Feb. 18, 2013
DeKALB, Ill. - Northern Illinois Head Coach Rod Carey completed his coaching staff for 2013 on Monday with the hiring of Kelvin Sigler, a former head coach at Blount High School in Mobile, Ala. who spent the 2012 season as a member of the University of Alabama football staff, as the Huskies' new cornerbacks coach.
Sigler is the last of five new assistants to join the Huskie coaching staff for 2013. A defensive back at Alabama from 1995-98, Sigler returned to his alma mater for the 2012 season as a defensive analyst for the national championship winning Crimson Tide.
He went to Alabama after four seasons as head coach at Blount High School in Mobile, Ala., where he compiled a 27-18 record and led the Leopards to four straight playoff berths. In 2011, Blount went 10-2 and advanced to the second round of the Class 6A Playoffs in Sigler's final season as head coach to post the school's first 10-win season since 1998.
Prior to taking over as head coach at Blount High School, Sigler served as defensive coordinator at Bob Jones High School in Madison, Ala. from 2004-08, and as an assistant coach and head track and field coach at Greensboro (Ala.) High School from 2002-04. Seven of Sigler's high school defensive backs earned college football scholarships.
Carey said Sigler's prep coaching background has helped make him an excellent coach.
"We're thrilled to have Kelvin on board," Carey said. "From his background as a successful high school coach down in Mobile, he obviously knows how to motivate kids and is a great teacher of the game. Of course he spent this past year with Alabama which is an elite program. We're excited to have Kelvin and his wife and family as part of the Huskie family."
In four seasons as a defensive back at Alabama, Sigler made six career interceptions and led the team in tackles his junior season. He was selected as one of five permanent team captains in 1998.
"In coming here and meeting the coaches, and sitting down and talking to Coach Carey one on one, I could tell that the coaches have a passion for what they're doing and that there is a family atmosphere surrounding the football program that my family and I can be a part of," Sigler said. "NIU is coming off a great season with the Orange Bowl and their second MAC Championship so this is a great chance to be a part of something special. I'm excited to have a chance to continue that success."
With Sigler on board and the hiring process for all of the assistant coaches complete, Carey said he can now turn his full attention toward the 2013 season.
"I said at the beginning of the process that I was determined to get the best group of people, the best teachers and the best football coaches I could and we've accomplished that with Kelvin completing the group," Carey said. "Next season is already underway and Kelvin gives us the last piece so we can move full-speed into next year."
Northern Illinois opens spring practices on March 20 at Huskie Stadium with the spring game scheduled for April 13. Complete information on 2013 season tickets, including pricing and deadlines, will be available in the coming weeks and renewal packets distributed at the 2013 HASF Kickoff on March 2 at the Convocation Center. Details on that event will be released later this week.

A growing need
In the United States, the disease of infertility is on the rise. 1 in 6 families will be diagnosed at some point during their childbearing years. Although insurance can help defray some of the cost, procedures remain expensive. For those whose infertility treatment is not successful, the decision to choose domestic adoption as the way to build their family is not easy after enduring an exhaustive emotional and financial journey. Indeed, it is nationally recognized that 75% of the families that begin the adoption process get discouraged by the lack of emotional and financial support.
Until the establishment of Noah Z.M. Goetz Foundation in 2011, there was no existing nonprofit resource in North Carolina providing independent, one-on-one training about the domestic adoption process and financial support specifically for those who have been treated for infertility.
Meeting the need
Noah Z.M. Goetz Foundation operates an education and grant program, both of which focus solely upon the bridge between our client's decision to end infertility treatment and to subsequently undertake and successfully complete the domestic adoption process.
Achieving results
As of May 2016, the Foundation's programs have achieved the following results:
- 17 families that had previously battled infertility have successfully completed the adoption of their child; and,
- 12 families are currently active with adoption service providers and are waiting to be matched.
The Foundation achieved these results by:
- Administering our education module, Domestic Adoption 101, to 77 families so they may learn initial information about the domestic adoption process to determine if they wish to pursue adoption as the way to build their family;
- Administering our education module, Domestic Adoption 102, to 28 families so they may learn how to successfully navigate the domestic adoption process and realize their dream of parenthood;
- Awarding 13 grants, easing the burden of the recipients' adoption-related expenses and bringing them added peace of mind during their domestic adoption process; and,
- Serving as a trusted continuum of care for 53 patients referred to us by our Clinical Partners.

