Sepsis is an illness in which the body has a severe response to bacteria or other germs.
This response may be called systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The symptoms of sepsis are not caused by the germs themselves. Instead, chemicals the body releases cause the response.
A bacterial infection anywhere in the body may set off the response that leads to sepsis. Common places where an infection might start include:
- The bloodstream
- The bones (common in children)
- The bowel (usually seen with peritonitis)
- The kidneys (upper urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis)
- The lining of the brain (meningitis)
- The liver or gallbladder
- The lungs (bacterial pneumonia)
- The skin (cellulitis)
For patients in the hospital, common sites of infection include intravenous lines, surgical wounds, surgical drains, and sites of skin breakdown known as bedsores (decubitus ulcers).
In sepsis, blood pressure drops, resulting in shock. Major organs and body systems, including the kidneys, liver, lungs, and central nervous system, stop working properly because of poor blood flow.
A change in mental status and very fast breathing may be the earliest signs of sepsis.
In general, symptoms of sepsis can include:
- Chills
- Confusion or delirium
- Fever or low body temperature (hypothermia)
- Light-headedness due to low blood pressure
- Rapid heartbeat
- Shaking
- Skin rash
- Warm skin
Bruising or bleeding may also occur.
Signs and tests
A person with sepsis will look very sick.
The infection is often confirmed by a blood test. However, a blood test may not reveal infection in people who have been receiving antibiotics. Some infections that can cause sepsis cannot be diagnosed by blood tests.
Other tests that may be done include:
- Blood differential
- Blood gases
- Kidney function tests
- Platelet count and fibrin degradation products, to check for bleeding risk
- White blood cell count
If you have sepsis, you will be admitted to a hospital, usually in the intensive care unit (ICU). Antibiotics are usually given through a vein (intravenously).
Oxygen and large amounts of fluids are given through a vein. Other medical treatments include:
- Medications that increase blood pressure
- Dialysis if there is kidney failure
- A breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) if there is lung failure
Expectations (prognosis)
Sepsis is often life threatening, especially in people with a weakened immune system or a long-term (chronic) illness.
Damage caused by a drop in blood flow to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys may take time to improve. There may be long-term problems with these organs.
Not all patients survive an episode of sepsis.
The risk of sepsis can be reduced by following the recommended immunization schedule.
In the hospital, careful hand washing and proper care of urinary catheters and IV lines can help prevent infections that lead to sepsis.

