Junior Tom Burke (Massapequa) recorded six ground balls.
Senior Skyler Hopkins (Easton, MD/McDonogh School) scored three times to pace the Panther offense. Seniors Matt Ferrer (Darien, CT/Brunswick) and Tom Petty (Newburyport, MA/Phillips Exeter (NH)) each notched a pair of goals. Senior Mike Stone (Boston, MA/Wellesley) scored once, and junior Pete Smith (Wilton, CT) contributed a game-high four assists. Senior goalie Pete Britt (Summit, NJ) made 10 saves in the game.
Cortland grabbed a 5-2 lead after 15 minutes of play. Misiaszek gave the Red Dragons a 1-0 lead at 12:49, followed by Deluca's unassisted goal at 10:46. Hopkins cut the lead in half 42 seconds later with an unassisted goal. Krol netted a man-up goal but Petty pulled the Panthers to within 3-2 off Smith's first assist of the game at 3:25. DeLuca answered with his second of the quarter at 2:22 and Tota ripped a shot into the upper corner with just two seconds left in the first.
Morgan and DiStefano pushed the Red Dragons' lead to 7-2 with goals at 7:06 and 1:14, respectively, in the second quarter, but Brown scored an important goal for Middlebury (15-3) 20 seconds before the half to make it a 7-3 game.
The Panthers made a run at Cortland, notching the first three goals of the third quarter, two from Hopkins and one from Ferrer, to get to within 7-6 at the midway point. The Panthers were in position to tie the game after a one-minute cross-checking penalty on Cortland at 7:28. The Red Dragons, however, successfully killed off the man-up chance, getting a big ground ball from sophomore close defender Justin Schneidman (Katonah/John Jay). The possession then led to a break for Cortland and a goal by Tota, which started the 9-2 run that put the game out of reach.
Krol and Tota scored 77 seconds apart and Cortland led 10-6 before Petty cut the lead to three with his second of the game at 48 seconds. Morgan, however, gave the momentum right back to the Red Dragons when he scored off a pass from DeLuca three seconds before the end of the quarter and Cortland led 11-7.
Morgan, Misiaszek and Krol pumped in goals less than five minutes into the fourth quarter and Cortland's lead had ballooned to 14-7. At 8:12, Wright tallied a man-up goal, and Mulvaney upped the advantage to 16-7 just 31 seconds later off a DeLuca feed. Ferrer finished the scoring with his second of the game on Smith's fourth assist at 5:49. Cortland played ball control in the closing minutes to seal the 16-8 win.

