Seattle (sēăt´əl), city (1990 pop. 516,259), seat of King co., W Wash., built on seven hills, between Elliott Bay of Puget Sound and Lake Washington; inc. 1869. Seattle, the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, is the region's commercial, financial, transportation, and industrial hub and a major port of entry, important in both East Asian and Alaskan trade. A center of aircraft manufacturing and shipbuilding since World War II, the city is a major center for the Boeing Company, which employs a significant number of residents, as does the Microsoft Corp. in nearby Redmond. There are also major electronics, banking, insurance, biomedical, food-processing, and lumber industries. Steel, textiles, clothing, metal and glass products, and beer are among the products manufactured in the city, which has an international airport.
Settled in 1851–52, Seattle remained a small lumber town until the coming of the Great Northern Railway in 1893. Despite strikes, anti-Chinese riots, and a fire in 1889, growth was rapid. The city became a boomtown with the 1897 Alaska gold rush and developed into the nation's chief link with Alaska. It grew further with the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (1909), the opening of the Panama Canal (1914), and the completion (1917) of a canal and locks making the city both a saltwater and a freshwater port. Aiding its industrial growth was the presence of coal in the area and the development of hydroelectric power. Long a center of radical labor movements, Seattle was the scene of a major general strike (1919) led by the Industrial Workers of the World. During the 1960s, Seattle's port expanded enormously; it now has numerous major terminals, a 600-boat commercial fishing terminal, and a huge marina for private boats. In 2001 an earthquake did significant damage to the city, mainly in the historic Pioneer Square area.
Situated between the majestic Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, with Mt. Rainier to the southeast and Mt. Baker to the northeast, Seattle is not far from many national and state parks and recreation areas. The city is a cultural center with numerous museums and art galleries, including a Frank Gehry–designed rock music museum; the Museum of History & Industry ( "Mohai," 2012) located in an imaginatively revamped 1942 armory; a variety of theater and musical organizations; and an arboretum, a zoo, and the Central Library (2004, by Rem Koolhaas). Its symphony orchestra performs in Benaroya Hall (1998) and its opera and ballet in McCaw Hall (2003). The city's professional sports teams include the Mariners (American League baseball) and Seahawks (National Football League). It is the seat of the Univ. of Washington, Seattle Univ., and Seattle Pacific Univ. Seattle was the site of the 1962 world's fair. That fair's symbol—the 600-ft (183-m) Space Needle—is a skyline landmark. Also remaining from the fair are the Pacific Science Center and a cultural and recreational park; the first publicly operated U.S. monorail connects the park with the downtown.

Palladium-catalyzed Reactions
August 01, 2011
The 2011 undergraduate students in Dr. Amick's laboratory are designing new palladium-catalyzed reactions for organic synthesis.
Their motto: "We design organic reactions that are relatively bench-top stable, relatively inexpensive, and are easy to perform." The new reactions they design will be employed to synthesize large flat and bowl-shaped molecules, which can be used in nanotechnology, organic electronics, and organic photovoltaics (solar cells).

Boeing 737-500
A powerful midget
The Boeing 737-500 was used in a hopper function on less heavily frequented routes. Its 31 meters overall length and seating accommodation for 120 passengers also make it the smallest classic-version 737 jet flying with Lufthansa. Only Lufthansa's regional jets have smaller capacities. Its big sister, the 737-300, also in service with Lufthansa, flies both short- and medium-haul routes. Boeing introduced the original 737 in 1967 and has been developing and updating it ever since. The 737 – in all its generations and versions – is said to be the most successful commercial passenger aircraft family in the world. October 2016, we came to the end of an era, when the Boeing 737 retired after 48 years of faithful service in the air.

Cryptix export law
Export law for the software Cryptix.
1 : Summary :
This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to allow the export and reexport of any encryption commodity or software to individuals, commercial firms, and other non-government end-users in all destinations. It also allows exports and reexports of retail encryption commodities and software to all end-users in all destinations. Post-export reporting requirements are streamlined, and changes are made to reflect amendments to the Wassenaar Arrangement. This rule implements the encryption policy announced by the White House on September 16 and will simplify U.S. encryption export rules. Restrictions on terrorist supporting states (Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan or Syria), their nationals and other sanctioned entities are not changed by this rule.
2 : Background :
On September 16, 1999, the U.S. announced a new approach to its encryption export control policy. This approach rests on three principles: a technical review of encryption products in advance of sale, a streamlined post-export reporting system and a process that permits the government to review exports of strong encryption to foreign governments. The full range of national interests continue to be served by this new policy: supporting law enforcement and national security, protecting privacy and promoting electronic commerce. Encryption export controls will be simplified and U.S. companies will have new opportunities to sell their products in the global marketplace.This regulation also implements changes for encryption items made by the Wassenaar Arrangement, including: conversion of Category 5- Part 2 (Information Security) of the Commerce Control List (CCL) to a positive list; creation of a Cryptography Note and removal of encryption software from the General Software Note; decontrol of 64-bit mass market software and commodities, including components; and decontrol of certain 512-bit key management products.