Busiest Guard Dog
Eric Vetter and Bastard. IMAGE: Rob Delahanty
Half the time, it seems, Bastard tends the store. Bastard is an old, fat, knee-high, black-and-white pied terrier of uncertain provenance and gait—not much of a barker, not much of a fighter. His back end wobbles as much as his tail. He is also the de facto guard dog at Eric's Odditorium (7600 N Interstate Ave.) whenever owner Eric Vetter pops out for a business call or a drink at the nearby World Famous Kenton Club. "Back in a few," says the sign on the door, entreating would-be visitors to call Vetter's cell. He invariably arrives soon after to man the till for the store's sundry merchandise: drinking men's vintage wear, innumerable cigar boxes, bronze sabots, a '30s-era Donald Duck. In the meantime, Bastard will face you down from the door—gratefully, even. You see, Vetter, who has the manner of a pirate and the manners of a gentleman, forcibly rescued him from a house of abusive meth heads by punching one of them in the face. It's all a sort of North Portland gothic, and we've decided to really like it. MATTHEW KORFHAGE.
Most Sustainable Sushi
As nice as it is to imagine our seafood comes courtesy of a gentle old fisherman bobbing serenely on the great ocean, most of the industry is an environmental nightmare. And in a recent survey of sustainable seafood practices conducted by Fish2Fork.com, a new website designed to guide diners to sustainable seafood, sushi restaurants were the worst offenders of all, serving up endangered stock from overfished areas. Which is exactly why Bamboo Sushi (310 SE 28th Ave., 232-5255, bamboosushipdx.com) is such a local treasure—not only does the Laurelhurst-neighborhood eatery offer excellent vegan, meat and seafood rolls, but it was also ranked No. 1 in the nation for sustainability by Fish2Fork. So relax, eco-conscious Portland sushi lovers. Try the Green Machine, or the Lucky 13. Then try the Green Machine again. What is it they're putting in that Green Machine? As it turns out, the only question about Bamboo Sushi's sustainability is whether you can stop eating it. CAITLIN GIDDINGS.
Best Distiller (of Water!)
Let's be clear: Paul McGuire's stills are not for rum runners, bootleggers or other anachronistic scofflaws. Yes, his Treetop Home Distillation Systems bear a strong resemblance to the pot stills used by moonshiners in the Prohibition era, but that doesn't mean McGuire supports illegal activities like the unlicensed distillation of alcohol for human consumption. Doesn't anyone want to drink river water anymore? McGuire started Treetop last August as a way of simplifying still technology and reducing the price for curious experimenters. Inspiration came from two places: his great-grandma, a "bathtub gin lady," and his experiences transporting water crates while serving in the Air Force during Desert Storm. Now, McGuire sets up shop at events like First Thursday and skirts around the OLCC with an anti-moonshine disclaimer. Although McGuire admits some are probably buying his $100 to $140 stills to make whiskey, he says he gets more business from "doomsday survivalists" concerned about water. Last year, Treetop even passed the ultimate test with glowing, neon colors: purifying water from the Willamette River. Who needs alcohol when you can drink that? CAITLIN GIDDINGS.
Best Burgerrito
Walk into La Sirenita No. 2 in Sellwood (8029 SE 17th Ave., 234-3280) and you'll see a sparsely decorated dining room, a giant mermaid mural and a line of backlit photos of the various meals on offer suspended above the register. Let your eye drift south to the main menu, where you'll find a recently taped-on paper star with the words "California Burrito" in large type. This flavor tube is roughly the size of a bouncer's forearm and stuffed full of carne asada, french fries, guacamole and salsa. It's the approximate equivalent of a fast-food value meal wrapped in a tortilla, and is somehow able to satisfy your burger and burrito cravings in a single, habit-forming package. Try it slathered in the house green sauce. BEN BATEMAN.
Best Way to Save the World at Breakfast
When you first walk up to Solar Waffle Works (2314 NE Alberta St.), you might think you've just happened upon any old mobile grub-rustling outfit. But take a closer look. The ponytailed kid patiently grinning while you decide between the Good Gravy and Maple Bacon can't be older than 19, and is it just you or does the cook have braces? What are those gigantic panels on the cart's roof? And how come those waffles are so dang cheap ($2.50-$5)? Because this food cart not only serves tasty waffles, but is also partially solar-powered, run voluntarily by young adults in a nonprofit vocational training program for underserved youth, uses food mainly sourced within 200 miles, and is entirely dedicated to funding local education programs. Making a difference never tasted better. NATALIE BAKER.
Best (and Only) Reason to go to Gladstone
Welcome to Gladstone; now go eat some strawberries. Tebo's "world-famous strawberry shortcake" says it all. The expansive, cafeteria-style eatery (19120 SE McLoughlin Blvd., 655-6333, tebos.net) has been a staple of that nebulous land between Milwaukie and Oregon City since 1954 (when it was called Gene & Joe's). It sure feels like a trip back in time: bussers in all white, servers in red aprons, cheap pies and cakes, and a mostly antediluvian clientele who have been coming every Sunday since 1954. (Barbershop quartets are known to drop by now and then for unsolicited serenading.) Shortcake dots every diner's tray (small, $4.50; large, $5.50)—the crumbly biscuits and piles of syrupy berries in whipped cream should be shared, lest you risk a sugar coma. Slices of pie (from rhubarb to gooseberry, $3.50) beckon any anti-strawberry weirdo, and there's a host of lackluster burgers and sandwiches for the savory-toothed bores among us. But seriously—Gladstone is spilling over with strawberries. CAITLIN MCCARTHY.
Best Soft-Serve
Mike's Drive-In (1707 SE Tenino St., 236-4537; 3045 SE Harrison St., Milwaukie, 654-0131) is a paean to the roadside diners of yesteryear, and while the photos of classic cars and pinball machines are nice touches, it's the soft-serve that really sends you back. Your first lick of Mike's sweet, silky-smooth swirl instantly transports you to an age before buzzwords like "artisanal," "organic" and "hand-scooped," when there was a new machine for everything from warming your food to improving your golf game. As you cruise down the highway in your imaginary convertible with Betsy, your imaginary girl, in her suggestively ankle-length skirt, you feel a sense of purpose and progress; the future is now, and to prove it, there is a robot making your ice cream. And you know what? That ice cream tastes damn good. BEN BATEMAN.
Best L.A. Import
Los Angeles: A cancerous lesion on California's bottom, founded on a criminal disregard for water rights and sustained on a steady diet of shattered aspirations and overpriced vodka. What has L.A. ever given us? American Apparel ads, Scientology and Lakers fans. But I will say this for the City of Smog: It is the birthplace of the K-Taco, the single greatest achievement in culinary crossbreeding since the Vietnamese decided to stuff a baguette with head cheese and pickled daikon. Koji BBQ founder Roy Choi debuted his short-rib- and kimchi-stuffed tortillas at the beginning of 2009, and it took just three months for Portlander Bo Kwon to open a local imitation. Fourteen months later, Kwon is running two Koi Fusion trucks and a food-court booth at 827 SW 2nd Ave. He's even got an imitator of his own: Boolkogi Taco Korean BBQ has been pushing kimchi-stuffed tacos and burritos at Southwest 5th Avenue and Oak Street since May. BEN WATERHOUSE.
Best Aquatic Cook
Weenies on the Water. Image courtesy of Jeff Dood.
Summer boating has a lot of perks: wind whipping your hair, pretty shoreline vistas…the intoxicating scent of sautéed onions and grilled sausage. OK, you can't get that last one unless you're sailing on the Willamette River, where Portland's boaters, kayakers and stand-up paddlers are treated to the sight (and smell) of Jeff Dood's Weenies on the Water boat, which has been grilling up made-to-order dogs and burgers for ravenous river folk these past two summers. "They come once for the novelty of it," says Dood, who serves five to 10 boats per hour on a sunny weekend day, often while wearing his trademark white chef's hat. "They come back for the taste." Dood's got a gift for grilling, loading up his plump, perfectly seared weenies ("the term 'hot dog' is outlawed on the W.O.W. boat") with spicy-sweet barbecue sauce and caramelized onion chunks, or wrapping them in grilled focaccia and sprinkling them with cheddar. He's even got Spider-Man ice cream bars and Choco Tacos for the kids—all carefully handed over boat to boat with the aid of Dood's trusty PikStik.
A self-employed architect who moonlights as a musician—often drumming for Lions of Batucada—Dood spent two years and thousands of dollars customizing his floating camper boat and licensed food cart, installing red, sparkly diner booths and laying checkerboard flooring in the vessel's galley kitchen all on his own. Now, after two successful seasons on the Willamette and a few catering jobs under his belt, he's ready to branch out, with an ambitious plan to become the gourmet Ray Kroc of the water. That's right, he wants to franchise. "The Willamette could support at least two W.O.W. boats; same with the Columbia," he says, getting excited. "Then every Oregon lake, then the world!"
But until he gets a nibble from a buyer, he's content to just steer his boat closer to another waterlogged regular in need of a weenie fix. "It's tough. Out here you have to be a short-order cook and a boat captain simultaneously. Sometimes while I'm busy grilling something and I'm not anchored I end up drifting into a tree branch," Dood says. "But this happens to be the most fun job in the world, just out here floating. How many people get to spend their day on their boat?" KELLY CLARKE. Visit weeniesonthewater.com and check out the GPS W.O.W. tracker to find out where the weenie boat is headed.
Best Concert Freebie
Cloudy October is one of Portland's favorite MCs, thanks to the sick beats and Cloudy's sharp, unusual flow on his debut EP, The Aviator Is Dead. But Cloudy—born Kizzy Yokomura—has some unusual gimmicks in his corner as well. At a late-2009 show at all-ages club Satyricon, he threw plastic bottles of pear juice out to his crowd. "Many rappers are force-feeding crowds and listeners stuff that isn't very good for them," he tells WW. "I figured some well-thought-out music and healthy juice would break up the monotony." How will he top the pear juice? Yokomura says he's started giving away "even healthier gluten-free snacks" to people who buy his album. CASEY JARMAN.

