DURHAM, N.C. — Micanor Regis likes to teach Miami's defensive backs the proper way to break in front of passes and intercept them. Just one problem: Who would take that type of advice from a 305-pound defensive tackle?
Maybe the Hurricanes should.
Regis returned an interception 22 yards for a touchdown, one of the season-high seven turnovers Miami forced during its 28-13 victory over Duke on Saturday.
"Big Regis, he's a funny character," Vaughn Telemaque said. "He's always messing with us as defensive backs and going to catch balls and trying to teach us techniques of how to catch the ball. He came up real big, and he came up with the touchdown."
Jacory Harris threw for a touchdown and ran for one. He finished 17-of-34 for 224 yards in his first interception-free game since the season opener. Miami bounced back from last week's lopsided loss to Florida State by rolling up 448 total yards and shutting down one of the league's top passing offenses.
Telemaque had two of Miami's five interceptions, all thrown by Sean Renfree, and the Blue Devils fumbled twice.
"It's all self-inflicted wounds," Renfree said. "It's nothing they were doing."
Regis came up with the play of the day to end Duke's first possession of the second half. The tackle dropped into coverage, stepped in front of Renfree's pass and rumbled into the end zone to stretch Miami's lead to 21-3.
"I've got to score," Regis recalled himself thinking during his run. "It was so close that I could touch it."
Damien Berry rushed for 111 yards, and his 1-yard score in the third put Miami up 28-10. Harris threw a 14-yard touchdown to Leonard Hankerson on the first play of the second quarter, dumping the ball off in the flat that allowed the 6-foot-3 wideout do the rest himself, flipping over the goal line to make it 7-3.
Those two also hooked up just before halftime on a 33-yard gainer one play before Harris scrambled in untouched from 13 yards, pushing the lead to 14-3.
A Miami defense that entered ranked No. 4 nationally against the pass harassed Renfree and locked down the ACC's top two receivers: Conner Vernon and Donovan Varner, who entered averaging 6.8 and 6.2 catches, respectively.
Varner's first catch didn't come until 3½ minutes left in the first half and Duke was down by double figures. He finished with four catches for 50 yards. Vernon didn't catch a ball until the fourth quarter. Duke, which averaged 295 yards passing, was held to 187.
"If we get turnovers, it's because we're getting sacks," Miami coach Randy Shannon said. "If we're getting sacks, we're getting some type of turnover — maybe a quarterback hit, interception, because like anything, if the quarterback's throwing off his back foot, bad things happen."
E. Carolina 33, N.C. State 27 OT: Dominique Davis scored on a 1-yard keeper then Damon Magazu's interception sealed the host Pirates' win. East Carolina led 21-0 in the first quarter but needed Michael Barbour's field goal with 1:04 left to force overtime. "They have sacrificed and paid the price and have been battled and scarred," East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill said of his team. "And … that was special." Russell Wilson threw for 322 yards and a touchdown and ran for a touchdown for the Wolfpack. But he threw three interceptions and was charged with a fumble on a botched handoff. "They played their hearts out, and we didn't execute," Wolfpack offensive tackle Jake Vermiglio said. "We'll have to look ourselves in the mirror and figure out something we can do better as a team."
Va. Tech 52, Wake 21: Tyrod Taylor threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a touchdown for the host Hokies. Tech has won five in a row since starting the season with losses to Boise State and I-AA James Madison. It scored touchdowns on seven of its eight first-half possessions to lead 49-14. Taylor hit Logan Thomas for 3 yards, Danny Coale for 25 and Jarrett Boykin for 11 and scored on a 1-yard sneak. "We haven't been getting off to good starts," Taylor said. "And I've been telling the guys that we needed to start the game early from play one and get on top of them. That's what we did."
Clemson 31, Maryland 7: Andre Ellington scored on an 87-yard kickoff return and 1-yard run as the host Tigers ended a three-game skid. Before the game, Clemson retired the number of C.J. Spiller, who set an NCAA record with seven kickoff returns for touchdowns from 2006-09. "It was very special doing it in front of a guy like that," Ellington said. "Saw he had a big smile on his face. He was excited, and we were, too." The kickoff return came after the Terps took a 7-3 lead on a halfback pass from Da'Rel Scott to quarterback Danny O'Brien. The touchdown run made it 24-7 3:58 into the third. Clemson played without freshman DeAndre Hopkins.
N. Carolina 44, Virginia 10: T.J. Yates threw three touchdowns for the Tar Heels, who ended a 14-game skid in Charlottesville dating to 1981. On the game's first play, Yates threw a short slant to Dwight Jones, who broke a tackle and turned it into an 81-yard touchdown. North Carolina also got back two more players from the NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct, defensive end Linwan Euwell and tailback Ryan Houston, though only Euwell played. The investigation has left five others out for this season.
Ga. Tech 42, Middle Tenn. 14: Anthony Allen ran for two touchdowns for the host Yellow Jackets. Tech scored touchdowns on three consecutive third-quarter possessions. Allen, a graduate of Tampa's Jesuit High, ran for a 32-yard score. Josh Nesbitt hit Stephen Hill for 26 yards, and Allen's 5-yard run made it 35-7. "I believe we can score every time we get the ball," Nesbitt said. "We just have to execute our offense."

Is your roulette hot streak based on more than random chance?
When stepping into a casino, it can be useful to have a clear sense of how probability works and how it applies to the games that you're playing. In today's discussion about gambling however, we're reminded that a gambler's fortune can depend on more than just random odds.

Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard Opens Up About Zooey Deschanel, Celebrity + 'Kintsugi'
Last week, Death Cab for Cutie returned with their eighth album, Kintsugi, their first since 2011's Codes and Keys.
Last week, Death Cab for Cutie returned with their eighth album, Kintsugi, their first since 2011's Codes and Keys.
Prince made an appearance on the Super Bowl episode of Zooey Deschanel's super-sugary show 'New Girl.'
Zooey Deschanel's divorce from Ben Gibbard, her husband of three years, was finalized by a judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Dec. 12), the AP reports (via Billboard.com).
Zooey Deschanel was a young and unknown Hollywood hopeful with little more than an episode of the Kristie Alley sitcom 'Veronica's Closet' on her resume when she landed a slot in this 1998 Offspring video...
We're going to go ahead and say it: Animated Zooey Deschanel doesn't exactly look much like real-life Zooey Deschanel, the She & Him singer and star of the comedy 'New Girl.' But no matter, when she showed up on the recent 'Simpsons' episode 'Moonshine River' to serenade none other than Bart as his hillbilly lover, Mary Spuckler, she still looks cute as a button -- and sounds like like a sexy siren of a singer. Lo...
America's dorkiest sweetheart may be better known for her role in 'New Girl' these days, but she also has a fantastic voice. Put Zooey Deschanel on 'The Voice,' and just wait for sales for her She and Him indie pop duo with M...
Is Zooey Deschanel finally ready to move on? More than half a year after the indie It Girl and Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard called it quits, Deschanel was spotted holding hands with a new flame at Sunday's Hollywood after party for the movie 'Magic Mike.' So, who's the lucky new guy? Jamie Linden, a screenwriter behind the scripts for such flicks as '10 Years,' 'Dear John' and 'We Are Marshall.'
America's sweetheart Zooey Deschanel has conquered both the silver and small screens. It's only natural that she sets her sights on Broadway. The actress/musician will play the role of country legend Loretta Lynn in an upcoming stage production.
If you're looking to provide your hair with maximum shine, lift, and adorkability, look no further: Zooey Deschanel has signed a deal to become Pantene's 'New Girl.'
Zooey Deschanel dances around to the original recording of 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' in the new iPhone 4S commercial, which uses Siri's "intelligent personal assistant" technology to respond to verbal commands.

Why the media loves Obama: He's good for business
CBS has released ratings figures showing that their near-hourlong sit- down with President-Elect Barack Obama and wife Michelle on Sunday was not just a blockbuster 60 Minutes episode, with 25-million people tuning in to deliver its highest ratings in nine years.
It was also the season's most-watched episode of television to date, outranking even the World Series games and making struggling newer programs such as Pushing Daisies and Heroes look like lightweights.
This is the discussion that gets missed when critics wring their hands about Obama's popularity with the press. I've always thought that much of his good press could be explained by three simple things: a) he had the best campaigns in both the primaries and the general election, so success begat success; b) he's a great story; c) he's good for business -- meaning, viewers, readers and listeners show up when he's featured in a story.
Click below to see CBS's release, along with a YouTube clip in case you missed it:
60 MINUTES drew 25.1 million viewers last Sunday, the largest audience among all the programs on television so far this season. The audience was 60 MINUTES' largest in nearly a decade and the program posted its best delivery in the key demographics in almost nine years.
The television event of the season, featuring the first post-election interview with President-elect Obama and his wife, Michelle, was also a hit across all CBS digital platforms. The 60 MINUTES Web site on CBSNews.com (www.cbsnews.com/60minutes) drew the most video streams and page views since the Web site was created. In addition to the Web, CBS Mobile saw five times more people view highlights of the interview on their mobile phones than average. The interview was available online shortly after the on-air broadcast concluded.
Sunday's television broadcast propelled 60 MINUTES into Nielsen's number-one spot for the second straight week. The last time 60 MINUTES ranked first in-season on consecutive weeks were the weeks ending Dec. 27, 1992 and Jan. 3, 1993.
60 MINUTES delivered a 15.1/23 with 25.10m viewers, 8.1/18 in adults 25-54 and 6.3/16 in adults 18-49. This is 60 MINUTES' best households and viewers deliveries since January 17, 1999 and best adults 25-54 and adults 18-49 performances since January 9, 2000.
The record broadcast continues a stellar season for 60 MINUTES, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary and remains one of the most successful programs in television history. So far this season, the program has made Nielsen's weekly top 10 list five out of eight weeks.
Season to date, 60 MINUTES is averaging 15.7 million viewers, up 12 percent over last season. It is also up 9 percent in households, with 10.0 rating and 16 share. The broadcast ranks 9th on Nielsen's Top 10 list in both viewers and households.

The Western Conference is filled with teams looking win the Western Conference championship and potentially dethrone the Miami Heat.
With one week left in the season, San Antonio has a three game lead over Oklahoma City for the top seed, their number is two and they will get that. With the Thunder win over the Clippers in Los Angeles Wednesday it basically locked the Thunder into the two seed (magic number of two) and the Clippers in the three seed (magic number of one to lock that up over Houston).
With seeds 4-5-6, Portland had dreams of catching Houston and getting home court in the first round but that's not likely to happen, the Rockets magic number to secure home court in the first round is just two.

Excerpt from Secrets, which is set on board the frigate Hecuba, in the time of the Napoleonic wars. The appearance of a sea monster has heralded a series of alarming events, not least the revelation that two of the ships crew have been seeing ghosts. Things are about to get even worse...
Are you saying...? The captains question was interrupted by the arrival of the lieutenant of marines, with two of his men in tow. Yes, Henman?
If everyone whod heard Thompsons story of the admiral had turned pale, then Henmans face out-ashened them all.
Could you come with us to the hold, sir? Now. Its important.
I will. Hopkins passed a hand over his brow. Mr. Douglas, can you make sure Thompson gets a hot meal inside him? Ask my steward to rouse out the last of the chicken broth. Thatll settle him down for a reasonable nights sleep.
The looks on the faces of the rest of the midshipmen indicated Thompson might be the only one of them in that happy position. What if this White Admiral, whoever he was, might want to have a word in season with them?
Mr. Paget? Hopkins motioned for his first officer to join him as they followed the marines along the deck and down the nearest ladder. What is it Im being taken to see? he asked, once they were out of earshot of the crew.
A dead man. The surgeons with him, but hes beyond even Mr. Cowans care. Here. Henman pointed, as they reached the hold. Two marines were standing watch, holding a lantern, while Cowan bent over a twisted body.
Who is it? Hopkins asked.
Ponting, Cowan said, easing himself up off his haunches. The side of his heads been stoved in. With this, I suspect. He pointed to a blood smeared belaying pin, which Pagetgingerlypicked up and held at arms length.

