Sarah "Sally" Hemings (Charles City County, Virginia, circa 1773 – Charlottesville, Virginia, 1835) was an enslaved woman of mixed race owned by President Thomas Jefferson through his wife's inheritance. The youngest of six siblings by the planter John Wayles and his slave Betty Hemings, Hemings was the half-sister of Jefferson's wife Martha Wayles Skelton.[1] The Hemings' and all of Wayles' slaves were inherited by the Jeffersons a year after their marriage and were taken to Monticello. The Hemings children and their descendants were trained as domestic servants and artisans.
In 1787, Sally Hemings at the age of 14 was chosen to accompany Mary (Polly), the youngest daughter of Jefferson, to Paris to rejoin her father; the widower was serving as the United States Ambassador to France. She spent two years there. Hemings and Jefferson are believed to have begun a sexual relationship then or soon after their return to Monticello. She had a total of six children of record born into slavery; four survived to adulthood and were noted for their resemblance to Jefferson. Sally Hemings served in Jefferson's household as a domestic servant until his death.
The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of her children has been known as the Jefferson-Hemings controversy. Following renewed historic analysis and a 1998 DNA study that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of her last son, Eston Hemings, a consensus among historians supports that the widower Jefferson fathered her son Eston Hemings and likely all her children.[2] Some historians disagree.[3]
Even though he was deeply in debt, Jefferson freed all of Sally Hemings' children: Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston, as they came of age. They were seven-eighths European in ancestry, and three of the four entered white society as adults. Their descendants identified as white.[4][5] As the historian Edmund S. Morgan has noted, "Hemings herself was withheld from auction and freed at last by Jefferson's daughter, Martha Jefferson Randolph, who was, of course, her niece."[6] Hemings lived her last nine years with her two younger sons in Charlottesville, and saw a grandchild born in the house her sons owned. After their mother's death in 1835, Eston and Madison Hemings migrated with their families to Chillicothe in the free state of Ohio.

The Bio-Sensing Primer in MAKE Volume 26 opens up the world of human body hacking, pulling together new information and sensor recommendations for detecting brain activity, eye movements, facial expression, muscle activity, respiration, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and more. The article also gives full details on how to build a simple "Truth Meter" that measures stress via skin conductance, and a "Brain Blinker" project, in which an Arduino microcontroller runs LEDs following the signal input from a NeuroSky MindSet, a $200 wireless headset that reads your brainwaves.
For the article, authors Sean Montgomery and Ira Laefsky got NeuroSky to help write an Arduino library for the MindSet, explaining that makers are a good market for their product, and a free source of ideas and R&D. Since then, NeuroSky has also released an Arduino library for their newer MindWave headset, which costs just $100. Good for them! Other manufacturers would do well to follow NeuroSky's example. MAKE is proud to have helped instigate this. May a whole new category of brainwave-enabled applications bloom!

Tuesday's match between Julien Benneteau and Olivier Rochus was held up as an adorable little squirrel found its way onto the court, hungry for acorns and fame. Officials threw tennis balls at the poor creature to try and drive him off, but you've just got to let squirrel stoppages play themselves out. Benneteau would win in straight sets; the squirrel ate some nuts or something.

Can grocery store revive Rolling Meadows center?
With an Uncle Joe's Tuscan Fresh Market grocery store now in the fold, the redeveloped shopping center on Kirchoff Road in downtown Rolling Meadows can expect to draw beauty parlors, dry cleaners, restaurants and other smaller retail stores, the site's developer said Tuesday.
Mayor Tom Rooney broke the news Monday that the grocery store with ties to the Caputos, an extended family with grocery stores and other food businesses across the suburbs, would go into the center that has been a thorn in the city's side since Dominick's closed there almost nine years ago.
Site developer Fritz Duda of Clark Street Development said more information about the grocery store and renderings of its design will be available at a neighborhood meeting planned for Thursday, Feb. 28 at the Rolling Meadows Public Library.
"We're super pleased and super excited," Duda said. "It's the right user in the right location. That site will be neighborhood commercial as opposed to big box stores. It's always been local businessmen running businesses, and it will continue to be." Residents seem happy that a big chain will not move into the center, which will be renamed Meadows Marketplace, Duda added.
No leases have been signed yet for the center, but that is expected to begin happening now that the Uncle Joe's has been announced, he said.
A representative of Uncle Joe's was not available to comment Tuesday.
Duda said Clark Street's plans are "perfectly consistent" with a report the city commissioned a few years ago which indicated that once an anchor is found, the center would attract smaller stores such as home decor, clothing shops, restaurants and bars. Clark Street principals have worked with Mike Mallon of Wheaton, one of the authors of the study.
Clark Street believes the location is viable for a grocery store, even with a Jewel just across the street. The company worked with a consultant to identify sites where grocery stores would succeed before acquiring the Rolling Meadows center through foreclosure.
One unique thing about Chicago's grocer market is the "20 independent grocers like Caputos who have been around for a very long time," Duda said. "The market is changing in favor of uniqueness."
He noted that Jewel and Dominick's survived together on Kirchoff Road for a long time, and he has been told that Dominick's leaving had nothing to do with the location.
The success of the grocery store and the mall depend on the dollars available in the area and the amount of competition, said Neil Z. Stern, a retail consultant.
Grocery stores are valued as anchors because the average customer visits one 70 times a year, drawing traffic to other tenants. But no developer would woo one unless he thought the store would succeed, said Stern, a senior partner with McMillanDoolittle in Chicago.
"There's no incentive for a developer to put something in that he's not convinced will succeed," he said.
And Stern agreed Jewel is not as strong a competitor as it was a number of years ago.
Super Value, Inc. sold Jewel-Osco to an investor group, with the sale scheduled to close next month. A spokesman for the buyers said personnel and operations will be examined.
"We understand it's a very competitive industry," said Karen May, a spokeswoman for Jewel-Osco, "but right now for Jewel-Osco it's business as usual and we will continue to do everything on our end to serve our customers no matter what happens with the vacant property across the street."
Although Rolling Meadows expects an economic boost from the new grocery store and other possible additions to what is now an eyesore in the middle of town, Stern warned that retail development is not a panacea.
"If you're trying to grow retail in your town, you might be taking away from another town, as opposed to getting people to spend more money," he said. "They are not getting the easy growth of 20 to 30 years ago when population and the suburbs were growing. Retail is very selective. It's tougher to get quality retail today. It will get tougher because the economy still isn't recovered and online is taking a lot of the future growth."
The Meadows Marketplace also will accommodate shops with 2,000 to 30,000 square feet.
"Great retailers can survive if they understand their customers," said Duda.
Clark Street plans to take its requests for returning the site's zoning to commercial and reducing the number of parking spaces required to the Rolling Meadows plan commission on March 5 and the city council on March 26. Part of the land was rezoned in 2006 to residential in anticipation of a redevelopment plan that never materialized.