Linda Wright showed up at Friday night's Vikings game with a new see-through plastic purse and refused to be turned away just because it had a zipper.
Wright, who had paid $30 for the purse on a website that said it was "NFL-approved," told a security employee that no one had mentioned that purses couldn't have zippers.
"Here's the problem," he replied, cradling the 12-inch-by-6-inch purse in his palm. "It's a purse, right? But it's bigger than a clutch."
Wright, 43, of Shoreview was among thousands of Minnesota Vikings fans who confronted new NFL restrictions on purses and backpacks as they arrived for the team's preseason opener. Some reacted with annoyance, while others were grateful. One father fumed that he couldn't bring in empty water bottles for his children, saying he couldn't afford to buy costly Metrodome beverages.
The so-called purse ban, adopted by the NFL in May after the Boston Marathon bombing, prohibits most purses, backpacks, fanny packs, briefcases, coolers, camera bags and seat cushions. It allows medically necessary items, clear plastic bags as big as a one-gallon freezer bag and clutch purses about the size of a hand.
Amid a stalemate with the security employee, Wright offered to cut off the little black loop handles on her see-through purse, but the zipper remained a problem. The attendant called in his supervisor, adding that they had run into other similar problems as fans poured through the Metrodome gates on the balmy evening.
Jeff Spoerndle, Whelan Security's director of special services, finally allowed Wright to bring her purse inside, saying similar bags would be OK on Friday evening only, as an exception, because the rule was so new.
"It's close to the required size," Spoerndle said. "We want to do our best to provide good customer service to the fans of the Minnesota Vikings."
Wright said the new rule is good but expressed exasperation that the NFL hadn't done a better job explaining ahead of time what isn't allowed.
Reaching out early
At perimeter fencing about 100 steps from the Dome, security workers turned away fans with large bags and purses before they could get to ticket gates — and that prevented long backups. The Vikings also established an emergency station where fans could check contraband bags. By 6:45 p.m., with 15 minutes to go until kickoff, only 275 items had been checked.
"That's awesome; I'm surprised myself," said Dannon Hulskotter, Vikings' director of marketing. "I'm glad the fans are getting the message."
Some fans, however, didn't want to check their banned accessories, including Lindsey Borgstrom, 24, of St. Paul. She hadn't heard about the new NFL rules and had to hike five blocks back to her car.
Among those who came prepared was season-ticket holder Ruthanne Chilson, 72, of Rush City. She and her guest left their purses behind. They and others expressed gratitude for heightened security.
"I think it's good," said Chilson, adding that the rule made her feel "as safe as you can be."
Shortly before game time, "the majority of fans seem to be aware of — and understanding of — the new NFL policy," said Jeff Anderson, communications director for the Vikings.
"Of course we have had a handful of complaints in person, but nothing out of the ordinary, and frankly less than what we expected given the significant change," Anderson said.
Anderson said Vikings officials will regroup next week to discuss how they can tweak the gameday process to make it more convenient for fans.
Needing a packhorse
Justin Ohm, a 31-year-old teacher from West St. Paul, was told at one gate that he couldn't get into the Dome with his 35mm camera in a small camera bag, so he tried another gate. Security workers there said his camera would be allowed, but not the bag.
He and his father, Ron Ohm, 57, of New Ulm, spent 20 minutes wending their way through the crowd to check the bag. But then they were nearly turned away at another gate because of the camera before a security worker waved them through.
"It seems like overkill," Ron Ohm said, noting the rule had been inconsistently enforced.
Sue Wilson, 57, of Rochester, wasn't fazed. Wearing pocketless slacks, she toted her cellphone, keys and a cough drop in a plastic bag. "It doesn't really bother me," she said.
"As long as you have a packhorse," interjected her husband, Dennis Wilson, 57, who carried her money and identification in his pockets.