PESWiki.com -- Pure Energy Systems Wiki: Finding and Facilitating the Best Exotic Free Energy Technologies
From PESWiki
- Update, September 2012: I called the Methernitha commune about coming for a visit, and learned that 1) the inventor passed away a couple of years ago, 2) no one at the commune is continuing with the technology, 3) they don't know who has knowledge about how the system works. They didn't seem interested in propagating it in any way. -- Sterling D. Allan
The Testatika is an electromagnetic/electrostatic generator based on the 1989 Pidgeon electrostatic machine which includes an inductance circuit, a capacitance circuit, and a thermionic rectification valve. Allegedly a free energy machine that harnesses energy from the aether, the Testatika resembles in some respects a Wimshurst machine. It was built by German engineer, Paul Suisse Baumann, and promoted by a Swiss religious community, the Methernithans. Baumann has claimed that the concepts for the machines came to him via visitors from outer space while he was in a Swiss jail during the 1970's on child abuse charges related to a religious cult that he had founded. The Testatika is also known as the Swiss M-L converter or Thesta-Distatica.
Testatika description
The machine's operation has been recorded for several decades, reportedly. Operating Testatika devices were recorded in the 1960s at a place called Methernitha (near Berne, Switzerland). The specific and precise working principles in the Testatika are unknown. From various sources, Testatika reportedly ultilizes design features of the electrostatic Pidgeon machine. The Testatika seems to possess an inductance circuit, a capacitance circuit, and a thermionic rectification valve. Devices heretofore seen have not used semiconductors or transistors. The entire circuit has been divided in two parts:
- An electrostatic generator; and,
- An auxiliary circuits (inductances, capacitances, and rectification)
- Testatika Machine Video - The Methernitha commune claims to have invented a machine that produces three to four kilowatts of DC continuously from the static electricity in the air, depending on its dryness. Sepp Hasslberger provides an English transcription for their video.

