In this guide well discuss in detail the problems and solutions to Lochinvar hot water heater repair. Lochinvar electric water heaters sometime leak from various places and cause a short, sometimes the Lochinvar electric water heater wont get hot enough and the hot water runs out quickly. Sometimes, you will find your electric water heater doesnt heat at all!
*WARNING!* Lochinvar electric water heaters as discussed in this repair guide utilize 240 volts of power and draw 18 amps!!! This is plenty to cause serious electrical shock or death from electrocution! Always disconnect the power to your water heater when handling any wires, or working on the water heater. Lochinvar water heater troubleshooting requires the testing of the electrical components, and if you are afraid of handling electrical like many people, I would suggest calling a professional. Electrical testing is a dangerous job!*
No Hot Water troubleshooting a Lochinvar electric water heater
The most common problem you will encounter with a Lochinvar electric water heater having no hot water, or very little hot water. The first thing to check is the circuit breaker or fuse in your electrical service panel. Make sure the fuse is not tripped, or the fuse blown. Also if you have an electrical switch or power disconnect servicing your Lochinvar water heater, make sure that it is in the on position. If the electrical seems to be all in the normal on positions, then it is time to check the Lochinvar water heater for incoming power.
1) Turn the Power OFF at the circuit breaker and lock the breaker switch in the off position, and/or disconnect the power using the electrical switch or disconnect box.
2) MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF! Test the incoming power to the Lochinvar water heater. Using a screwdriver, take the upper panel off of the front of the water heater, and remove the insulation and plastic cover. Be very careful not to touch any wires until you have tested for certain that they are not live! After you have exposed the thermostat, element and wires, you should see something very similar to the picture on the right.
Lochinvar Electric Water Heater Troubleshooting & Repair Guide In the photo to the left, you will see 7 terminals on the thermostat or t-stat for short. Then you will see the element below that with two terminals. Test the incoming power using a voltmeter on the upper two terminals on the electrical thermostat. If the power is off it should read around zero volts. If the power is on you will get a reading of 240 volts across the two upper terminals. If you have power to the water heater when all the breakers and switches are on, but still no hot water, then you will have to continue testing to troubleshoot exactly which component is broken. There are only four components to the electrical heating system. The upper thermostat and upper element, and the lower thermostat and lower element.
3) How to test and replace Lochinvar Water Heater Elements.
Make sure there is no power coming to the upper terminals. Open both the lower cover and the upper cover. The lower port once opened will look very similar to the upper port. A photo of the lower t-stat and lower element are on the right. Youll notice only two (or sometimes three) terminals on the lower t-stat and two terminals on the lower element. With the power off and disconnected, use a screwdriver to remove the wires from the two element terminals of the upper element. Using an ohm meter to test the electrical resistance of the element is the safest, simplest way to troubleshoot whether the element is burned or not. Use the ohm meter and measure by touching each poles of the ohm tester to each of the terminals on the element.
A bad element will give you a very high reading because they element is broken, and the resistance is very high. A good element will give you a low reading of around 12-14 ohms. Now test the lower element the same way as the upper, after disconnecting the wires from the element terminals. If you dont disconnect the wires from the element, then the wires will interfere with the resistance test and resistance will read as zero.
If youve tested both elements and one of them is bad, you will have to drain the Lochinvar water heater using a garden hose, and remove the bad element using an element socket wrench and install a new element. If neither element is bad, then one of the thermostats must be malfunctioning.
4) How to Test and replace Lochinvar Water Heater Thermostats.
Testing the thermostats is a little more dangerous, because they have to be tested live! So be very careful or hire a professional. Reconnect the wires to the elements. Turn the power on to the water heater and use a small screwdriver to turn the upper t-stat all the way up. Now use your voltmeter to test that the upper t-stat is sending power to the upper element. It should read 240 volts across both terminals together, or 120 volts on each terminal.
If the upper t-stat is sending power to the upper element, then turn the upper t-stat all the way down and make sure it shuts off. Then, repeat the t-stat test you just completed on the upper t-stat by testing the lower t-stat the same way. If one or both of the t-stats is not switching on, it wont send any power to the associated element, so you will have to disconnect the power, disconnect the wires, remove the bad t-stat and install a new one. Make sure to pay attention to the wiring, and the new wiring diagram that comes with the new t-stat.

This year the Society of Biology's amateur photography competition is inviting budding photographers to think creatively about forests, grasslands, deserts and watery environments, fitting in with the theme 'Home, Habitat & Shelter'.
Entries can focus on any of the world's amazing ecosystems, although as today is World Ocean's Day we thought we would give potential entrants some inspiration from one of nature's most mysterious and varied environments. Occupying approximately two thirds of the Earth's surface and containing around 95 percent of the Earth's water, the world's oceans provide numerous habitats for a wide range of species. The oceans are divided into five distinct areas: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic) and Arctic.
Oceans are divided into five layers, and each layer is designated depending on its depth, physical characteristics and biological conditions, and the richness of life within each zone can vary considerably. Oceanographers categorise the open ocean as the pelagic zone, while the far depths, including the oceanic trenches, are described as hedalpelagic. At depths between 6,000 and 11,000 metres, there is a very low density of marine-life due to the harsh physical and chemical conditions.
But even at great depths and with no direct access to sunlight, creatures have evolved to survive and thrive. The giant tube worm lives around strong flowing hydrothermal vents, which are cracks on the ocean floor from which very hot, mineral-rich water flows into the surrounding ocean water. These vents are usually found near volcanically active places and the surrounding water is heated by the magma beneath the Earth's surface.
The giant tube worm lives inside thin, tube-like structures made from chitin (a hard, protective material found in the outer skeleton of some invertebrates) and can grow up to two metres long. It has an impressive, haemoglobin-rich, red plume which is extended when it is undisturbed. The highly specialised body is divided into four sections, each of which plays a role in gas exchange, structure and support, and absorption of nutrients. Like other worms, it does not have a digestive tract and relies on a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in its body tissue. The bacteria perform chemosynthesis, a process by which organic molecules are produced for the worm to feed on.
The remoteness of the hydrothermal vents prevents scientists from studying the ecology and biology of this species and others that live in these deep-sea areas. So although it is clear to see they have adapted to thrive in harsh oceanic environments, other biological features such as reproduction and feeding habits are relatively unknown.
If you have been inspired to think about a creature that has developed to flourish in a unique environment or you have simply been struck by the beauty of a creature in its natural habitat, why not enter the Society of Biology amateur photography competition. Photographs could focus on biological research which helps to answer the complex question of why and how different organisms survive in diverse environments; or, could simply capture the beauty of an animal in its natural habitat.
Further details on entering the photography competition are available on the Society of Biology website

They also said that metalloids are typically semiconductors, though antimony and arsenic (semimetals from a physics perspective) have electrical conductivities approaching those of metals.
Selenium and polonium are suspected as not in this scheme, while astatine's status is uncertain.
This is a generic definition that draws on metalloid attributes consistently cited in the literature.
The term metalloid also has been used for elements that exhibit metallic lustre and electrical conductivity, and that are amphoteric, such as arsenic, antimony, vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, tin, lead, and aluminium.

Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
There's a new tree sprouting within the
NFL. You're likely familiar with the league's coaching trees. The Bill
Walsh tree begat the likes of Mike Holmgren, George Seifert, and Andy
Reid. Bill Parcells's tree produced Bill Belichick, whose own tree
extends to Eric Mangini and Josh McDaniels, among others. The trees
associated with general managers and personnel men are discussed less
frequently, but they're equally as notable. The tree generated by Rich
McKay, for one, counts no fewer than seven current general managers in
its branches. And in this decade, we've begun to see the first products
of a new tree, one that's likely to continue spreading throughout the
NFL for years to come.
The Ted Thompson tree has just begun. So far, it has sprung two major
branches, with general managers Reggie McKenzie (Oakland) and John
Schneider (Seattle) emanating from the same Green Bay scouting
department that birthed Thompson. That department, under the auspices of
legendary personnel man Ron Wolf, built the 1996 Super Bowl-winning
team. Thompson matched that total with Green Bay's 2010 victory,
followed that with a 15-1 season, and his Packers seem set to compete at
the very top of the league for the next several seasons. Along with the
Ravens, Steelers, and Patriots, the Packers are among the most admired
and most imitated front offices in football.
So, what's Ted Thompson's secret? Well, like any good artist, he
steals. Many of the same principles of Thompson's Packers organization
are similar to the ideas that come up in other smart, frequently
successful NFL locales. Of course, those organizations stole many of
those same principles from the smart guys before them, too. Thompson
synthesizes a lot of really smart concepts and executes them without
desperation or fear, season after season, with great success. He also
adds a personal flourish or two on the way. And when it came to his two
most important decisions, well, Thompson came up with choices that would
have made even the bravest general manager think twice. In both cases,
Thompson was correct.
That all starts with Aaron Rodgers, but not in the way that you
think. It's easy for the naysayer to look at Rodgers and suggest that
anybody could have built a great team around the league's best quarterback,
but the fact that the Packers ended up with Rodgers reveals a lot about
Thompson's drafting philosophy, his patience, and his faith in taking
the Best Player Available at his spot in the draft.
Nobody really expected Aaron Rodgers to fall to the Packers with the
24th overall pick of the first round, and the Packers weren't really in
the market for a quarterback, anyway. Green Bay had gone 10-6, but its
success had been driven by a fifth-ranked offense; they were 23rd in
scoring defense, with few impact players on that side of the football
beyond Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and Al Harris. Brett Favre had just posted a
banner year, completing 64.1 percent of his passes while throwing 30
touchdowns against 17 picks. Favre was 35, but the need to find Favre's
replacement wasn't anywhere near as pressing as the issues on defense.
Thompson waited as the likes of Travis Johnson, Alex Barron, and Matt
Jones came off the board, and despite the presence of Favre on the
roster, he went with Rodgers. Thompson had drafted the guy who was going
to take over for his franchise player. Now he needed somebody to
develop him.
A year later, the Packers went 4-12,1 which made it high time for Thompson to fire Mike Sherman2
and pick a head coach of his choosing. The guy he chose, Mike McCarthy,
didn't exactly hand in the hottest of résumés. McCarthy spent the 2005
season in San Francisco as the offensive coordinator helping to develop
Alex Smith, who threw one touchdown against 11 interceptions in an
offense that averaged 14.9 points per game. Before that, he had been the
offensive coordinator for the 2000-04 Saints, led by the legendary
Aaron Brooks. He had worked with Favre as the Green Bay quarterbacks
coach in 1999, but it was a downright shocking hire that was treated
with now-comical disrespect by a nascent Internet community.3
The move upset defensive coordinator Jim Bates so much that Bates, who
coveted the head job himself, quit. McCarthy's not exactly a brilliant
in-game strategist, but he's an excellent head coach in terms of
developing young talent (especially on offense) and integrating them
into an already-successful attack.
And oh, did the Packers ever need a coach who could develop young
talent, because Ted Thompson was about to flood Wisconsin with rookies.
Beyond the stunning, counterintuitive decisions to draft Rodgers and
hire McCarthy, Thompson worked off of a very clear blueprint that was
designed to rebuild the Packers with young, hungry talent. From 2005
through 2008, the season in which Rodgers took over for a retiring Favreing Favre, Thompson kept himself remarkably busy with these rules to success:
• Worry about talent over need at the top of the draft.
As predicted by the Rodgers pick, Thompson continued a strategy of
pursuing the best possible players over the ones that might fit what
appeared to be a hole on his roster. In 2006, despite the presence of
promising middle linebacker Nick Barnett on the roster, the Packers took
A.J. Hawk with the fifth pick and played him on the outside before
eventually transitioning him to the interior. Future first-round picks
on players like Justin Harrell, Bryan Bulaga, and Derek Sherrod were
either in places where the Packers were not hurting for talent or
unlikely to need immediate relief for a year or two. Despite the
presence of Donald Driver, Javon Walker (at first), and a history of
receivers thrown open by Favre, Thompson used second-round picks in his
first two drafts on wideouts Terrence Murphy (who suffered a spinal
injury that revealed career-ending spinal stenosis during his rookie
season) and Greg Jennings. That second-round wideout well would
eventually yield Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, with James Jones coming
in the third round of the 2007 draft. The only notable need pick for the
Packers in the first round was when they took B.J. Raji as part of
their move into the 3-4.
• Get as many picks as possible. Thompson
isn't some sage who gets every pick right. Just look at that list above:
Hawk never developed into a cheese curd Urlacher, Harrell and Murphy
were perpetually hurt, and Sherrod appears in danger of falling into
that trap. It's reasonable to at least wonder
whether NFL teams are significantly better or worse than one another on
draft day. It's reminiscent of that old Baseball Prospectus acronym,
TINSTAAPP: There Is No Such Thing as a Pitching Prospect. The follow-up
to TINSTAAPP was simple. What's the best way to get a pitching prospect?
Start with 10 pitching prospects.
Thompson wasn't looking for pitching prospects, but it's clear he had
a plan to accrue as many draft picks as possible. During his first four
drafts at the helm, the Packers were involved in 21 different trades4
that saw a draft pick change hands. In exactly two of those 20 trades,
the Packers gave up more draft picks than they received. In the 19 other
trades, the Packers either traded down or traded a veteran for one or
more draft picks. Green Bay ended up with 42 picks over that four-year
stretch, three more than anybody else in football.5 In Thompson's first draft alone, he turned the 89th pick into picks 115, 167, 195, 245, and 246.
That trade didn't yield any stars, but eventually, Thompson would use
picks acquired from trade-downs over this four-year stretch to find
Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Daryn Colledge, Johnny Jolly, Desmond
Bishop, and Matt Flynn. He'd pull heists like dealing the 237th pick of
the seventh round for a future sixth-rounder that would eventually
become the 187th pick, moving up 50 spots so that the Saints could take
Adrian Arrington. He used his patience, even with a team that wasn't
perfect and a job that wasn't solidified in the way that Bill
Belichick's job is in New England, to take advantage of desperate,
short-sighted teams.
Put it this way: Let's combine all of Thompson's trades from these
four years into one mammoth deal. In that trade, he dealt away a
first-round pick (the 30th selection), two second-round picks, one
third-round pick, two fourth-round picks, a fifth-rounder, a
sixth-rounder, two seventh-round picks, and two disgruntled players,
Corey Williams and Javon Walker. In return for those nine picks and two
players, Thompson received 26 selections: six second-rounders, two
third-rounders, four fourth-rounders, four fifth-rounders, six
sixth-rounders, four seventh-rounders, running back Ryan Grant, and a
partridge brat. It's easier to see in table form:
In terms of expected value, getting all those extra picks really adds
up. Chase Stuart has used historical analysis of draft returns and the
pro-football-reference.com stat "Approximate Value" to estimate the
expected return from each draft pick,
just as the traditional draft value chart popularized by Jimmy Johnson
attempts to measure a pick's trade value. Using Stuart's figures, it's
possible to estimate how much value Thompson created for his team with
those trades. (I'll use the actual AV returned by the veterans who were
traded over the subsequent five years of the study for their return.)
This is about to get very nerdy, but the conclusion's worth it. The
picks and players Thompson acquired would be expected to (or, in the
players' case, actually did) produce about 56.9 more Approximate Value
points over their first five years than the ones he let go. To put that
into context, the expected return of a player taken with the first
overall pick, according to Stuart's study, is 34.6 Approximate Value
points. In other words — and this is crazy — what Thompson did for his
team with trades involving draft picks over this four-year stretch was like generating a first-overall pick and a seventh-overall pick out of nothing.
Imagine if the league just handed the Packers two top-seven picks in
next year's draft for free. That's what Thompson pulled off. Magic.
That's some One red paperclip shit right there.
• Went all Scorpion on other teams' undrafted free agents.
To tell you the truth, Thompson didn't really do great work with
undrafted free agents on draft day over that four-year stretch. He found
Jarrett Bush in 2006 and Daniel Muir in 2007. It wasn't really better
until 2010, when he went fishing and came out with Frank Zombo and Sam
Shields, each of whom were key contributors on the Super Bowl–winning
team as rookies.
When it came to plucking talent off the bottom of other teams'
rosters, Thompson was unparalleled. He acquired the aforementioned Grant
from the Giants for a future sixth-round pick and got a back who ran
for 3,412 yards and 23 touchdowns during his first three seasons with
the team. When the Texans gave up on undrafted free agent Tramon
Williams after three months, the Packers snatched him up, put him on
their practice squad, and eventually turned him into a Pro Bowl
cornerback. Other undrafted free agents that made their way into a
steady role with the Packers after a short stint with another team or
two include Atari Bigby, Samkon Gado, and John Kuhn.
• Avoid free agency, unless it's a significantly undervalued asset.
The only team in football that would be less active in unrestricted
free agency over the past nine years than the Packers would be the
Pittsburgh Steelers, and it might be a close battle. By my count, the
Packers have signed exactly six veteran free agents since Thompson came
to town, two of which were signings made last year: Jeff Saturday and
Anthony Hargrove. They signed Brandon Chillar to a modest two-year deal
before the 2008 season and ended up getting three years of solid play
from him.6
Otherwise, Thompson's work in unrestricted free agency is entirely
limited to the 2006 offseason, after that disastrous 4-12 campaign.
There, he signed three players. Marquand Manuel was a bust who was
released after one dismal season at safety. Ryan Pickett became a
valuable part of the defensive line. Both those players were signed out
of the midmarket. The masterstroke was signing Charles Woodson at the
ebb of his value, having missed most of the previous season with
injuries. Woodson, then 29, was about to embark on a seven-year stretch
with the team that would see him make a legitimate case as one of the
best defensive players of his generation. He made four All-Pro teams,
and went from being considered a borderline draft bust to a player who
seems likely to receive a Canton bust. It's one of the best signings in
the history of free agency. If you're going to sign a free agent, reach
for the stars. Thompson found one in Woodson.
Since then, Thompson has added to his repertoire. He's begun to sign
his young talent to contract extensions with plenty of time to spare,
creating valuable cap space in the process. Take his first extension
with Rodgers, a deal that the Packers agreed to during the bye week of
Rodgers's first season as the team's starter. A more timid general
manager could have waited another year and a half before locking up
Rodgers, but Thompson's aggressiveness saved the Packers millions. That
contract became a six-year, $65 million deal that was unquestionably the
best veteran deal in football over the past five seasons. Jordy
Nelson's another player on a team-friendly extension. The Eagles really
brought this sort of contract into football, but the Packers have had
more success with it.
He has also reversed his draft tactics and begun to trade up a bit on
draft day. Thompson has made moves in four of the last five drafts to
trade up, including three separate such deals in 2012, but it's hard to
argue with the results. In 2009, Thompson dealt the 41st, 73rd, and 83rd
picks to the Patriots for the 26th pick, which he used to take Clay
Matthews. In 2012, the 59th, 90th, 123rd, and 163rd picks were
dispatched to acquire Jerel Worthy and Casey Hayward. But in 2013,
Thompson traded down three times (including twice with the 49ers) before
eventually trading up to take Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round.
With Franklin and second-round pick Eddie Lacy now expected to rule the
roost at running back, is it possible that Thompson could have used the
draft to — gasp — primarily address a need?7 In all likelihood, Thompson took Franklin and Lacy8 because he thought they were good football players. The fit will come.
The Thompson rebuild of the Packers is basically a blueprint for how
to rebuild an NFL franchise, and it's not lost on his disciples. John
Schneider went to Seattle and promptly built a superfranchise in three
drafts, eventually working his way through 28 selections and finding a
number of starters in the middle rounds, including Kam Chancellor, John
Moffitt, K.J. Wright, Richard Sherman, and eventually Russell Wilson.9
He traded down for multiple picks in the 2011 and 2012 drafts, but when
his team began to turn the corner and emerged as a contender during
2012, he made an aggressive strike for a superstar in 2013 by sending
his first-round pick to Minnesota for Percy Harvin. Of course, we know
now that Harvin is about to undergo hip surgery that will cost him most
of the season, but you can see the similarities to how Thompson changed
his draft strategy once roster spots became scarcer properties.
And yes, you might also have seen the Raiders trade down from the
third to the 12th spot in the 2013 draft, a move that earned them the
42nd pick, a second-rounder that comes in handy when you consider that
the Bengals owned Oakland's would-be second-rounder at 37 as part of the
Carson Palmer trade. Reggie McKenzie would also trade down in the
fourth and sixth rounds, continuing a rebuild that aims to remove the
Raiders from years of shortsighted decisions.
There will be more. Thompson's day in Green Bay is far from finished.
Schneider might already have usurped him with his core in Seattle, and
McKenzie's going to build a good team that could emerge as the class of
the post–Peyton Manning AFC West. Next, it'll be college scouting
director Brian Gutekunst or director of pro personnel Eliot Wolf, who
just happens to be Ron Wolf's son (maybe he should belong to the Wolf
tree instead of the Thompson tree). In any case, Thompson has become one
of the most respected and impressive personnel men in all of football.
His legacy will be both in what he produces with the Packers and in how
the people who learned alongside and underneath him enjoy success
elsewhere. And if they follow the Thompson Way, well, success should
Trading for Julio was a no brainer. No one can honestly criticize that decision. The glut of offensive and defensive line busts though are an entirely different matter.