Brilliant's new LED T8 linear tube is an ideal retrofit solution for traditional T8 fluorescent lamps. Offering both high performance and energy efficiency, it is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. It also features an acrylic diffuser, making it safe for use in commercial kitchens.
Energy Saving
Regular T8 fluorescent lamps consume 36 Watts of power with a further ~9 Watts lost in the magnetic ballast. As a result, total power consumption per lamp is actually around 45 Watts. To the contrary, Brilliant LED tube consumes just 18 Watts in total. Resulting in up to 60% energy savings in some fittings.
Lumen Output
Lumens is a measure of total light output. It is true that the Brilliant LED tube produces less lumens than a modern T8 fluorescent tube. However, regular T8 tubes release their light in all directions (360˚). Much of this light is lost in the fitting and to unused parts of the room. The LED tube only directs its light output downward, where it is actually needed. It has a beam angle of about 140˚ so it still spreads light throughout the room, but without losing any light to the fixture or ceiling.

Florida Muslims face prison for jihad mass murder bomb plot in NYC
More Muslims involved in jihad on our home soil, proving yet again the falsity of the mainstream narrative that jihad has nothing to do with Islam. Why do mosques have so much difficulty training converts in the proper understanding of Islam, if jihad terror is a misunderstanding of Islam?
The fact is that this understanding of Islam is widespread.
And while Muslims in the US pay lip service to denouncing jihad terror, where are they teaching against the ideology that gave rise to it?
Right now, nothing is being done to stop jihad recruiting in US mosques, even as several hundred young Muslims from the US have gone to wage jihad for the Islamic State.
If the moderates really reject extremism, let them show it by instituting genuine programs to teach against this view of Islam.
"Florida Muslims face prison for jihad mass murder bomb plot in NYC," thanks to Robert Spencer, June 10, 2015
"Raees Alam Qazi, 22, who went to Manhattan and bicycled around scoping out potential bomb targets that would result in mass casualties, is facing 32 years in federal prison. His brother, Sheheryar Alam Qazi, 32, who provided support, anticipates he will serve a 17-year prison term." That's a lot of years to devote to prison dawah.
"Broward brothers face prison for terrorist bomb plot in NYC," by Paula McMahon, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, June 10, 2015:
When two Broward County brothers are sentenced Thursday for plotting a terrorist attack on New York City landmarks, the younger man expects to serve nearly twice as much time in prison as his sibling.
Raees Alam Qazi, 22, who went to Manhattan and bicycled around scoping out potential bomb targets that would result in mass casualties, is facing 32 years in federal prison. His brother, Sheheryar Alam Qazi, 32, who provided support, anticipates he will serve a 17-year prison term.
The Oakland Park men pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiring to provide support to terrorists and conspiring to assault two deputy U.S. marshals. The younger brother pleaded guilty to an additional charge of attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group al-Qaida.
Under the terms of their plea agreements, federal prosecutors and the defense promised to jointly recommend those punishments at their sentencings in federal court in Miami.
Though most judges comply with such agreements, U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom is not legally bound to follow the recommendations and could still impose the maximum penalties of 35 years for the younger man and 20 years for the older brother.
The younger brother deserves a tougher sentence because he posed a "serious threat" when he traveled to New York, planning to build and set off a bomb there, federal prosecutors wrote in court documents.
Though the plot never progressed past the planning and scouting stages, prosecutors revealed that Raees Qazi "not only engaged in his own plot to launch a terrorist attack, he also attempted to provide other like-minded individuals with encouragement and assistance in their own plots.
"Qazi recommended an Al Qa'ida-sponsored course on the manufacturing of explosives to an individual and … Qazi suggested to an informant that if the informant was serious about jihad, the informant could consider staying in Florida because the [person] knew that area well, including the 'famous places,'" prosecutors wrote.
The two men have been locked up since Nov. 29, 2012, when Raees Qazi returned home from New York City to Broward County on a Greyhound bus.
In an interview with the FBI, he admitted he had spent a few days cycling around Manhattan, doing research to pull off a terrorist explosion. He said that he returned home because he ran out of cash and equipment but was planning to train more and experiment with bomb-making so he could return and carry out an attack in New York….
The brothers' sentencing Thursday is also intended to punish them for an unusual assault on two deputy U.S. marshals who were moving them around the federal courthouse and detention center complex in downtown Miami in April 2014.
The brothers distracted their guards by simultaneously looking up, then punched and fought with the marshals while calling out "God is Great" in Arabic.…

Euro is surging on the news that lawmakers in the United States have come to an agreement to end the shutdown and avert a default. Risk appetite has returned to the markets as Forex traders greet the news with enthusiasm. However, with the some of the attention off politics in the United States, some focus is returning to eurozone austerity.
As the eleventh hour approached, US politicians finally passed a deal to avert default, and to end the partial shutdown. The news has been greeted with relief, since there were concerns that a default could result in a slowing of the economic progress made recently.
Risk appetite is back, and the euro is seeing the benefits.
However, the new focus regarding the eurozone is austerity. The European Commission is going to begin reviewing budgets of member states before they are submitted to their own parliaments. The purpose is to continue with the austerity seen following the sovereign debt crisis. Eurozone growth is expected to get a boost in the coming year, and between that and measures by periphery countries to improve their budgets, there are hopes for euro strength.
At 7:55 GMT EUR/USD is up to 1.3620 from the open at 1.3534. EUR/GBP is up to 0.8487 from the open at 0.8486. EUR/JPY is down to 133.4600 from the open at 133.6675.