Methernithan's electrostatic generator
Back-Engineering the Swiss Methernitha group's Testatika, the Wimshurst machine comes to mind immediately. Of the electrostatic machines developed in the last few hundred of years, the 1898 Pidgeon machine is the closest electrical circuit that matches the Testatika. From the basic Pidgeon system, modifications are indicated to boost, stabilize, and fix charge polarities at certain spots in the machine. The Wommelsdorf multi-disc condenser machine also have facets applicable to the Testatika.
The 1898 Pidgeon machine setup (apparent from the position of the neutralizing rods and how the charges are accumulated; the fixed inductors are positioned in such a way that there is a increased induction effect) and charges parallel pads via air gaps. The Testatika has 50 'gitter-grilles' per disc. These steel grilles are an innovation incorporated into electrostatic machines. The principle is from previous investigation and patents of electrical circuits inwhich the sectors are corrugated. Such corrugated electrostatic sectors are more efficient charge carriers in comparison of flat sectors. The discs transceive charges from the rotating discs to the collectors (or "tasten" antennae keys). The perforated key pads replace the standard brushes or pointed rails of historic electrostatic machines. The collectors do not touch the discs, the charge passes through a parallel air gap from the metal gitter-grilles to the pads. The air gap is, during operation, exposed to miniature eddy-currents that circulate around the perforated surface. This process is refered to as variable capacitance electrostatic generation. Testatika, in contrast to the Pidgeon system, has an additional indirectly coupled collector at the front disc in the front top center.
The disks have a rotational speed of just 60 rpm (varying to 15 rpm). Each disk is in close proximity. The front clear perspex disc ('cloud' disc; positive charge) and the back dark disc ('ground' disc; negative charge) corresponds to the triboelectric series. The discs may also be doped with paramagnetic particles. Testatika's neutralising rods are placed so that the charges induced from one area and accumulated elsewhere. The neutralizing rods equalize and stabilize the charges of opposite signs. Testatika's neutralising rods give the machine correct distributed charge polarity at specific areas.
Swiss M-L auxiliary circuits
There has been many a dubious claims and misinformation that the particular service of radioactive materials is implemented to achieve its pulsed output. various experts on the machine are not in the opinion that is the case. The auxiliary electromagnetic circuit near the electrostatic generator it is believed to represent the circuit to achieve this.
The Testatika converts static energy into an electromotive force by means of its oscillation circuit and valve rectifiers. Electric current oscillations is controlled by coupling a thermionic rectifier valve, cylinders capacitors, and natural resistance. As the electromagnetic circuit oscillates, the oscillations are modulated through transformers and, ultimately, rectified into DC pulses. Hermann Plauson, the Estonian inventor, describes such methods to convert static power. Testatika's thermionic rectifying valve has an anode mesh-plate, a coiled copper grid, a glowing (heated) cathode wire running horizontally across its centre, and the associated wires.
The horseshoe magnet contain four blocks of plexiglass-type media (p) alternated with copper (c) and aluminium (a) plates (in the series, c-p-a-c-p-a). It is unknown if these are perforated. This phenomenon is related to variable capacitance generation and dielectric absorpsion. Two horseshoe magnets with metalised-perspex laminated blocks alternated with copper and aluminium plates form, what various sources call, "electron cascade generators". The electron cascade (or avalanche effect) is a chain reaction forming 'free electrons'. Insulated wire is also wound around the horseshoe magnets (which may also be in a bifilar configuration) for induction purposes.
Two outside cylinders (with up to 20 concentric layers of perforated sheet) are utilized and the connection of each separate secondary winding may be based on the "disruptive discharge coil" devised by Nikola Tesla. The cylinders, at the sides, act partially as capacitors. This concentric condenser configuration develops a pulse forming network. Each cylinder has a core of 6 hollow donut-ring anisotropic ferrite magnets with plastic spacers for air gaps to form a transformer, also. A central input rod (or tube) connects at the bottom to a stack of inter-linked pancake coils (wound with the secondary outside and the primary inside). One transformer is wired to output negative and the other transformer is wired to output positive polarity with respect to magnetic reluctance gaps. Each is connected from the pancake coil secondaries to a brass ring via a brass screw terminal. The use of aluminium shielding mesh and solid copper shielding sheets are used to minimize stray electrostatic charges.
Two chokes assemblies are in the upright double glass tubes possessing spirally turned aluminium strip (with electrostatic shields). The tubes are two-thirds the tower height. The glass tube are terminated at the top with right-angled brass rods connecting with the rectifier. The wooden base has alternate layering of perforated metal plates and insulating plates forming a storage capacitor.
Ken Shoulder's Input
On May 21, 2007, Adrian Akau wrote:
According to Ken Shoulder's work on charge-cluster technology, EV's (Electrum Validum from the Greek elektron for electronic charge and from the Latin valere meaning to have power, to be strong and having the ability to unite) or charges clusterd in bundles under low power conditions act completely different than electrons. Ken uses only a few microjoules yet he can produce charge-cluster holes of about 25,000 degrees C (photograph pg.222 of Turning the Corner). In the case of the Testakica, the holes in the disk may have a similar function to Ken's method which uses only one hole (Patent #5054046). The Testatika holes produce EV's but may be of a less concentrated nature and of a lower energy level than the ones produced by Ken (Turning The Corner: Energy Solutions for the Twenty-first Century by the Alternative Energy Institute, Inc. www.altenergy.org, Mark McLaughlin, Lead Writer/Researcher P.O. Box 483 Carnelian Bay CA 96140, phone 530-546-5612, pages 282, 283).
Ken discovered (1980) that electrons clustered into very dense structures resembling miniature ball lightning. They were packed as tightly as atoms in a solid and yet did not repel each other as expected under normal laws of repulsion. From his patent #5018180 "Energy Conversion Using High Charge Density", he said :
"An EV passing along a traveling wave device may be both absorbing and emitting electrons. In this way, the EV may be considered as being continually formed as it propagates. In any event, energy is provided to the traveling wave output conductor and the ultimate source of this energy appears to be the zero-point radiation of the vacuum continuum" (pages 223, 224 of Turning The Corner).
We know, according to Henry A. Rowland in the article below, that charged particles passing through a magnetic field effect the field. Any type of EV's may have an even greater effect.
What seems to be happening is that small amounts of energy are used to form EV's. Then the EV's act strongly on the magnetic field to produce a current. The energy in the current produced is apparently more than the amount needed to form the EV's so part of the energy is recylcled back to keep the system running (the motor coil running the disks is wound of thin wires which suggests a high voltage and low current). One might surmise that some of the energy in the formation of the EV's is converted from the "vacuum" itself. To some degree, this is evident since the Testakica continues its motion with no apparent source of power.
Operation and ultilization
According to various sources, the Testatika first oscillates and then rectifies generated power as an RLC circuit. The electrical oscillations are made by the generator components. The electrical oscillations (AC) are turned into continuous current (DC) by the rectification. Replicated devices were hand started and, then, powered directly from the device's generated electricity. By this description (and without further components), a Testatika would be a perpetual motion machine.
No scientific investigation of these claims have been reported. Supposedly, the community is conducting perpetual motion research. Claims over copying the machine and replicating its operations have not been verified. Some claim that attempts to copy the machine produced a non working result. A Testatika device was demonstrated to over 30 technicians and engineers shortly before August 4, 1999[1]. Researchers skeptical about the Testatika, said by some to be a free energy source, have not been allowed to perform verifiable measurements of the device.
On July 15, 2006, New Energy Congress member, Ken Rauen said:
- "Note it is speculation. No data about the Testatica machine has ever been verified. The Methernita community does not allow anyone to investigate it or even see it."
Speculation via theoretical logical, deductive thought through contemplative and practical experience has led some to expound on how the device is built and operated. Certain construction elements belie the reliqance on some of the early main electronics development eras: the 1900s and the 1920s. The 1900s saw the rise of radio transmitters and receivers with Nikola Tesla's resonating circuits and oscillators. The 1920s current oscillations were advance to rectifier valves, capacitors, and resistors. Also in the 1920s, Hermann Plauson patented methods to convert static power into usable power via rotary influence machines.