Finally I found the root of the problem. Installing the application on jboss also altered my server.xml, adding a security certificate to the https connection. After removing this entry, the test ran perfectly. But the problem is, that this certificate is intended to be used. Is there a possibility to add this to the test somehow?
edit: Damn. Only a modified test worked. In this modified test, the class I tested successfully was not deployed beforehand but within the test package itself. When I try to test a class, thats already installed on the server, I get a ClassNotFoundException.
edit2: This seems to have to do with the installed application too, since everthing works fine on a clean server where a single bean containing a single method is installed. I'm trying to get some more info tomorrow.
Hi again. I was able to fix all problems mentioned in the edits. So the only problem remaining right now is the SSL certificate. Is it possible to change the port the testrunnerservlet uses to the http-port somehow?
I have the exact same problem as you had in this post (the one with java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server ). Can you elaborate a bit on what you did wrong? I've been struggling with this for over a day.

Santiago keeps his swing active with winter ball
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Jhonny Peralta isn't the only Tigers shortstop who reported to camp lighter on Wednesday. Ramon Santiago came to camp looking and feeling thinner as well.
In Santiago's case, it wasn't a workout and dietary overhaul. It was more about his return to winter ball, something the Tigers wanted the 33-year-old to do after he skipped the Dominican League last winter and then struggled through most of the summer.
"I don't play every day here," Santiago said, "so I need those at-bats [in winter ball]."
Santiago said Wednesday morning he plans on doing more agility work with strength and conditioning coach Javair Gillett before the season begins.
Santiago hit .325 (27-for-83) in 21 games for Escogido in the Dominican regular season, then helped them to a Dominican League title last month. He didn't join them for the Caribbean Series, preferring to get at least a week of rest before reporting to camp.

It's a pity modern life, particularly modern pregnancy, is so complicated. This week, the news that working past your eighth month of pregnancy has the same effect on your unborn child as smoking will be cold comfort to every woman trying to shore up as much maternity leave as possible before she can get stuck into the long nights of feeding and recovery ahead.
The Guardian reports that three economists, published in the Journal of Labour Economics from the University of Chicago, found that women had babies that were on average 230g lighter when they worked past eight months - the same kind of differential for women who had smoked throughout their pregnancies. The problem was more pronounced in older mums, and, as you'd expect, more marked for women working physically demanding jobs.
But older women sitting at computer screens were also registering an effect of their otherwise sedentary working days - as anyone approaching 40 who has tried to be heavily pregnant and at the office can confirm. I can personally attest to having an entirely numb bottom half, extreme carpal tunnel syndrome and barely being able to make it up a flight of stairs to my desk!
My baby was extremely low birthweight - just over six pounds - as he had basically stopped growing. Not solely because of my eight hours at the office perhaps, but at the time I remember feeling that the position was an unnatural and exhausting one for a heavily pregnant women (even though it was only sitting on your chuff).
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
The upshot of a tiny baby can be no laughing matter. The Guardian says past research suggests "babies with low birth weights are at higher risk of poor health and slow development, and may suffer from a variety of problems later in life".
With over 30,000 women studied altogether, in both the US and the UK, the results seem pretty robust. But the conclusion the study authors come to - that women need more flexible maternity leave that they can take both before and after the birth of their babies - doesn't seem overly realistic in the current economic climate.
It would be fantastic if women could structure their lives (with their partners) to ensure that their babies got lots of relaxing time to grow in the womb and plenty of time to bond and feed with mum after the birth. But with the current feeling strongly tipped towards the "you breed 'em, you feed 'em" mentality, plus a stalled economy, New Zealand employers, unfortunately, have little incentive to ensure their females employees have the kind of flexibility their babies could do with.