Can anybody tell me how to make glasses for my fondant model? And what wire would I need?
Making a little pair of glasses is fairly easy, you just need one length of wire and bend it into this shape,
using pliers, for the circles of the glasses you could bend them around a thin pencil or something the right diameter,
The wire you can get from craft shops, a thin, soft wire is best so its easy to bend,
Hope this helps, good luck!
If you would like an editable version I used RI to make my glasses.
Sorry, CC will not let me add an attachment (file is only 14.8KB so I'm not sure why), but if you have access to the Naughty Cake's section you could look at my pic to see an example. I only have one cake in this section and it called the Viagra Cake.
Thank you for your replies, they were both very helpful. And thank you Jamandbuttercream for the link.

My eyelids had extra skin which was making me appear older than I really am, not to mention eyeshadow was less noticeable. Now my eyes look GREAT not overdone just re-freshed!!
I hardly had any bruising and was only swollen for a couple of days. The office nurse did a follow up phone call the next day to make sure every thing was going well and took care of any questions I had. It was also re-assuring to know that Dr. W was available around the clock in case of any concerns. My eyelids turned out beautifully with minimal scarring (no one has noticed yet!) I am 100% satisfied with the entire process.

Going too far is part of Griffin's act
Updated 9:00 pm, Thursday, April 3, 2003
"Did I go too far?" Eddie Griffin asks his audience with a mischievous grin near the end of his comedy act. It's not really a question, and he likely doesn't care what your answer is.
His philosophy is that God has a sense of humor and can take a joke, so no subject is off-limits: sex, religion, sex, drugs, sex, race, sex, Osama bin Laden (the concert was shot some months after 9/11), and of course sex, delivered in a profanity-laced performance.
"DysFunkTional Family," however, attempts to be more than a stand-up concert film, and the "more" sections feel unfinished at best. The centerpiece of Griffin's sold-out Chicago performance, a family album of stories of growing up in Kansas City, Mo., is intercut with interviews, family reunion scenes and on-the-street goofing from a hometown visit.
As Griffin describes one uncle's aspirations to turn his hobby (home movie porno) into a career, or the fine art of physical discipline as practiced by his mother, the film cuts away first to their own versions of the stories, and then to their front-row seats in the concert hall as Griffin tells it to the world. Their reactions are often priceless.
Latest Entertainment Videos
The rest of the intercut footage is distracting, lacking insight to give the comedy a human grounding, and lacking the humor to justify cutting away from his act.
Director George Gallo edits the concert with an urgency that borders on impatience, tightening Griffin's rhythm and shortening the audience responses. The timing is surprisingly effective but unnatural. Griffin's comic art is as much physical as verbal. The barrage of cuts breaks the flow, and sound effects added after the fact are intrusive.
Many will find Griffin profane, sexist and decidedly offensive. Many more will find his raunchy insights inspired, his body language hilarious and his gift for mimicry and caricature worth the entire show. Humor, like beauty, is in the eye (and the ear) of the beholder.

[The Voyage] has had to wait 14 years for its first appearance on disc, and though that delay is in some ways unfortunate, in others it allows a more mature perspective on the work. In one important aspect, Glass cleverly transcended the immediate circumstances of the commission by making it a work about the very idea of exploration in a far wider sense, a panorama into which Columbus fits comfortably but does not dominate. It is, the composer says, "an allegory about the spirit of exploration and the dislocation that must occur whenever different cultures clash…"[…] Glass's propulsive melodic and harmonic style provides the requisite element, if not of the eternal, then of the supra-human, providing a musical analogue for that panorama of the idea of exploration, of space and time.Ivan Moody, Gramophone, 10/1/2006
The score has all the trappings of a grand operatic ceremonial, with massive choral writing, and generally a far less austere musical language than Glass used for his operas of the 1980s. The 2004 studio recording is based upon the Linz production that had been the work's European premiere in tow years earlier; it's conducted by Glass's regular champion, Dennis Russell Davies, in a lucid and suitably imposing manner, [...] But as the work that cemented Glass's place in the American musical establishment, The Voyage needed a recording; this will do nicely. Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 11/24/2006
All the Glass musical trademarks are present, with tight rhythms and garrulous arrangements supporting yearning melodiesRoger Thomas, BBC Music Magazine, 3/1/2007

It is our first time posting so our apologies in advance if we have done something wrong. I am a developer at Wonderstruck. We are based in the United Kingdom. We are developing a new stealth game and we need your feedback on this game to see if we have core game mechanics right before we invest anymore of our time into this.
For the last few months here at Wonderstruck, we've been working hard on Project: Strongroom - a fast paced, arcade stealth game that focuses on luring enemies out of your path instead of killing them or sitting still and waiting for them to look the other way.
You play as a world renowned art thief, relying on your wits (and cool gadgets) to evade and bewilder the guards between you and your prizes. In this game, you're a Thief, not a Thug. All your obstacles will be avoided or manipulated, not murdered.
It's a whitebox Prototype, meaning the graphics are BLOCKY and all in-game assets are ALL PLACEHOLDERS, but we're really excited about the gameplay and would love to know what you guys thought.
Here are images of how it could look like in the future.
As the game is still very early in development, for you to download the game, you will first need to click the link below to become a member of Strongroom Development Group.
There is an instruction on how you will be able to download the game there. Sorry, it appears that for games that are in development, Google wants beta testers to join a Google Group before downloading the game.
If there are things you like or hate about it, please let us know by clicking on the feedback link included in the Strongroom Development Group. There is a known issue where the performance on Nexus 7 is poor. We hope to fix this very soon.
We hope you enjoy it, and thanks for helping us make this game better!
Thank you.