We drafted a ton on dline that just haven't worked out. If they would have worked out then we wouldn't be having this conversation.
You can't keep drafting the same positions over and over and ignoring future needs.
The two cbs will be studs. Toilolo will be Gonzos successor. The rest of this year will be getting these guys more and more playing time. All the injuries suck, but now that we are out of playoff view it's time to develop the younger guys so they are better come next year.
I have a feeling we'll be trading our probable top 10 pick *if not top 5* to some team desperate for a QB and pick up more picks. I just hope the picks don't go to waste. We need IMPACT PLAYERS on the lines.
Throw the baby out with the bath water.
The chiefs were 2-14 now 7-0
The Saints 7-9 now 6-1
We were one step away from the super bowl. The injuries killed us. We have a ton of young talent. It takes time to develop. Does anyone think we Draft 7 studs? Get real. We need help in spots and we can fill in this summer. It's not the end of the world it's one losing season.
I don't know. Baker, Blalock, Reynolds, and Trueblood are all vets and they're all at very best barely average to flat out suckass. They are all way past "development" at this point.
Hawley and Johnson are in their 3rd year and shown us nothing when they've been healthy enough to play. Gunn is average or worse. Schraeder is a UDFA for a reason. And Holmes, we don't really know yet, but so far he's been mediocre at best and a liability who can't stop false starting to save his life. Maybe he develops to be decent, but fuck sakes he has a LONG way to go. Konz we don't really know yet. He's been ok, but nothing special. I agree he and Holmes need more development. But I'm not sensing greatness from either of them.
On DL, Umenyiora is old and done soon. Babs is the ONLY DL we have worth a shit right now. Biermann, as versatile as he is, is still only average at best. Massaquoi and Matthews have shown nothing special. There's certainly no hint of greatness hiding there. Jerry is a bust, pure and simple. Peters is as average as average gets. Maponga and Goodwin aren't getting any play time for a reason, but i'll give them the benefit of the doubt and agree maybe they could develop into something.
LB is a hot fucking mess. Spoon, when healthy, is really good, but then that's it. That's our LB corps in a nutshell. Dent is looking better, but then again, when you go from being complete ultra dog shit to below average, people can mistaken you for a gem. But that's not the case. His stats still suck total fucking donkey bawls. Nicholas sucks, plain and simple. And our depth consists of 2 UDFA's who are playing at the same level as Dent.
Willie Mo is a stud, period. DeCoud is one of the worst tackling FS's in the league, but he's got decent pass coverage skills. He's still below average IMO. If you look at fantasy football stats, DeCoud is total shit by comparison to the rest of the league for a reason. Fantasy football IDP is about tackles and interceptions and DeCoud has about 30 safeties ahead of him that would be picked before him. Our depth at safety is simply unknown.
Our CB's are a bright spot. I think we have studs at CB all around. Maybe could use some depth there once Asante is gone. And he needs to be gone. Dude is a liability x10 against the run and he's slowed down tremendously in pass coverage.
So I don't know man. There's not a lot to develop. And what we do have there to be developed looks pretty shitty to be honest. I'm struggling to make an excuse for TD anymore and you know me. I use to be his biggest advocate. I'm just being honest now. Too much shit not passing the eye test anymore.

