DePauw Reclaims Bell on 47-yard Kickby Howard Hewitt • November 10, 2007 Share:
DePauw sophomore place-kicker Jordan Havercamp hit his first-ever field goal Saturday and may never hit a bigger one. Havercamp's 47-yard kick returned the Monon Bell to DePauw and handed Wabash its first season loss. The Little Giants (9-1) prepare for the NCAA Division III playoffs November 17. They'll learn their opponent Sunday.
Wabash led 21-13 going into the final quarter but the Tigers put up 11 points to claim the win. Matt Hudson's fourth-down pass intended for Mike Russell was intercepted by Tiger Jevon Pruitt at the DePauw four-yard line. The Tigers took over with just 1:23 remaining in a game that looked as though it was headed to overtime.
Instead, quarterback Spud Dick and running back Jeremiah Marks led the Tigers in nine plays to the Wabash 29. Then Havercamp's heroics ended Wabash's hopes of overtime and an unbeaten season.
The Tigers' win brings the all-time series to 53-52-9 with Wabash holding the one game advantage in the teams' 114th meeting. DePauw finished the year at 8-2. See game action photo albums here and here. See sideline color photos here. And this album features shots from the pre-game tailgating.
"On offense we had our chances but we only scored 21 points," Coach Chris Creighton said. "We had some third downs and some fourth downs and I probably didn't do a good job of making calls but it's a credit to their defense. It's a team effort and offensively we didn't keep the ball or put the game away when we had our chances. They're a really good team and we feel as though we're a really good team. They just got us today."
DePauw chewed up 185 yards on the ground to Wabash's 61 which helped the Tigers control time of possession. Tiger Senior Jeremiah Marks carried the ball 45 times for 181 yards. The Wabash defense was on the field most of the game. DePauw ran 82 offensive plays to Wabash's 52 and controlled time of possession 38 minutes to 22.
"Jeremiah Marks is a great football player," Creighton said. "He was playing his last college football game. We knew he was going to run like he was on fire. It's a credit to him and their offensive line. They wanted to run it and they did."
It was a classic battle. Wabash got on the board first in the second quarter when Matt Hudson strolled untouched around right end from one yard out after completing a 49-yard pass to Mike Russell. But the Tigers came right back to tie the game on Dick's 10-yard pass to Bryan Mulligan.
The Little Giants countered, driving 68 yards in seven plays with C.P. Porter taking it from two yards out. A Hudson to Russell 38-yard pass set up the score.
DePauw struck first in the second half on a Mark's 36-yard run after hauling in a short pass from Dick, but Haverkamp's kick failed, making it 14-13 Wabash. The Little Giants then got what would be their final score with time winding down in the third quarter. Taking over at their 20 with 2:51 to play in the quarter, the Little Giants moved 15 yards in three plays but then pulled off a beauty.
Hudson found Bart Banach deep over the middle; Banach broke free of a tackler and romped the final 30 yards into the end zone for a 21-13 lead.
The Tigers finally tied up the game late in the fourth quarter on a 15-play, 83-yard drive that took 7:19 off the clock. Dick hit Marks from eight yards out to pull DePauw within two. The Tigers completed the two-point conversion when Dick found Alex Koors for the two points to tie the game at 21-21.
Wabash then took the kick and moved 35 yards to the DePauw 35, but faced fourth-and-five. Hudson lofted a deep pass inside the five that was picked off by Pruitt to then set up the final drive and Havercamp's kick. Havercamp transferred from Denison. The winning kick was his first attempt of the season.
"This wasn't a whole lot of fun today and it wasn't the plan," Creighton said. "But we're going to be okay. I told the guys they have to keep their heads up and that's hard. It's easier to hang your heads. We've been through some adversity before and we've been able to respond."
The game was filled with big plays and outstanding performances. Senior All-American linebacker Adi Pynenberg had 19 tackles, two for loss, and he had one of the more memorable plays of the season. Late in the first half DePauw drove the ball from its own 35 to Wabash's goal line. On a third and goal from the two, Dick completed a swing pass to 240-pound fullback Brett Claxton on the right flat that appeared open for the score. Pynenberg closed quickly and nailed the fullback right at the one in front of a screaming Wabash student section.
Dick's fourth down pass failed completing the Little Giant's goal line stand.
Thomas Bell and Rich Lehman each had 10 tackles with Chad Peterman and Matt Kraft collecting nine and eight, respectively. The Little Giants were not able to record a sack.
Seven Little Giant receivers caught passes led by Russell's eight catches for 151 yards. Hudson hit 21-of-33 passes for 322 yards and one interception yards. He also rushed for a touchdown.
DePauw finished with 485 yards of total offense to Wabash's 383. Another telling statistic was third and fourth down conversions. DePauw was 11-of-17 on third down to Wabash's 5-of-10. DePauw was good on 2-of-4 fourth down tries while Wabash failed on both its fourth down attempts.
Wabash, headed to the post-season for the third time under Coach Creighton, will learn its first round opponent Sunday at noon.