I am having a rather interesting problem, hopefully someone can help me out.
I am using Powershell to create an CSV file the MIIS/ILM uses for import. The file itself is a list of windows Ids and displaynames that are the group memberships of three separate AD groups.
When I try and import the CSV into MIIS, I get an "stopped-file-embedded-nulls" error an no records are imported. Interestingly if I copy the entire file contents to a new file, that file imports into MIIS without any errors.
I have no idea where these nulls are coming from, but certainly don't see anything odd when I use a text editor like Textpad and show all characters.Any ideas or has anyone seen Powershell create files that have odd or hidden nulls in them?
Yes, PowerShell does add some extra hidden characters into files. I'm not sure if all the cmdlets do though.
Can you provide more details on how you need to create the file? Maybe if you use something from the .NET framework, then you'll be all set.
I am using one of the Quest commandlets:
get-QADGroupMember $group -sizelimit 0 | select-object samAccountName, displayName | export-csv $Outfile
Thanks Marco!
I also tried the following (so I could remove the null), and no luck either?
$Users = get-QADGroupMember $group -sizelimit 0 | select-object samAccountName, displayName
foreach($User in $Users){
$Sam = $User.samAccountName.Trim() -replace($null,"")
$DisplayName = $User.displayName.Trim() -replace($null,"")
$Sam + ",""" + $DisplayName + """" | out-file $Output -append
Anyone have an ideas how to get rid of them?

Mayo Clinic research reveals 'broken heart syndrome' recurs in 1 of 10 patients
CHICAGO -- In the largest review of "broken heart syndrome" patients ever conducted, Mayo Clinic researchers studied 100 patients and found symptoms recurred in 1 out of 10 patients over a four-year period, and that patients experiencing physical stress had a worse survival rate than those under emotional stress. The information may help physicians manage their heart patients more effectively by providing new details about a recently recognized condition that mimics heart attack symptoms of shortness of breath and chest pain. Because one trigger of the syndrome is severe emotional stress, such as loss of a loved one, the condition several years ago was nicknamed "broken heart syndrome." It is known medically as apical ballooning syndrome (ABS).
In a second Mayo study on the syndrome, the Mayo Clinic researchers found one possible cause of the disorder. By analyzing ABS patients' heart flow, they found that two-thirds of patients with broken heart syndrome had abnormal heart-blood flow that may be due to dysfunctional small blood vessels. Both studies were presented today at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association in Chicago, Ill.
Significance of the Mayo Research Combined, these study results may improve diagnosis and management of ABS patients. "Apical ballooning syndrome is an important acute cardiac syndrome that we have begun to recognize recently. These data add important long-term perspective of the prognosis of patients who have ABS. The main finding is that recurrence is possible and happens in about 10% of patients and that physical stressors may affect survival more than emotional stressors. We don't yet know how to prevent it, or the precise cause of ABS, but our data point to abnormalities of the microscopic blood vessels in about two thirds of patients. Further clinical and basic research is underway," says Charanjit Rihal, M.D., Mayo Clinic cardiologist and director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.
ABS syndrome is a recently recognized disorder in the United States. It was described in Japan about 15 years ago. In ABS, when patients' hearts respond to stress, the tip of the heart's main pumping chamber stretches, balloons out and weakens. The syndrome has been diagnosed mainly in postmenopausal women, though the reason for this gender skew is not yet known.
About the Two Mayo Studies In the Mayo heart-blood flow study, 51 female ABS patients and 14 non-ABS patients were matched for sex, age and heart pumping ability. None of the study participants had blocked blood vessels or other evidence of heart problems. Their hearts were imaged by coronary angiogram within 24 hours of the ABS symptoms to determine how well the heart muscle was nourished by blood flow. Results showed:
- 69 percent had abnormal blood flow patterns in their hearts
- dysfunction in the small blood vessels appears to contribute to the flow abnormality
- those with the greatest abnormalities were at the greatest risk of injury to the heart muscle
In the largest study of ABS patients ever undertaken, Mayo researchers investigated recurrence and survival rates in 100 ABS patients seen at Mayo Clinic from January 1988 to November 2005. The patients were sorted into these three groups, intended to characterize events that triggered ABS symptoms: 1) Acute emotional stressors 2) Acute physical stressors 3) No identifiable precipitating event. Results showed:
- 11 percent of patients -- approximately 1 in 10 -- experienced recurrence over a four-year period
- chest pain is common during the event, as well as in the follow-up events
- approximately 3.6 percent of cases were fatal
- fatalities were largely determined by the overall health of the patient
- ABS patients who experienced a physical stressor had a significantly worse survival rate than those experiencing an emotional stressor or no stress
EMBARGOED: Hold for release until: Tuesday, Nov. 14, 9:30 a.m. CST American Heart Association

Other members of the team studying ABS recurrence include: Ahmad Elesber, M.D., Abhiram Prasad, M.D., Ryan Lennon, M.S.; R.

Photo Flash: 'Charlotte's Web' at South Coast Rep
E.B. White's beloved fable about love and friendship will
tug on the heartstrings when South Coast Repertory's Theatre for Young
Audiences (TYA) presents Charlotte's Web. Adapted by Joseph Robinette from E.B. White's
book and directed by Shelley Butler, Charlotte's
Web runs February 8 - 24 on the Julianne Argyros Stage.
The Children's Literature Association named Charlotte's Web "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," and Robinette's adaptation, working with the advice of White, is one of the most widely produced children's plays in the United States.