A Bittersweet Time for Berries
Spring is a tasty time of year on California's Central Coast, thanks to an abundance of seasonal strawberries from local growers.
The Central Coast, with its sunny days and fog-filled evenings, is the premier berry-growing region in the U.S., producing 80 percent of the country's strawberries.
Unfortunately, the spring berry season is a bittersweet time for Californians, because of the continued use of toxic, air-polluting soil fumigants by conventional farms.
The issue is unknown to most shoppers across the country … probably because the threat evaporates into the air, and therefore poses a threat primarily to farmers, farm workers, and the many people who live near berry farms.
Berry good
organic alternatives
Since 1983, Swanton Berry Farms has been growing strawberries organically in California's central coast farming region.
Swanton Berry is now joined by farmers large and small – including gigantic growers like Driscoll's – in a bustling organic strawberry business.
Specific pest control alternatives include the use of resistant cultivars, cultural practices (crop rotation, cover crops, natural fertilizer), biological controls (predatory insect species and bacteria), and physical methods such as soil solarization and anaerobic disinfestation.
Soil solarization involves heating the soil by covering it with a clear plastic tarp for four to six weeks, which kills a wide range of soil-based pests while increasing the availability of nitrogen and other essential plant nutrients.
Anaerobic disinfestation (ASD) works by incorporating cheap carbon sources into topsoil that's covered with plastic tarp then irrigated.
Soil solarization and ASD are proven to work on large-scale berry farms, according to the USDA Pacific-Area Program for Methyl Bromide Alternatives and the University of California's department of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Strawberries are vulnerable to soil-born pests, diseases, and weeds, especially when they're grown in large "monoculture" plots that allow disease to spread easily among the fruit plants.
Growers large and small have demonstrated the viability of organic berry farming. (See our sidebar, "Berry good organic alternatives".)
As organic strawberry farmer Jim Cochran told the Pesticide Action Network North America, "It's surprisingly easier to grow strawberries without chemicals than the industry would lead you to believe."
We only sell certified-organic berries, and work hard to find and offer organic options whenever possible … almost all of our land-based foods are certified organic.
If a Vital Choice product is certified organic, we'll say so on its web-store page. Strangely, wild-caught seafood is not eligible for organic certification under current U.S. law.
Organic foods can cost much more than their conventional counterparts and people on tight budgets can find them unaffordable.
So it's critical to make conventional produce as safe as possible … for farmers, workers, and farm neighbors, as well as consumers.
The fight over toxic soil fumigants
Conventional strawberry growers rely on chemical fumigants to literally sterilize soil prior to planting … and methyl bromide has long been a top choice.
Chemical fumigants like methyl bromide generally do not get into the fruit, so strawberry consumers run little or no direct risk from its use.
But methyl bromide can sicken farmers, farm workers, and people in surrounding communities, so people and eco-organizations have protested the continued use of this harmful pesticide.
Still, methyl bromide remains in wide use, despite a 2005 international treaty banning it and other ozone-depleting chemicals, which allows for their use absent other "economically reasonable" alternatives.
California's Department of Pesticide Regulation approved an even more toxic alternative – methyl iodide – in December of 2010.
As an approved, "economically reasonable" alternative to methyl bromide, conventional berry farms began using it.
That move drew cries of protest, because methyl iodide is a recognized carcinogen and neurotoxin, also linked to miscarriages and thyroid problems.
In 2011, more than 35 scientists, including three Nobel laureates, urged the U.S. EPA to cancel all uses of methyl iodide, noting that a rigorously conducted analysis "… indicates that methyl iodide cannot be used safely as a soil fumigant and serves as a sound scientific basis for U.S. EPA to cancel all agricultural uses of methyl iodide."
And the Department of Pesticide Regulation's hasty approval of methyl iodide flew in the face of this conclusion from its own Scientific Review Committee: "… adequate control of human exposure [to methyl iodide] would be difficult, if not impossible."

Adding to safety concerns, the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) released evidence that chloropicrin – a carcinogenic chemical used in conjunction with methyl iodide– was found in every air sample taken near fields operated by Driscoll's, which is the nation's biggest seller of strawberries.
Fortunately, in March of 2012, the only supplier of methyl iodide announced that it would stop selling it, which may explain why the California Department of Pesticide Regulation finally bowed to public pressure and banned methyl iodide.
Farm workers and local residents can breathe a little easier now, but many other gaseous, hard-to-contain fumigants can still be used in strawberry fields.
In an encouraging move, California Governor Jerry Brown recently appointed former organic farmer Brian Leahy as the head of the state's Department of Pesticide Regulation.
Leahy is committed to finding a solution, and will spend $500,000 to explore safe alternatives, in addition to the organic methods already being used by growers of all sizes.
We can expect that researchers will develop new organic methods that will make organic fruit farming easier … in the meantime you can enjoy our delicious certified-organic berries with full peace of mind.

I remember back in the early 00's when talking to friends about potential domain names that's been taken for years but never really used; parked domains with ridiculous prices making it impossible to acquire them. Whatsmyip.com was one of those dream names. Thanks Venture for making it possible for me to acquire my dream domain!
Richard Andersson
Founder, Whatsmyip.com
Having a one-word domain adds huge credibility to our brand and trust to our customers. Velour.com helps reinforce our brand identify and makes us more discoverable. Working with Venture is easy and efficient.
Our brand, "Yuso", matters a lot to us. In addition to our home country domain, we defensively bought other extensions. As a start-up, the .com domain remained elusive until Venture.com provided us the opportunity to lease it with their innovative model.

The Virtues of Capitalism, lays the foundation of Seldon's views and theories of capitalism and its alternatives. The first part, Corrigible Capitalism; Incorrigible Socialism, was first published in 1980. It explains why, Seldon believes, "private enterprise is imperfect but redeemable," but the "state economy promises the earth, and ends in coercion to conceal its incurable failure." The second part, Capitalism, is widely considered to be Seldon's finest work. It covers a wide range of the classical liberal thought that inspired the movement toward free-market reforms in Great Britain and intellectually opposed the collectivist tide of socialism.

Easing into spring, Shields throws batting practice
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- James Shields whipped through throwing his first batting practice on Tuesday with happy results.
"It went great, it felt good," Shields said. "Really good -- 25 pitches. This is the time when you can ease into it and then get going."
Afterward, Shields had a brief session with Royals pitching coach Dave Eiland to review his work.
"Every time you're back on the mound and start throwing to hitters again, you've got to kind of remember what you worked on last year and that kind of stuff," Shields said. "It's just a process of getting your mechanics going and getting everything in line."
Shields served up pitches to a couple of Minor Leaguers as well as catcher Frank Pena.
"I think I had one homer hit off me today," Shields said. "When you're telling 'em what's coming, it's a little easier to hit, I guess."
It was Pena who banged the home run, but he noted that Shields' command was excellent and his fastball and changeup were working well.
"His stuff was electric," Pena said.
Although the Phoenix area temperature hit a record 88 degrees on Monday, the Tuesday morning workout was in a pleasant 74 degrees.
"Everything went really well," manager Ned Yost said. "Everybody's getting good work in, everybody's feeling good."
Most of the infielders and outfielders are already in camp and were taking batting practice on Tuesday. Their official reporting date is Wednesday, with the first full-squad workout on Thursday.
Shortstop Alcides Escobar, the only regular who has not yet turned up, is expected on Wednesday, Yost said.
Yost has two intrasquad games scheduled for Feb. 25 and 26. The first game is Feb. 27 against the Rangers.