If you go to Nestles' website you can order Boost protien drinks that are pretty good; these helped me a lot. I have not had problems with eating eggs as long as I scrabble them and cooked them in the microwave (no oil or frying).

Hi LuAnn
Food is a very individual with Pancreatitis. Some people can tolerate things that others can not. I can eat eggs with no problem, but others can't. It pays to keep a food diary to figure out which food give you pain and which don't. Other sources of protein are skinless chicken, low-fat cottage cheese and bean, lentils etc. Red meat is really hard for the pancreas to digest. Just keep to a low fat, moderate protein and high carb diet. Try to eat six small meals a day and opposed to three big meals. Large meals are really hard on the pancreas.
I hope this has been a little helpful.

Thank you so much for the information. I wondered about Boost or Ensure. Right now I am having a lot of pain so I am sticking to broth and jello. I hope the pain will settle down. I am suppose to have an ERCP Jan 7th. I'm kind of scared mostly not knowing what to expect and seeing that sometimes it causes pancreatitis! :(
Hope you are having a pain free day!!

Kirstie, Thank you for your kind answer. I am so new to this and am in pain right now. I am so afraid to eat the wrong thing but since I am in pretty much pain I imagine I should stay with broth, jello and white rice.I may try and egg since 2 of you had reccomended them but I am goning to waite a while. I really have very little appetite and that makes it hard to eat period but I see that several small meals are important. What carbs do you eat? Thanks for your help. I'm just a little overwhelmed since 2 weeks ago I was eating anything I wanted. This just happened so quickly. Is that usual or do you know??

@LuAnnK: I am in a similar position. Till last week, I could eat anything. Now it is a new beginning! It appears that the the best approach is to minimize stress on the pancreas. This means, low fat and low sugar diet. Avoid processed foods. No cheese, sweets or heavy carb loads such as pasta. Try cooked fresh veggies (Kale, squash, carrots etc.) in soups and stews. Absolutely No alcohol.
Some studies have touted the benefits of antioxidants. . If you have a local co-op or whole-foods store, check out their supplements section. Many Traditional Chinese and Indian (Ayurvedic) herbs are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties (e.g. ginger, turmeric).
Also, as it has been pointed out, frequent smaller meals as opposed to larger fewer meals might also put less stress on the pancreas. Some people are also taking digestive enzyme supplements to reduce pancreatic stress.
All the best.

Hello LuAnneK! Welcome to this forum. I have Chronic Pancreatitis due to my second ERCP last October 8, 2008. I was in the hospital also for 10 days at that time and they did not allow me to eat beacause my pancreas was swollen. 2009 was not my good year because I could hardly eat anything. Now, this year is better with the help of the enzyme CREON 24000, 2-3 with meals and 1 for snacks. I think you better off of eating chicken/beef broth, jello, boost (that was I'm drinking when I lost so much weight) ensure or any bland food that will not trigger pain. Keep on reading on this forum so that you can get more ideas also from the people who have different experienced in pancreatitis, wether it is acute or chronic or even just flare ups. Take care and I hope your ERCP in January will turn out good!

Taking Your Business Online Using QR Codes
Let's start with why you might want to do that in the first place. Simply put, tons of people are opting out of print and into online media. Does this spell the end of printing? In my opinion, it does not. But what it does mean, as I see it, is that there are new ways of marketing a brand and companies want to learn more about them.
At the recent graphic arts trade show—Graphics of the Americas held this past month in Orlando, FL—a printer told me he was going to sit the new media tools out until it was obvious who the winners would be. We were in a crowded space with lots of people around, so I did not feel comfortable saying much in response other than, "You may want to rethink that idea."
The problem with sitting on the sidelines is the parade goes by without you. The reaction wasn't noteworthy, but what is of note is how fast things have changed in just the past 24 months. The advent of QR codes, for instance, is a great example of one such new marketing phenomenon.
QR Codes: What are they?
QR Codes are those funny looking squares that you see popping up on direct mail pieces, packaging like in the picture above, posters at business conferences and a host of other marketing applications. If you are a printer who has been watching this newer technology progress and hasn't joined in, you may be missing out on an excellent way to build your company's overall brand awareness. In Japan and Europe, by the way, QR codes are already quite common.
They are now becoming more popular in the U.S. in various print marketing applications. They're simple to use with a camera phone that has the ability to scan the QR tags via a downloaded app that is installed on a smart phone. When a snapshot is taken, it triggers a Web page to open in the phone's browser and display the creator's contact information, marketing messages, etc.