I noticed that a lot of the pros use only 400 DPI mice such as the WMO and IMO 1.1a. But I wonder whether its that they are USED to playing with lower resolutions such as 640x480 and 800x600 like in the old days of Q3.
Are mice like the WMO good enough for modern day resolutions like 1920x1080 or would it result in pixel skipping and sluggishness... because apparently some pros are saying that on a modern high res set up 400 DPI can feel very odd indeed.

Studio Ronin artist Christopher Shy ("Soul Stealer") had to work to figure out the right look for "Dead Space" character John Carver. Translating Visceral Games' world into comics was a challenge for the artist who worked with writer Ian Edginton to bridge the stories between "Dead Space 2" and the upcoming "Dead Space 3" in the February 5 release, "Dead Space: Liberation" from Titan Books.
From the official synopsis:
Following the events of the smash video game hit Dead Space 2, we follow Earthgov Sergeant John Carver whose wife and son are attacked by fanatics trying to liberate the Marker site where she works. Racing to solve the clues his wife left behind, Carver teams up with Ellie Langford, survivor of an earlier Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl, and EarthGov Captain Robert Norton. Together they unlock deep secrets about the Markers in an epic adventure that will determine the fate of mankind.
Titan Books provided us with a sneak peek of "Liberation" and Shy offered his commentary on the pages. Find out more about the artist's process in bringing the horror of "Dead Space" to life on the page.

|The Game Story:
|RICHMOND -- They are not just happy to be here. Following almost a year and a half of waiting from the point of hiring head coach Dan Chemotti, the Richmond Spiders played their first Division I men's lacrosse game and competed, with a chance to win at the end. The Spiders took a halftime lead over #7 Virginia, but were outscored by one goal in a 13-12 result at Robins Stadium in front of a festive 4,249 fans. Virginia improves to 2-0 on the season, while the Spiders start 0-1. Down 2-0 in the opening period, freshman attackman Dan Ginestro (Syracuse, N.Y.) made school history with the first goal on an assist from fellow freshman Mitch Goldberg (Damascus, Md.) and the Spiders were on the board. I did the easy part, said Ginestro afterward. Mitch found me in a good spot and it went in. It was Ginestro's first shot attempt of the game. Virginia built a 5-1 lead before Richmond scored two of the last three goals of the period, with Ginestro finding the back of the net twice in the frame. Richmond scored not only the last goal of the first quarter, but the first six goals of the second to take a 9-6 lead over the ranked Cavaliers. Goldberg had a pair of goals in the second period. Virginia scored the final two goals of the second and Richmond took a 9-8 lead into the half. "I told the guys we're going to drop some balls and Virginia was going to score," said Chemotti. "I also told them that Virginia was going to drop some balls and we were going to score. They settled down and got into the game and competed." Richmond shot 16 times in the first half, scoring nine times, while the Cavs scored eight times on 20 shot attempts through the first two quarters. The Spiders played two goalies in the game, with freshman Conor Shannon (Ridgefield, Conn.) collecting nine saves in the first half on eight goals allowed. Scoring was tougher in the second half, with Virginia outpacing the Spiders 5-3 in goalscoring in the victory. Freshman Benny Pugh (Powhatan, Va./Woodberry Forest School) made five saves in his first collegiate action. Just 17 seconds into the second half, Goldberg found the back of the net for the first hat trick in team history. The Cavs scored the last three goals of the period, however, for the one-goal advantage to the fourth. Goldberg's three goals were just one short of the game-high total of four, by Virginia's James Pannell. Each team scored twice in the fourth quarter, and the Spiders had possession with 80 seconds left, but could not get a shot off for a potential game-tying goal. Seven different Spiders scored goals in this opening game of the program's history. Ginestro and midfielder Alex Hatem (Syracuse, N.Y.) had two goals each. The Spiders collected 14 saves to Virginia's five. The win in net went to freshman keeper Matt Barrett, who made five saves. Pugh took the loss (0-1). The Spiders will remain at home to host Hartford next Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Admission is free to the public. Notes: Virginia outshot the Spiders 46-24, including 26-8 in the second half ... Richmond held pace on faceoffs and clears, with each team winning 14 faceoffs and garnering 21 clears ... Each team also scored twice in extra-man opportunities ... Both teams were penalized for two minutes in a clean contest.