Inflation And Relative Price Asymmetry
By placing store-level price data into bivariate Structural VAR models of inflation and relative price asymmetry, this study evaluates the quantitative importance of idiosyncratic pricing shocks in short-run aggregate price change dynamics. Robustly to alternative definitions of the relative price, identification schemes dictated by two-sided (S,s) pricing theory and measures of asymmetry in the relative price distribution, idiosyncratic shocks explain about 25 to 30 percent of the forecast error variance in inflation at the 12-month horizon. While the contemporaneous correlation between inflation and relative price asymmetry is positive, idiosyncratic shocks lead to a substantial build-up in inflation only after two to five months following the initial disturbance

Well, why so much confusion? Senator Chris Coons is on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he has been briefed on the situation. And first, sir, thank you very much for taking the time. Let me just start and ask you, since I know you have been briefed and know everything that there is to know from intelligence officials. Why don't we have more answers yet?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER COONS (D-DE), SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE: Well, Erin, first, thank you for the opportunity to be on. And let's focus on what President Obama said today at the U.N. meeting at the general -- the meeting of the U.N. General Assembly. He laid out in a strong and clear speech that America is determined under his leadership to make sure that those who killed our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans will be brought to justice. That is a statement that has weight and credibility, because he has successfully led the hunt for Osama bin Laden and an effort over several years to deliver withering attacks at the leadership of al Qaeda.
I have been, as many other senators have been, a participant in a secure, classified briefing, and I can't talk very much about the details of what we were told there. But I will tell you that I am comfortable that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the FBI promptly launched a thorough and searching investigation on the ground in Benghazi to learn exactly what happened and what was a chaotic and confusing situation. And I am confident that we continue to have a leadership role in the world as the president laid out today in front of the United Nations, rooted in American values, but that will not allow Islamist jihadist terrorists to push us back out of the region.
BURNETT: So when you say that you're confident in what is happening on the ground, let me put the question directly to you, then. Why is that when that CNN was in the consulate days after the horrible attack that they found that the -- the diary of Ambassador Stevens' thoughts and his fears and not the U.S. investigators. Why weren't they the ones who found something like that which was -- was just lying there?
COONS: That's an excellent question. We did not get briefed on the specifics of CNN's acquisition and use of the private diary of Ambassador Stevens. That wasn't one of the topics on which we were briefed. That does raise a real question about the appropriateness of the use of material from a private diary. But it does, as you put it, raise a question. If it was just actually lying out in the open was there in fact appropriate efforts to secure the consulate?
One of the larger points I hope watchers take into mind is that we rely on host country police and national military forces to secure our embassies and consulates around the world. We have seen a whole wave of protests in countries around the region. And frankly, the cooperation we've gotten from the Libyan national government after this tragic event has, as the president said, been positive.
BURNETT: Right.
COONS: But it was deeply concerning that in other parts of the region we didn't get the support and the response we hoped for and expect from allies and partners of the United States.
BURNETT: And I know there's been a lot of questions about that as well. What about, though, the take-away that I laid out at the top, which some people are coming to this conclusion. You know, when the Libyan government from the beginning said this was pre-planned and first Susan Rice and then Jay Carney said it was not preplanned, although obviously there has been a little bit of change in the position from the administration on that front. But that -- and when there were the warnings given by Libyan officials to American Embassy officials on the ground, the State Department says they were never made aware of those. Now, all of that may be completely true. But doesn't it lend itself to this situation or impression that the State Department is trying to say, well, we didn't know. And because no one told us, you can't hold us accountable for what happened on the ground.
COONS: Erin, I think what's going to matter here is the conclusions that come out from a thorough and searching forensic review of the evidence on the ground. Now that there are FBI intelligence community and diplomatic security forces in place, reviewing the details, interrogating suspects, working in partnership with the Libyan national government, I'm confident that when the Senate returns to session in November, we will get a thorough briefing on the lessons learned from this tragic incident and on what we should be doing going forward to ensure security for U.S. diplomats and representatives in this uncertain and troubled part of the world.
But let me be clear about this. This tragedy, this loss of an American ambassador and three others shouldn't be made part of the partisan fight that is our presidential election and other elections around the country. And I think it is difficult at times, frankly regrettable that some candidates have tried to seek political gain in characterizing this one way or the other. I really think what we should be focusing on is the important lessons we can learn from this, and sustaining America's engagement in a critical part of the world, whereas you know, there are so many other places that demand and need our attention and engagement.
BURNETT: Yes, there are and I know you spend a lot of time focusing on those, as well. Senator Coons, thank you very much. One of them of course is Mali and we'll be joined exclusively by the prime minister of Mali later on in the program.

The R-C Morning Report for July 8
July 8, 2014
A tentative agreement is up for ratification between the Douglas County School Board and Professional Educators Association at today's meeting at Lake Tahoe. Also up is an outline for a study group to look at Whittell High School's curriculum. The school board meets 3:30 p.m. at the Lake Tahoe Visitor's Authority.
The old Aloha Ranch development in the Gardnerville Ranchos is seeing a little activity at the Douglas County Planning Commission today. First approved in 2004, developers of what is now the Rain Shadow Ranch are seeking to increase the first phase by one lot to 18. Planning commissioners meet at 1 p.m. at the historic Douglas County Courthouse in Minden.
The Minnehaha Canyon fire was reported contained at 9 p.m. Monday. It held at 251 acres, according to the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch.
While Carson had a 3.1 magnitude earthquake on Monday, a spot between Mammoth Lakes and Lake Crowley has been positively vibrating, experiencing 30 small quakes since Sunday night, none larger than a 1.9. The most recent one was 6:12 a.m. today.
We've had a lot of fire weather watches, but today saw one cancelled for thunderstorms in Western Nevada. We're getting some monsoon moisture, which is increasing humidity and the chance for wetting rains. Expect scattered showers after 11 a.m. with the high near 94 degrees and variable winds 5-10 mph.