"Several years ago, one of the people on our advisory council had the idea of having a fundraising event sort of centered around building of a really nice house and then having parties related to that and having fundraising activities related activities related to building that house and we called it the pink ribbon house."
The Pink Ribbon House fundraisers are put on by the Pink Ribbon House committee. A group of Houston women --most of them breast cancer survivors. Women like Gail Rauhut who's been cancer free for almost 7 years.
"I had one of the new digital mammographies, which was very new at the time. Now, it's kind of the standard thing. And because mine was so small, the digital mammography picked it up. And we were able to have surgery and the proper treatment afterwards."
Trish Hayes has been with the group six years. She was diagnosed 9 years ago at age 36. She remember those days like it was yesterday.
"I had a young son, a baby, and I'd just finished breastfeeding him and I felt a lump, and I thought, I don't remember that being there. And that was there very first moment."
This is the fifth Pink Ribbon House in Houston. All of the previous houses were sold to private buyers and each house raised almost half a million dollars. Money is donated by developers, sponsors, private donors and also some of the parties and functions they have at the house once its ready to be shown off to the public. Hayes says it feels good to be able to give something back.
"It's wonderful to be able to take something that was so difficult and so personal and to turn it into something positive, and hopefully it's an example for my kids to see as well."
You can help breast cancer research by attending one of the Pink Ribbon House fundraisers. If you want the house itself...that'll cost a couple million.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) -
ILLINOIS: Despite career days by the pass-catch duo of Nathan Scheelhaase and Steve Hull, the Fighting Illini dropped a 52-35 decision at Indiana over the weekend. It was the fifth straight loss, all against Big Ten foes, for an Illinois club that had won three of its first four to open the campaign. Scheelhaase completed 38-of-57 passes for 450 yards and two TDs, both of which went to Hull, who caught nine balls for 224 yards. Scheelhaase also scored on the ground, tallying 45 yards on 55 carries, while Josh Ferguson led the Illinois rushing attack with 90 yards and a TD on 16 totes. The Hoosiers used a bruising ground attack (371 yards, four TDs) to keep the Illini defense back on its heels. Overall, Illinois came up with a pair of turnovers and logged three sacks, with Earnest Thomas III leading the way with nine tackles (eight solo) and a forced fumble. Corey Lewis pounced on a loose ball in the end zone to bring the Illini to within three points (38-35) early in the fourth quarter, but Indiana scored the final 17 points to put the game away. Illinois, which has lost a staggering 19 consecutive Big Ten bouts, plays host to undefeated Ohio State this Saturday.
INDIANA: The Hoosiers had a couple of career performances of their own in the 52-35 win over visiting Illinois on Saturday, as Cody Latimer caught 11 passes for 189 yards and three TDs, and Tevin Coleman ran for 215 yards on only 15 carries. Coleman's effort was the best for an Indiana running back in a decade. The two teams combined for more than 1,200 yards, with the Hoosiers amassing 371 on the ground and 279 through the air. Illinois did the bulk of its damage with the pass (450 yards). Stephen Houston complemented Coleman's afternoon by churning out 150 yards and scoring twice on 17 attempts, marking the second straight week and the third time this season that both rushed for more than 100 yards in the same game. Nate Sudfeld went 20-of-27 with the three scores, but he was sacked three times and picked off once. Clyde Newton posted a career-high 11 tackles, nine of which were unassisted, while David Cooper recorded eight solo stops, nine in all. With their recent three-game losing streak snapped, the Hoosiers will try once again to secure consecutive victories for the first time this season when they play at Wisconsin this Saturday.
IOWA: The Hawkeyes rushed for a season-high 318 yards and three TDs as they pounded the Purdue Boilermakers into submission over the weekend, winning in West Lafayette, 38-14. It was the sixth victory of the season for Iowa, making the team eligible for a bowl game, and evening its league ledger at 3-3. Jordan Canzeri ran for a career-high 165 yards and a TD, and Damon Bullock added 85 yards on only 10 totes for an Iowa offense that also got 191 yards and two passing scores from QB Jake Rudock. Don Shumpert turned his two catches into 69 yards. Iowa finished with 509 yards of total offense, compared to only 266 for the Boilermakers, who lost for the seventh straight time and have yet to record a win over another member of the FBS this season. Christian Kirksey led the Iowa defense with eight tackles, seven of which were solo efforts, and the Hawkeyes were credited with nine TFL. Drew Ott had 1.5 of the team's two sacks. Iowa is idle this week, next returning to action on Nov. 23 at home against Michigan.
MICHIGAN: The Wolverines couldn't make a fourth-quarter lead stand up, as they fell at home to the Nebraska Cornhuskers over the weekend, 17-13. It was the second straight setback, and third in the last four games for a Michigan squad that had won its first five games of the season. The loss also snapped the Wolverines' 19-game home winning streak and saddled them with their third loss in five Big Ten bouts. Devin Gardner threw for 196 yards and a TD, but was sacked seven times for a loss of 43 yards, leaving the UM offense with -21 net rushing yards, and only 175 total yards on the day. Receivers Devin Funchess and Jeremy Gallon combined for 11 catches, 115 yards and a score. The Wolverines played well defensively, limiting the Cornhuskers to 273 yards, while coming up with a pair of fumble recoveries. Cameron Gordon and James Ross III paced the unit with eight tackles apiece, while Jibreel Black made all three of his stops behind the line of scrimmage. Michigan will try to right the ship this Saturday when it plays at Northwestern.