At the July 27 Sherborn Board of Selectmen meeting, the Sherborn Library Expansion project sparked discussions about town hall campus parking, a potential second access to the campus and the details of the updated project plans, which were the focus of the initial agenda item.
At the July 27 Sherborn Board of Selectmen meeting, the Sherborn Library Expansion project sparked discussions about town hall campus parking, a potential second access to the campus and the details of the updated project plans, which were the focus of the initial agenda item.
Ultimately, the selectmen did vote to authorize the library to shared use of the town hall campus areas identified in the plan for the project, but an involved conversation took place about many aspects of it.
Mary Moore, chairperson of the library trustees, presented the plans, which featured a utility area off the police station parking area with a new generator that would service a 21,000-gallon fire suppression tank and air conditioner suppression units as well as a possible expanded stormwater basin below the station.
The goal, she said, was to create the least amount of disruption to the campus. And, with a plan in place, she added that they could look at the logistics involved with accomplishing it.
Moore said, "I think the overall plan is in good shape."
She said the enclosed generator will be natural gas, and Vice Chairman Paul DeRensis noted the possibility of having evergreens around it for security and aesthetics.
She noted that the plans call for 8-foot tall wooden slat fencing, but she could bring his suggestion to the Library Building Committee.
Selectman Charlie Yon inquired why it was not adjacent to the building, and Selectman Sean Killeen responded that there is not a good place to put it near the building as it would be on the wrong side to provide power. Killeen also noted the site utilities are too compact there to allow a generator closer.
Moore added, "There's really not much else you can do from a building standpoint."
Town Collector Nancy Hess asked about the septic system, specifically the digestion tank making the potential of another access to the campus area impossible.
Moore said the idea was to create a centralized area for utilities such as the septic system and did not believe its location precluded any future work in the area.
Chairman Michael Giaimo asked whether they could provide a rough sketch of where a back entrance to Sawin Street could go.
Moore said there was potential to use earmarked money for an access road in the project, and DeRensis added that the idea of having access to the campus via Sawin Street has been discussed for many years.
He clarified that there is a road currently being used by police personnel on campus, but not by the public.
Hess brought up the fact that in the past, designs for the area have proposed coming in where the pump may be located. Giaimo added the question they have to ask is whether someone could design an access point to work with past design ideas for the area.
Susan Tyler of the Traffic Safety Committee said the access and parking plan they have liked is to make it a direct shot through coming from Route 16 with everything in a "one-way flow" with parallel parking.
Giaimo said if the library's plans do not coordinate with the aforementioned design, they need to "figure what would work."
He raised the issue of having a logistics plan in terms of access for the construction of the project and what space would be needed for the contractors. Moore said before the current plans they were not sure what "the logistics plan needed to look like."
Noting that they have talked to Police Chief Richard Thompson on the subject, she added, "Now we're closer to knowing what a logistics plan might look like."
She said she would be happy to support the idea of having an access road and attending more meetings to figure out a solution if necessary.
The selectmen's comments were two-fold in scope as Killeen said the concern was where temporary parking for construction vehicles would be, and Yon added that the other issue was having a permanent second access road.
There was discussion between Hess and Killeen about the concern about parking during construction and details regarding the possibility of an access and how it could be done.
Hess said the town needs to know how the contractors are going to be able to park their vehicles during construction. As the access road in question has not been built yet, Killeen said he supported "letting the library project be the library project" in addition to fixing any parking issues on the campus.
Selectman Mark Brandon said whether residents would want a second access road would be a Town Meeting question and suggested the board could move to support the plans and then return with a logistics plan at a later date.
Giaimo noted, "I like that idea. I would say that we're not looking for the library to engineer a road."
His concern was to consider the long-term scope so as to not "nail a door shut that we didn't need to nail shut." Giaimo wanted the flexibility of having an access road during construction.
Hess believed the issue of additional parking for the campus needed to be addressed and aesthetics should be part of the discussion.
She asked that town committees have input on the plan as they have "spent a great deal of time" talking about town hall campus parking and access.
Town Administrator David Williams said he would continue to work with Community Maintenance and Development Director Ed Wagner on a plan until something was put on paper and presented at a selectmen's meeting.
At that point, he said, "Then, we could have a discussion."