Vice made the web series Eye For An Eye to market Dishonored, a game about sweet, sweet revenge. As part of this marketing campaign, Vice showed documentary footage of street violence and violence prevention group CeaesFire's attempts to resolve conflicts peacefully.
The web mini-series interviewed local "violence interrupters" Tio Hardiman and Ameena Matthews while showing raw footage of their attempts to mitigate brewing street conflicts. After playing audio of off-camera gunfire at the end of a botched interruption attempt, the second part (released Monday) ended with Matthews expressing hope to Vice's film crew that their documentary would start conversations and compel people to stand up against the cycle of violence. She added, "I don't want people, America, Chicago to get desensitized...to what's not right."
As it turns out, Vice is using Chicago Interrupted to start conversations. Unfortunately, those conversations are less about Chicago violence and more about a fantasy action video game called Dishonored.
The documentary, Chicago Interrupted has since been removed from Vice's Eye For An Eye marketing web site.

The story of Kevin Durant?s signature sneaker line is often told and one that?s held true. Growing up with only three pairs of shoes as a teenager, KD has made sure that his signatures are affordable and hover right around an $88 price tag. With the Nike Zoom KD IV on the way he does have one more request though, a Foamposite version to pay tribute to his DC fans.
"I told Nike to make a Foamposite pair of the KD IV," Durant said. "Hopefully people in DC will pick them up and support me. They always do that anyway but I'm sure if I throw some Foams out there they will do it even more."
The KD IV will carry over the Zoom Air cushioning and the low-cut seen on the KD III along with adjustable midfoot straps and Thunderbolt traction. Stay tuned to see if it gets a Foamposite makeup.

Introducing JDIC
Support for all platforms? I am missing Mac OS X a bit :) Or is this a special case? The JRE is done by Apple, too.
While the APIs are designed such that they can be implemented on every platform, the Mac OS X port is not yet available. A Mac OS X port would be an ideal way to get involved with the JDIC project. Interested?
Sure interested, but time is short at the moment :( I just have time to visit this place one or two times in a month :(
Hope this is geeting better shortly.

Conditional statements are used when we want to perform an action based on a condition. For instance, I can check if it's raining to decide whether to stay home or go out.
Conditional statements have a body structure (wrapped in between curly braces {} ). PHP keywords for condional statements are if, else, else if.
Decisions in PHP take the following form:
<?php #if-statements.php
if (condition) { //Code to be executed if condition is true } else { //Alternative code }
The else part of the above is optional. A condition is an expression that can be evaluated to true or false. PHP treats 0 and the empty string as false, and everything else as true. Here is some example code:
<?php #if-statements.php
$name = "Bill"; if($name == "Bill") { echo "Hi Bill!"; } else { echo "Hello person-who-is-not-Bill"; }
IF statements can be chained together using ELSEIF :
<?php #if-statements.php
$width = 100;
$height = 20;
if($width > $height) { echo "The object is wider than it is high"; } elseif ($width == $height) { echo "The object has similar width and height"; } else { echo "The object is higher than it is wide"; }
An Example:
<?php #if-statements.php //declare a variable and assign it a value $day = "wed"; if($day == "wed") { echo "Today is wednesday"; } else { echo "Today is not wednesday... Is it thursday?"; } ?>

I can't believe I waited this long to like UGGs!
I have a confession. And it's almost embarrassing, especially because I've lived in Southern California for 23 years. I had never tried on a pair of UGG Australia Boots until last week. There. I said it.
I have a logical excuse. I truly thought the classic UGGs were ugly. Until I went to Hansen Surfboards and stepped into a pair. I really wish I hadn't done that because it started a chain reaction.
I could blame it on Hansen Surfboards because they have the largest selection of UGG boots in North County San Diego, but I won't. Truth is, I wanted to check out the selection because I do PR for Hansen Surfboards and was working on a news release about it. I certainly can't write about something I haven't tried. I get really cold in the winter and I love the idea of UGG boots but I've never liked the way they look. I've always preferred cowboy boots, being the Texas girl that I am.Read More