MICHIGAN STATE: The Spartans were idle over the weekend, giving them additional time to prepare for this Saturday's Big Ten Legends Division showdown with Nebraska. Michigan State is 8-1 on the year, and 5-0 in conference -- a game ahead of the second-place Cornhuskers.
MINNESOTA: The Golden Gophers picked up their fourth straight win over the weekend by taking care of visiting Penn State, 24-10. At 8-2 overall and 4-2 in conference, Minnesota is already eligible for a bowl game, and has more victories than any Gopher squad since the 2003 team went 10-3. Against the Nittany Lions, Philip Nelson threw for 186 yards and a TD, while David Cobb ran for 139 yards and a score. The Gophers defense gave up some yards (353), but stood tall in permitting only a single TD while holding the Lions to 1- of-9 success on third down, and 1-of-3 on fourth down -- all while being on the field for only 24:32. Eric Murray and Antonio Johnson paced the unit with nine tackles apiece, the former logging eight solo stops to go with a TFL and a fumble recovery. Minnesota is idle this week, and will close out the regular season with a pair of games at home versus Wisconsin on Nov. 23, and on the road against Michigan State on Nov. 30.
NEBRASKA: The Cornhuskers trailed by three points in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game at Michigan, but rallied to snap the Wolverines' 19-game home winning streak in what turned out to be a 17-13 victory. Nebraska improved to 7-2 overall, 4-1 in conference, and is within a game of Legends Division leader Michigan State. The Huskers host the Spartans this Saturday. Nebraska took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter against Michigan, but allowed the Maize and Blue to score the next 13 points before Ameer Abdullah plunged in from five yards out with just over two minutes remaining in regulation to give Nebraska the win. Abdullah ran for 105 yards and a TD, and he also caught a scoring pass from Tommy Armstrong, Jr., who finished the day 11-of-19 for 139 yards. Quincy Enunwa led the receiving corps with seven grabs for 69 yards. As for the Nebraska defense, it was brilliant in allowing only 175 yards to Michigan, and by logging seven sacks, held the Wolverines to -21 net rushing yards on 36 totes. Michael Rose paced the Huskers with eight tackles, while Randy Gregory tallied three sacks, and Zaire Anderson had a pair. In all, the NU defense was credited with 15 TFL, but did not record a takeaway, although it did stop the Wolverines on two of their three fourth-down conversion attempts.
NORTHWESTERN: Mired in a five-game losing streak, the Wildcats got a much- needed break over the weekend. Northwestern will try once again to secure its first conference win of the season when it plays host to the Michigan Wolverines this Saturday.
OHIO STATE: The undefeated Buckeyes had the weekend off, and they'll put the wraps on the 2013 regular season with games in three consecutive weeks, beginning this Saturday at Illinois.
PENN STATE: Zach Zwinak rushed for a season-high 150 yards, but his effort went for naught as the Nittany Lions dropped a 24-10 decision at Minnesota over the weekend. Since opening the season 2-0, Penn State has alternated losses and wins over last seven games, and it will try to continue that trend when it welcomes the struggling Purdue Boilermakers to Happy Valley this Saturday. The Lions tallied 353 yards of total offense against the Golden Gophers, with Christian Hackenberg accounting for 163 yards on only 14 completions. Allen Robinson caught seven balls for 63 yards, breaking Bobby Engram's 18-year-old school record for receiving yards in a season, now at 1,106. The PSU defense surrendered 381 yards to the home team, with 195 coming on the ground and 186 through the air. Mike Hull led the unit with nine tackles, seven being solo efforts, while C.J. Olaniyan was credited with 2.5 TFL. The Lions converted only 1-of-9 third-down opportunities, and held possession of the ball for only 24:32. One of the positives for coach Bill O'Brien's squad is that it only committed one penalty. Malcolm Wills finished with eight stops, one PBU and a fumble recovery.
PURDUE: The Boilermakers suffered their seventh straight loss over the weekend, falling in a 38-14 final to the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes. Danny Etling completed only 15-of-28 passes for 145 yards, hitting Akeem Hunt seven times for 63 yards, and Danny Anthrop four times for 82 yards and a TD. As for the Purdue rushing attack, it accounted for a mere 53 yards on 28 attempts (1.9 ypc). Brandon Cotton tallied 28 yards on 12 carries. The Purdue defense was gashed for 318 yards on the ground, 509 in all, but got seven solo tackles from Collin Link, and six total stops each from Anthony Brown, Taylor Richards and Frankie Williams. The Boilermakers have only one win on the season, and that came against an FCS foe in Indiana State back in week two. They will play at Penn State this Saturday.
WISCONSIN: The Badgers took a break from conference play over the weekend to tangle with the visiting BYU Cougars, and the home team prevailed in a 27-17 final. James White was the offensive star for Wisconsin, accounting for three TDs (two rushing, one receiving), and he finished with 150 yards on the ground. Melvin Gordon had an off day by his standards, rushing for 86 yards on 19 carries. Joel Stave went 23-of-32 for 196 yards with a TD and an INT, hitting Jared Abbrederis eight times for 67 yards, and Jacob Pedersen and White six times each. Chris Borland paced the UW defense with 13 tackles, which included a pair of sacks. Michael Caputo added a dozen stops, and was instrumental in helping limit the Cougars to 370 yards and 17 points -- well below their season averages of 32 points and 511 yards per game. The Badgers get back to Big Ten action this Saturday with a home game against Indiana.