It doesn't really go both ways. You can nitpick every moment in each loss or win and say the game could go either way. The fact is we were in position to play in the Super Bowl last year but didn't. The Seahawks weren't.Matt Ryan was our deficiency on Sunday. The awful D gave him plenty of stops in the second half to win that game and he handed the ball back to the Cards 4 times. Same goes for his gangbusters performance against GB or the Giants in the playoffs. Luckily for him this is a team sport. Our much maligned D has played well many times and bailed Ryan out when he couldn't carry the team.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - In the past two weeks, the ECAC has bestowed Miki Seltzer and team captain Sarah Peterson with its weekly awards. Seltzer won Specialist of the Week for the third time this season after the Mar. 17 quad meet at West Virginia, while Patterson won the Co-Coaches' Choice award for her performance at the Mar. 24 quad meet at Penn State.
At WVU, Seltzer scored a 9.8 on the floor, the second highest score on the event. She placed behind a three-way tie of WVU gymnasts, whose team is currently ranked within the top 30 in the nation.
Peterson competed for the first time at Penn State after a serious injury she suffered at the very beginning of the season. Her elegant beam routine scored a 9.15.
The Bulldogs will compete at the ECAC Championships on Saturday, Mar. 31. The meet starts at 12pm in Cornell's Newman Arena.

Anybody visiting the Cordillera Blanca this Summer? I'm trying to decide between Peru or going back to Ecuador.
How easy is it to find partners in Huaraz? Would hate to go down there and come up empty...or have to shell out $1000 a mountain to hire a guide.
Edit to add: Also considering the Arequipa volcanoes, Coropuna and Ampato...any experiences good or bad to share?

Serena Williams squeaks by Medina Garrigues in 3 sets to reach Madrid Open semifinals
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MADRID – Top-ranked Serena Williams outlasted Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3, 0-6, 7-5 to reach the Madrid Open semifinals on Friday.
Williams appeared to wear down against the scrappy Spaniard on the red clay court. After getting blanked in the second set, she fell behind 4-2 in the third.
But the defending champion rallied to break Medina Garrigues' serve twice to move on.
"It was definitely a battle," Williams said. "I obviously didn't do much in the second set and gave her confidence to play better."
Second-seeded Maria Sharapova played Kaia Kanepi in a late quarterfinal at the Caja Magica.
Williams' entertaining match against an opponent she had rightly described as a "grinder" the day before took several momentum swings.
The 63rd-ranked Medina Garrigues has 10 career clay-court titles — the most of any active player — and her footwork and hustle against Williams showed why.
Williams was ahead 2-0 in the third set and with two break chances to take firm control of the match, but Medina Garrigues ran off four straight points to hold serve and soon enough the upset looked to be in the works.
But Williams regained command of her groundstrokes and a deep drive forced Medina Garrigues into an error on her return and lose serve.
The American then used another powerful shot to break Medina Garrigues again before holding serve at love to close out the match.
Williams said she was still at a loss as to why she lost concentration in that second set, which she considered "a reference for what not to do."
"I just wasn't really into it, my feet weren't moving," she said. "To change it I got up early (before the third set) and did some high knees, some stretching, anything I could to get my intensity back up to where it needs to be."
Williams improved her record to 29-2 on the year.
Also later, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray had quarterfinal matches.

Said By Alexie Di Onieman you people are bad. Im Catholic and im going to go see it. I think its a good description of how jesus had suffered for us. Tweak y wont your mom let you see it? cause its R?
How do you possibly know wether or not it is a "good description" of anything if you haven't even seen it???
Said By alexie di onieI think its a good description of how jesus had suffered for us.
Said By Drifteryou mean would never have begun . The reason there are no built up hatreds toward the Romans for killing Christ is because after many years after Jesus' death Rome changed. After time, the spreading of Christianity spread so much that even Rome changed its views in the persecutions of Christians and eventually made Christianity the State Religion of the empire. So, in time Rome did acknowledge Jesus but the Jews never did, so naturally there was some kind of built up of blame towards Jews.
Said By Wildcat22I never did get why there was talk of the movie being anti-semetic. Me and my Jewish girlfriend went to see it and she found nothing wrong with it. If anything it "blamed" the Romans for the death of Jesus.

EHR Certification Value (or lack therof)
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
It seems like this question comes up every couple months about the value of EHR certification. A reader of EMR and HIPAA, QA, recently offered the following comment about EHR certification.
The issue is less that the certification bodies are unscrupulous and more that the certification criteria themselves are a joke.
If one thinks that certification denotes that a system is safe, usable, reliable and will support the care delivery needs of any particular healthcare organization, then one will be quite disappointed.
If one thinks that certification denotes that a company offering a system has certain financial stability, legal liability coverage or quality management systems in place, one will be similarly disappointed.
ONC has no interest in rigorous certification. Only higher attestation numbers.
I think this comment hits the nail on the head. I won't say that EHR certification provides no value, but let's not do what far too many people are doing and misconstrue the value EHR certification offers. I echo QA's comments that EHR certification does not certify:
- EHR Safety
- EHR Usability
- EHR Reliability
- EHR Financial Stability
- EHR Liability Coverage
- EHR Quality Management
Let's not make EHR certification into more than what it delivers. I think most people have gotten this message, but a few are still lingering in the shadows.