Spartanburg County will likely miss a state-imposed deadline for reporting mental illness cases to a nationwide database accessed during background checks for gun ownership.
Spartanburg County will likely miss a state-imposed deadline for reporting mental illness cases to a nationwide database accessed during background checks for gun ownership.
A bill passed in May 2013 required state probate courts to report all cases where a person has been adjudicated mentally incompetent or involuntarily committed to a mental health facility. The reporting requirement began Aug. 1, 2013, and probate courts were given one year to report 10 years of backlogged cases.
With the Aug. 1 deadline swiftly approaching, Spartanburg County Probate Judge Ponda Caldwell said her office will not be able to comply.
"We are just doing what we can, as we can," she said.
Of the estimated 9,000 mental health cases that had to be considered for reporting, Caldwell estimates there's about 2,500 left to be reviewed. Not every case has to be reported, but Spartanburg County does not have the technology to sort the files digitally, making the task time-consuming and laborious.
"We have had to put physical hands on every file," she said.
The mental health records are kept locked away in a small closet in the probate court. The documents are subject to federal laws pertaining to health care confidentiality, so Caldwell said she is very particular about who reviews the information. A trusted community volunteer was helping early in the process but had to stop because of family commitments. Since then, Caldwell herself has been handling the task, usually on weekends.
"With the regular volume of probate work coming in, I didn't think I could take my regular staff away," she said.
Caldwell said she hopes to have the work completed by November.
"You just work until you get the job done. … I feel like we've done as good of a job as we're able to," she said.
Probate judges in Cherokee and Union counties said they have finished their reporting, but note their burden was lighter because of the population of their respective counties.
"It was very time-consuming," said Judge Josh Queen in Cherokee County. "I put one clerk on it and that was pretty much all she did for I don't know how long."
Judge Donna Cudd of Union County said she handled most of the reporting herself after hours and on weekends, and estimated she had about 1,000 files to review. Union County does not have facilities for mental commitment, so judges in other counties handle most hearings for Union County residents and do the reporting, Cudd said.
Federal law bans those adjudicated mentally incompetent or involuntarily committed from owning a gun, but enforcement relies on states reporting those individuals to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. The reporting is inconsistent. As of October 2011, 13 years after NICS was launched by the FBI, South Carolina had only reported 17 cases, according to Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
South Carolina's inconsistent history of reporting mental health cases made conquering the 10-year backlog even more difficult because the State Law Enforcement Division wasn't set up to efficiently receive the information. Some counties gained access to encrypted email to send the sensitive information, but others — including Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union — were left sending faxes.
"It was awful," Queen said. "You'd run 10 files through there and get a busy signal."
The reporting requirement went into effect after police said 28-year-old Alice Boland brandished a weapon outside a Charleston prep school in February 2013. When confronted by security, police said Boland tried to fire the weapon but was unsuccessful because the safety was on. Despite a record of mental illness that should have precluded her from having the weapon, Boland purchased the gun only days before.
"I've got a kid in first grade, so it kind of struck a chord with me," Queen said.
Rep. Eddie Tallon, R-Spartanburg, who sponsored the reporting bill, said South Carolina narrowly averted another Newtown-like incident and he hoped the law would keep guns from the hands of the mentally unstable.
Cudd agreed, but said she worries it is more likely a mentally unstable person will find a gun at home, and there is little that can be done to prevent that.
"Anything that you can do to save a life is worthwhile," she said. "… There are many scenarios you can't prevent, but if you save one life, it's worth it."

LMC "Freezes" Patients with New Cooling Treatment
Lexington Medical Center "Freezes" Heart Attack Patient
Lexington Medical Center is having success with a revolutionary new technology for heart attack patients called Therapeutic Hypothermia. The innovative procedure lowers body temperatures to help people who have suffered cardiac arrest make a full recovery.
Therapeutic Hypothermia is for patients who have suffered cardiac arrest and been resuscitated. Doctors inject the patient with cold saline and apply pads to the body to cool the patient to approximately 91 degrees. A normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. The patient stays at the low temperature for 18 to 24 hours. Then, doctors warm the patient gradually. The idea is that lowering body temperature will help limit neurological damage and cell death that can occur after cardiac arrest.
Lexington Medical Center emergency physician Dr. Robert Mearns has researched the procedure. "You see a lot of remarkable outcomes," he said.
So far, Therapeutic Hypothermia has been a success at Lexington Medical Center with a 66-year-old Lexington County woman who suffered a heart attack at her home in December. Lexington Medical Center began the procedure on her in the hospital's emergency room.
For centuries, people have advocated cooling the body to improve recovery in certain situations. The Greek physician Hippocrates, the namesake of the Hippocratic Oath, advocated the packing of wounded soldiers in snow and ice. Napoleon's surgeon noted that wounded soldiers recovering in the cold had higher survival rates than those kept warm near a fire. And medical experts have found that children who fall through ice can survive extended durations in cold water. Now, that knowledge has weaved its way into modern medicine.
Research suggests Therapeutic Hypothermia may help some victims of stroke, brain injury and trauma, too.