Tallahassee, FL -- September 2, 2011, Lee Williams rushes for a touchdown at Bragg Memorial Stadium. The Marauders lost that game to FAMU 48-21 but it will not be his last time playing in that stadium.
"The feeling of staying in town and being around family and not being able to move far away because I might get a little bit homesick."
The speedster they've nicknamed lightning has given his verbal commit to play football at Florida A&M. Come signing day he will become the first Marauder to sign a football scholarship with a four year school.
Lee adds, "I always looked on TV and didn't really know what college football was and now it's an honor and really a blessing for me to be able to play college football."
"That says a lot for Lee to be the first athlete, first football athlete to commit to a four-year school. Hopefully it's the first of many names to come from Maclay."
Lee has also put his speed to good use for Maclay's track team. He won state titles last year in the 100 meter, 200 meter, and triple jump.
Lee adds, "For me, it's football works out with track and track works out with football."
Which was one of the main draws for him to FAMU. He will be able to suit up for both the football and track teams.
He'll have two platforms to shine at for the Rattlers over the coming years.

Search the Internet for Google Privacy Policy and you will get 980,000,000 million hits in 0.11 seconds, roughly one billion in one-tenth of a second — the number will balloon faster than Google revenue in the coming month as the rebellion of the web giant's new "privacy policy" builds.
this means for you is that data from the things you search for, the emails you
send, the places you look up on Google Maps, the videos you watch in YouTube,
the discussions you have on Google+ will all be collected in one place," according to Gizmodo which boasts 346,707 Facebook users "like this."
seems like it will particularly affect Android users, whose real-time location
(if they are Latitude users), Google Wallet data and much more will be up for
grabs. And if you have signed up for Google+, odds are the company even knows
your real name…
"So why are we calling this evil? Because Google changed the
rules that it defined itself. Google built its reputation, and its
multi-billion dollar business, on the promise of its "don't be evil"
philosophy. That's been largely interpreted as meaning that Google will always
put its users first, an interpretation that Google has cultivated and
encouraged. Google has built a very lucrative company on the reputation of user
respect. It has made billions of dollars in that effort to get us all under its
feel-good tent. And now it's pulling the stakes out, collapsing it. It gives
you a few weeks to pull your data out, using its data-liberation service, but
if you want to use Google services, you have to agree to these rules."
From the sound of that and the uproar in so many circles you would expect an assault on Google that would even far greater intensity than the public reaction that stopped Netflix in its goofball idea of splitting its services of mailing discs and streaming video online into different businesses to jack up revenue or Bank of America's despicable effort to charge five bucks a month to use your debit card to spend your own money.
But the Google farce is a totally different story over at the most of the MSM where Forbes.com's Kashmir Hill for instance scoffs at the "Internet Freak-out over Google's New Private Policy" and asserts it's "actually it's not" a policy shift at all but merely a consolidation of its more than 70 privacy policies into one to better mine all the data we give them from all the platforms we use of Google's to enhance our Internet experience.
"When Google starts bundling everything it knows about
its users and selling that to insurance companies, background check companies,
and the Department of Homeland Security, that's when I'll trot out the "evil
label," she writes. "But using information from Gmail to suggest more appropriate YouTube
videos or reminding an Android smartphone user that they have a Google calendar
appointment in a half hour on the other side of town doesn't strike me as the
work of Lucifer."
All this over a blog post from emanating from uber-billionaires Larry Page's and Sergey Brin's company saying, "ur new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if
you're signed in, we may combine information you've provided from one service
with information from other services. In short, we'll treat you as a single
user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google
In this case, both sides of the discussion are probably right.
Google isn't the most spectacular success in human history for an oddball idea of two strange guys; it's a giant corporation. It pleases shareholders, and makes its executives fabulously rich. It much grow and grow and grow until it rules the world so it has to do what successful businesses do: It has to please you and me the customer by using everything it knows about us to provide the produce we want — or what it's algorithms say we want.
And over time, there will be situations where in the need for increased revenue it sells us out to the highest bidder without having to ask our permission for how our the information in our email, our contacts, our phones, our Youtube and Picasa accounts and everything that can be extrapolated about us is used — because they announced their consolidated one-stop invasion of our privacy.
It's the same with President Obama and Congress enacting the National Defense Authorization Act allowing for the indefinite detention without charge of American citizens as if if they were the enemy combatants locked up at Guantanamo for the last 10 years.
Wake up, all you people out there. You live in a fishbowl. There is no privacy. There are no privacy rights. Read the Constitution, privacy isn't mentioned because it was not a question before and exists as nothing but a fragile and vague common law protection.
Everything you do can online, on your cell phone, on cameras captured on every corner and every shop can be stored and retrieved for next to nothing.
"It is now,
for example, possible to store everything that someone says on a telephone for
a year for about 17 cents," the Brookings Institution's John Villasenor told NPR's Rachel Martin on Weekend Edition Sunday ."So, as these storage costs plummet, it all of the
sudden becomes possible to actually archive it all. And that's what's changing.
We're crossing these thresholds now and in the coming couple of years."
Dictatorial nation's like Syria can store everything about everyone in the country for a year for the deflated cost of a house on the San Fernando Valley.
Local police agencies are installing powerful computers with access to top secret databases in every cop car which soon will be equipped fingerprinting scanners and with video cameras pointing in all directions and the ability to conduct surveillance on anyone from afar by watching the ubiquitous spy-cams everywhere.
HD cameras on police planes and helicopters has take crystal clear pictures of you from 1,000 feet and detect a warm gun in the trunk of your car.
If you got a bank account or credit cards, a cell phone or use the interest, a driver's license or pay taxes — they can know anything and everything about you if they want to or soon will be able to — unless you are an illegal immigrant who doesn't exist anywhere in the system. No identity. No photo. No fingerprint, Nothing.
Personally, I've lived without fear about the totalitarian controls on us since 1965 when the head of the police intelligence unit in Cleveland where I got my start as a police reporter told me I'd been under surveillance for months and showed me photos the FBI had given him of a violent anti-war protester who looked like me.
They had finally determined it wasn't me. When I asked if he had photos of the civil rights marches I participated in as a college students a couple of years earlier, he pulled out the photos of this bearded youth with a placard saying, "Stop the Violence."
"That is you," he said, with a laugh. "Big Brother is watching."