If you stop in at 944 Florida Ave. NW around 8 a.m., you can get an herb frittata with a hazelnut latte from Blind Dog Cafe. Come back again at 8 p.m. and you can down a Heineken at Darnell's Bar. Same place. Different owners. One lease.
Friends Noah Karesh, Jonas Singer and Cullen Gilchrist approached Darnell Perkins back in November about running a temporary coffeehouse in his saloon during the off-hours. The trio, who were customers, wanted to gauge the neighborhood's interest before committing to leasing, refitting and operating a stand-alone space.

Recap: Kansas State 62, A&M 14
22 Responses
Wake Up Aggieland! The fish rots at the head. Fire Bill Byrne. New A.D. will fire Mike Sherman and hire a coach who can actually recruit, coach, motivate, and get it done! Tonight's game is beyond words how horrible we are against a totally horrible team. We are now the #12 team in the Big 12 … AGAIN!
This is unacceptable on SO MANY levels. When does this happen in college football in this day in age? At least in conference play? Name the biggest doormats in the major super conferences. Do they pull this crap even?
Richard Justice – you ready to admit you were totally wrong yet?!? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/justice/6651409.html
Tonight's loss was far worse than Franchione's loss at OU 77-0. OU was a Top 5 team, but this KSU team was ranked one of the Bottom 20 in the country. Sherman has reached a new low. Brent, I sure hope you don't let him off easy in questions or analysis. This is an all new low. This program is spiraling out of control down the toilet. Bill Byrne and his "good old boy" hire Mike Sherman must go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgg1wuXXe8k
Its game week!!!
Texas Tech 66 – Kstate 14
Kstate 64 – texas a&m 14
If Tech doesnt beat a&m by 102, its an upset! i like the aggies chance in this one!
oooooops, i meant 62-14. a&m's not THAT bad. change 102 to 100 . . .
WOW! It's true…..it's 11:08 and atm SUCKS!!!!
Are the Aggies ready to go winless the rest of the way? I hope Aggie fans are happy with their 3 wins or 4, whatever it is. pahahahahaha embarrassed by one of the worser teams in the big 12. Sad sad sad. Boy oh boy, its gonna be a rough couple years ahead for the Aggies.
When Nebraska finally got serious about turning around their football coach, removed the cancer, not the symptom. Nebraska fired the Athletic Director. Then the new A.D. fired the horrible coach and started from scratch with Bo Pelini.
At Texas A&M, Athletic Director Bill Byrne was hired for one primary purpose and everybody knows it: FIX TEXAS A&M FOOTBALL. Prior to his hiring, he insisted that the administration fire R.C. Slocum and hire Franchione BEFORE he came on board so he won't catch the heat, but we all know he was involved in these deals well before his official hiring.
Since then he has presided over the 7+ worst years of Aggie football with the two worst coaches, lost our only good basketball coach, and helped our baseball team (when you look only at end of season rankings) really improve only marginally (2009 preseason no. 1, end of season outside the Top 25).
No one gives a crap about volleyball, water ballet, full contact checkers, golf, or track & field. These bring in less than 2% of the revenue. The other 98% are the 3 big mens sports, and Bill Byrne has earned an F every single year. Remove the cancer and the symptoms will go away: fire athletic director Bill Byrne, have Sherman resign at the end of Thanksgiving for personal reasons (dignity, integrity), and gets the World Class coach that will out recruit, coach, motivate better than the top 5 college coaches … Stoops, Brown, Carroll and Meyer.
And just to be clear about recruiting, Mike Sherman is about to flame out for the 3rd consecutive year. In February 2008, his class was #25 per ESPN. In February 2009, his class was OUTSIDE the Top 25 per ESPN. Tracking for February 2010, Mike Sherman's class is currently #10 Scout.com. But here is what all the blind Aggie followers and UT sports reporters won't tell you.
For February 2010, Texas A&M is currently ahead of these programs that nobody believes will stay behind A&M as they always finish strong right after their bowl games: USC, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, Miami, Virginia Tech, and Nebraska. Then there are other teams that will likely be ahead of Mike Sherman based on recent trends, bowl participations and … well, Mike Sherman's inability to excite anyone: Texas Tech, Missouri, Houston, West Virginia, TCU and UCLA. You heard it hear first: Mike Sherman is tracking for his BEST recruiting year with this upcoming class: around #22 when it is all said and done!
Hey, UT-graduate Richard Justice! Still think Obama is a great president and Mike Sherman is a great coach? Still think A&M should "stay the course"?
In the Dallas Morning News' college sports sections, here are the stories in order of listing:
1. Sooner's Bradford deserved a better ending against UT
2. Florida Atlantic 44, North Texas 40
3. SMU's OT woes continue
4. Kansas State crushes A&M
5. Texas Tech over Nebraska
Two words come to minds. Embarrassing – debacle. Expectations were high and once again we lay an egg. We are at best the 5th team in the country? Big 12? Big 12 South? NO! We are maybe the 5th best team in the state of Texas. Texas, TT, TCU, and Houston are all better. Only Texas consistently recruits better so it comes down to coaching. Sherman is not getting it done. We are getting better athletes but they are not getting the coaching that they need to succeed. Hopefully something will change.
Hey Brent,
I wanted to watch the game but couldn't find it on any channel. So I looked in the newspaper for some analysis, but there isn't any today. We all know that KSU isn't good enough (though they have stomped the Longhorns several times during the Brown era) nor the Aggies bad enough to produce such a result. You were there and saw everything. Can you explain how it went so wrong?
Time for BZ to expose another farce Aggie coach, AD, and University President. Go for it Brent.
We only have a small window to go after Sumlin. You need to move quickly.
WOW. The Tech game should be close. Maybe we should trade places with Cougar High and let them play a Big 12 schedule since they already have more Big 12 conference wins than we'll have all year. Sad when we are looking up at Cougar High but maybe we could win a game in CUSA. Even the WAC looks tough for us. Maybe the MAC will take us. Not looking forward to OU and TU.
I miss the earlier part of the season- you know, where aTm was 3-0, had the #1 offense in the country, and the aggie faithful were wondering why their QB wasn't in the thick of the Heisman discussion.
Ah, those were the days.
Poooooooooor aggies.
It seems the only person that can turn around the mess called Aggie football is Henry Frazier III, the head coach of Prarie View A&M. What he has done at Prarie View is just astounding. He took what was once the laughing stock of college football and has turned them into a national power. It seems the Aggies have reached that point now so why not hire Henry Frazier III????
Class of '70
With all the talent we have, young or not, we SHOULD be competitive in EVERY GAME!. Hats off to Sherman for once again failing to get his team ready. It is safe to say that Sherman is WORSE than FRAN! If we don't fire Sherman NOW! Be prepared for another 5-7 years for 3-9 season. What a joke of a football team! Thanks SHERMAN!
A difficult defeat to stomach by most any Division I school is getting beat by ULaLa. Even more humiliating is getting 'thumped' by a school that got beat by ULaLa. September 12, 2009 => ULaLa 17 – KSU 15.
I would like to comment on what a class act Bill Snyder is. He called off the wolves after KSU scored their first two TD's in the 3rd quarter. It really could have been much uglier!!! The Ags may not get that type of reprieve this Saturday in Lubbock!
I didn't think that anything could stop Custer's drivel, but it looks like this may have done it.
BZ: Or some people take Sunday off?
I have contended all along playing sisters of charity teams, UAB, U LA Monroe, Lower Rio Grande Valley State and whoever else Byrne can bribe to show up gets you nowhere. # 1 offense and 3-0 against these is meaningless. Now it shows and is even worse with the K State disaster. I am glad to see people are waking up to the fact that Byrne takes credit for championships in meaningless sports and accomplishes nothing where it counts. The guy is a massive liability and must go now! A&M sticks with losers far too long. Sherman looked good on paper but Byrne interviewed no one else. That is why Gary Patterson is still at TCU. We could have dumped loser Fran a year earlier and gone after Urban Meyer. Byrne gives contracts that are way too long and we get hung. Now we will pay for it in continued losing seasons. Cut our losses and hire the Boston College AD, he has principals.
I went to the A&M v Neb game in Lincoln in 1999. The noise, loud music and circus atmosphere was a pathetic joke. I came away saying how thankful I was A&M has a classy, traditional gameday experience without the Yak Lady side show crap. Byrne brought that drek to A&M and ruined the traditional band/corps focused gameday experience. I have heard so many people complain. A&M is different and values tradition. Lets be distinguished and not like everybody else except lets win some games.
It is time for significant change at my school.
Hey guys, I'm not an Aggie fan and I'm not here to flame you. But Saturday's game was so extraordinary it captures attention in all quarters. I have a question. Is there any way A&M could get R. C. Slocum back to coaching? The guy is a class act all the way, and he gets results. If K-State can entice Bill Snyder. . .

Super Hotel
This hotel is such a lovely place, very warm and welcoming with staff who are so helpful.
The downstairs lounge and dining room area is very comfortable and cosy and the rooms are more than adequate for a weekend stay. It is ideally situated being just a short walk away from Picadilly and in the immediate area are bars and restaurants. My friend and I go for a weekend break to London each year and we will be using this as our base in future.

In its day I am sure a wonderful hotel. However, now it requires some investment in the decor and furnishings. The air con in the room is rather old and very noisy.

A really pleasantly situated and welcoming ' bijou' style hotel offering excellent accommodation.
The locality and entrance are inviting and the reception staff were welcoming, helpful and efficient.
I like the individuality of the rooms and although small they catered for all my needs. I thought the breakfast was excellent and beautifully served. Also, I appreciated the pleasant sitting area with its relaxed atmosphere. In all I rate Park Lane Mews highly.

Good value in an expensive area
A good quality hotel that gives more character and considerably better service than the equivalently-priced budget hotels.