Lexington Medical Center performs the procedure with equipment called "Arctic Sun" manufactured by Medivance.
ABC World News Tonight did a story about therapeutic hypothermia recently. Search under "Putting Cardiac Arrest on Ice."
And a recent New York Times story reported ambulances are bypassing New York City hospitals that do not offer therapeutic hypothermia.

Bahrain survives scare; remains key banking hub
Manama, February 21, 2013
By David French
When Ahli United Bank, Bahrain's largest lender by market value, announced this week a rise in profits for 2012, it was more than good news for the bank alone. It was a sign that the island kingdom is surviving as a regional financial centre.
Two years after protesters blockaded Bahrain's financial district, political tensions still weigh on its banking industry. This is deterring some investment and inflows of money, and making it harder for Bahrain to compete with other centres such as Dubai.
But contrary to fears at the time, a mass exodus of financial firms from Bahrain has not happened and local banks are proving resilient, allowing the island to remain a hub for financial services in the Gulf.
Bahraini authorities have mounted an active campaign to persuade financial institutions to stay in the country. Economic support to Bahrain from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states has helped that campaign.
"Though Bahrain's 2011 political crisis weakened growth potential and damaged the country's reputation as a business services hub, we believe a post-crisis status quo has been established," Standard & Poor's said in late January as it upgraded the outlook for Bahrain's credit rating, a low-investment grade BBB, to stable from negative.
The survival of Bahrain's financial industry is important to the country of about 1.3 million people; its oil resources are not as lavish as those of some of its Gulf neighbours.
Bahrain's financial sector makes up 17.1 percent of its economy, which had an output of $29 billion in 2011, according to the latest central bank figures. The industry is a major employer of local citizens, with Bahrainis accounting for 66 percent of the sector's workforce.
When protests closed down Bahrain Financial Harbour in the days following the outbreak of unrest on Valentine's Day 2011, forcing bankers to work from other locations, the fear was that many might never come back.
Some banks did choose to leave the island in the aftermath of the protests. The biggest blow was the departure of France's Credit Agricole, which said in late 2011 that it was moving its regional headquarters and about 60 staff to Dubai.
Japan's Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi moved most of its people to Dubai in mid-2012, leaving a small presence behind.
However, worries about a disastrous hollowing-out of Bahrain's banking industry were misplaced.
Assets in Bahrain's banking system have fallen to $194.9 billion last November from $222.2 billion at the end of 2010, just before the uprising. This contrasts with growth in other Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but does not suggest a mass pull-out of money from the country.
The number of banks and financial institutions licensed in Bahrain has remained roughly steady; it was 407 at the end of the third quarter of last year, against 406 at end-2010, central bank data shows.
A trickle of departures has also been offset by the granting of new licences, some to foreign institutions; 14 licences were awarded in 2012. Global asset manager PineBridge Investments opened its Middle East headquarters in Manama last month.
"They've done a good job preventing a mass exodus of financial firms," said Jeffrey Singer, chief executive of the body managing the rival Dubai International Financial Centre.
Many factors are behind Bahrain's survival. Abdulkarim Bucheery, chairman of the Bahrain Association of Banks, an industry body, cited an established infrastructure and regulatory framework and a qualified local workforce.
Bahrain benefits from hosting the headquarters of the influential Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions, whose standards are used in whole or in part by regulators of Islamic finance around the world.
Boyd Winton, director of financial services at Bahrain's Economic Development Board, said the island could co-exist with rapidly expanding centres elsewhere in the region. He noted that London, Paris and Frankfurt all worked as banking hubs despite their proximity.
"Just because one place is a financial centre doesn't mean another place can't have a financial industry," he said.
Pledges of financial support from Bahrain's wealthy Arab neighbours have helped; those countries undertook in March 2011 to provide a combined $10 billion in aid over 10 years. This appears to have reassured Saudi and other foreign depositors in Bahrain that it is safe to keep money there.
Ahli United Bank, which saw its 2012 net profit climb 8.1 percent to $335.7 million, is among several Bahraini banks that have so far announced higher 2012 earnings. In a report last week, the government said bank lending began to pick up last year, setting the stage for strong economic growth in 2013.
"I think 2012 will start to see the beginning of the growth cycle...and I think 2013 will be building on that growth," said Bucheery, also chief executive of local lender BBK.
However, there is a split between the health of local, retail-focused banks and Bahrain's investment houses, which mostly operate under Islamic principles.
These firms relied on fees from arranging local real estate deals and are struggling to reinvent themselves after the uprising compounded the collapse of the property market. One of the most prominent examples is Gulf Finance House, which has required multiple debt restructurings since 2010.
The Central Bank of Bahrain has been active in recent months in trying to strengthen these institutions, asking them to increase capital, encouraging revenue diversification and, in some cases, merge, Winton said.
Nevertheless, the future health of Bahrain as a banking market will not be assured as long as the political unrest continues. Ahli United's chairman Fahad Al-Rajaan said the bank's 2012 profit growth came despite a "continuing uncertain and challenging business and operating environment", which would persist into 2013.