Category SPIRITUALITY
This morning I awoke and thought of all the things I needed to do today. Meditate. Journal. Get up, have shower, make bed. Get stuck into writing my program 'Everything You Want and Need to Know About Manifesting'. See clients. Do grocery shopping. Go to yoga. Clean the house. Take out the rubbish. Pay bills. Get office organized. Answer emails. Pick up my daughter from school. Get dinner sorted. Put on a load of washing. Return phone calls. By the time I'd finished mentally reviewing the list of everything I needed to do, I found my energy had dropped and I was feeling heavy, tired and a general sense of lackluster.
Whilst I love my work, it felt like the day had no light in it. It felt like I had no light shining within me. I was setting myself up to do what I wanted to do, but I wasn't feeling the joy. And then it hit me. Where is the joy? Where is the joy in my day? Where is the joy in my life?
All too often our lives can become overrun with all the things we need to do and get done. All the things that demand our attention and insist on taking priority. All the things we need to address in order to keep the wheels turning in our lives. Or spinning. And yet where is the joy in that? Where is the light? Where is the fun? Is it just a tiny order placed on the side of life next to the main dish called 'work'? Or should we perhaps be moving it on to the main plate and serving it up to ourselves to balance out the meal with great lashings of deliciousness?
What Brings YOU Joy?
Where is the joy in your life? What brings the light into your day? Where is your fun-ny bone connecting up to the rest of you and the way you show up in the world? I thought I had lots of joy in my life, and I do. But I when I asked myself this question this morning as I was running through my 'to do' list, I realized that heaviness had crept in and I hadn't given myself permission to really give weight to the joy in my life and to dream this in fully. I looked at my intentions and what I have been dreaming myself to experience over the rest of my life, and the light of fun and joy and jubilation wasn't shining quite as brightly off the pages of my dreaming book as I knew I was capable of experiencing it.
What is it that brings us joy? What is it that makes us light up from the inside out? What is it that brings a smile to our face and activates the life force within us to turn up a few notches and radiate throughout our being?
We tend to think of having fun as being child's play. And it is. But if we don't nurture our inner child, we simply grow up too fast and whither and die. Giving ourselves permission to play and have fun is what this lifetime is for. It's the balancing factor, the pay off for all the hard work that we do. Its what makes us sing from the inside out and causes us to spread with contagion the radiant glow of our soul.
You Are Here To Shine With Joy!
We are here to shine our light in this world by having fun. Fun generates joy. Joy generates light. Like in the movie Monster's Inc, joy, fun, laughter is more powerful and generates more energy and light than anything else. It connects us with our soul, with our inner light, with our Divine Essence, and brings us into a place of oneness with the world. When we're having fun, when we're feeling the joy, all is right in our world and we feel a sense of reprieve from all the woes.
So where is the joy in your life? Where is that all important ingredient that brings the balance into all the efforts that you fill your life and waking moments with? Is it all hard work? Or are you having fun and filled with joy?

I was talking with a friend recently who'd been experiencing ongoing difficulties with her ex-husband and also a neighbor who was proving extremely challenging. She'd found herself getting very angry and upset, as old buttons were being pushed, and emotional patterns being reactivated. 'I read somewhere that if you're upset with another person, that if you imagine sending love and light to them that it can help. So I've been doing that and it seems to be making me feel less upset. But I'm worried it might stop working,' she nervously laughed.
If we find our buttons being pushed with someone in our life, it's not the other person that we need to be sending love and light to. It's Us.
Sending loving light-filled energy is a lovely thing to do. Especially when we're sending it free of any attachment to outcome, to areas of the world experiencing extreme suffering and difficulties. However, when it comes to sending it to other people who are pressing our buttons and who haven't actually asked us to send them loving energy, it probably means that it's Us that needs healing. Not them.
It's so easy for us to get caught in the illusion that we're such a wonderful person sending loving energy to people who are annoying us. However, sending loving energy to someone who hasn't asked for it and may not actually want it from us, is exerting our free will over theirs and not a responsible thing to do. It's not our right to do that. And usually we're doing it with a holier-than-thou approach, because we're seeing the other person as being 'wrong' in some way and in need of fixing.
If someone's pushing our buttons and we're finding ourselves reacting, then we're the ones that are hurting, and we're the ones that are in need of healing. Not the other way round. The other person may well be having a merry old time lashing out at us and expressing themselves however they wish. However if we find ourselves feeling an emotional reaction and know that our triggers are being activated, then it means that there are old wounds within us that are being aggravated and it is our own self that is in need of healing.
The fact that we've been triggered is showing us that is where our loving energy most needs to be sent. To ourselves. To those parts of self that are holding onto old wounds. To those parts of self that are caught up in old stories. To those parts of self that are needing to let go and forgive and move on. We are the ones that need the healing energy, just as much if not moreso than the other person we've been blaming.
This morning as I parked at my local beach, I went to put coins into the parking meter and noticed the payment system has changed. Now when you insert your credit card to pay, you're required to enter your car's registration number, which it then prints on the receipt slip you place in your car window.
It prompted me to contemplate why this additional requirement to enter your car's number plate. Could it be a way of generating additional income? Having to nominate your car's licence plate number on the parking slip means that no one can pass on their parking slip to anyone else to benefit from, should they decide to leave their parking space earlier than their paid for amount of time. To me this felt like an extreme lack of generosity of spirit on the part of the local Council that collects the parking revenue.
Not that long ago there were no parking limits to public parking on the streets. Anyone could park pretty much anywhere they wanted, provided it was safe. Then time limits were introduced, and then came the introduction of parking meters, whereby you put coins in the meter for the parking spot you were parked in, and if you left the spot before the meter 'ran out', then the next person who parked there would benefit from any time credit still left on the meter. Which was only fair given that the parking space had already been paid for for that allocated time. And then came the ticket dispensing machines where you paid for a period of time and then placed the dispensed ticket on the dash of the car for the parking inspector to check. And where there was still time paid for on your ticket, if you were feeling generous you would gift your ticket to another person to use, as you were leaving your parking spot.
But not any more. Now your ticket has to stay with your car and you cant pass it on to anyone else. Which means the local Councils get to double and triple dip when it comes to revenue raising as parking spaces get paid for over and over again for more time than is actually used. Read More…

Joseph Koch, older brother of Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch and a city worker for 35 years, was found dead in his Randolph home on Wednesday. He was 57.
Joseph Koch, older brother of Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch and a city worker for 35 years, was found dead in his Randolph home on Wednesday. He was 57.
The cause of death is under investigation and there is no evidence of foul play, the Norfolk County District Attorney's office said.
"We're all just tremendously saddened and all our thoughts right now are with the entire Koch family during this incredibly difficult time," Christopher Walker, a spokesman for Mayor Koch, said.
Peggie Krippendorf, spokeswoman for Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey, said her office was notified of Koch's death at about noon Wednesday. She said the death didn't appear to be suspicious and a medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Joseph Koch was one of seven children of Simone Koch and the late Richard Koch, a longtime city parks director. Joseph Koch, who grew up on Newbury Avenue in North Quincy, first joined the city's park department in 1977, when his father was in charge.
He worked for six years as a laborer and equipment operator before transferring to the public works' highway department in 1983. There he rose to the rank of foreman.
After two years in the private sector, Koch was hired by former Mayor James Sheets to rejoin the park department in 1996. His younger brother Thomas, now the city's mayor, was head of the park department at the time.
Joseph Koch worked as a foreman and an arborist for the park department before moving back to the public works department about a year ago.
The Koch family is well-known in Quincy, rooted with Richard Koch's creation of the Koch Club in 1948. The group was a charitable and recreation group that served thousands of the city's youths.
Richard Koch also founded the city's modern Democratic party and was regional campaign secretary for John F. Kennedy's Senate campaigns.