PAWTUCKET — Tom Sienkiewicz has been bringing his Providence Country Day basketball team to the Dennis M. Lynch Jr. Memorial Tournament for seven years without a championship – until Saturday night, that is.
"We finally got lucky," the former Villanova University guard from the early 1980s joked after his Knights rolled to a 68-48 victory over Central Falls in the championship game, ending St. Raphael Academy's three-year reign as tourney champ.
The tournament is played every year in honor of the late SRA coach Dennis Lynch Jr., whose widow Laura, son Dylan and brother Bill were among those in attendance. This was the 28th annual Lynch tourney and once again the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket played the role of perfect host.
Luck had little to do with PCD's triumph. The Knights led by seven points at halftime and opened up a 20-point lead in the second half before coasting home. Shooting guard Tom Horvat won MVP honors after knocking down 25 points in the title game.
The Knights had defeated SRA in the opening round while Central Falls edged Woonsocket. The Villa Novans came back to take third place with a 55-52 victory over the Saints in Saturday's opener.
"We step up a notch when we play in this tournament," Sienkiewicz said. His team competes in the Southeastern NE prep league. "I have some seniors who can steady our team on the floor. It means a lot to win this tournament. (SRA coach) Tom Sorrentine is one of the best coaches around. And we had our hands full with Central Falls."
The Warriors, who went winless last season, got this year off to a great start in Thursday's tourney opener with its win over Woonsocket, a Division I school. Coach Brian Crookes and his players then visited Tolman for a Division II contest on Friday night before completing their NBA-like schedule against PCD with their third game in 48 hours.
"We really didn't press too much tonight because of our schedule," Crookes admitted. "I saw a lot of positives from the kids in these three games. The effort is always there. PCD is such a good passing team and they have some shooters, too. We didn't shoot the ball very well but I thought we ran our offense and got a lot of good looks. We just have to keep improving. We play against next Friday at Cumberland and will work hard in practice to fix some things."
Julian Soares, who made the all-tourney team, led CF with 13 points. The Warriors fell behind 8-6 against PCD before going on an 8-0 run to take a 14-8 lead. Horvat then got going, hitting a jumper and a three-pointer to put the Knights back on top. Soares regained the lead for CF at 24-23 before PCD went ahead for good, taking a 36-29 lead into halftime.
After the Knights surged to a 56-35 advantage, CF made one more run, closing to 58-47 with four minutes left. Soares fouled out shortly thereafter and PCD closed the game with an 11-1 splurge.
Woonsocket and St. Raphael played a tight game in the consolation final. The game was tied at 52 with one minute left. Villa Novans center Piotr Linek blocked a shot and coach Kyle Ivey-Jones called timeout with 40 seconds left. Guard Elijah Vazquez drove the lane and dropped in a feathery shot for a 54-52 lead. The Saints rimmed out a three-pointer with three seconds left and Woonsocket guard Randy Reyes made one of two free throws to put the game on ice.
"We have three starters back from last year and seven players overall," Ivey-Jones admitted. "There is good leadership on this team. We're making smarter decisions. We boxed out a lot better today than we did against Central Falls on Thursday."
SRA coach Tom Sorrentine faces a big challenge this year, molding an inexperienced roster into the kind of smart team he likes to put on the floor. The pieces are there. Sharp-shooter Brian McParlin finished with 17 points. Chris Luciano added 12 and Graham Lynch finished with nine.
"We have 10 new players this year," Sorrentine said. "No starters back from last year. I thought we played better against Woonsocket than we did against PCD. These guys are working hard. They're at the stage where they are thinking about what to do instead of just doing it. We're still learning how to win games. It will come. We just need to keep getting better."View more articles in:

It's fashionable to be bearish these days, what with talk about elevated valuations and the near-certain end of quantitative easing in the fall.
I myself see areas of weakness, notably in enterprise-technology spending and in select stocks that have simply become way too expensive. However, one sector that seems bulletproof in the next year or so is health care.
Consumers will cut back on just about anything before they stop taking the drugs that numb their pain or the treatments that extend their lives. Even if spending takes a hit, which I don't expect, health-care stocks will hang tough.
There's also massive growth thanks to the Affordable Care Act and aging baby boomers who need more care. And outside the U.S., there's brisk growth in medical spending across emerging markets as residents win access to better care.
That combination of growth and stability is powerful. But equally compelling is that many picks also trade for bargain valuations or offer good dividends for those willing to buy and hold.
When I scan the market across these metrics, the following five picks in health care stand out:
WellPoint: Let's start with the political lightning rod of Obamacare, and the fact that WellPoint US:WLP is the insurance carrier that has enjoyed the biggest success as a result of the law.
Those who wish to freak out about death panels, please scroll down to the comments section and link to your favorite AM radio show. As for the rest of you:
According to reports, the company had 400,000 new enrollees at the end of the first quarter and had said its policies were already running at a profit. That total was estimated to have hit almost 770,000 new enrollments by midyear, far surpassing the company's target of 600,000.
This big success in winning Obamacare enrollees is surely a sign of growth to come for WellPoint. It's hard to dispute that navigating this complicated marketplace to win new business speaks highly of the management at this company and their ability to seize new opportunities.
Bigger picture, WellPoint is the second-largest health insurer in the U.S., and already had the scale to hang tough in any market. But the Obamacare momentum coupled with a return to consumer-facing marketing should help it grow even more.
Among big-name health-care stocks, WellPoint doesn't have the most attractive dividend, at only 1.5% in yield. But it only initiated a dividend in 2011, starting at 25 cents per share and quickly ramping that up to 43.75 cents. And even after that rapid dividend growth, payouts are just 20% of fiscal 2015 earnings, so expect another big dividend hike soon as earnings keep growing.
Despite a run of 22% this year, the insurer trades for just around 12 times forward earnings. That means WLP stock has great growth, value and dividend increases all in one neat package.
SPDR S&P Biotech ETF: This spring, many investors were scared out of biotech investments as the sector broke down. However, many biotech stocks have bounced back in the past few months, including the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF XBI, -2.71% which has gained 25% over 90 days.

Saint Nicholas (270–6 December 346) is the canonical and most popular name for Nikolaos of Myra, a saint and Greek, Bishop of Myra (Demre, in Lycia, part of modern-day Turkey). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker . He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose English name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas.

PMA is the most important aspect of any attractive personality; indeed, it is crucial to many of the Seventeen Principles of Success. PMA influences your tone of voice, your posture, your facial expressions. It modifies every word you say and every emotion you feel. It affects every thought you have and the results your thoughts bring you.
Being able to adapt yourself quickly to changing circumstances and emergencies without panic or loss of temper is a significant skill as you struggle toward success.
The yes-man is a universal object of derision precisely because everyone recognizes his insincerity.
The cheapest and most profitable quality in the world is courtesy.
There is a right moment and a wrong moment for everything. act is the habit of doing and saying the right thing at the right moment.
Here is a list of the most common ways people show their lack of tact:
1. Carelessness in their tone of voice, often speaking in gruff, antagonistic tones.
2. Speaking out of turn when silence would be more appropriate.
3. Interrupting others who are speaking.
4. Overworking the personal pronoun so that every sentence features the word "I."
5. Asking impertinent questions, often to impress others with their own importance.
6. Injecting intimately personal subjects into the conversations when such subjects are embarrassing to others.
7. Going where they have not been invited.
8. Boastfulness.
9. Flouting social norms in matters of attire.
10. Making calls at inconvenient hours.
11. Holding people on the telephone with needless conversations.
12. Writing letter that are overly familiar to people they hardly know.
13. Volunteering unsolicited opinions on any subject under the sun, without regard to their knowledge.

Golden Needle is made with only the newly sprouted tips. Although, Yunnan is known for its 'gold tip teas', we usually find a lot of variation in the flavor profile, depending on the specific region within Yunnan. High quality Gold tips are made in the early summer months of May and June.
The Cangyuan area in Yunnan is near the Chinese – Burma border and home to a high elevation, remotely located tea garden. Our grower has been propagating tea at this garden for about twelve years. Due to the remote location, it is usually difficult to find seasonal tea pickers and the tea plants have undertaken a slightly 'wild-grown' character, which we like. Older tea plants, produce less yield, but significantly better flavor profiles.
Flavor Profile: Warm, red apple aroma with roasted cane sugar sweetness.
Ingredients: Organic black tea leaves