Although the current, relatively low level of unrest rarely has a direct impact on the lives of expatriate bankers in Bahrain, it is not an incentive to relocate families to the island.
And the unrest may make it harder for authorities, preoccupied with the political crisis, to respond to financial competition. S&P said in its January report that there had been a "relegation of economic policymaking" in Bahrain since 2011. - Reuters

Chalk talk: Saints vs. Dolphins Q&A
Prior to the Saints' Monday night contest versus Miami in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, WDSU Sports Anchors Fletcher Mackel and Sharief Ishaq as well as Digital Editor Richard Fischer answered some questions about the game.
Here are five burning questions:
1. Should Mark Ingram be traded and why?
Fletcher: No, trading Mark Ingram makes no sense right now. While Ingram will never be the premier back he was at the University of Alabama, he can still play in the NFL. It's a long season, and the Saints could have injuries, so keeping Ingram makes sense. Remember, in 2010 the Saints dealt with a rash of injuries at running back and played six different guys at that position. Plus, Ingram has no trade value right now. Running backs have become a dime a dozen in the NFL, so his worth is near nothing. This offseason, expect the Saints to make a move with Ingram.
Sharief: He had a good camp and preseason, but the regular season has been a different story. Two games played and only 31 yards. With the possible emergence of Khiry Robinson, it may be time to cut bait and move on.
Richard: Depends on the market. If the Saints can get a draft pick for him (yeah…. A draft pick. Any draft pick), I'd cut my losses and move him. But why would Ingram have any trade value right now? He plays one of the least important positions on the field and has shown very little so far in his career. I don't think they can trade him right now.
2. Which individual Saints defender has impressed you the most so far this season?
Fletcher: Cam Jordan. The third year pro out of the University of California-Berkeley led the Saints in sacks last season with 8 1/2. The switch from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 was a perfect move for Jordan since he played in a 3-4 in college. Jordan is the leader of the Saints "no-name" defense and a guy who could earn his first Pro Bowl berth this season.
Sharief: A lot of people would probably say Cam Jordan, which is a good answer because of what he's doing for the defensive line, but I'm going with Kenny Vaccaro. The rookie has already made a big impact with a tipped pass to help beat the Falcons and an interception against the Cardinals. He's also physical, which is something that helps that Saints' defense.
Richard: Tough call with so many options, but I'm going with Kenny Vaccaro. As a rookie, Vaccaro leads the team with 16 solo tackles through his first three games. With Roman Harper out with an injury, he started in his spot versus Arizona and played extremely well and even got an interception for lagniappe. I've been very impressed with his play, and it looks like the Saints hit a home run in Round 1.
3. The Dolphins are a surprising 3-0. Are they for real?
Fletcher: The Dolphins are for real. I think Miami goes to the playoffs this season. New England is 4-0 overall, but they've looked shaky. Even if the Dolphins can't surpass the mighty Patriots and win the AFC East, they will get into the playoffs as a wild card team. Joe Philbin was a tremendous coordinator in Green Bay, and Ryan Tannehill is a solid quarterback. I'm not saying Miami will become the next Green Bay, but the Dolphins have staying power, they are not a flash-in-the-pan team.
Sharief: Before the season started, I would've said no, but they're starting to change my mind. They've had some impressive wins at Indy and a last-second win over the Falcons. Right now, I think they're for real and will contend to win the AFC East.
Richard: Are they better than last season? Yes. Do they have potential to improve in future seasons? Yes. Will they make the playoffs this year? No. So I guess I'm somewhere in the middle about whether they're for real. I don't think they'll win the division, and I favor Kansas City and Indy/Houston/Tennessee (Jake Locker injury pending) as potential wild card teams. But this team struck gold in its offseason acquisitions and looks like it has the right quarterback in place. I like this team. But not yet.
4. Which matchup are you looking forward to most?
Fletcher: Drew Brees versus Brent Grimes. Grimes always gave Brees fits when he was with Atlanta. The Dolphins defense has been solid and Grimes is a key cog. Plus, he'll be called upon heavily to give the Dolphins a working of Brees' tendencies.
Sharief: Mike Wallace vs. Keenan Lewis. Both of these guys played on the same high school team at O. Perry Walker and with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's gonna be fun to see them face off against each other for the first time.
Richard: I'd like to see the Saints protect Brees a little better after surrendering 10 sacks through three games. Want an alarming stat? The Cardinals sacked Brees four times last week. They have three in their other three games combined. This is a problem. The lack of rushing attack allows opponents to tee off on New Orleans, and they'll need to be better in this department in order to truly be an elite NFL team.
What is your score prediction and why?
Fletcher: 34-14 Saints. I like the Dolphins a lot, but they're young and the Superdome is a very difficult place to play. Offensively, the Saints have yet to shift into high gear. They find that gear tonight, and the defense continues to shine.