Getting Terrence Jones fully healthy may be one thing John Calipari will want during the Christmas break. His other star sophomore might want to work right through it.
Before getting some time off for the holiday, third-ranked Kentucky may look to Doron Lamb for another standout performance if Jones remains unavailable Thursday night for a matchup with visiting Loyola (Md.).
Jones, the team's top returning scorer and rebounder, hadn't missed a game in his Wildcats career before sitting out Tuesday's 82-50 victory over Samford. The preseason All-American dislocated his left pinky three days earlier in an 87-62 win over Chattanooga and was limited to 10 minutes.
Calipari didn't sound optimistic about a return Thursday, maybe thinking it's better to give Jones extra time to heal considering Kentucky doesn't play again until next Wednesday against Lamar.
"He wants to play tomorrow but I may not let him," Calipari said Wednesday.
Lamb stepping up is a big reason why the Wildcats (10-1) still dominated the last two games, which followed their stunning last-second loss at Indiana on Dec. 10. He scored 24 points Saturday and matched a season high with 26 on Monday.
The 6-foot-4 guard had a career-high six rebounds and hit four 3-pointers in each of those wins, shooting a combined 18 of 29 from the field and totaling only one turnover in 61 minutes.
"Doron, because he is spending that extra time, is starting to play different," Calipari said. "He is playing more assertive, he's not in to himself, he's talking more."
Lamb, who reached 20 points only once in his first nine games, has been going to the gym early of late to work on conditioning and get in extra shooting before practice. He's averaging a team-best 16.7 points after scoring 12.3 per game last season.
"It is worth it, dog," Lamb said of the additional work. "I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing so far, keep that up. It's paying off."
Senior Darius Miller could make a second straight start in place of Jones after scoring 17 points Tuesday.
Another reason Calipari might not mind having Jones sit out is that the Wildcats, winners of 41 straight at home, aren't exactly facing a formidable opponent. Loyola, which has never played Kentucky, has met seven ranked teams over the past decade and lost all of those games by at least 23 points.
Calipari clearly would never admit to taking this game lightly, even explaining why the Greyhounds (8-2) could present a challenge.
"They are going to come after us and press, they will not back down," he said. "... They've got good players, they are physical, they are older and they shoot the 3.
"The two games they lost they had a chance to win both of them, they could have come in here (10-0)."
Loyola opened the season with a 73-65 loss at Wake Forest, then won eight straight before falling 76-66 at St. Bonaventure on Sunday. That defeat ended the program's longest win streak since the 1964-65 season.
Justin Drummond scored a career-high 26 points off the bench after failing to reach double figures in the previous three games.
Dylon Cormier tops the Greyhounds with 16.8 points per game but was held to a season-low seven Sunday. Second-leading scorer Erik Etherly has totaled eight points in the past two games after reaching double figures in eight straight.

Joshua Hardy's death ruled a homicide
The death of a man injured in a 2008 shooting has been ruled a homicide.
On June 3, 2008, Joshua Hardy of Southeast was shot in the 1200 block of Pleasant Street, SE, just after 11 p.m.
Four years later, on Sept. 20, Hardy was found unconscious and was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner deemed Hardy's death a homicide the next day.
In 2009, a juvenile male was charged with assault with intent to kill. He pleaded guilty and remains incarcerated for the crime.

Gamma Rays at Cygnet Theatre
Lest we be lost in the long black night
Ian Pike 6 a.m., Sept. 21
"I think it's going to be a lot easier to get on the freeway in the mornings," said a Little Italy resident before crossing Beech Street on the morning of September 10 with her pug.
A new stoplight at the intersection of Beech and Front Streets was in operation; for the past two months, cardboard had been taped over the lights.
The resident said the traffic light will make her walk safer, as well. "People would come off the freeway way too fast," she said.
Previously, cars traveling east on Beech would have to wait while cars exited Interstate 5 south at exit 17 onto Front Street. Speeding through a gap in traffic, vehicles would then have to quickly stop half a block later.
The City's website lists the number of traffic lights in San Diego at 40,000, all maintained by the City of San Diego Street Division, which is also responsible for sidewalks, drains, trees, and signs.

"I have to work to get to 126 but 122 was beginning to be real hard and difficult," Lopez says. "I think at 126 I'll be bigger and stronger."
Should Luevano decide to slug it out, Dunkin realizes chances are he'll get pummeled from here to tomorrow. "This fight Steven knows he has got to box and be very careful of that right hook," Dunkin says. "You can't get hit with that right hook. If he boxes it will be a really competitive fight. And if he can figure Lopez out, he can beat him."
Luevano may have to do it in a hostile environment, as well. The Jan. 23d fight on "Boxing After Dark" takes place in the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden – a venue known to fly a lot of Puerto Rican flags for fighters like Juanma. But it won't be the first time that Luevano has gone into the lion's den.
In 2007 Luevano crossed the pond to England to face then-unbeaten featherweight champion Nicky Cook. Not only was the British crowd against him, but the promoter didn't think enough of Luevano to put his face on the pre-fight poster. By the 11th round, the Brits had a pretty good idea of what Luevano looked like. He was the one on his feet staring down at the canvas where Cook spent four different visits before the bout ended with a body shot just 29 seconds into the 11th round. Luevano took home a souvenir poster and Cook's title, and hasn't relinquished it since.
Lopez gave up his own belt when he moved from super bantamweight to featherweight, a division loaded with good fights. Lopez has no doubt he can carry his power with him. "It's going to be a lot easier to make 126 than 122," Lopez says. "I have to work to get to 126 but 122 was beginning to be real hard and difficult. I think at 126 I'll be bigger and stronger."
Even if he is, he will still have to solve the tricky style of Luevano, a southpaw who works off a very good jab. "I've seen Steven really right and sharp and he takes guys who people think will kill him and he tears them up," said Dunkin, who manages three other current champions in Kelly Pavlik, Timothy Bradley and Nonito Donaire.
Luevano won't be the first crafty veteran Lopez has faced. In April he took on former two-time champion Gerry Penalosa, who'd never been stopped in 62 fights. Lopez was dominating him on all three scorecards before Penalosa quit on his stool after the 10th round. That victory may not have been a true indicator, however, of Lopez's ability to deal with a highly-skilled boxer.
Penalosa's strategy was hopelessly flawed. Because Lopez had virtually no experience going deep into a fight, Penalosa decided to stand in the middle of the ring and trade, hoping his strong chin would let him tire Lopez out and take over the fight in the later rounds. Luevano isn't likely to make the same mistake.
In an intriguing co-feature, unbeaten Cuban sensation Yuriorkis Gamboa (16-0, 14 KOs) takes on the same fighter who nearly broke down Lopez, Mtagwa (26-13-2, 18 KOs). Both Lopez and Gamboa fight under the Top Rank banner, and the plan is to pit the two against each other later this year in a super fight -- provided each passes this formidable test.