"Head" (頭, Atama, Viz: The Brains) is chapter 613 of the original Naruto manga.
As various shinobi as well as techniques bear down on the two Uchiha, Madara realises that they were being targeted this time. He notes, however, that in order to do that, the Alliance would have had to stop the Ten-Tails first. With this, a powerful blast sends the incoming shinobi flying away and the further-matured Ten-Tails emerges from the pit. While the medical teams move out to tend to the injured, Shikaku, Inoichi, Ao and the others discuss what was happening on the battlefield. Now finding it even harder to control the beast, Obito and Madara use Hashirama's cells in order to fortify their control over the beast as the former agrees with the legendary Uchiha that it was time they showed the Allied Shinobi Forces true despair. As the beast fires off a Tailed Beast Ball, Kitsuchi is able to deflect its course using Earth Release underfoot the beast. A second Tailed Beast Ball is launched which detonates in a nearby lake and a third which Hiashi notes, destroys an entire town in an instant. Initially believing that the towns where the civilians were, was now unsafe, the fourth Tailed Beast Ball which is launched is noted to be heading straight for HQ as Shikaku surmised. As Inoichi asks for directives, Shikaku tells him that the only thing they could do was what they were assigned to until the very end, and for what appears to be the final time, Inoichi patches Shikaku through to the entire Alliance as the genius Nara passes on his final strategy to defeat the enemy. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Madara exclaims that they were finally able to get them with the Tailed Beast Ball, noting that it was a simple war tactic to take out the "head" of their opposition.

Spotlighting the Local Talent from Railfest 2013 [PHOTOS]
This last weekend some fine local talent appeared in downtown Texarkana, we were unable to get information from the Frontstreet Organization, but Facebook friends made posts, and sent emails of pics so we could spotlight our local performers.
Apologies to our local talent, but our radio station was excluded from the frontstreet stage this year, but we felt it important to recognize your commitment to entertaining the citizens of our community, and your patience with the festival organizers...
I hate that we don't have any video, but here are some photos of the local acts that took the stage downtown, and put on some of the best live performances of the weekend... Thanks to Don Riddle for bringing this to our attention, and thanks to his wife Laura for the photos.
To see the way you were treated on the event's Facebook page is disgraceful, and hopefully there will be reviews by local government in the handling of the railfest event.