State and local first responders receive FCC approval to use robot that covertly transmitted live video during military operations.
A robot used to covertly transmit live video during military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by local and state firefighters and police, ending a legal battle between amateur radio operators and law enforcement over the device.
Called the Recon Scout Throwbot, the robot transmits over the 430-448 MHz portion of the 420-450 MHz frequency band, which is primarily used by the federal radiolocation service. The spectrum is also utilized by amateur radio enthusiasts. The latter group, spearheaded by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), opposed a waiver request filed with the FCC by Recon Scout maker ReconRobotics Inc. to use the band.
The ARRL argued that ReconRobotics' claims that the device would be useful in public safety and anti-terrorism operations didn't prove that a waiver to use the frequency bands was in the public interest. The FCC admitted, in its order approving the waiver, that while some interference in the frequency bands may occur, it isn't a reason to prohibit the use of the Recon Scout.
The FCC approval does come with some limitations, however. The robot can only be used by state and local police and firefighters on the specific band. Operators must also first use the Recon Scout on 436-442 MHz bands. If those frequencies are inaccessible, then the 430-436 MHz and 442-448 MHz bands — where interference is more likely — can be accessed.
In a subsequent Order on Reconsideration released April 15, the FCC granted the ARRL's request for changes in the labeling and instruction manual requirements to ensure that users of the Recon Scout are aware of the interference limitations.
Use of the device is also limited to emergencies involving threats to the safety of life and training purposes. In addition, the Recon Scout is restricted from use near various radar installations and Air Force bases, and the amount of units that can be sold is limited to 2,000 the first year and 8,000 the second year. After that period of time, future sales will be re-evaluated, according to the FCC.
The Recon Scout measures eight inches long and weighs 1.2 pounds. Aimee Barmore, director of North American sales for ReconRobotics, said federal agencies that have been using the robot are looking at it as a life-saving tool, particularly during hostage situations.
"It really helps save [agencies] time and money because … it's extremely durable," she said. "You throw it up into a window and get eyes on the inside in a stealthy manner … without risking the lives of officers."
Barmore added that while the Recon Scout is not individually customizable, a number of different versions of the robot exist. The price for each system ranges from $4,800 to $13,000 depending on the type.
Law enforcement agencies had been previously testing the Recon Scout in training missions. In one support letter to the FCC from the Mid-Missouri Multi Jurisdictional Drug Task Force in 2008, Special Agent Darin E. Logue talked about the device's uncanny ability to go undetected during a drill.
Logue explained that the Recon Scout was deployed and did a thorough threat assessment for the entry team, all before entry, confirming the location and number of suspects, including identifying weaponry.
"Following a successful apprehension, 'roll players/suspects' advised that although they were expecting the deployment of the robot, they were never really aware of its location in the house," Logue said.
A video describing the Recon Scout is available here.

Illustrating Darwin
Imagine sailing with Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle in the 1830s; puzzling with him over the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils; and watching him synthesize his ideas into a coherent theory that would forever change the world of science.
Nicolle Rager Fuller BS '99 makes this journey possible. She illustrated Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species: A Graphic Adaptation (with author Michael Keller; Rodale Books, 2009). The book transforms Darwin's 1859 classic, along with excerpts from the English naturalist's letters and field notes, into a graphic novel.
The book is aimed at younger readers but has appeal for readers of all ages and cultures. To date, it is available in Dutch, Korean, Turkish, and Indonesian as well as English. Keller and Fuller place Darwin's discoveries in historical and cultural context and show how he and his scientific contemporaries influenced one another.
From the beginning, Fuller understood the magnitude of illustrating Darwin's foundational work. "In some ways, On the Origin of Species is a sacred text," she says. "It also has the potential to offend some people. I worked hard to keep it accurate but still interesting."
Working primarily digitally while emulating an ink and watercolor style, Fuller created a thousand illustrations for the book. She uses a pressure-sensitive monitor that allows her to draw directly on the screen, translating her traditional training to a digital format. In On the Origin of Species, her delicate, warm imagery evokes a naturalist's sketchbook. She created the book's font based on her own handwriting.
Fuller's approach has caught the eye of critics. On the Origin of Species was nominated for two 2010 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards in the categories of Best Adaptation from Another Work and Best Painter/Multimedia Artist (interior art). "The Eisners are the Oscars of the graphic book world," says Fuller.
When I started working in science, I was amazed by how much creativity it takes. Thinking differently is what leads to discovery. Nicolle Rager Fuller BS '99
On the Origin of Species is Fuller's first graphic novel but hardly her first published effort. Her scientific illustrations have appeared in Science News magazine, Scientific American, the Washington Post, and elsewhere. She also heads her own firm, Sayo Art.
Fuller's career combines her lifelong interests in science and art. "My parents encouraged both," she says. "When I was a kid, they enrolled me in drawing classes, and they both did science projects with me."
Fuller grew up in Bellingham, Washington, and considers herself a "West Coaster" despite currently living in Washington, D.C. She majored in biochemistry at Lewis & Clark but also took drawing and ceramics classes. "Art became my stress relief," she says. Her choice of major was partly influenced by her regard for Janis Lochner, Pamplin Professor of Science and chair of the biochemistry and molecular biology program, who served as her advisor. "The chemistry faculty, including Associate Professor Barbara Balko, were very supportive of my mixed interests," Fuller says. "I'm still thankful for that." In the art department, Ted Vogel in the ceramics program and Debra Beers in the drawing program also encouraged her efforts. "Professor Beers thought my weird combo of interests made a lot of sense. Intense observation is crucial in both art and science," says Fuller.
After college, Fuller briefly considered a career in art therapy and then worked in a science lab at Oregon Health & Science University. But when she discovered the science illustration program at the University of California at Santa Cruz, she knew she had found her calling.
Fuller finds that her art and science backgrounds complement each other. "When I started working in science, I was amazed by how much creativity it takes," she says. "Thinking differently is what leads to discovery." She finds that her science background allows her to ask informed questions and to understand technical articles in journals. "An illustrator with an exclusively artistic background might need to work harder at understanding the science," she says.
Fuller can also consult her husband, Jason Fuller, an entomologist who chairs the biology department at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus of Montgomery College in Maryland. "He's my sounding board for content," she says. "Over the course of my career, he's learned to be my art critic."
Though the book is Fuller's first, it may not be her last. "I'd like to do an entire book, writing and all," she says. She also has two brothers who write: Matt Rager, who is completing a PhD in literature at Yale, and Adam Rager CAS '11, an English major at Lewis & Clark. Fuller would also love to illustrate a children's book. "I've tasked my brothers to help me with that when we all have time."
In illustrating Darwin's On the Origin of Species, Fuller aimed to evoke "the excitement of finding things out." Her goal was give readers a new perspective on a classic work and perhaps, like all good scientists artists, help spark some entirely new ideas.