The hotel is in a good position for the West End of London and is relatively cheap considering its location.
The room we had was small and the bed, in particular, was too short for a 6ft 4in man, resulting in an uncomfortable night. Service and food were good and the staff are to be commended

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery
Description of Services
Changing the way the world sees brain surgery.
When many people think of brain surgery, they think of a lengthy recovery and extensive scarring or plastic surgery. Today that's not always the case. The Brain Care Institute at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC is a regional and national leader in performing minimally invasive procedures using smaller incisions, which can mean less pain, less scarring, faster healing, and shorter hospital stays.
Over the past decade, surgeons at UPMC have pioneered two minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques known as the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA) and Neuroendoport® Surgery. These techniques have the potential to be safer and more effective than conventional surgery in children with certain life-threatening conditions, including brain tumors. Neurosurgeons at Children's are also highly skilled in the minimally invasive treatment of hydrocephalus using endoscopic techniques.
Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA): A new approach to brain surgery.
EEA is an innovative surgical technique used to remove brain tumors and lesions — some as large as softballs — through the nose and nasal passages. A specially designed endoscope provides light and a lens for viewing and transmitting internal images. Highly crafted instruments are used alongside the endoscope for removing the tumor. At the Brain Care Institute, our multidisciplinary team has developed and refined this technique for use in children, making them among the most experienced pediatric experts in the world.
Here are some benefits of EEA:
- No facial incisions or disfigurement
- Less trauma to the brain and critical nerves
- The possibility of fewer side effects
- Faster recovery time than with traditional surgery
Neuroendoport Surgery
Neuroendoport Surgery may be used to reach tumors and lesions deep in the brain, such as gliomas, juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas (JPAs), and colloid cysts. Developed at UPMC, the Neuroendoport allows surgeons to operate through a narrow tube — the circumference of a dime — to reach tumors with minimal trauma to the surrounding brain tissue.
Some of the benefits of the Neuroendoport technique are:
- A tiny incision and minimal scarring
- Less manipulation of brain and critical nerves
- The possibility of fewer side effects and complications
- Faster recovery time than with traditional surgery
Endoscopic Management of Hydrocephalus
Neurosurgeons at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have significant expertise in the minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of hydrocephalus, a very common pediatric disorder. Endoscopic intraventricular surgery allows surgeons to directly treat an obstruction to the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid circulation (endoscopic cyst fenestration) and/or to bypass the area of obstruction (endoscopic third ventriculostomy, endoscopic septostomy).

Resource ratio tradeoffs exist, but fail to explain effects of nitrogen on plant species richness.
Stevens, Martin Henry*,1, Carson, Walter*,2, 1 Ecology Graduate Program, Oxford, OH, USA2 Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
ABSTRACT- Tradeoffs in plant traits associated with resource ratio specialization and response nonlinearity should explain variation in plant species richness along productivity gradients. Unfortunately, few experiments have documented the presence of such tradeoffs in general, nor have any experiments tested whether such tradeoffs can explain changes in relative abundance associated with the loss of diversity. We manipulated light and soil nitrogen in field experiments that tested for the presence of these tradeoffs, and tested whether these tradeoffs explain the loss of richness with increasing soil nitrogen. Common species appeared to occupy significantly different light and nitrogen niches that were consistent with tradeoffs assumed by resource ratio specialization and response nonlinearity. Tradeoffs existed between species success in low light versus species sensitivity to increasing light (r = -0.90), and between species sensitivity to increasing light versus sensitivity to increasing soil nitrogen (r = -0.66). These results are consistent with both resource ratio and response nonlinearity as general mechanisms of coexistence in plant communities that are especially relevant to resource gradients. These tradeoffs, however, failed to explain the change in species abundances along the resource gradient. Thus, while these tradeoffs appear to exist, they do not explain the loss of species richness along this soil resource gradient.
Key words: productivity, resource ratio, species diversity, tradeoff