A female security guard from the Ohio Valley Mall in St. Clairsville and a female onlooker engage in a fight while observing the scene of a tractor trailer crash near the mall on Thursday. Details regarding the fray between the two women were not available today. View additional photos at cu.news-register.net.
Officials from the Patrol, Cumberland Trail Fire Department, Ohio Department of Transportation and a towing service arrived on-scene. Following the accident, traffic was reduced to a single lane on I-70's eastbound side until 2 a.m. today when the site was cleared.
The accident is under investigation.
At the time of the crash, onlookers at the nearby Ohio Valley Mall gathered in the parking lot where a fight broke out between a mall security guard and woman onlooker.
According to Joe Bell with the Cafaro Co. which operates the mall, a woman was taking pictures of the accident on the mall property, which is against mall policy. She was asked by the security guard to desist when the two scuffled.

Nursing home appeal going before high court
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Attorneys representing a Charleston nursing home will ask state Supreme Court justices to throw out a $90 million jury verdict awarded to the family of an elderly woman who said nursing home workers indirectly caused the woman's death.
In 2011, after a trial that lasted nearly two weeks in front of Kanawha Circuit Judge Paul Zakaib, jurors found that Heartland of Charleston failed to feed and care for Dorothy Douglas, who stayed at the home for about three weeks.
Eighteen days after her release from Heartland, Douglas died at age 87. Her son, Tom Douglas, who filed the lawsuit claimed Heartland failed to feed and care for the woman and that she died of complications from dehydration.
Arguments are scheduled Wednesday in Heartland of Charleston's appeal. Attorneys for the nursing home say all of the claims made against the nursing home and its employees should be subject to the state's medical malpractice caps.
Lawmakers instituted West Virginia's Medical Professional Liability Act to prevent plaintiffs in lawsuits alleging medical malpractice from recovering more than $500,000 in noneconomic damages.
Zakaib reduced the jury's $91.5 million award to about $90.5 million, noting that a small portion of the verdict should be subject to the medical malpractice cap.
The jury in Douglas' case classified only a small portion of the home's negligence as "medical." Douglas' lawyers argued that the woman died because nursing home staff failed to give her food and water, which don't require a medical degree to dole out.
The cap law also requires juries to determine the extent of medical negligence that occurred versus ordinary negligence. They found that the nursing home was 80 percent at fault in ordinary negligence and 20 percent at fault in medical negligence. Douglas' lawyers argued throughout the trial that Dorothy's death was caused by Manor Care Inc. executives' repeated failure to keep their nursing homes properly staffed.
Brian Glasser, who represents Heartland and its parent company Manor Care, has said the cap statute broadly defines a nursing home as a health-care facility, and any negligence from workers in such a facility is defined as medical negligence.
Douglas' lawyers claim that nurse aides are not necessarily considered "health care providers" under the caps' definition.
If the justices find that the caps apply, Douglas' nearly $100 million verdict may be reduced to $500,000 in noneconomic damages, which include pain and suffering and punitive damages that make up the bulk of Douglas' award.
"The $80 million punitive damages award should be vacated or, at a minimum, substantially reduced," attorneys for the nursing home wrote in their appeal.
The jury awarded plaintiffs $1.5 million for violations of the West Virginia Nursing Home Act, $4.5 million for noneconomic damages and $5 million for breach of fiduciary duty.
Attorneys for the nursing home will also argue the verdict form the jury used during the trial was flawed and, among other things, didn't specify damages for each defendant named in the suit. Instead, the form lumped them together, denying their rights to separate determination of liability.
Another issue being raised on appeal is that jurors were allowed to consider evidence of Manor Care's wealth, which was improper, according to attorneys for the nursing home.
The verdict form also directed jurors to give a $5 million award to Douglas' sister Carolyn Douglas Hoy, who wasn't named as a party in the lawsuit.