Mediocre, not worth the money.
Lacking the George Lucas story line, this by far the worst Star Wars I have seen, Jedi training was a joke. Terrible writing.
Plot twists propel this film and franchise. While some of it drags, it has some real action and leaves you thinking what's next
Should be called Star Snores. Some good action scenes but a lame story and slow subplots ruins it.
Wanted to like this but found it a waste on money and time.
It was boring in many parts and was too long.
Only reason this didn't go down in flames is the Christmas release.
An uninspiring show that is only carried by the respected name of its creator.
Looks like the writer of this fiasco is reading the reviews in order to correct one gaping problem with this movie. In this way there will be an excuse for how lame Luke Skywalker was made to appear.
If I had to list everything that is wrong there's no doubt it would be misunderstood. Suffice to say it was a disaster of epic proportions.

Report: Trump called Comey a 'nut job,' told Russians firing would relieve pressure
President Donald Trump described ex-FBI Director James Comey as a "nut job" before insisting his firing would relieve "great pressure," according to a memo read aloud to The New York Times.
The Times recounted the May 10 meeting between Trump and Russian officials foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Per The Times report:
"I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job," Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off."
White House press secretary Sean Spicer did not refute the details of the memo to The Times.
The developments were a blow to White House efforts to tamp down interest in the Russia investigation as Trump and his staff boarded Air Force One for Saudi Arabia, first stop on his first foreign trip as president. The details of his comments to the Russians would seem to bolster theories that Trump fired Comey in an effort to choke off the Russia investigation.
Earlier this week, the Justice Department appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller to take over the federal investigation in an effort to re-establish independence from the White House.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Last time out
NASHVILLE (Feb. 20, 2012) – Junior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) hit a decisive 3-pointer with 33 seconds left on the clock and the ETSU men's basketball team scored the final seven points of the game to drop Lipscomb 66-57 in Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball action Monday night inside Allen Arena. ... The Bucs were led offensively by a trio of players. Senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) finished with a double-double thanks to his 19-point, 11-rebound effort. Meanwhile, junior guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) scored 17 points to go with four assists and three steals, and Dubose finished with 16 points thanks to a 4-of-7 shooting night from 3-point range. ... In the first half, ETSU opened the scoring with seven straight points, but watched as Lipscomb battled back to tie the game at 11-11. From there, ETSU used an 8-0 run to go up 19-11, and later used another 7-0 spurt to ultimately lead 26-17 at the break. ... Brown led the way for ETSU in the early going with 11 points, while the Bucs' defense forced 10 Lipscomb turnovers and picked up six steals in the first 20 minutes. ... The Bucs lost senior guard Tommy Hubbard (Boston) early in the game, as he went up to steal a pass and collided with Lipscomb's Deonte Alexander. On the play, Hubbard lost his balance and fell hard, hitting his head on the floor before landing on his back. ... Hubbard was conscious following the play and went to the training room for tests, but he missed the rest of the contest and will be evaluated further in the coming days. ... After the break, ETSU led by as many as 13 after scoring the first four points of the half. However, Lipscomb battled back over the next 16 minutes to make it 56-54 with 2:58 left on the clock. ... From there, Lipscomb stayed within two at 59-57, but at that point, Dubose sank his fourth 3-pointer of the game as the shot clock wound down to make it 62-57 with 33.3 seconds left in the contest. ... The Bucs got two big defensive stops from there, while free throws from Cooley and freshman forward John Walton (Memphis), as well as a dunk later from Cooley closed out the game's scoring. ... Walton finished with three blocks, three rebounds, four steals and two points in 21 minutes of action, making the most of his playing time following Hubbard's departure and after Lukas Poderis fouled out late in the second half.
The series versus Stetson
ETSU has faced the Hatters 16 times and the Bucs hold a 9-7 advantage in the series ... However, Stetson has won the last two meetings, including a 73-65 victory back on Dec. 1 of this season.
Last time out against Stetson
DELAND, Fla. (Dec. 1, 2011) – A nightmarish start to the second half doomed the ETSU men's basketball team inside the Edmunds Center, as the Stetson Hatters used a 24-7 offensive run to build a 22-point lead and ultimately drop the Buccaneers 73-65 in the Atlantic Sun Conference opener for both teams. ... In the first half, ETSU struggled to find a rhythm offensively and Stetson used the Bucs' slow start to build a lead of as many as nine points at 25-16, thanks primarily to a 7-0 offensive run late in the half. However, ETSU clawed its way back into the game by outscoring the Hatters 9-3 to make it 28-25 at the break. ... The second half started as a nightmare for the Bucs, as the Hatters went on a 10-0 run early on and ultimately used a 24-7 spurt to make it 58-36 with 9:12 left in the game. From there, Stetson maintained a 20-point plus edge until the 7:26 mark, but at that point ETSU did manage a rally thanks to a 17-2 run that made it 67-60 with 30 seconds left in the game. ... But from there, Stetson hit a basket and went 4-for-4 from the foul line to complete the eight-point victory. ... For the game, a key stat that hurt the Bucs' effort was in the paint, as Stetson held an impressive 45-28 advantage on the boards. Meanwhile, Stetson shot a blistering 46 percent (11-of-24) from 3-point range, as ETSU struggled at the foul line with a 54.2 percent (13-of-24) clip. ... The Bucs also committed 16 turnovers, compared to Stetson's 23. ... Individually, the Bucs got a team-high 20 points from senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami), while senior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) pitched in 13 points, and junior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, Ky.) added 11. ... Stetson got a team-high 20 points from Aaron Graham, who led four Hatters in double figures.
Block party for Brown
With a block in last season's finale against Iona, senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) set a new school record for blocks in a single season, swatting away a total of 71 shots on the year ... For his career, he is now second on the all-time list with 181 blocks, but is just one behind the program's all-time leader Zakee Wadood ... In addition to those marks, Brown's six-block performance against Belmont last year also matched the program's single-game record ... At the time, Brown joined six other ETSU players who have had six-block games, including former standouts Brad Nuckles, Eryk Thomas, Jerald Fields, Zakee Wadood, Greg Dennis and Greg Hamlin.
Bucs lead nation in steals, Cooley ranked 11th on list
Key to the Bucs' wins this year has been the ability to swipe the ball from opponents ... Through games of Feb. 19, ETSU ranks No. 1 in the country in steals per game, averaging 10.5 steals a contest ... Meanwhile, junior Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) has been on a torrid pace this season and a big reason for the Bucs' success in the steals category, averaging a conference best 2.5 steals per game ... He currently ranks 11th nationally in steals per game. ... The Bucs have three players ranked in the Top 10 among A-Sun Conference players in steals: Cooley (1st, 2.5), Tommy Hubbard (2nd, 2.0) and Adam Sollazzo (5th, 1.7).
Rembert breaks out
Freshman guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa), who was recruited for his ability to score the basketball, came off the bench to provide valuable minutes in the Bucs' win over Kennesaw State (2/4) ... Going a perfect 4-for-4 from the field and 3-for-3 from 3-point range, Rembert netted 11 points for ETSU during a critical stretch midway through the game ... Afterwards, head coach Murry Bartow commented how Rembert was probably the player of the game.
Brown sets new career mark
With his 27-point effort in the win over North Florida, senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) set a new career high for single-game scoring ... Brown, who was honored prior to the UNF game for recently eclipsing 1,000 points for his career, put on an offensive show against the Ospreys ... For the 6-foot-8 senior, it was his best game since netting 25 points against Kentucky in the 2010-11 season opener.
Sollazzo stepping up his offensive game
Senior point guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has found a strong offensive rhythm in recent games ... In his last 23 games, Sollazzo has scored in double figures 18 times, eclipsing 20 points in five of those games ... Over that time frame, he has averaged 15.6 points, 4.1 assists, and 5.3 rebounds, and is shooting 44 percent from the floor. ... Sollazzo currently ranks first on the team in points (14.7 ppg) and assists (4.3 apg), and third in rebounds (5.4 rpg).
Walton provides valuable minutes off the bench
Having waited patiently for an opportunity to contribute, freshman forward John Walton (Memphis) made the most of his opportunity in the Bucs' win over Lipscomb (2/20) ... With senior guard Tommy Hubbard (Boston) out with an injury early in the game, Walton came on and set new career marks for minutes played (21), rebounds (3), blocks (3) and steals (4) ... He also pitched in a pair of free throws ... For the 6-foot-8 forward, it was a chance to show what he can bring to the Bucs' lineup.
Poderis reaches career mark for rebounds
In recent weeks, junior forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) has become a truly valuable part of the Buccaneers attack ... In the win over Mercer, Poderis picked up a career high 10 rebounds, and that effort came two days after he matched his career high for points with 14 against USC Upstate ... In the win over Kennesaw State, he posted another nine-rebound effort ... For the year, Poderis is averaging 4.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 19.7 minutes a game.
On their way to 1,000 points
As they began their seniors seasons, ETSU's trio of Isiah Brown, Adam Sollazzo and Tommy Hubbard were all eying the 1,000 point mark for their careers. While Brown has now reached the mark, Hubbard and Sollazzo are still in the hunt. After the Bucs' last game, here is where each stands:
Adam Sollazzo ................................................................ 964 points
Tommy Hubbard ........................................................... 836 points
To reach 1,000, the three would have to average for the season:
Adam Sollazzo............................................ 14.8 points per game
Tommy Hubbard....................................... 14.7 points per game
Getting to the free throw line a key for the Bucs
In recent years, the Bucs have focused on playing stingy defense, but also driving to the basket on offense and trying to get "tough" points thanks to fouls ... One way for the ETSU coaching staff to determine how successful the Bucs have been is charting free throw attempts and makes ... Well if this statistic is a true indicator, then the Bucs did just as the coaches would like ... Last season, ETSU set a school record for free throw attempts, putting up a total of 856 free tosses ... The Bucs also made their share of those attempts, ranking second on the all-time list with 580 makes ... The 2010-11 edition of the Bucs came up just nine makes short of the all-time record, held by the 1991-92 Bucs at 589. ... This season, after starting out the year shooting poorly from the foul line, the Bucs are have improved those numbers and are now shooting 64 percent for the year as a team.
Bucs add to postseason resume
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Buccaneers -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.