About a year ago I started entertaining the idea of utilizing a stand up desk at work. However, this idea was promptly thrown away once I started to research the costs of stand-up desks. Talk about EXPENSIVE! You would think these things were made of gold…who knew standing and working could cost so much more than regular sit-down desks. Have no fear, though. I knew there had to be a cheaper way to achieve this goal and was relentless on finding a way. Through much research I came across an IKEA hack that allowed me to build a stand-up desk for under $80. Here's how:
Unfortunately, I do not have an IKEA close to me. I live in Taylorsville, KY and work in Louisville, KY. The closest IKEA to me was in Westchester, OH. Thus, I had to endure the dreaded cost of freight. This added $32.00 to my final cost. So, if you have an IKEA near you, you can easily build this same setup for less than $50, which is pretty darn cool in my books.
At any rate, a quick google search on "IKEA Hack Stand Up Desks" will give you a plethora of links in which to surf. You can come up with some really good ideas on good stand up desks towards the cheaper side. I really liked the IKEA Expedit Stand Up Hack. I will most likely incorporate this setup in my home office. You can also browse some other good ideas here, provided by LifeHacker.
The picture above is the setup I chose to use at my work. It was a cheap introduction to the stand-up desk and utilizes my current desk as a foundation to the stand-up desk. I was able to experiment with this setup, without fear of breaking the bank. Without further ado, here is the shopping list:
Shopping List
- (1) LACK Coffee Table (stock# 401.042.94) – Color is up to you. I chose the black-brown version.
- (1) EKBY HEMNES Shelf (stock# 301.798.74) – Color is up to you. I chose the black-brown version to match the coffee table.
- (2) EKBY VALTER Brackets (stock# 801.674.73) – Color is up to you. I chose the black version to match the coffee table and shelf. Even though the coffee table and shelf are "black-brown" and the brackets are "black", the colors are pretty much the same….at least to me.
- (4) 3" x 1/4" bolts, with washers and nuts from your local hardware store. These will be used to fasten the brackets to the front legs of the coffee table. If you chose, or choose to, surf through some of the ideas found through your google search as mentioned above, you may run into similar setups. Some people choose to use screws instead of bolts. I would not recommend using screws. The material is pressed particle board and the legs of the coffee table are hollow. Thus, bolts will provide a more secure connection to the coffee table than screws.
Now on to the how-to
- Assemble the LACK coffee table according to the IKEA instructions
- Clear off your existing desk and place the LACK coffee table on top of your desk
- From a standing position figure out the correct height for the EKBY HEMNES shelf. The shelf will be used to hold your keyboard and mouse. You want the shelf to be at a height that will allow you to stand comfortably, with your elbows bending at a 90 degree angle while typing.
- Once the shelving height is marked, you will connect the EKBY Valter brackets to the front legs of the LACK coffee table using the 3" bolts, washers and nuts. The EKBY Valter brackets are pre-drilled with holes, so place the bracket at the correct height according to the shelf height you established in step 3. Place a mark through both pre-drilled holes of the EKBY Valter bracket on to the coffee table. Drill two 1/4" holes into the leg of the LACK coffee table.
- Line up the EKBY Valter bracket pre-drilled holes with the 1/4" holes you just drilled into the LACK coffee table legs. Feed two bolts through the 1/4" holes, put on the washers, and tighten down with the nuts. Be sure not to over tighten the bolts as the legs of the LACK coffee table are made of pressed wood. Please note that you may need to widen the holes a bit on the EKBY Valter brackets to accept the 1/4" bolts.
- Repeat this process with the other bracket. Be sure to make sure to level the shelf before drilling holes for the second bracket.
- Place the shelf on top of the attached brackets, and voila! Your new stand up desk is ready to go. You may choose to fasten the shelf to the brackets with small screws. I chose not to fasten the shelf because I wanted the ability to remove the shelf so I have unobstructed access to the built in shelf on the LACK coffee table. This is completely a personal preference.
- This is an optional step. You will notice that the EKBY Valter shelf extends out past the edges of the LACK coffee table. I chose to leave the overhang there because it provides more workspace. You may choose to cut the shelf down to better fit the width of the LACK coffee table.
- All that's left is to set up your monitor(s), speakers, computers, etc. and you're ready to start working while your standing!
My take on standing while working and other suggestions
I have been using the stand-up desk for two months now and I thoroughly enjoy this new setup. I will caution that it will take some time to condition yourself to the new setup. In about two months I am standing up about 50% of the time and sitting the other half. You will have to slowly progress to extend the amount of time you can spend standing.
When I first started this routine, I was whooped by the end of the day. Sitting down in my car to go home was pure heaven! My legs were also sore the next day. So, take it slow and build up your stamina. All in all though, the process has worked out great. I feel as if I have more energy throughout the day and I feel more productive.
Even still, I have some suggestions to add to your setup. They are not necessary, but will make the entire process more enjoyable and keep you running at peak efficiency. Invest in an anti-fatigue mat and a tall chair (at least 36" in sitting height) that has a back.
The anti-fatigue mat helps tremendously while standing and will allow you to stand in longer intervals. I chose to use a NewLife Eco-Pro Work Floor Mat. I purchased this from Amazon. You don't have to use this exact mat. Any anti-fatigue mat will work.
A tall chair with a back, that gives you a minimum sitting height of 36" allows you to take a break from standing, but still use the same stand-up desk. Otherwise, you will have to maintain two different workstations, one for standing and one for sitting. This wasn't practical for me. Thus, I use a Boss B16245-BK Caressoft Medical/Drafting Stool with Back Cushion. This is the perfect chair for me to continue using the stand-up desk while sitting. Again, you can choose any chair or stool that you like, but this is the best one I could find at the time.
There you have it. Now, everybody stand-up and enjoy your new work station! If you are already using a stand-up desk please leave your set-up in the comments below. I would love to hear about your setup.

Academic dishonesty involves a violation of trust and honor within an institution that places these qualities above all others, The importance of these qualities to Western Oregon University faculty and students is clearly outlined in the Code of Student Responsibility in the College Catalog. It should be emphasized that in addition to discrediting the institution, academic dishonesty harms all students by changing grade curves and creating unjustified peer pressure among classmates.
Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and fabrication. In simple terms, academic cheating involves the deliberate attempt to gain academic credit dishonestly.
Plagiarism refers to cases of "intellectual theft" where one person presents the work of another as one's own. Two examples of plagiarism include the direct copying of material from published work without properly citing that work and the submission of work written by another, such as a former student or a commercial vendor. Fabrication refers to the false citation of material such as the citing of a published work for something actually written by the student.
Cheating, plagiarism, and fabrication are serious breaches of academic standards and subject to severe sanctions including failing grades, academic probation, suspension, and expulsion. ff you are still uncertain as to what constitutes cheating, plagiarism and fabrication, ask your instructors to clarify their meaning; ignorance is not a defense.
In cases of academic dishonesty at Western Oregon University, the Faculty of the Social Science Division has agreed upon the following protocol:
I . Any instance of academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade for the assignment. This may result in a failing grade for the course. If more than one student is knowingly involved, all will receive a failing grade. The instructor will notify the student of their belief and resulting intention and provide the student an opportunity to explain to the instructor why the instructor's belief is wrong before giving the grade.
2. In cases of calculated academic dishonesty, the case will be referred to the Student Conduct Committee. In such cases, the student will be directed by the instructor to the Dean of Students' Office.
3 . The names of students involved in academic dishonesty and a description of the nature of the dishonesty will be kept in Division files and available to faculty on a need-to-know basis- All original evidence of academic dishonesty will be retained by the university.