Knoxville, Tenn. – Redshirt senior Herman Lathers has been a member of the Tennessee football team through many changes.
This season, Lathers has seen a change in the mentality of the Volunteers, in a good way.
"The mood was good [today at practice], that was surprising," said Lathers. "We don't get the results we want but the mood is always good. We know what is at stake and we know what is ahead of us. We have a great team so we are just going to keep on working."
The Vols were right back at it Monday at practice fixing the mistakes that they made Saturday and preparing for the upcoming game against South Carolina.
The whole time, they kept their heads held high.
"It is human nature to fall down and get sad and depressed [after losses]," said offensive lineman Antonio Richardson. "It is week-by-week in college football and anybody can be beat at any time."
"In the offseason and right now we put emphasis on us staying together and that is the reason week-by-week that we have the confidence that we can play with anybody, even though this week didn't go that well. Each week we go into the game thinking that we can play against anybody because it is that togetherness. Last year it is what it is, we fell apart, but this year we are doing a good job of honing in and staying together and that is the difference."
Lathers echoed Richardson's sentiments about the team's attitude.
"Most teams fold at times like this with the losses we have had," said Lathers. "We have a great team. We have been together since day one and it has been great so far." "It is great. The whole team's confidence is great. We have been together since day one. Most teams in past years would have folded by now but our spirit is great, our mood is great so that is great to see at this time of year."
The Vols still have an opportunity to win out and finish with an 8-4 regular season record, as noted by senior defensive back Prentiss Waggner.
Lathers knows that he, and the team, will just move forward and work towards this goal.
"It is hard but we know what is at stake and we know we have a great group of coaches," said Lathers. "So we are going to keep working and keep grinding."
Neither the Tennessee offense or defense performed as well as they had hoped in a 44-13 loss to No. 1 Alabama on Saturday, but head coach Derek Dooley was not interested in making any excuses during his Monday press conference.
"I think our two sides of the ball are very different," Dooley said. "We have one side that is really experienced with a lot of good ability and we didn't perform on that side, the offense, the way I thought we could of. Now look, this is a great team we played so I am not taking anything away from how good they are. They are outstanding but we left a lot of plays out there. Just those two interceptions alone and the drop, there is about 150 yards of offense right there. Being able to put that kind of number on Alabama and some points. I'm not sure why we didn't play a little better on offense.
"On defense, certainly there are some things that contribute to it. It's not an excuse. A lot of growing pains with the coaches, a lot of growing pains with the players. I think we have nine guys out there in their first or second year of the program and a new system. It's not an excuse. We have to play better."
As they do every week – win or lose – the Vols will go through an evaluation process to determine the best way to approach the upcoming week in order to be best prepared for their next opponent.
"We evaluate the coaches every week on how we coach, how we motivate, how we teach, what we are running," Dooley said. "We do it every week to see where we can be better. There is a lot of dialogue with the players. It's not we are over here and they are there. We work together to solve problems and that is what we do each week. If there is a way we can coach you better to help you, we are going to do it. If there are things that we are doing that you don't get, we aren't going to do it, but it requires a good mutual relationship of maturity and honesty to do that."
Despite the tough stretch, Dooley remains confident that this team will turn things around.
"Of course it gets more challenging the more losses you have, that is human nature, but it is a close team," Dooley said. "It is a team that I believe in and I have always believed in. I believe we have the right kind of guys in moving forward. It is just a question of staying the course and being able to get over the hump on some of these things and we aren't there yet."
Coming off a tough game against the top-ranked Crimson Tide, Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray said he did not play at his normal pace on Saturday.
"I was trying to press," said Bray on Monday. "I was just rushing through my reads instead of being patient, because the line blocked great for me all night. So instead of being patient, I just rushed through it and might have made some throws I shouldn't have thrown."
Bray was 13-of-27 for 184 yards with two interceptions in the contest. It marked the first game in 2012 that he did not throw for a touchdown.
"I just need to calm down," said Bray. "I rushed way too much that game and tried to play too fast. I just need to kind of relax."
The California native knows the importance of his role within the team concept and understands he needs to make improvements.
"The quarterback has the ball in his hands every play," said Bray. "If he's throwing it well, the team's playing good. If he's not, the team's going to play bad."
The best way to cure what ails the Vols right now according to Bray?
"A win, period, would be great right now. We haven't won in a while, so any win is great."
Sophomore quarterback Justin Worley returns to his home state with Saturday's game at No. 17 South Carolina.
The Rock Hill native actually made his first career start against the Gamecocks in 2011 as the Vols fell 14-3 at Neyland Stadium.
Worley saw late action in the Tennessee loss to No. 1 Alabama, completing 3-of-4 passes for 19 yards, this past Saturday. In his second season, Worley has gained great experience and says he is prepared if Coach Dooley calls for No. 14 to go under center against the Gamecocks.
"It is exciting knowing that I got some reps and we went in and put three points on the board (vs. Alabama)," Worley said. "Every week it is just another week and we have to prepare like we are the starter (at quarterback). Right now Tyler is still the starter, but every week we have to be prepared.
"I would love to play, but it is in the coach's hands right now."
As a star quarterback at Northwestern High School, Worley has seen action at the home of the Gamecocks and is anticipating a nice cheering section for his return
"This will actually be my third time playing in Williams-Brice," said Worley, who threw for 13,385 yards in his prep career. "It is exciting. I know a lot of folks who will be there."
Saturday's game will pit one of the best pass rushers in the country, Jadeveon Clowney against an offensive line that has allowed just three sacks during the 2012 season.
Clowney has already registered 7.5 sacks for a loss of 43 yards (fifth in the NCAA) to go along with 14 tackles for a loss of 64 yards (ranking third) through eight games.
Vols sophomore left tackle Antonio Richardson is prepared for Clowney and is looking forward to the challenge.
"He is really athletic and has a physical presence, really good with his hands," said Richardson. "He is the best defensive end in the country, possibly the best defensive player in the country. We are going to prepare for him, not going to overemphasize or overhype him. We have good offensive lineman too, he is going to go against me and I am ready for the challenge."
Richardson, who is just in his second season in the Big Orange, plays like a seasoned veteran on this offensive line. He has made just seven career starts, all in 2012, but attributes his readiness to the strength of schedule the Vols have week-in and week-out playing in the SEC.
"This conference you go against good players every week," said Richardson. "From Florida to Georgia, I have been against a good player now. My confidence is up and I feel like I can play against anybody in the SEC and I am just going to treat them like another player, go into it with the same approach like I do every week and I am going to just play."
This week it will be sophomore standout against sophomore standout as Richardson and Clowney meet on the gridiron.
"The thing about it is, we are both young players and sophomores," said Richardson. "It is like a clash of the titans type deal. Maybe I will make a better name for myself, he could make a better name for himself, we will see how it goes. But I am going in there with aspirations of beating him."