"What you have to do is get them talking in such a way that they are unguarded. It could be anything they happen to be into, like their favorite baseball team or a dream they have about doing something. That's where you find out who they really are. By schmoozing in this way, I can tell whether I want someone on my staff or not!"
These words were spoken to me in great earnest several years ago by a respected camp director in the Northeast. This was his secret, if a somewhat esoteric method, for selecting his staff. Forget that he had no follow-up studies to see how the people he picked actually performed each summer; or whether they returned for an encore year. Like most people, he believed his system worked and continued to "collect circumstantial evidence" to support his conviction.
Since then, I have encountered many directors who have their favorite interview questions for determining which candidates will become solid staff members during the summer. "If you could have dinner with anyone from any time in history, who would it be and why?"; "What is your greatest ambition in life?"; "What makes you want to work with children?"; and "What's the last book you've read?"
As colorful as these questions are, the truth is they have no predictive value when it comes to choosing effective staff members for summer camp. Who you might want to take to dinner or what book you've read tells us nothing about how patient you will be with campers, how able you will be to keep things interesting at camp, or how hard you will work long into the season.
The Disney Experience
Years ago the human resources folks at Walt Disney World, employer to literally thousands of people who run their concessions, hotels, restaurants, transport systems, and all the supportive services that go into making Walt Disney World operate smoothly, began looking for ways to select employees they could depend on to perform at a high level. Given the sheer numbers of people needed to run Walt Disney World, it simply wasn't efficient to hire people who turned out to perform poorly. They needed an effective way to identify strong performers and weed out people who simply didn't operate at a level Disney needed to make the park a model in the recreation service industry. To help them with this task, the Disney folks turned to the Lou Harris Company in St. Louis—creators of the famous Harris Poll.
What the Harris people did was straightforward: they simply identified the best performers in each category of a job—hotel housekeeper, park attendant, bus driver, cook, etc.—and then catalogued the competencies or abilities those high performers exhibited. In other words, the question was: "What is it these strong performers do that makes them so exceptional?"
Once they had identified these abilities, they devised questions to test for the presence of those competencies in prospective employees in their past experience.
So what if camp professionals could identify the competencies of their best counselors—their stand-out, noticeably best performers—and develop a set of questions to test for the presence of those competencies or abilities in the past experience of prospective staff members? That is exactly what was done about eight years ago with a small group of independent camps and a professional selection company called Personnel Decisions International (PDI). I helped arrange the project and oversaw each part of its development.
Although the specifics of the project are proprietary, the basic approach, something called "competency-based interviewing," also known as "behaviorally-based interviewing," is a widely practiced selection style that no one owns. The basic premise follows exactly what the Harris people did for Disney—identify the best counselors; catalogue their behaviors; summarize those behaviors into "competencies"—and then develop interview questions to detect whether candidates have demonstrated any of these competencies in their past behavior.
The Ditter Approach
The Short List of Essentials
Specific Questions
Other Aspects of the Interview
Here are some other pointers:
Interview Steps
Step One: Joining
After a short exploration of these questions, give out some specific information about your camp program, like dates, essential responsibilities, and so on, so you can check quickly to see if there is a "fit." If the dates don't work or the program you describe does not work for them, you save yourself the time and bother of going through the entire protocol.
When you give out this information, take time to give a thumbnail sketch of the kids you serve and the daily routine, as well as some details of the job. For example, are you a coed program? Do you have a religious affiliation? Do you observe any particular religious rituals? What is the rest of the staff (I include volunteers in this) typically like? What are the hours of duty, time off, etc.?
Talk a little about the primary roles and responsibilities of staff and volunteers—a description of what people will be expected to do, such as the following: wake kids up; get them to meals and activities on time; help them clean up; make them feel part of the group; resolve conflicts; help them make friends; be on your feet all day; anticipate problems before they happen; recognize the sick, sad, or self-conscious child, and so on.
From this concise but somewhat detailed description, you immediately ascertain whether people are available during the dates of camp, whether they still want to make the commitment, whether what you describe sounds like what they imagined, and so on. It is wise to have this be a uniform description given out by each interviewer. Get it standardized and rehearsed!
Another objective of this first part of the interview is to establish whether the candidate has any preconceived ideas, feelings, or expectations about camp that might affect his or her performance. Remember that candidates can just as easily have unrealistically high expectations about camp as they can have a bad taste in their mouth from a prior experience. If you hear about a past camp experience that was negative, it is important to master the use of probing or follow-up questions, such as:
Step Two: The Set-Up
Another less honest approach is to thank the candidate for his or her time (now about fifteen minutes) and say that there are many other people you need to interview and that you will get back to him or her within a week to ten days. This approach works only if you actually send out a letter saying that you are sorry, but that all the positions for which the candidate was qualified are full. Why bother? The more bad feeling you spread, the more it comes back to haunt you.
Once you decide to go ahead with the interview, you need to prepare the candidate for the competency-based questions to follow. Announce that you have a series of questions that are about the candidate's experience. There are no right or wrong answers, and many people need to take a few minutes to think about their experience before they answer, and that's okay. Also mention that you will be taking a few notes as you go along to help you remember what the person says. Reassure your candidate that he or she will have time at the end of the process to ask questions about camp and the position for which the candidate is applying. Then you are ready to move ahead!
Step Three: Competency-Based Questions
Step Four: The Close
This is also a time to allow your candidate to ask you any questions she may have about camp, the campers, the program, and so on. Don't hire someone you don't feel good about. My experience is that you will regret it later in the season.
The ideas and techniques I have outlined here are certainly not as colorful or "interesting" as the kinds of clever, creative questions many directors have used over the years to screen staff. So if you are looking to add "character" and "color" to your selection process, the "whom-would-you-take-to-dinner" questions are truly the way to go. However, if you want to hire a staff with a strong work ethic—one that is able to put the needs of campers ahead of their own and is willing to stand up for things they believe in—you might want to opt for science. It may not be as lively an experience during the interview, but it may just lead to a more dedicated, stable, and committed staff during the summer!