Sharief: With the game being in the Dome and knowing how good Brees is in prime time, I'll go with the Saints. Dolphins 20, Saints 27
Richard: With three wins already in the bag and tough road games at Chicago and New England looming in the next two weeks, if this game were at noon on a Sunday, I would say it would have trap game/letdown game written all over it. But Monday night in the Dome after Saints' fans have had plenty of hours to get hydrated, no chance. I expect Ryan Tannehill to have a bump in the road in the midst of a spectacular sophomore season, and New Orleans' offense does enough for a comfortable win. The Dome will be electric, and the Saints will feed off of it all night. Saints win 28-17.

So we know the Cubs have traded away Geovany Soto to the Rangers and packaged Paul Maholm and Reed Johnson to the Braves, but what did we get back. The Cub got back three pitchers, which we knew they wanted to get deeper at as an organization. Here is a quick look at the pitchers we go back.
Starting with the Paul Maholm and Reed Johnson to the Braves deal.
Arodys Vizcaino
Vizcaino is 21-year old right-handed pitcher who has missed the entire season due to Tommy-John surgery was ranked #3 in the Braves system and #54 prospect in baseball according to Jonathan Mayo. Last year Vizcaino was said to be one of the four untouchable arms in the Braves system. The Cubs are taking a big gamble that he will come back healthy and be durable, but for Reed Johnson and Paul Maholm it is a great chance to take in my opinion. His fastball sits in the low to mid 90's with a plus changeup and good curve ball. Hope he comes back healthy and at 21, he should have a great chance to. Until he does the Cubs will hope he can be a starter, but time will tell.
Jaye Chapman
Chapman is a 25-year old RH relief pitcher who is currently in Triple-A. He is 3-6 with 7 saves and a 3.52 ERA this season. He also has 60 strikeouts in 29 walks in 53.2 innings. He is not a huge prospect, but hope he can be a quality arm at sometime out of the pen. I like that he is averaging over a strikeout an inning. We will see, he obviously wasn't the centerpiece of the deal with the Braves, but to get some quality out of the pen would be nice.
Now to the Soto deal.
Jacob Brigham
Brigham is a 24-year old RH starting pitcher who is currently pitching in Double-A. He is currently 5-5 with 4.28 ERA. He has started all 21 games he has pitched in striking out 116 in 124 innings. His last two outing have been really good and the Cubs obviously see something there. He hasn't had great numbers yet, but we will see what happens. As we know the pitching depth is not great for the Cubs so getting a pitcher for Soto, who has been a disappointment the last couple years is a fine return in my mind.
The Cubs needed to get more pitching depth and they did that with these deals. They didn't move any of their big names, although Maholm has been pitching really good and it seems they got decent return, especially with Vizcaino coming over even though it's after Tommy-John. When you work with prospects you never know if it was a good return or not for a few years. I'm sure there will be more coming tonight or tomorrow, so we will as always keep you updated.
Thanks for Reading,

To catch you up: The romance culminated late last night in a trailer-park interview of Levi conducted by a daring Associated Press reporter. Standing outside his home, Levi confirmed a report in Star yesterday that he and Bristol had called it quits "a while ago."
The Star story that got the ball rolling yesterday morning was a "world exclusive" interview with Johnston's trouble-making sister Mercede, who told the magazine—in exchange, perhaps, for some Oxycontin pills or whatever other painkillers are commonly used as chattel in Alaska?—that Bristol had cut Johnston out of their son Tripp's life. "She tells him he can't take the baby to our house because she doesn't want him around 'white trash'!" Mercede told the magazine. ("Yeah, we could name her 'Mercedes,' but I think 'Mercede' just sounds a little classier," one of Mercede's parents once said.) Mercede was the first to warn America of the brewing tension between the Palins and the Johnstons in January, when she posted on her MySpace page that Palin considers Johston to be "white trash" and he newest grandson half-white-trash. She likes to say "white trash."
In a nugget reserved for the print edition of Star, Mercede claims that Palin sent Johnston a text message reading thusly: "I hate you, and when I found out I was pregnant I wished the baby wasn't yours." Wouldn't it be fantastic if it weren't?
Red lights immediately started flashing in the offices of People, which dispatched a reporter to the Alaskan wilderness posthaste. By 5:40 p.m., the magazine had two anonymous sources confirming the report and rather snidely mentioning that "it's common knowledge" so it's not such a big deal, Star magazine.
What an epic waste it is that none of this was caught on camera, that our children will have no Bristol Palin confessionals to watch on DVD, that there won't be a cast reunion where Julie Chen makes us wait for the full hour before asking Bristol and Levi what really happened in the trailer that night when they ripped off their hot mics.
It is not too late, Palins and Johnstons. American Idol is sliding big time. We need new heroes.

As the end of the "regular season" Manny Flick regatta series approaches, the Mount St. Joseph Academy crew appears to be rounding into shape for the major medal races in May. Last Sunday, in the fourth of the five Flick races, the Magic put on a strong performance pretty much across the board.
In the early phase of the competition, the school's promising crop of freshmen continued to excel under the guidance of new freshman/novice coach Jen Fasy, an MSJ alum ('03) who has been an assistant coach with the program since 2009. Between them, the four boatloads of ninth-graders produced three first-place finishes and one second.