When all is said and done, though he has a tough test ahead of him, Richardson, as well as the rest of the starting five, are confident.
"We are one of the best offensive lines in the country," said Richardson, "we aren't worried about it."
Marlin Lane made the first start of his career last week against No. 1 Alabama.
Though he was dinged up in the Mississippi State game, Lane came out and accumulated more than a third of the Vols' total offense, putting up one of the biggest rushing games that the Alabama front seven have allowed this season.
"I feel like I did pretty good, but I still need to work on a little something to help the offense out even more," said Lane, who gained 55 yards on 15 carries. "I feel like I gave enough effort to get positive yardage each time I touched the ball and I am looking forward to doing it again."
Lane got the opportunity to start after Rajion Neal injured his ankle in the same Mississippi State game. The starter just wasn't well enough to compete.
Lane, who has seen his share of bumps and bruises this season, believes that he is currently playing his best football.
"I think have improved a lot coming back from the hand injury and everything," said Lane. "Each week I am getting better and better. Consistency, I feel like I have all the strength back in my hand and I can do whatever now."
A lot was said after the loss against Alabama, but Lane, and the rest of the Vols, turn a deaf ear to the outside voices and just focus in on what they have to do to win.
"We just don't pay too much attention to the media," said Lane. "As long as you know what goes on inside the white lines and the meeting rooms we are all good with each other. We are just going to keep fighting for it."
(On Alabama game)
"We lost. I made a few mistakes that I'd like to have the ball back. The other one to Pig in the end zone.. I'd like to have a quicker drop and get the ball out of my hand."
(On preparing for South Carolina)
"It's not like we have played great teams before. Florida has a great defensive line. We have a great offense line so it's going to be a battle."
(On South Carolina's defense)
"They have a great defensive line and great linebacker corps. I mean they are a great team. That's why they are ranked."
(On not coming out to talk to the media post-Alabama game)
"I just need to man up and face the consequences."
(On Jadeveon Clowney)
"Jarvis Jones is more of an outside linebacker/defensive end hybrid type guy. Jadeveon Clowney is a defensive end and he is probably the best defensive end in the country in the last decade or so. He is good, he is that good. He is athletic and brings a physical presence with him. We have to get in there and watch the film, watch the film, and get better."
(On South Carolina)
"It is just week-by-week that is all it is. Every team in college football is beatable. And our coaches do a really good job of breaking down film; we do a good job of watching film and seeing weaknesses. Week-by-week we just might not execute well. Most definitely I have to say about South Carolina, their defensive line is their strong point and as you go to the linebackers and secondary it starts to weaken a little bit. We think if we can control the line of scrimmage this can be our game."
(On playing in the SEC)
"You are in the SEC, you are going to play those top-10 teams every week. This is what we signed up for. There is no going back now."
(On the getting the defense simpler)
"We were simpler. It helps but you still have to play your responsibility and when you don't and give up plays then it hurts you. It doesn't matter how simple you get if you give up plays and don't play your assignment. It doesn't matter."
(On the morale of the team)
"Morale is great. With the results we have been getting the past few weeks it shouldn't be great but it is great because of the cohesiveness with have and the accountability with have and just being together as a team. It is great to see and we look forward to it."
(On the negativity on social media)
"It is a part of sports. Great fans want to see you winning and when you don't win you get criticized. But when you do win everybody loves you. It is a part of the game and you get used to it."
(On Justin Worley playing)
"When Justin's in, we don't miss a beat. He's just as good of a quarterback as Tyler. We have a bunch of good guys. It's great that we have depth now and an opportunity to do stuff with it. As an offensive lineman, it won't affect anything. We still going to protect him and block."
(On if Worley starting would be a spark)
"You never know. As an offensive lineman, our job is to go out and protect whoever is behind us and block for whoever is running the ball. So that's what we are going to do and we take pride in that. Whoever is behind us, we feel like that can lead us."
(On South Carolina's defensive line)
"They have a lot of good guys that can get after the ball. They play well together. They are playing with a lot of confidence. Our offensive line is pretty good, too. We have a lot of confidence and it's going to be a good battle."
(On South Carolina's defense)
"[Jadeveon] Clowney is a great player with great instincts. He just gets to the ball, and the other guys just play well together. They know what they are doing and they are an experienced group."
(On Monday's practice)
"We were just making a lot of corrections. A short practice to get our legs back and focusing on what we did wrong on Saturday and trying to correct it before Saturday."
(On the rest of the season)
"With us not beating Alabama and Florida, we are just going to keep trying to push past South Carolina and try and win that. They are probably the last ranked team that we will play. We just want to go out with a bang and win out the rest of the season."
(On the team's mindset today at practice)
"We came out with a good mindset today. It seemed like we were locked in and focused. Week in and week out we have the confidence to win the game. I think Saturday was the first game that we have been beat and they gave it to us. Heading into this game, South Carolina has lost two in a row so we have confidence."
(On moving on)
"You just have to move on and take one game at a time. Those last three losses in a row hurt, but we are on to South Carolina now."
"This is huge. Coach Dooley said this morning that this is the last time that we will get to face an opponent that is top-15, so this is huge going forward to November."
(On the offensive miscues)
"We have had some missed assignments, turning over the ball, just the basics. We have to be more fundamentally sound and have to execute when we have the opportunities. I think there were two or three times that we were inside the 30 and we didn't score."
(On South Carolina's defensive line)
"Their front line is real sound, they have some gamewreckers up front, but we have a real great line so it isn't too stressful."
(On A.J. McCarron finding holes)
"Just give all the credit to Alabama, every coverage has a week spot, A.J. McCarron just did a good job of finding it."
(On South Carolina)
"It is important because we are just trying to win a football game. I am a senior, this is my last year, so the main focus is winning the football game plain and simple."
"They are a good team, they got the short end of the stick these last two weeks and we know Saturday coming out at 12 o'clock they are going to come out fighting."
(On looking ahead to the rest of the season)
"We can still be bowl eligible; we can still win out and go 8-4, possibly 9-4 with a bowl."
(On the mobility of Connor Shaw)
"It is difficult, the D-Line has a tough job ahead with Shaw and keeping him in the pocket is going to be a tough job for them. On the back end we have to cover those guys for long periods of time."
"They have a mobile quarterback. He can keep plays alive, sort of like a Ben Roethlisberger or someone like that. That is going to be a tough job in the secondary in staying with those guys for a long extended period of time."
(On playing against Alabama)
"..Coach was like 'we want to see how you do in practice,' so I just started going out there practicing hard, trying to play technique, learn from the players in front of me."
(On getting playing time)
"After my redshirt year, I was thinking okay, this is my year. I can come out and start playing, get my playing time. Things didn't go how I planned, so I just sat back, waited, kept practicing hard, kept giving the team looks, I mean I had a good scout team, so I was just like we have to get better, we have to get better, but when my time came, I felt like I was ready to step up and take the role on the defense."
(On handling the moment)
"I feel like I handled it well. Of course I'm going to be nervous and excited, but I feel like I played my role and my teammates were helping me get there."

A Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Bexarotene/Carboplatin/Paclitaxel vs. Carboplatin/Paclitaxel in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients with Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC (SPIRIT II Trial)
Presenter: G.R. Blumenschein, Jr., MD
Presenter's Affiliation: SPIRIT II Trial Group
Type of Session: Scientific
- High RXR-beta expression has been shown to be correlated with increased survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Bexarotene (Targretin) is an RXR-selective rexinoid which forms homodimers and heterodimers with a number of molecular partners that ultimately lead to increased apoptosis and alters cell cycle control, differentiation, anti-metastatic activity, and anti-angiogenic activity.
- The use of bexarotene in patients with NSCLC has been shown to lead to disease stabilization and increased survival in several phase I and phase II trials.
- Bexarotene has also been found to result in increased triglyceride (TGC) levels and decreased thyroid stimulating hormone levels in a number of patients.
- This trial, in conjunction with the SPIRIT I Trial, was designed to determine if the addition of bexarotene to standard chemotherapy improved outcomes in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
- Patients with NSCLC who were stage IIIB with pleural effusion or stage IV were randomized to:
- Eligible patients were ECOG performance status 0 or 1 and had not received a prior chemotherapy.
- Patients receiving bexarotene were allowed to continue bexarotene until disease progression after completion of chemotherapy.
- Anti-lipid therapy was started on day one for patients receiving bexarotene.
- Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with secondary endpoint of 2-year survival.
- Additional endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP), safety, population pharmacokinetics, and biochemical and genetic biomarkers.
- A total of 612 patients were enrolled.
- Treatment groups were well-balanced with respect to gender, stage, performance status, age, histopathology, ethnicity, smoking history, and degree of weight loss.
- Median survival was no different between the control group and the bexarotene group (9.2 mo vs. 8.5 mo, p=0.2).
- 2-year survival was no different between the two groups (16.3% vs. 12.4%, p=0.2).
- There was no difference in median PFS (4.9 mo vs. 4.1 mo, p=0.06).
- There were significant increases with the use of bexarotene with respect to grade 3/4 neutropenia, asthenia, leukopenia, and dehydration.
- 32% of patients receiving bexarotene experienced grade 3/4 hypertriglyceridemia compared to 0% in the control arm.
- Retrospective subgroup analysis showed that patients hypertriglyceridemia correlated with improved outcome with the use of bexarotene.
- It was hypothesized that hypertriglyceridemia served as a surrogate biomarker for response to treatment and this was analyzed further.
- Patients with NCI grade 3 or 4 hypertriglyceridemia had improved survival with bexarotene with a hazard ratio of 0.82 (p=0.0002).
- When separated by triglyceride level, patients with NCI grade 3 or 4 triglycerides had a median survival of 12.4 mo vs. 9.2 mo for the control group (p=0.014)
- Patients with NCI grade 0-2 triglycerides had a median survival of 6.6 mo vs. 9.2 mo for the control group (p=0.001).
- The correlation of high triglycerides with improved outcomes was found for all patient subgroups.
- Bexarotene added to carboplatin/paclitaxel in the first-line setting did not improve overall survival.
- Retrospective subset analysis suggests that elevated triglycerides in patients treated with bexarotene correlates with survival.
- The relationship between hypertriglyceridemia and response to bexarotene warrants further study.
- Additional biochemical and genetic marker analyses could help identify likely responders to treatment with bexarotene.
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The results presented in this study showed no benefit to the overall population with the addition of bexarotene to standard chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel in the first-line setting with advanced and metastatic NSCLC. These results are disappointing given the promising results seen in earlier phase studies with this agent. There was no indication that bexarotene benefited the overall population, and in fact, there was a trend towards worsened PFS with bexarotene. These results mirrored the results of the SPIRIT I trial which was also presented at this meeting. In that trial, bexarotene was given with cisplatin and vinorelbine in a similar population of patients, and again, there was no improvement in median survival, OS, or PFS. Interestingly, in both trials, patients with elevated triglycerides did show improvement in survival. This was somewhat paradoxical, because patients who experienced high elevations in triglycerides despite antilipid therapy had the doses of bexarotene reduced in both trials. Therefore, the median dose of bexarotene received in patients with elevated bexarotene was significantly lower than the dose received by patients who did not have triglyceride elevation. The exact cause of the relationship between triglyceride level and response to bexarotene is unclear. It is possible that increased triglycerides serve as a biomarker for response or inherent sensitivity to the experimental drug. This relationship warrants further investigation. If it is possible to identify patients who will experience this elevation of triglycerides in response to treatment prior to the initiation of therapy, a susceptible subset of these patients could be targeted for treatment with bexarotene. Until then, the use of bexarotene should be confined to experimental protocols.