Lauren Conrad Blames Voice Change On Los Angeles Clubs
June 13, 2013 11:21 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
The Hills and Laguna Beach were responsible for launching a number of major changes in the life of Lauren Conrad — perhaps most significantly, turning a partier into a reality star. But according to Lauren, there have been a few downsides to the whole experience. The celeb says her voice has experienced a drastic alteration, all thanks to the massive amounts of time she spent partying in Los Angeles.
We're sure you're just dying to know why Lauren Conrad's voice has changed so much since her early days on Laguna Beach. That is, assuming you've even noticed the difference in her voice. But according to Lauren, it is a noticeable change and it is worthy of our attention. During a recent interview with Marie Claire, the celeb explained that the altered sound of her voice was more than enough to convince her that being finished with reality television is a good thing. "I destroyed my voice when I moved to L.A. There are polyps all over my vocal chords because I was in a lot of loud places. If you listen to the first episode of Laguna, my voice is completely different."
So, now that she's decided to give her vocal chords a break, how is Lauren keeping busy? The reality star has been spending a fair amount of time with her boyfriend William Tell. Lauren feels that the relationship has really helped her become a better person — and that his background doesn't hurt! "He is very good for me because we have a lot in common as far as where we grew up. It's the first time I'm with someone and I'm not explaining things. He also has experience in the entertainment industry, so he understands a lot of things that people don't always get."
Ruined voice or not, it's nice to see Lauren Conrad settling into a quieter and more comfortable life. Who knew it was possible?

In the summer of 2009, Bristol saw a remarkable phenomenon that made international news. An estimated 300,000 people queued for hours, often in pouring rain, for admission to the city's museum and art gallery having been attracted by the media hype surrounding an exhibition ambiguously entitled, Banksy vs the Bristol Museum.
This illustrated talk will raise a number of questions:
Is Banksy a subversive influence or merely a bit of fun?
Why is Banksy so important to Bristol?
Paul Gough has compiled a book about the Banksy show; it is the first non-partisan documentation of the Bristol event and an attempt to assess its local and wider impact.

The musical career of Robin Lynn Macy started before the Dixie Chicks (with the group Danger in the Air), and continued after she left the group in 1992. After the Domestic Science Club broke up, Robin returned to her Kansas roots to return to her other love, teaching math.
But from 2000 to 2003, Robin was part of a regional bluegrass band called Big Twang. The group cut one great album, Pastures of Plenty, before the post-9/11 economic slump forced some of the band members to focus on their day jobs. Before long, the group disbanded.

This past football season I really enjoyed watching WVU play, and I have also just been a fan of Michigan. With Rich Rodriguez coaching Michigan next year, will they be as fun to watch? Or was it just the Pat White/Steve Slaton combo?
If they sign Tyrelle Prior, I'll be trying to catch the games that aren't on the BTN next year.
I think McGuffie ended up signing there as well didn't he? That alone makes them worth watching!
McGuffie reopened his recruiting didn't he? I don't think he's going there anymore.
Michigan has his NLI.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
They are going to fun to watch against EIU....
We all know the troubles they have against spread offenses!!
Typically, I would say that since they are in the Big Ten, the answer is no. But I loved watching WVU with Rod as their coach. If he can get those same types of athletes into his system at Michigan, they will be entertaining to watch, and hopefully they'll start pounding Ohio State back.