The freshman four (Olivia Kylander-cox, Grace Little-stroke, Mia Fitzpatrick, Ella Perry, Audrey Ezzo) kicked off the action in a race that took an unusual turn. Several of the entries quickly got so far out of alignment that officials stopped the race a few hundred meters down the course, evened the boats out in the river, and restarted the contest from there.
Of course, this resulted in unusually low times, with the Magic winning in four minutes, 33.83 seconds, well ahead of the runner-up, Montclair (N.J.) High School (4:44.56), and third-place Lower Merion (5:12.89).
The novice eights then raced in the first two of four flights in their category. In the "A" boat, coxswain Emily Woodrow urged Demi Simms (stroke), Rachel Sandquist, Dana Mischler, Shannon Hughes, Cait Hagan, Lauren Scheffey, Alex Uzzo, and Erin McGreevey on to victory in the first flight, and their time of 5:26.92 held up as the fastest mark overall out of the 20 crews in their class.
MSJ novice "B" was the runner-up in the second flight with a time of 5:46.01 and a line-up consisting of Kathleen Brooks (cox), Taylor Czerpak (stroke), Anna Gallagher, Liz DeGroat, Maddy Mulligan, Julia Bushold, Katie Zimmerman, Brianna McBride, and Victoria Summerville.
The designated freshman eight turned in the top overall time out of two flights, winning in 5:16 flat ahead of the runner-up boat from Holy Spirit High School (Absecon, N.J.), which was not particularly close at 5:27.21. The Magic contingent here was Lindsey Maiale (cox), Olivia Tice-Carroll (stroke), Christina Knox, Julianna Hunt, Maddie Lauinger, Brooke McMahon, Maddie Carlton, Katelin Cordero, and Zoe Ramos.
Mount St. Joe's JV four competed in the second of three flights, and that group also occupied the middle ground in terms of the overall time scale. Third out of their section, in 6:03.63, were Bridget Walsh (cox), Emma Tenzinger (stroke), Hanna Leonard, Nina Lawlor, and Katie Gresko.
Their colleagues in the Magic's JV eight placed fourth in what was decidedly the faster of two flights in that classification. Here, a time of 5:15.52 was turned in by oarswomen Jocelyn Ziemniak (stroke), Ariene Merkel, Christina Vosbikian, Jenny DiPietro, Quinn Devore, Alaina Hunt, Kate Stromberg, and Alana Cianciulli under the direction of cox Megan Mirabella.
Holy Spirit's lightweight eight was the scholastic national champion in 2012 and a high number of returning rowers has made them the cream of the class so far this spring, but the Magic have been getting closer. The gap between the two was more than 15 seconds in the third Manny Flick, and last Sunday the Mounties got it down to six seconds, clocking in second at 5:18.58 to Spirit's winning time of 5:12.63.
Mount varsity crews coach Mike McKenna said in their two most recent outings, the MSJ lights began well in the earlier race, and then on Sunday recovered well from a so-so start.
"The idea now is to put the best parts of those races together," he said. "They're having fun, and they're starting to believe in themselves."
This easy-on-the-scales ensemble for the Mount is made up of Emily McHugh (stroke), Bridget Fitzpatrick, Michela Karrash, Maura O'Donnell, Kate Mirabella, Liz McKernan, Lexi Meister, and Abby Shreero, with Annie Tenzinger tethered to the cox box.
The day before the fourth Manny Flick, Mount St. Joe trailered their boats down to Delaware to participate in one of St. Andrew's School's Noxontown regattas, and the Mounties lost to Holy Spirit not only in the lightweight eight event, but also in the varsity eight race.
Washington's National Cathedral School won the V-8 race in 5:12.2, while Spirit was second in 5:14.3 and the Magic were third in 5:16.3.
Overall, the MSJ flagship has done remarkably well in light of the fact that eight of the nine members of last year's impressive V-8 graduated.
"Right from the beginning of the fall," McKenna related, "we discussed with them the fact that they may not have the horsepower to compete with the top crews, so they'd better be efficient. That can be a double-edged sword, because if you're focused intently on the technical aspects of the stroke, you're not necessarily going all-out all the time. That's part of the fine-tuning that we're doing now."
In Sunday's Flick race, the Mount varsity was slotted in lane three in the middle of the river, and was leading a relatively tight race two-thirds of the way through. However, with a few hundred meters to go, Spirit made a push on the inside in lane one and appeared to be making headway. Onlookers could see the point where the Mount sensed the threat and countered, and the Magic prevailed in 5:01.11 while their New Jersey rivals were second in 5:04.53. Spirit had to fight off another Garden State group from Bishop Eustace, which was a close third in 5:04.80.
In this race, the Magic's V-8 line-up (which has undergone a few changes this spring) featured seniors Kait Loftus (seven seat), Kiera McCloy (five), Mary Raggazino (cox), and Emily Ruddy (three), juniors Maddie Lawn (stroke), Lauren Matchett (four), and Leah Ramos (bow), and sophomores Steph Eble (six) and Brynn McGillin (two). A regular member of the crew, junior Natalie Simms, was resting up to recover from some minor wear and tear.