Anyone with a bi-polar teen or have experience with one?
Ok so long story. My brother has 2 teen boys from a previous marraige. The youngest is 16, we will call him S. He has been in and out of trouble for the last few years. He cuts stuff up, spray painted a rivals garage and has cut holes in his bedroom wall with knives..among many other things.
So my brother wanted to move closer to his work, he was commuting an hour and a half. He and his wife have 2 sons, 4 and 1 year old. When they moved to the new place S did not like his new school, he said people wanted to fight him and he doesn't want to fight. After a few months, he cut up a couch in the living room and my brother had enough. He allowed S to go back to his old town and live with his best friends family. It was going ok then my brother got a call that S had taken the fathers cross bow and shot an arrows through a family heirloom wordrobe door. They were sending him back.
So my mom was there the other day when S was there, she talked to him and he said he doesn't know what is wrong with him. He said that as far back as he can remember he was always fascinated with guns and knives and wanted to do stuff with them to stuff, not to people. He said he knows that something is wrong with him but he doesn't know what. But that he doesn't want to be around people. They make him feel weird, except for his little brothers who he adores.
So I emailed my brother last night to ask if they had taken him to see a doctor. I got this as an email:
Took him to our DR who said he thinks S is
Giving him some meds. Still thinking about what the
next step is. His attitude is awful. I want to help
him, but it may get to a point where he'll have to
leave. He's running out of options.
I am heartbroken. I mean I am not in the situation to know how bad it is, but to just give up on your kid when he is obviously ill and needs help. I just dont get it.
A few other facts that may add to the whole situation:
1. S was diagnosed ith ADHD and has been on meds for a few years, helped a bit with school.
2. My brothers wife hates S and they havee had a long standing rivalry.
3. S's mom did drugs while pregnant.
So I am hoping that someone can point me in the direction of some place for them to get help, information...anything.
Thank you so much, Danni

Re: Anyone with a bi-polar teen or have experience with one?
Oh Danni. This sounds eerily similar to Shawn's nephew, the one I told you about. Except that T used to hurt people and animals when he was younger, and I'm 100% sure there was no drug or alcohol use, just cigarettes. It is such a hard thing to deal with.
I wish I had some advice or information to give. Right now, we try to see what is positive about T, instead of always dwelling on what is negative. I know that is so much easier said then done. I see a couple things positive in this situation: S doesn't have an urge to hurt people, and things can be replaced. Your brother WANTS to help S, and just needs support to do that.
What bothers me is that you say your SIL hates S. Is she unwilling to see that he needs help? She is allowed to have her feelings about people, no matter what they are, but she needs to see that her attitude towards S is not going to make things better. She doesn't have to like him. But he IS her stepson, and therefore a part of her family. IMO, she needs to try and be part of the solution.
I feel for your brother. That is such a hard situation. For me, I always feel good having a diagnosis, like you can move forward from there. I hope you get some answers for him. Please keep me updated. for your brother and his family. I don't envy his position.
I don't know if that makes sense or if it's just rambling but Cody is peeing on stuff so i gotta go clean it up.
Aaaaaaand he got my couch.

Re: Anyone with a bi-polar teen or have experience with one?
Sounds like a really rough situation right now, for everybody!
My entire teenage life was spent with a stepmom whom I did NOT get along with-- she antagonized me as much as I did her. It makes it really hard when an "adult" acts like a child to someone who's making the transition from child to adult, IMO.
My only thought is that maybe he could find some sort of volunteer work that he was interested in? I know that people make him uncomfortable, but if you could find a good match... With his interest in weapons it makes is kinda tough/weird, because you don't want to promote any more violence, but if there was some way to find a Healthy outlet for those feelings... also, sounds like being at a new school is really rough on him, he probably comes across to people who don't know him not as uncomfortable or shy, but weird and confrontational. That could push him farther into himself.
Just sort of thinking out loud, here-- the teenage years were rough for me and I had a really close friend who struggled (and still struggles) with bi-polar disorder.
I just think that if his interests could be aroused, if he could volunteer at an animal shelter, or to help disabled kids... I don't know. It would give him something to do besides be down on himself and his life all the time...
Good luck, I really feel for your family and know that this, too, will pass...