Former state chemist Annie Dookhan does not have a master's degree in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts Boston as she claims on her resume, officials at the school confirmed Tuesday, raising fresh doubts about the credibility of the woman at the center of the burgeoning state drug laboratory scandal.
Dookhan, who resigned from the Jamaica Plain lab in March amid an investigation, received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the university in 2001, officials said. But school records show that Dookhan took no additional courses after completing her undergraduate degree in 2001. UMass Boston officials said Dookhan requested an application for the master's program, but never completed it.
Dookhan started working for the drug lab, run at the time by the state Department of Public Health, in 2003. She handled 60,000 drug samples, casting doubt on the reliability of evidence used in some 34,000 criminal cases.
Additionally, the chemist testified in criminal cases about 150 times since 2009 and may have jeopardized all of those cases by claiming under oath that she had a master's degree in chemistry. A transcript suggests she lied about her education in at least one court hearing, in August 2010.
State officials said that when Dookhan applied for her job at the lab, her resume suggested she was working on her master's degree at UMass Boston. But, they said, an advanced degree was not a job requirement.
When pursuing the job, officials said, Dookhan signed an application attesting, under threat of perjury if she lied, that the information was accurate.
"The Department of Public Health hired Annie on Nov. 3, 2003, as a Chemist I, based upon her meeting the minimum entrance requirements of the position," said Alec Loftus, spokesman for the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. "In 2005, Annie was reclassified as a Chemist II. While neither of the positions she held required a master's degree, it is now clear that she intentionally misled the department about her education during the course of her employment."
Dookhan, who has not been charged with criminal wrongdoing, has been under scrutiny since June 2011, when she improperly removed 90 drug samples from the evidence room without signing them out as required. But the chemist continued to serve as an expert witness in criminal cases for months until state officials became concerned that her misconduct was more extensive than previously believed.
The Patrick administration has identified 1,141 inmates in Massachusetts jails and prisons convicted based on evidence handled by Dookhan. Given the allegations against Dookhan, all of that evidence is now considered potentially tainted.
As drug cases continued to unravel in the scandal's wake, a Brockton man serving 17 years in prison was released on bail Tuesday morning and a Wareham man was freed minutes later after serving half of his three-year sentence.
If not for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold on Manuel J. Abreu, he would have walked out of Plymouth Superior Court on the $7,500 cash bail posted by his family.
Despite arguments from prosecutors, Judge Frank Gaziano granted the bail, in part because of concerns about drug evidence tested at the now-shuttered lab.
Defense attorney Michael Traft said the weight of cocaine authorities allegedly linked to Abreu increased during the years it was in government custody.
Traft said the allegations about Dookhan manipulating drug samples and the fact that she is shown on government records as having had access to evidence in Abreu's case warranted his client being freed on bail pending an appeal.
Dookhan testified in criminal cases about 150 times since 2009. All of those cases may be in jeopardy by her claims under oath that she had a master's degree in chemistry.
When Abreu was arrested by Brockton police in 2005, they allegedly found 182 grams of cocaine in the house he sublet. When retested following the Dookhan scandal, the weight of the cocaine had increased, to 206.25 grams, according to Traft.
Police also allegedly seized crack cocaine weighing 304 grams when tested in the lab in 2005. It now weighs 289 grams, but state officials say shrinkage resulted from moisture evaporating from the crack.
Gaziano sentenced Abreu to 17½ years in state prison earlier this year for drug sales in a school zone and drug trafficking, which carries a mandatory minimum of 15 years behind bars.
"Judge Gaziano has recognized the seriousness of the issue here, based on what we know so far, and ruled today with that in mind," Traft said.
"We are very positive that he will be home soon," said Maria Abreu, the defendant's sister, who attended the bail hearing. "We will fight this all the way."
After his family posted bail, Abreu, who was born in Cape Verde, was transferred to federal custody. It is unclear whether immigrations authorities will hold him until Nov. 27, when Abreu is scheduled to be back in court on a hearing on his appeal.
At the same time that Abreu was granted bail, another man, Joshua P. Fernandes, was freed in the same courthouse, after serving about half of his sentence for cocaine trafficking and drug possession. Fernandes was convicted in March 2011.
"Annie Dookhan was the person who weighed it, and she was the quality control supervisor for the lab," said Kathleen Lucey, Fernandes's attorney, moments after his release.
"I was a prosecutor out in Hampden for a lot of years, and I just thank God she didn't touch any Hampden cases because I don't know how these DA's are handling this. . . . I feel for them," Lucey said.
"He has nothing pending, nothing else, he's a free man," Lucey said.
Judge Richard Chin was the trial judge in the case, and after only 10 minutes allowed the "stay of execution of sentence," after prosecutors agreed.
Fernandes's family hugged him and then placed a call to his grandmother. "She's so happy he's going to be home for the holidays," Lucey said.
Fernandes was arrested Nov. 20, 2009, during a raid at his home in Wareham. Fernandes said his Cranberry Highway home had been under surveillance by police.
After executing a search warrant, police said they found a cache of illegal drugs hidden in the house. He was charged with trafficking cocaine over 28 grams, possession of Percocet, and possession of Suboxone.
Law enforcement officials are scrambling to ensure that no one has been incarcerated on tainted evidence because of the alleged improprieties by Dookhan. The lab was closed after discovery of the scandal.
Defense attorneys across the state are examining whether Dookhan was involved in even more cases than previously believed, pointing to court testimony in which she states she conducted reviews of other chemists' drug testing. However, her name is not listed on any of that paperwork, leaving no paper trail for testing that she reviewed.
Attorney Patricia A. DeJuneas said she is handling an appeal of a conviction last year in Suffolk County. The allegations against Dookhan could become part of that appeal. In that case, Dookhan testified that she was involved with reviewing another chemist's findings, but Dookhan's name did not appear on paperwork certifying that the drugs had been tested.
"If she was doing that in other cases, there would be a whole slew of cases in which her name doesn't appear in the certificates," DeJuneas said. "Her impact is going to be a lot wider than just the cases in which her name appears."
DeJuneas said defense attorneys are finding more questionable work by Dookhan as they review their own cases, but are waiting to hear from district attorneys on how they will proceed.
Miriam Conrad, head of the federal public defender agency, said the tally of cases involved in the federal court system will be far more than the 15 that state officials have already identified.
Conrad said she and other lawyers have been working with probation officials to identify cases on their own. Federal public defenders will have to look beyond a state list of cases that involved Dookhan to identify defendants who were sentenced as career criminals or had sentencing enhancements in federal court based on previous state drug convictions. That will have to include researching older state cases.
"The bottom line is, we appreciate their efforts, and any information we can get is extremely welcome, but we are conducting our own search of our own files," she said.Andrea Estes can be reached at