Thanks for your interest in the mission of Berea College. We are in so many ways an institution unlike any other: a residential liberal arts school that does not charge tuition; a college that hires every student it admits; the first interracial and co-educational school in the South; and a school that firmly and intentionally imbeds itself in the region of Appalachia even while drawing students from all over the country and the world.
As such, our identity is more singular, and our mission is more complex than most schools, and the only way to really capture them is through what we call our Great Commitments. These are encapsulated in a statement first formulated in the 1960s and very occasionally rearticulated since then. As a moving account of the essence of Berea College, I recommend the Great Commitments for your consideration and further interest.
Lyle D. Roelofs
The Great Commitments of Berea College
Berea College, founded by ardent abolitionists and radical reformers, continues today as an educational institution still firmly rooted in its historic purpose "to promote the cause of Christ." Adherence to the College's scriptural foundation, "God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth" (Acts 17:26), shapes the College's culture and programs so that students and staff alike can work toward both personal goals and a vision of a world shaped by Christian values, such as the power of love over hate, human dignity and equality, and peace with justice. This environment frees persons to be active learners, workers, and servers as members of the academic community and as citizens of the world. The Berea experience nurtures intellectual, physical, aesthetic, emotional, and spiritual potentials and with those the power to make meaningful commitments and translate them into action.
To achieve this purpose, Berea College commits itself:
- To provide an educational opportunity primarily for students from Appalachia, black and white, who have great promise and limited economic resources.
- To provide an education of high quality with a liberal arts foundation and outlook.
- To stimulate understanding of the Christian faith and its many expressions and to emphasize the Christian ethic and the motive of service to others.
- To provide for all students through the labor program experiences for learning and serving in community, and to demonstrate that labor, mental and manual, has dignity as well as utility.
- To assert the kinship of all people and to provide interracial education with a particular emphasis on understanding and equality among blacks and whites.
- To create a democratic community dedicated to education and equality for women and men.
- To maintain a residential campus and to encourage in all members of the community a way of life characterized by plain living, pride in labor well done, zest for learning, high personal standards, and concern for the welfare of others.
- To serve the Appalachian region primarily through education but also by other appropriate services.
The Great Commitments were formed around the goals of Berea. We acknowledge their challenge and we accept these commitments as our responsibility for generations of Bereans.

Century of Class Notes
the most popular section in the Smith
Alumnae Quarterly,
or in most alumnae magazines, for that matter. The class
notespages, toward the back of every edition,
of snippets telling of milestones in the lives of alumnae, divided by class.
Class notes report big moments:
marriages, job assignments, childrens births,
grandchildren, travel, notable accomplishments, awards, advanced degrees, honors
and accolades, and of course, deaths.
But as John MacMillan, editorial
director of alumnae communications, explains, Smiths class notes are unlike any other.
They go beyond the standard things. Smith women are wonderfully candid and honest
about their lives.
MacMillan would know. He spent
the early part of his career at Smith editing class notes. Class notes are a conversation among classmates and friends, he
says. Its the equivalent of being back in your house at Smith and sitting around
the dinner table discussing your life.
Taken cumulatively, class notes
about an alumna add up to a record of an entire life.
is exactly what is contained in the class notes archive,
a card catalog collection of all class notes as published
in all the SAQs from 1906, when the magazine first appeared,
up to the early 2000s, when the system was digitized.
to the meticulous work of Alumnae Association staffers and
student interns during most the 20th century, every clipping
from class notes is pasted chronologically on cards pertaining
to alumnae from each class. Thousands of cards fill a bank
of filing cabinets in the basement of the Alumnae House,
each one providing snapshots of a life at different stages.
From 1924: Marjorie
Adams 22, after a wonderful
year in the Green Mountain State (which I adore!) is taking
the hygiene course at Wellesley, and is most enthusiastic
about it. Adams card also contains her
obituary, from December 5, 1994.
From 1960: Climbing 99 steps daily to their
front door are Helen (Waterman 49) Metcalf and husband John, a lieut. com. in
the Navy. They live in a Japanese house in a Japanese neighborhood and are trying
to master the language.
The class notes archive is available
for viewing by request, but is mostly used by the alumnae
research office.
Those who peek into the archive
might be advised: it can be an addictive and fascinating
activity, like viewing in entirety the lives of Smith women
from above, the big and small moments that touched and changed
From 1948: Margery (Hall 42) Howard is house hunting for the 4th time
in 2 ½ years. Summer 1998: Margery Hall Howard sends greetings from ice-bound
ME. When she wrote, her section of Yarmouth had been without power for less
than 48 hours. I should have chosen this January to visit 2 married grandchildren
in Maui. She adds, Didnt we have a great Reunion?
From 1906: Gertrude (Feidler 06) Mewborn has a daughter Eugenia, who will enter
Smith in 1926. 1950: Gertrude (Feidler) Mewborn and husband rambled around
Mexico and Cal., also visited Virginia City, the rejuvenated ghost town.
Wandering through the class notes archive is always fascinating, says MacMillan. There
is so much history there. Some alumnae have been writing into the magazine, sharing
their news, every year since they graduated. You get caught up in the stories
that these cards tell.
As years pass and more class
notes are added to the digital archive, the ultimate fate
of the card catalog archive in the Alumnae House is uncertain.