The existence of a Muslim kingdom in Medieval Spain where different races and religions lived harmoniously in multicultural tolerance is one of today's most widespread myths. University professors teach it. Journalists repeat it. Tourists visiting the Alhambra accept it. It has reached the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal, which sings the virtues of the "pan-confessional humanism" of Andalusian Spain (July 18, 2003). The Economist echoes the belief: "Muslim rulers of the past were far more tolerant of people of other faiths than were Catholic ones. For example, al-Andalus's multi-cultural, multi-religious states ruled by Muslims gave way to a Christian regime that was grossly intolerant even of dissident Christians, and that offered Jews and Muslims a choice only between being forcibly converted and being expelled (or worse)."1 The problem with this belief is that it is historically unfounded, a myth. The fascinating cultural achievements of Islamic Spain cannot obscure the fact that it was never an example of peaceful convivencia.
The history of Islamic Spain begins, of course, with violent conquest. Helped by internal dissension among the Visigoths, in 711 A.D. Islamic warriors entered Christian Spain and defeated the Visigothic king Rodrigo. These Muslims were a mixture of North African Berbers, or "Moors," who made up the majority, and Syrians, all led by a small number of Arabs proper (from the Arabian peninsula). The Crónica Bizantina of 741 A.D., the Crónica mozárabe of 754 A.D. and the illustrations to the thirteenth-century Cantigas de Santa María chronicle the brutality with which the Muslims subjugated the Catholic population. From then on, the best rulers of al- Andalus were autocrats who through brute force kept the peace in the face of religious, dynastic, racial, and other divisions.
These divisions, and the ruthless methods of dealing with them, were not unique to Muslim Spain. The jihad launched around 634 against the then-Christian Middle East by the successors of Muhammad was marked by internal conflict after the assassination of the third Caliph, Uthman (644-656). The founder of the Emirate of Cordoba, Abd al-Rahman I (734?-788), "The Emigrant," had to flee Syria to avoid the extermination ordered against his Umayyad family by the rival Abassids. Allied with Berbers from North Africa and helped by Yemenite and Syriansettlers in Spain willing to betray their masters, he proceeded to enter Spain from Africa, defeat the Abbasid governor of al- Andalus in 756 , and make himself Emir. He kept peace among Muslims and between Muslims, Catholics, and Jews by means of an army of more than 40,000 soldiers. It was he who ordered the demolition of the ancient Catholic church of Cordoba to build the much admired mosque. During his reign and that of Abd al-Rahman II (822-852), the conqueror of Barcelona, Catholics suffered confiscations of property, enslavement, and increases in their exacted tribute, which helped finance the embellishment of Islamic Cordoba.
Under Abd al-Rahman II and Muhammad I (822-886), a number of Catholics were killed in Cordoba for preaching against Islam, while others were expelled from the city. Among these victims was Saint Eulogio, beheaded by the Islamic authorities.2 Muhammad I ordered that "newly constructed churches be destroyed as well as anything in the way of refinements that might adorn the old churches added since the Arab conquest."3
Abd al-Rahman III (912-961), "The Servant of the Merciful," declared himself Caliph of Cordoba. He took the city to heights of splendor not seen since the days of Harunal- Rashid's Baghdad, financed largely through the taxation of Catholics and Jews and the booty and tribute obtained in military incursions against Catholic lands. He also punished Muslim rebellions mercilessly, thereby keeping the lid on the boiling cauldron that was multicultural al- Andalus. His rule presumably marks the zenith of Islamic tolerance. Al-Mansur (d. 1002), "The One Made Victorious by Allah," implemented in al-Andalus in 978 a ferocious military dictatorship backed by a huge army. In addition to building more palaces and subsidizing the arts and sciences in Cordoba, he burned heretical booksand terrorized Catholics, sacking Zaragoza, Osma, Zamora, Leon, Astorga, Coimbra, and Santiago de Compostela. In 985 he burned down Barcelona, enslaving all those he did not kill.
By 1031 the internal divisions of al- Andalus had caused its fragmentation into several tyrannical little "kingdoms," the socalled taifas. Between 1086 and 1212, new waves of Islamic jihadists from North Africa washed over the land. The first wave were the almoravides, fundamentalist warriors invited by the taifa rulers to help them against the growing strength of the Catholic kingdoms. With the support of the Muslim Andalusian masses and of Muslim legal scholars, who resented the heavy taxation and what they regarded as the debauched and impious life of their princely rulers, the almoravides deposed the taifa kings and unified Andalusia. They pushed back the Catholic advances and made the life of both Catholics and Jews much more difficult than before. By 1138, however, their empire was falling apart under pressure from the Catholic kingdoms and another wave of North African fundamentalist Muslims, the almohades. The almohades thought that the almoravides had become too lax in their practice of Islam—perhaps, one may surmise, because of contagion from the Catholics. By 1170 the almohades had taken control of Andalusia and unleashed new horrors on Catholics, Jews, and other Muslims. That the ruthless almohades also produced marvelous architecture and were responsible for the beauty of some mozarabic buildings, such as Santa María la Blanca in Toledo, captures nicely the true nature of Andalusian Spain. But the almohades were decisively beaten by the allied kings of Castile, Aragon, and Navarra at Navas de Tolosa in 1212. From then on the Catholics kept the military initiative, finally defeating the last Muslim kingdom, Granada, in 1492.
The early Muslim invaders were relatively small in numbers, so it was politically prudent to grant religious autonomy to Catholics, while trying to protect themselves from the "contagion" of Catholic influence by segregating themselves from the subject majority.4 Therefore they maintained the Catholics in a state of dhimmitude —as a "protected" class curtailed from any possibility of sharing political power or compromising the hegemonic position of Islam. In times of war or political turmoil, the Catholics' freedom was further restricted. Catholics fleeing Muslim rule lost all "protection," and their property was confiscated by the conquerors. "Tolerance at this extreme," notices historian Robert I. Burns, "is not easily distinguished from intolerance."5
For similar reasons of strategy, not "tolerance," the invaders obtained the help of Jewish leaders unhappy with their treatment under the Visigoths. Contrary to popular opinion, Jews were not very numerous, either in Andalusia or in Catholic Spain,6 but for a time Jewish garrisons kept an eye on Catholics populations in key cities like Cordoba, Granada, and Toledo.7 Jewish leaders achieved positions of power, as visirs (prime ministers), bankers, and counselors. Others wrote brilliant literary works, mostly in Arabic. Jews thus formed for a time an intermediary class between the hegemonic Muslims and the defeated Catholics. This was the so-called "Spanish Jewish Golden Age." But Jews remained dhimmi, a group subject to and serving the Muslim rulers.

I've been feeling the pain of rising gasoline costs again lately, and I'm not the only one. I'm looking forward to next month when I'll be on vacation for more than a week (and have very few expenses) and when I return, I'll be starting my new job with a shorter commute (41 miles compared to 27 miles each way).
The average self-serve regular gas has climbed to $2.50. Assuming I get 30 miles per gallon, I keep paying an average of $2.50 per gallon, and I commute both ways five days for 52 weeks, I'll be saving more than $600 each year.
I could buy an Apple 60 GB iPod with Video Playback and still have funds to spare… or I could try to save more.