Brandon's Story
Thirty-one-year-old Brandon started smoking in his mid-teens, and by 18, he was diagnosed with Buerger's disease, a disorder linked to tobacco use that causes blood vessels in the hands and feet to become blocked and can result in infection or gangrene.
Nine years later, after losing both his legs and several fingertips to this terrible disease, he quit smoking for good. Smoke-free for 4 years now, Brandon hasn't had any more amputations, but he still must manage the consequences of being a double amputee.

Degree earned: B.F.A. in dance, jazz concentration, 2005Employer: Parsons DanceHometown: Pittsburgh, Pa.Now living in: New York, N.Y.High School: Mt. Lebanon High SchoolHobbies/interests: Pilates, trapeze, water skiing, spending time outdoors and traveling.
I ended up selecting Point Park for dance after a conversation with a professor (from another college) who had recently set a piece on Point Park students. While I was accepted into his program as well, he reminded me that I shouldn't overlook Point Park simply because it was in my own backyard. At the time, I was hesitant to attend. I had completed Point Park's Pre-Professional Dance Program, all of my instructors growing up were Point Park alumni and I felt a desire to go away to school. Yet, deep down I also felt that Point Park was a good match for me. I was also lucky enough to live in the Pittsburgh area where I could attend Point Park dance concerts. I still remember a performance I saw my senior year in high school that blew my mind. I wanted to dance like the dancers I saw on stage.
Although not necessarily pleasant, a story that sticks in my head as (somehow) one of my favorite memories occurred during my last student choreography performance. I had a very bad case of the stomach flu, but I had to dance because the dance was a trio and because it was my last student choreography show. I could barely get up off the floor under the makeup counter in the dressing room. And I didn't, until literally moments before places for that piece. I went on stage and hoped for the best. I don't remember feeling sick while performing. Somehow the adrenaline and the love for what you're doing got me through it. And that, I think, was a glimpse of life for me. A glimpse of how things go and what you can push through and accomplish.
Point Park's dance program is thorough. It knows how to train dancers and prepare you for the professional world. That said, you want to make sure that Point Park is a good match for you. Does it prepare you for the type of work that you desire to do?
Take full advantage of every opportunity offered to you and get to know the people around you — other students, teachers, choreographers and random people you meet. Spend time connecting with them. It will open up your world. Maybe not right away, but somewhere down the road. I used to think that was somewhat cliché, but I've found it to be very true. The more channels you open up for yourself, the more possibilities you cultivate for the future.
Also, seek out opportunities for yourself. Everyone has a different path. Listen to that little voice in your head, that little idea. It probably won't go away. It might be what you were meant to do. Only you can make it a reality.

Man brings a hand grenade to the ER.
Yikes. I knew Detroit was a rough town, but...
"Demerol? Certainly sir. How much would you like? Just don't pull the pin."
We work in one site where there is no security presence (small hospital). It can be a little scary sometimes. Glad we don't have to deal with that sort of thing, though.

Security, please!

I am very concerned about security. I would like the readers to know about the lack of protection offered by the Transportation Security Administration. Changing gloves routinely 'not part of standard operating procedures' at Transportation Security Administration, government official saysReplyDelete
As the U.S. government steps up its efforts to stem the spread of potentially deadly viral and bacterial infections at national airports, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), is in the spotlight once again. TSA, the agency created in the wake of 9-11, is a key player in the government's pandemic protection program. But, Infection Protection has learned, TSA personnel infrequently change their gloves, and thereby risk contaminating millions of travelers crossing the security check points. Lauren M. Wolf, strategic communications officer at TSA, Washington, D.C., says "it's simply not part of the standard operating procedures (SOPs)." This differs from what doctors and nurses routinely do, which is change gloves dozens of times a day after coming into contact with potentially infected patients.