Try this Tomatican (A Chilean Stew) recipe, or contribute your own.
0 people want to try | 0 have favorited
Drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice. In a heavy nonreactive soup pot or saucepan, saute the onions and chile or cayenne in the oil for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to soften. Add the cumin and lima beans and saute, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Add the juice from the tomatoes, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Chop the whole tomatoes right in the can. Stir the chopped tomatoes and corn into the pan. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender (recipe said this should only take about 10 minutes, but it took a lot longer. I dont know if it was because I was using fresh instead of frozen lima beans but it took more like 30 or 40 minutes). Stir in cilantro and add salt and black pepper to taste. Serve plain or topped with suggested garnishes. Serve over rice, polenta, or quinoa, or with warm tortillas or cornbread. Recipe is from _Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home_ and was modified just slightly by me. Posted to EAT-L Digest 05 Sep 96 From: Felicia Pickering

Somebody gave me a wonderful quote recently. "Logic and mathematics give you a consistent model. Academicians have an unfortunate tendency to confuse consistency with truth."
As for you being worried if you could understand engineers or doctors - I'm sorry, but I don't see why I should assume that other people are better than me. If I can't understand (at least superficially) what they're doing, then I conclude they are either crap at explaining themselves or, worse, they don't understand themselves. And I'm sorry if I'm cynical, but I've had enough experience of various professions (and from my own research) to know that people are very good seeing what they want, and not seeing what they don't want. I don't trust "experts". Far too many of them wear blinkers :-(

The kind of support that we can offer must be a broadly based support. All these situations are at the end of the day political problems. What we need to see is a greater interaction of defence capability, diplomatic capability and development capability because the big hope, and I think Somalia is a great example of this, is to get upstream of the problem to try and make these countries more stable, more capable of standing on their own feet, thus seriously reducing the likelihood of them becoming failed and failing states, of terrorists taking control, of Islamists taking control, and then having to mount an expensive intervention and carry out a process of nation building under fire, which we have seen in Iraq and Afghanistan is difficult. So a greater emphasis on preventing conflict, greater interaction of defence, development and diplomacy capabilities, that is the cheaper way. in both blood and financial resources, and that's what I would be proposing. The more emphasis the government can place on the interaction of defence, development and diplomacy the better.General The Lord Richard Dannatt, Chair DGSi Strategic Advisory Board, BBC Radio 4 interview on what support to offer Mali

When you scroll with the newer Apple Magic Mouse (at least on 10.6, I can't confirm any previous Mac OS) you get inertial scroll like scrolling on iPhone (that is, after a flick of the finger to scroll, it doesn't abruptly stop, but instead gradually slows down). This behaviour is "for free" with all NSScrollViews, it would appear.
There are exceptional cases, such as Tweetie for Mac (I've heard Tweetie was written with a custom Table View class that works akin to how
UITableView works on iPhone).
My question is, how do the scroll views know how to do this inertial scrolling? My guess is the mouse [driver] repeatedly sends scroll events with a dampening scroll magnitude (or something like that) over the scroll period. But I'm not really sure how it works.
I am having some scrolling problems in my scrollview class and I'm trying to figure out why (obviously we don't have the source code to Tweetie to see why it doesn't get the proper scrolling), but just trying to better understand how it works in order to fix my own problems.

Report Finds Iran Still Prepping To Enrich Uranium
A new report from the International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has stepped up its program to enrich uranium. It reports the country is installing more centrifuges in a heavily-defended underground site.
Iran has made substantial progress this summer expanding its enrichment of uranium. That's the conclusion of a soon-to-be released report from the International Atomic Energy Agency. As NPR's Mike Shuster reports, the news will certainly add fuel to the heated debate about how to respond.
MIKE SHUSTER, BYLINE: The IAEA's official periodic update on Iran's nuclear activities has not yet been released and probably won't surface for a few days. But the IAEA has learned, through the regular visits of inspectors and other monitoring devices, that Iran is in the process of installing hundreds of additional gas centrifuges at an enrichment facility called Fordow.
The Fordow plant has been built inside a mountain to protect it from air attack. These new centrifuges are not yet producing enriched uranium, it is believed, and David Albright, of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, questions just how far along the installation process is.
DAVID ALBRIGHT: We know that they've installed lots of what are called the outer casings of the centrifuge, but it's - it's unclear how many of the innards of the centrifuge have been installed.
SHUSTER: More important, says Albright, is an apparent finding that Iran is pressing forward with what is known as 20-percent low-enriched uranium. That is a lot closer to bomb-grade highly enriched uranium and requires fewer steps to reach that level.
Iran has said it needs the twenty-percent to fuel a research reactor in Tehran that makes nuclear medicine to treat cancer, but Iran has already made enough of that fuel to keep the reactor running. It's not clear why it wants to keep producing more, and that has David Albright worried.
ALBRIGHT: The production of the 20-percent is far out-stripping their need for 20-percent for the Tehran research reactor, and that's the fundamental concern.
SHUSTER: Iran's growing stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium is at the heart of the diplomatic process between Iran on the one hand and representatives from the U.S., Europe, Russia, and China on the other. Those talks have been under way since the spring, but they are stalled. The U.S. wants Iran to stop the production of 20-percent enriched uranium and send most of it out of the country. The full IAEA report is expected to be released sometime next week. Mike Shuster, NPR News.