More than 40 years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step foot on the Moon.
Four decades later, there's going to be a very different kind of landing there.
We're talking about two spacecraft that NASA says will crash land on the Moon on Monday afternoon.
The satellites, which are named Ebb and Flow, are running low on fuel, and that's why they're falling toward the Moon.
The spacecraft have been orbiting for months, learning more about the Moon's surface and composition.
NASA says the probes will crash land Monday, around 2 p.m.
But you won't be able to see them from Earth

Conejo Valley Quilters to hold show
Conejo Valley Quilters will present a quilt show this weekend.
"A Gathering Under the Oaks" will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Gilbert Sports Arena, California Lutheran University, 60 W. Olsen Road in Thousand Oaks.
The nonprofit, founded 15 years ago, puts on such a show every other year.
This year's highlights will be two guest artists, said show co-chairwoman Monica Sayre. Sylvia Q. Davis will appear Saturday, and Rita Verroca will appear Sunday.
"Sylvia Q. Davis is a longtime member of the African-American Quilters of Los Angeles and is a very energetic lady with lots of ideas about ethnic fabric and ethnic art, the development and production of fabric," Sayre said. "She has a very unique style of work."
Verroca, who has a studio in Thousand Oaks, has won awards for her quilts.
"She has her own original designs, and everything she does is hand-stitched. She does a lot of Baltimore-style, hand appliqué, embroidery embellishment hand-quilting," Sayre said.
For children, there will be a scavenger hunt with prizes and a quilting project that will benefit Interface Children & Family Services, a local organization that helps displaced victims of domestic violence, she added.
"The kids can color fabric blocks that we have prepared that will be made into quilts for Interface," Sayre said. "We did the same thing at the Ventura County Fair recently. You color the squares, and then with wax paper, you set the color so it doesn't run and the fabric can be washed. Then we make those into quilt tops and quilt them and donate them to Interface."
Another one of the show's philanthropic causes is the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative project.
"We will have a table with quilts that are started, and people may sit down and add a few stitches and comments on the quilt," Sayre said. "They may appliqué if they like or learn how. There will be people there to teach them to some extent."
There will also be a quilt exhibit with the members' quilts and a quilt yurt — housing that nomadic people used for centuries — on display.
Show co-chairwoman Claudia Nichol undertook this project.
"I was dinking around on the computer one day and saw that a woman in Scotland who built an authentic wood-and-rope-frame yurt for a quilt show," Nichol said. "I was not that ambitious."
Nichol used PVC pipe to build one that is about 15 feet from one side to the other. The quilts for the yurt are about 5 feet by 24 inches. She constructed the roof from a picnic table umbrella and a children's parachute.
On Sunday, the guild's opportunity quilt will be given away.
"An opportunity quilt is made by a large group of members, usually where the piece work is done individually," Sayre said. "The design is either by commission or designed by one of the members, and you have an opportunity to win it by purchasing a raffle ticket."
Weekend admission is $8, free for children and spouses. Parking is free.

Mission and VisionThe vision of the University of Colorado School of Medicine Global Health Track is simple: provide medical students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed as physicians in the global health arena. Through didactic and experiential learning, students gain a better understanding of the diverse issues facing developing communities and the ways they can work to be part of the solution to these dynamic problems. Students enrolled in the Global Health Track are part of a four-year program that includes additional course work and intensive project planning on top of their already rigorous schedules. Students also complete their Mentored Scholarly Activity working with one of the tracks international partners or with indigent communities in the US.
History of the Global Health TrackThe University of Colorado School of Medicine's Global Health Track was launched in 2006 in conjunction with the University of Colorado at Denver's Center for Global Health. In this same year, the School of Medicine began its Mentored Scholarly Activity program and determined that global health would be one of the acceptable areas of study. At its inception, the track included 16 first-year medical students and was run by volunteer faculty. The track grew considerably over the next two years and in 2008 the Global Health Track gained financial support from the School of Medicine was able to hire directors for the track while still utilizing over 85 volunteer instructors from various schools, departments and community and government organizations. In 2009, strides were made toward formalized partnerships between the Global Health Track and nine organizations in nine different countries around the world where students will conduct their longitudinal projects. Today, the Global Health Track continues to provide future physicians with the education and skills necessary to be a productive part of the global health arena.

I would stay away from stallions especially if you describe yourself as "green" - stallions are rarely a good match for unexperienced handlers/riders. I won't go near any stallions; and I'm not completely green.
While I agree that there are folks out there who don't have any business on a stud, I have had more bad experiences with mares than I have had with stud horses. The fact is that if properly handled from a young age, most studs can be managed with little to no trouble. Most folks who have issues with a stud horse are people who assume that their horse is carying around 2 excuses to act like a jerk and when said stud acts like a fool they say "oh, he can't help it, he is a stud". We have had a number of stud horses over the years, from HOT 1D-2D barrel horses, to western pleasure, to gaited and any of them could be, and were rode by anyone.
I am by no means saying that the OP needs to look for a stud, or even should she consider one, my point is that alot of new folks to horses hear stuff like this, and are scared of stud horses from the time they get into horses till they get out of them. I find that the vast majority of the people who are going around pushing the anti stud position, have never even been around a stud and really wouldnt know one if they saw one.
End rant.

In the largest political victory of his career, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was elected Supreme Ruler of the planet of New Texas today, a remote, fiscally conservative planet populated by 1 billion tiny versions of himself.
"My people, I stand before you today to announce that I, Ron Paul of Earth, accept this position as your planet's benevolent ruler," said Emperor-elect Paul, smiling before millions of 18-inch-high Ron Pauls, who alternately applauded, cheered, and chanted, "You are our supreme leader," at a victory rally held minutes after the Ron Paul News Network declared him the projected winner of the 2012 election. "From this day forth, the planet of New Texas shall be a veritable utopia for Ron Pauls of all sizes."