Piggy Banks Beware...Canadian Tire Jumpstart is asking Canadians to donate their pennies to help kids 'get in the game' Français
Feb 04, 2013, 10:00 ET
Participating Canadian Tire stores across the country will collect pennies and make every cent count
TORONTO, Feb. 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadian Tire Retail and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities announced today that it will collect decommissioned pennies from customers. Money raised through the campaign will help financially disadvantaged kids in communities across Canada participate in organized sport and recreation by removing the financial barriers that prevent children from participating.
One hundred per cent of the revenue from Jumpstart donation boxes in stores stays in the community where it was donated. Since 2005, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped more than 500,000 children who would not be able to participate in sports because of financial barriers get involved in local activities. More than 2,400 community partners are part of the Jumpstart network and together help the one-in-three Canadian families that cannot afford to enrol their children in organized sports and recreation.
"We know there are many Canadians out there who are looking to free their wallets and empty their piggy banks of all their pennies. By donating pennies to Jumpstart, Canadians can feel better knowing their donation will help kids from their local community," said Johnny Misley, President, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. "We are asking Canadians to donate their pennies to make some real change and help kids get into the game."
As of February 4, 2013, the Government of Canada will eliminate the penny from Canada's coinage system and Jumpstart is encouraging Canadians to bring in their piggy banks and donate their pennies. Donations boxes are available in Canadian Tire stores across the country. The penny will retain its value, and retailers will continue to accept pennies, indefinitely. Customers can continue to pay with exact change at the cash or self check-outs. As recommended by the Government of Canada, Canadian Tire stores across the country will adopt the "fair" rounding approach. For cash transactions when proper change is unavailable, the amount owing after tax will be rounded to the nearest five cent increment. The new rounding approach will only apply to cash transactions.
About Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities
Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities is a national charitable program dedicated to providing financially disadvantaged kids with the opportunity to experience the benefits of organized sport and recreation. With an extensive national network of more than 315 local chapters, it provides families in communities across Canada with a hand-up to help cover the costs associated with registration, equipment and/or transportation.
Supported by the Canadian Tire Family of Companies, which includes Canadian Tire Retail, PartSource, Gas+, FGL Sports (Sport Chek and Atmosphere,), Mark's and Canadian Tire Financial Services, Jumpstart has enabled more than 500,000 Canadian kids to get in the game since 2005.

colon cancer
colon cancer, cancer of any part of the colon (often called the large intestine). Colon cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in the United States. Epidemiological evidence has shown that a diet high in fat and low in fruits, vegetables, and fiber contributes to the development of the disease. Smoking is also a factor in some types of colon cancer. Statistically, a family history of colon cancer or cancer of the female reproductive organs, a history of colon polyps, or a history of ulcerative colitis puts one at a greater risk of developing colon cancer. Colon cancer is most common in people over age 50.
Several genes that signal a hereditary predisposition to colon cancer have been identified. For example, mutations in either of two genes, MSH2 and MLH1, can predispose a person to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). People in HNPCC families can undergo blood tests that can tell them whether they have an affected gene. With the information obtained from such screening, an appropriate course of preventive measures and follow-up tests can be initiated (see genetic testing ).