Recently the hospital I work at let all our regular gun carrying security guards go and hired a new "security" that doesn't carry guns. Most, not all, are out of shape and I could some of them on myself and win.ReplyDelete
Also, we recently built a new ER and the staff wanted bullet proof glass in registration. The cost was "to much." A few months ago a man got irate for having to wait 15 minutes to be seen and picked up a chair in the lobby and threw it through the window at the receptionist. The receptionist was covered with shards of glass but, fortunately, was not injured.
Naww.... security is really not necessary in the ER.

I found it curious that no one mentioned or talked about this point. I have stated for years how dog training differs from 1 philosophy to another. And lately with the ecollar, trainers have forgotten on how the dog's mind really works. And from good old-fashioned training (where the dog taught the "how" & and the "why" of it), many trainers have regressed to "animal tamers".
Old circus animal tamers would tie up wild animals and whip the daylights out of the animals (lions, tigers, etc) and MAKE them obey. Same thing we see today with modern "trainers" (a word we have to use lightly) where their philosophy is put the collar on and Choke or Zap the bejeezuz out of the poor dog.
We can't forget that our dogs can NOT pick us owners and trainers. So as the owner of your dog it's your responsibility to safeguard him/her from any adversity.

Walker due in court again
Joe Walker's Feb. 10 Santa Barbara court hearing was continued to March 9, but it will only be a scheduling hearing, not a hearing where substantial evidence is presented before the court.
"The Walker case was continued until March 9 for a preliminary hearing setting," said Senior Deputy District Attorney Paula Waldman. "There will not be a hearing on this date, simply a court appearance to schedule a later hearing."
Walker, a Mammoth resident, was arrested on Jan. 4 in Mammoth on suspicion of illegal communication with a minor to facilitate sex and was later charged by the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office with several counts of illegal communication with a minor to facilitate sex and a count of a "lewd act" with a minor.
The alleged victim lives in Santa Barbara.
Walker was arrested on the same day as another Mammoth man, Dr. Andrew Bourne, who was later charged with several counts of illegal communication to facilitate sex with the same minor. Bourne, Mammoth Hospital's vascular surgeon and a member of the Mammoth Unified School District at the time, committed suicide later in January, prior to any substantial evidence against him being heard in court. All charges against him were dropped after his death.
The two men were known to be close friends and were charged together for the alleged crimes noted above by the Santa Barbara District Attorney's office.
The Santa Barbara District Attorney, Joyce Dudley, said last week that she will "amend the complaint" against Walker "in the next few weeks."

Smoking: It Doesn't Make Living with HIV Any Easier
November 1999
Recent research has examined whether cigarette smoking speeds progression to AIDS.
Studies have shown that HIV-positive smokers are more likely to develop Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and develop PCP more quickly than non-smokers. These results should come as no surprise, since smoking impairs the lungs, making them more vulnerable to infection.
Studies have also found that cigarette smoking significantly increases the likelihood and rate of developing thrush (mouth sores), oral hairy leukoplakia (whitish sore on the side of the tongue and inside cheeks) and bacterial pneumonia in smokers with HIV. The bacteria that causes Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), a life-threatening infection affecting as many as 40 percent of people with HIV) not only was recovered from the tobacco, cigarette paper and filters of four major brands of cigarettes but even survives the smoking process.
We know that smoking is, in general, damaging to one's health. For people with HIV who are trying to reduce their risk of exposure to bacteria, this research provides another reason to kick the habit.
Keep in mind that secondhand smoke involuntarily inhaled by non-smokers from other people's cigarettes is classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a known human (Group A) carcinogen, responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths annually in U.S. non-smokers.
Better Off Smoke-FreeSome people with HIV are convinced that their viral load and CD4 counts would not be as good without taking the difficult steps to stop smoking. Anti-HIV drugs do just so much, so the rest is up to you.
If you are HIV-infected and smoke, you might want to set a goal of changing your lifestyle over the next year. It's important for people with HIV who want to stop smoking to be in a safe and supportive environment where they are empowered to give up cigarettes on their own terms. For those not ready to quit altogether, experts recommend cutting the amount and frequency of smoking.
At First if You Don't SucceedEx-smokers will usually tell you it takes three to four attempts before successfully quitting smoking.
More than 3 million Americans quit smoking permanently every year. And you can, too! Don't despair, even if you have tried and failed in the past. By choosing the right approach and keeping a positive attitude, you'll see that there is still hope to kick the habit.
Some people are successful quitting "cold turkey," while others slowly decrease the number of cigarettes per day until they quit. Some even need the assistance of medical professionals. Choose the method that best suits you and your lifestyle.
Nicotine addiction is 95-percent psychological and about 5-percent physiological. No one ever died of nicotine withdrawal. In fact, most people make it through the withdrawal symptoms but start smoking again due to boredom, stress or peer pressure.
Since nicotine is eliminated from the body in two weeks, the "pressures" you feel to start again aren't from the nicotine, they're from the psychological stressors in your life.
Help is AvailableMany resources for helping smokers quit are available.
Most resources can be categorized as either smoking cessation programs or methods used to treat withdrawal from nicotine. By offering ongoing counseling and coping strategies that help with the psychological stressors that are often the reasons for relapse, a formal smoking cessation class increases your chances of quitting tremendously.
Methods used to treat nicotine withdrawal, such as gums, patches, inhalers, nasal sprays and medications, alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal only. While acupuncture, hypnosis and biofeedback work for some, there is no formal evaluation validating their success rates.
Get InformedA wealth of information about smoking cessation is available for those contemplating taking that step.
The American Lung Association can be reached be calling (800) LUNG-USA (1-800-586-4872), or by visiting http://www.lungusa.org. Also, check with your local chapters of the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society for tips, programs and other helpful information.
The American Lung Association offers a smoking cessation program called 1999 Freedom from Smoking Clinics. The program is conducted by ALA-trained and certified instructors who have a background in health education, teaching, psychology, and medicine, or who have quit successfully themselves through the program and want to help others.
Visit http://www.lalung.org/what/freedom.html for a list of clinics in L.A. County. You can also check with your health care provider for smoking cessation programs they might offer.