Instead of racing in their own category, the Mount's second eight has been competing in the varsity eight events in all the Flicks so far, and on Sunday they came in fourth in the second flight, in 5:13.90. Here, Alyssa Pagliaro presides as coxswain, setting the tone for Caroline Carbone (stroke), Maddie Wescott, Gwynn Kieffer, Fiona Kelly, Marissa Mulligan, Jacqueline James, Danielle Kosman, and Rachel Heller.
Speaking once more of the somewhat unanticipated success of the varsity eight, McKenna admitted, "To a degree, they're overachieving. It's a very fun crew to work with – no question about it – and we'll see where their ceiling is. I think the ceiling is going to be higher than I thought it was."

Part of the thrill of the NCAA college basketball tournament is filling out the brackets.
Part of the thrill of the NCAA college basketball tournament is filling out the brackets.
During March Madness, 64 teams vie for the championship. There are several rounds during which the brackets get down to 32 teams, the Sweet 16, the Elite Eight and then the Final Four.
Playing off the excitement of the tournaments, the National Endowment for Financial Education and the Financial Planning Association have created an interactive bracket of 32 financial goals that people can use to narrow down the most important money issues they want to address. To complete the bracket online, visit www.financialfour.org.
Just as with the NCAA tournament, there are four major divisions in this financial game:
� Saving and investing
� Values, communication and advice
� Protection and security
� Spending
I like the concept and the game. One of the things people often ask me when it comes to organizing their financial life is: "Where do I start?" There is so much to managing your money, it is hard to figure out what you need to concentrate on in the stressed-out lives many of us lead.
As part of the fun, about 300 financial experts ranked their top financial priorities for Americans to focus on in 2013. Based on their picks, the National Endowment for Financial Education and the Financial Planning Association came up with a Final Four. The winners?
� Live within your means. I agree that this should make it to the Final Four. Actually, I would retitle this "live below your means." You only have a limited amount of money. To meet your goals, you have to reduce your expenses so that you get to keep some of what you make for savings.
� Protect yourself with adequate insurance. Thirty-nine percent of U.S. adults do not have life insurance, according to a survey released last year by InsuranceQuotes.com. If you put this in your winning bracket, don't just focus on life insurance. Determine what other insurance you might need. For instance, if you rent, do you have renter's insurance? Only 34 percent of renters have renter's insurance, InsuranceQuotes found in another survey.
� Tackle debt. Stop promising yourself to get out of debt and, instead, do it. I suggest you list your debts starting with the lowest balance and knock that debt off first. Often getting rid of some debt quickly motivates people to continue on their quest to be debt-free.
� Build an emergency savings account. If you live below your means, you'll likely have the money to start an emergency fund. Your tax refund is a great emergency starter amount. So far this year, the average refund is about $2,900.
Once you finish the bracket, you can go to www.smartaboutmoney.org, which is a program of the National Endowment for Financial Education. On the site, you can look for more information to meet your goals.

Shelter to bury 200 dogs from animal abuse case
Baltimore Humane Society sheds light on animal hoarding with burial
The Baltimore Humane Society is bringing to life the reality of animal hoarding as it makes plans to bury more than 200 dogs at its memorial park.
The shelter, located in Reisterstown, will hold the mass burial at its Nicodemus Memorial Park at 1601 Nicodemus Road at noon Tuesday.
The BHS said the burial follows a Rockville woman's conviction on animal neglect charges. Officials said Judy Cahill kept hundreds of dogs at her home over a 30-year period. The BHS said the ashes of the more than 200 dogs that were found in boxes in the home will be buried Tuesday. They were believed to have been Cahill's favorites.
The humane society called animal hoarding a "mental illness" that affects tens of thousands of animals each year that are kept in appalling conditions, which can lead to malnutrition, untreated medical conditions, open sores and diseases, as well as psychological distress.
According to the Animal Legal Defense League, about 72 percent of hoarders are women and that the most common animal victims are cats and dogs.
Cahill has been barred from having an animal for 10 years. She's also been added to the website Pet-Abuse.com.
If you suspect someone of hoarding animals, you're urged to call police and/or animal control to help. You can also call social services to get help for the alleged hoarder.

College Football Bowl Roundup
Recommended Video:
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Southern California wrapped up its rocky season by rolling over Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Cody Kessler passed for 344 yards and a bowl-record four touchdowns in the Trojans' 45-20 victory over the 21st-ranked Bulldogs on Saturday under Clay Helton, their third head coach in less than three months.
Marqise Lee and Nelson Agholor had two touchdown catches apiece, Javorius Allen rushed two more scores, and the Trojans (10-4) answered every question about their motivation by dancing on the sideline while routing a BCS contender for the storied program's first postseason victory since 2009.
Derek Carr passed for 217 yards and two TDs in his final game at Fresno State (11-2), which fell behind 35-6 at halftime and failed to secure the first 12-win season in school history.