Re: Anyone with a bi-polar teen or have experience with one?
I was a bipolar teenager--does that count? If there's a problem with the mom then that will definitely antagonize everything and make it worse. For me, meds helped a little (but I always stopped taking them because my combo didn't help enough, but I know they really help a lot of people) but making friends who weren't into anything scary really helped--sort of a bright spot to look forward to so everything wasn't gloom & doom & crazy until I finished with that whole teenager hormonal thing that makes everything harder.

Re: Anyone with a bi-polar teen or have experience with one?
I was a bi-polar teenager. It's really hard. I hated myself, and because of that I did alot of terrible things. And yes, if the step mom hates him it will make everything worse. My grandmother made my life from the time I was small a living hell, and trust me when I say it only made everything I was going through as a teen so much worse. The things to keep in mind is that they can't just treat one aspect of the bi-polar. Alot of psychiatrists want to treat just the depression, or they prescribe something for both but the child stops medicating when they get manic and feel good, so they crash again. It becomes a really viscious cycle. Also it is possible that if he is still on the ADHD meds they are making matters worse for him. He needs to be in an enviroment with people he can trust and people who actually want to help him. If his stepmom is being childish or cruel to him (or even just treating him differently) he will know and it will make matters so much worse than they need to be. I wish I had some better advice for you. The best thing to do is for his dad to talk to him. If he can find out what he is interested in and help him focus on that, and do those things with him, it could be a real help.

Re: Anyone with a bi-polar teen or have experience with one?
My baby brother is bi polar. He hears voices, "see's" people, "thinks" people think/feel/believe things/hate him, hurts himself and others, is extremely destructive, has even killed a pet fish, and is inappropriately sexual (flashes), the whole 9 yards. He's only 6yo. He was adopted and we know his birth mother used drugs and alcohol while pg. He's also been diagnosed with ADHD. Poor kid takes a whole hand full of meds at least 2xs daily.
What I know is…..Manic episodes Kill brain cells. The worse the episode the more it kills. The RIGHT meds help a TON!! But they must constantly be monitored and changed as he grows/matures. Counseling once to twice weekly helps a TON. Almost anything emotional or environmental can 'set him off'. So day light savings time wreaks havoc on our lives, so does a bad day at school or a bad grade on a paper.
We also found out that because it was caught so early (my mom ROCKS!) and he's getting proper care for it there is a chance that when he's in his 20's he'll lead a totally normal med free life!! We are really excited about that!! Because of course with how extreme he is there is also a chance that if un-medicated he could become a mass murder as a teenager. But we are NOT going to let that happen!!!!
The thing is when his meds are just right he's totally normal and such a cool kid!!! It was amazing to see him go from having so many problems being depressed, gloomy and almost without personality to getting diagnosed, getting help and meds to turning into a happy, clever, outgoing, loving kid with a great personality. The difference in him was night and day!! Yeah as he grows/gets older the meds need adjusting/changed and we can TELL when that is needed!! Right now he's very manic. Mom is in the process of starting to wean him off Abilify while weaning him onto something new. It's a little scary cause we can only hope the Drs know him well enough that the new med will be right for him. But it's also a really great thing because he has an attention tremor that we believe is being exaggerated by the Abilify (thank you new studies!!). It's a very frustrating disability for him!! He can't snap and button clothes or tie his shoes.
Sorry this is so long! My point is your nephew needs to get diagnosed. Then he needs proper counseling and meds. He'll be so much happier and more able to cope with life without being destructive and abusive to himself and others.

Apple was downgraded on Monday at R.W. Baird, where the senior equity analyst responsible for the rating just isn't convinced that consensus estimates are correct.
"We think there is a real downside to estimates, and it's going to be tough for the stock to outperform over the next several months," said Will Power, whose firm downgraded Apple to "neutral" from "outperform" with a price target of $465, well under the current consensus price target of $627.72.

Jonathan Yeo's Malala portrait brings $102,500
NEW YORK (AP) — A British artist's portrait of a young Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' education has brought in more than $100,000 at auction.
Christie's says the painting of Malala Yousafzai (mah-LAH'-lah YOO'-suhf-zeye) by Jonathan Yeo (yoh) sold for $102,500 on Wednesday, including the buyer's premium.
Yeo painted Yousafzai in 2013 after she started attending a school in Birmingham, England, where she now lives.
FILE - This undated file photo issued Tuesday Sept. 10, 2013, by the British National Portrait Gallery, shows a painting by artist Jonathan Yeo depicting the teenager education activist Malala Yousafzai, doing her homework. The portrait of the young Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' education is being sold by its British artist to help further her cause. (AP Photo / Jonathan Yeo, British National Portrait Gallery, File)
The sale proceeds are going to the Malala Fund charity. The fund said the money would in turn be given to Nigerian nonprofits that focus on education for women and girls in the wake of the kidnapping of more than 300 schoolgirls in that country.
Yeo is famous for life-like portraits of well-known figures, including Sienna Miller, Kevin Spacey and Rupert Murdoch.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A portrait of a young Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' education is being sold by its British artist to help further her cause.
Jonathan Yeo, a leading British portraitist, painted Malala Yousafzai in 2013 shortly after she started attending a school in Birmingham, England, where she now lives.
The painting hung in the National Portrait Gallery in London last year for an exhibition of Yeo's portraits of well-known figures including Sienna Miller, Kevin Spacey and Rupert Murdoch.
Christie's auction house is offering the Malala portrait, which shows the teenager doing her homework, on Wednesday. It has a presale estimate of $60,000 to $80,000.
Yeo's said he will donate all the proceeds to The Malala Fund.
"I hope it goes to a good home. Anyone who will hopefully spend a good bit of money on it is someone who sees the importance of her own work," the artist said.
Malala was 15 when she was shot in 2012 as she traveled to her Pakistani school. President Barack Obama has called her the "bravest girl in the world."
In an interview last week, Yeo said he wanted the portrait to capture "this extraordinary dichotomy" of someone with "enormous power and wisdom" but also someone who is still very young.
"Her birth instinct isn't self-pity but rather what else she could do to help other girls in her position," Yeo added.
He said he spent "a lot of time chatting" with her and "hearing her world views and what her life is like" before sitting down to paint her.
Yeo, whose works are also in the Royal Collection, said he depicted her doing homework to reflect the irony that "the simple everyday thing she's doing was what created the cataclysmic change in her life that nearly killed her."
When the portrait was finished Yeo said Malala told him "it's how she sees herself."

text: I'd already written about celebratory homebrew (that wasn't so celebratory), so for the holidays I decided to go with something more reliable, albeit less historic: giant beer bottles. My picks were arranged, in the paper at least, from smallest to most monumental. Fin du Monde, a house favorite and plenty punchy, seems featherweight compared to Stone's Double Bastard, which comes in a three-liter totem, complete with a padlocked swing-top cap. You know, so you can't sneak in a midnight tipple. I thought about sabering off the cap, like they did in the Times, but I didn't want to waste a drop. This is beer, after all, not Champagne.