How to see quantum images and survive (I hope)
March 1, 2012 by Amara D. Angelica
Physicists have designed several wild experiments to see if humans can see quantum images.
The latest, just described in the Physics arXiv Blog: Geraldo Barbosa at Northwestern University plans to use a laser beam shaped into an image, such as the letter A.
This laser beam hits a non-linear crystal, generating entangled pairs of photons that retain this image shape and are detected by human eyeballs.
(Hmm, I wonder if this could lead to a new display concept for quantum computers? What about a crystal for each pixel…?)
Anyway, the quantum images are created by sending entangled photons towards a pair of detectors. Use one of the detectors to receive just one half of the entangled photons and the result is a blur, smeared by the process of randomness.
But use two detectors to receive both sets of photons and the uncertainties disappear, because of the quantum correlation between the entangled pairs. Damn cool. (Ref.: Geraldo A. Barbosa, Can humans see beyond intensity images?)
Entangled humans: the oops factor
But Barbosa wasn't the first to conceive this. In 2008, Nicolas Gisin and colleagues at the University of Geneva calculated that a human eye ought to be able to detect entangled photons, and a year later, took it a step further, saying that the human eye could be used in a Bell type experiment to sense spooky-action-at-a-distance. Now that's an experiment.
Slight problem: these experiments would mean that the humans involved would become entangled themselves, if only for an instant. Shades of The Fly and the Philadelphia Experiment! (OK, that was a hoax, but still….)
The Stellerator: try this at home (if you dare)
Meanwhile, edge physicist Nick Herbert — chronicled in the book How the hippies saved physics — came up with a simpler (and safer) way to view entangled photons: just two people looking at a star, as he explained to me in 2006.
"Visible stars possess a 'radius of coherence' of several feet or larger so that when you and your partner look up at a star (and are close together), you are standing inside that star's coherence radius," he explained in his January 2010 Quantum Tantra blog. "But you are also standing inside lots of other star's coherence discs."
To solve that, he invented the Stellerator — simply a hollow tube that allows you and your partner's retinas to be excited by light from the target star and no others.
"The Stellerator was first tested by a gang of happy amateurs immersed in an Esalen hot tub on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean under the starlit sky," he said. "No huge increase was observed in our already high level of conviviality."
The Lunarator: physics violation?
But what about trying something closer? So Herbert conceived the Lunarator, which depends on the smaller coherence radius of moonlight. "The coherence discs from the Moon are small enough to fit inside the light-adapted pupil of the human eye.
In the Lunarator, moonlight is split by a half-silvered mirror so that half goes into his eye and the other half goes into hers. There is a sense in which you two are both competing for the same photons."
Herbert (perhaps wisely) hasn't built one of these things yet. He pointed out a conceptual problem: "even if the Lunarator only induces a common mood (no signaling), it is easy to show that the presence or absence of such a mood could be used for signaling, and that signaling could, in principle, be superluminal."
And you know all about that uproar with the CERN Opera experiment.
Hey, I have no problem with that. I'm going to build one and try it! I'll report back — if I survive the entanglement.