From Kessler's smooth offense to a dynamic defensive effort against Fresno State's FBS-best passing game, USC was uniformly outstanding in its only game under Helton. The offensive coordinator filled the one-game gap between coaches Ed Orgeron and Steve Sarkisian on the Trojans' coaching carousel, but USC picked up right where Orgeron left off after its desultory start to the season under Lane Kiffin.
Kessler even outdid Carr, his fellow Bakersfield native and friend, setting the Las Vegas Bowl record for TD passes before halftime and finishing 22 for 30. Carr, the nation's leader in yards passing and total offense, became the fourth player in NCAA history to surpass 5,000 yards passing and 50 TD passes during the game. He went 30 for 54 under constant pressure.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Jared Roberts made a 41-yard field goal as time expired and Colorado State overcame a 22-point deficit to beat Washington State in the New Mexico Bowl.
With less than 2 minutes left, Colorado State's Shaquil Barrett forced Cougars running back Jeremiah Laufasa to fumble at the Cougars 33. That set up Kapri Bibbs' 1-yard run scoring and Donnell Alexander's two-point conversion run that tied it with 33 seconds left. Then, Teondray Caldwell fumbled a kickoff return at the 24, setting up the winning field goal.
Garrett Grayson threw for 369 yards and Bibbs ran for 169 yards and three touchdowns for Colorado State (8-6). The Rams overcame three early turnovers.
Connor Halliday threw touchdown passes to six receivers and finished with 410 yards for Washington State (6-7). Washington State rushed for minus-10 yards total.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Adam Muema rushed for 230 yards and three touchdowns and Quinn Kaehler threw two scoring passes in San Diego State's victory over Buffalo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
The Aztecs pulled away early, scoring three touchdowns in a 5:24 span stretching from the end of the first half into the third quarter. The scoring spree was fueled by two costly Buffalo turnovers, the first an interception just before halftime that set up Kaehler's 25-yard touchdown toss to Dylan Denso.
The Bulls then fumbled on the opening kick in third quarter. The Aztecs (8-5, 6-2 Mountain West) scored five plays later when Kaehler fired an 11-yard TD to Adam Roberts to go up 35-10.
Not much went right for the Bulls (8-5, 6-2 Mid-American Conference), playing in the second bowl game in the team's 100-year history. Buffalo had three turnovers and just 309 total yards.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Corey Trim returned an interception 82 yards for a touchdown, Hunter Stover hit a go-ahead 27-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, and Louisiana-Lafayette held off Tulane for its third straight New Orleans Bowl victory.
Tulane set up for a 48-yard field goal try in the final seconds, but Cairo Santos, the 2012 Lou Groza award winner as the nation's best kicker, missed just left.
Elijah McGuire and Alonzo Harris each had touchdowns runs for the Ragin' Cajuns (9-4), who led 21-0 on Trim's interception of Nick Montana. But Tulane rallied to tie it at 21 on three TD runs by Orleans Darkwa.
Terrance Broadway played with a cast on his broken right -- and throwing -- arm, passing for 143 yards and running for 33. Devin Powell replaced Montana in the first half and passed for 223 yards for Tulane (7-6).

BHousel1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 278 diseños de 49 diseñadores freelance.
Ditto Health
We're a startup company with a big vision - reducing the waste in the medical industry by putting paper forms online and making it easy to find doctors and choose the info that you share with them.
Instead of filling out a form every time you see the doctor, patients will fill the form out on our website once and choose which doctors receive that information. It's easy and saves time, money, and paper. We host the forms and encrypt all the data.
We are a two-person startup that is currently beta testing the product and looking to launch soon. At this point we are just gaining traction and building relationships, and we want to develop a trustworthy brand and grow.
We're looking great ideas and we may request follow-on work once the winning design is chosen.
Our target users include both health care providers and patients, many of whom are not tech-savvy. This is a new service, so we're looking for a modern fresh design, but nothing too crazy or trendy, as health care is still a somewhat stodgy industry.
The design must appeal equally to the hip urbanite using our app on an iPhone, but also the middle-aged skeptic in a rural town who may be uncomfortable entering personal information on the web.
The logo must be simple and convey trust, professionalism, integrity. This logo will be used primarily on the website, but also any business cards, stationary, signage, brochures, newsletters, etc. We also need a black and white version of the logo.
We'd like a logo with a recognizable icon that could stand alone (e.g. as a twitter or facebook profile picture), but may also appear next to the name "Ditto Health", "DittoHealth" "dittohealth.com" etc. We haven't chosen any fonts or colors for the logo, icon, or name, so we're looking for ideas.
Not requirements but ideas: We are open to the idea of incorporating images like stacks of papers, folders, and other standard web or medical imagery. We also like the quote glyph ("), as it is easily linked to the word Ditto.
Our prototype website design currently uses bold blue colors (background: #03c highlights: #6cf). Avoid green, as it's generally a bad color in health care designs. Mockups may include some Web2.0 stuff (shadows, reflections) but keep it subtle and don't make it a core design element.
Finally please don't use fonts or images that require additional licensing or intellectual property rights.
Be creative and have fun!