dccd wrote:No it doesn´t counter his point.
You simply cant disprove the fact that there could´ve been more members involved.
Atleast in the english version Gin never says a word about "only (and nobody elses) Rums headache".
We don´t even know if APTX killed Kohji.
Unknown cause of death + APTX list doesn´t mean necessarily that Kohji was killed by APTX.
The placement of Kohji´s name on the list might be hinting towards some other scenario.
Unlikely yes - but not a fact as you state it.
The dying message might still be coincidentally pointing out at Rum and mean sth. completely different.
Bourbon and stuff might be interpretating it wrong, same as Conan/Shu.
Gin used APTX too. In contradiction to Rum he´s a low(er) ranked member too.
Nevertheless there is not a single thing saying that only high ranked members are allowed to use APTX.
We only know by now that Rum was somehow involved in that case and screwed sth. up.
These are the only 2 facts that we know so far.
Everything else is up to anyones interpretation.
To me - as someone who read every single Agatha Christia book - it´s pretty much obvious that connections between things we assume are sure
might turn out to be sth. completely different towards the end.
One last thing: Do you see it as a fact that Rum combines the 3 descriptions?
k11chi wrote:Literally all of those are assumptions based on other statements and/or actions, not facts.
Nemomon wrote:For a couple of hours today I'm home, so I will once again take a part in this.
The APTX list can be fake. We know that at least Shinichi's alive while he should be dead. While not very unlikely, it could be that someone put Kouji's name on it even hough he was not killed by the APTX. Plus, we know that there were two drugs, and after the lab got burned, maybe the BO operatives put all of the names they namaged to retrieve on a single list. Which means that Kouji could be killed by something different. Finally, that list must be either really old (and Kouji was put on it immediately after dying), or quite recent, therefore some names on it might not be correct because of the number of years that passed since his death, and because of a number of different people that were working on it.
As DCCD said, we don't really know what the dying message really is. In fact it appears both Conan and Akai aren't 100% sure about it yet. It could mean ASACA = RUM, or something different. We don't even know whether it is a dying message, or just a message (for example in his last breath Kouji wanted to say a "farewell" to someone). Finally, we don't even know whether Kouji is responsible for making it, or it was placed therre after his death to mislead the investigators or someone else.
I don't really want to go into dispute who's better mystery writer, Christie or Holmes. Some people like apples, some pears; some people like girls, some fish. And if I can request, stop treating us as idiots, and Yourself as a person who ate the entire world and know everything. Thank You.
As I mentioned earlier we don't know what Rum was doing there or if he even was there. Rum could as well screw up the job because he was NOT there.
From we have seen so far, most of the BO members work alone or in the case of Gin with some lackeys. Gin might not be interested in Haneda's murder, because he was not involved in it, and unless the Boss orders something related to it, he has his own orders to follow. Like in Poland we say, it's not his circus, and not his monkeys.
It is indeed strange why the BO is still so nervous about the dying message after all this years. Maybe because the Boss is too careful and want to investigate every single lead that would point to the BO regardless of how many years have passed since it. Plus, since recently the Haneda's death appeared in the Interned, I think the Boss has a reason to be nervous. It doesn't really matter whether Rum killed them, or even if he was in there, because the dying message could point to the BO, and also because Rum probably could not prove that he was elsewhere. Not after so many years (well, unless he was in a prison or was not born yet). And also, because nobody cares now where a particular mafia member was. For them it is important only that he's mafia.
And one more thing, Haibara said that the name of the Organization is something different than the BO. But she didn't reveal it. It could be that the BO is nervous about this dying message, because they want to hide for how long they exist, and this dying message suggests that it is at least 17 years old. Maybe they don't know others to know that they're around for that long or even longer.

Haibara (Sherry) changed it. Maybe it's really not shown in the manga (honestly can't remember), but it was written by Gosho.

Report by Anders Christian Madsen on 16 September 2013.
Working with the idea of the modern free spirit, Saunders created a tribute to the 'eccentric, brave, cool' girls who've inspired him throughout his career. Slouchy, silky shorts and trousers and little bomber jackets with florals looked sporty with a seventies feeling, which had its hippie flower child elements to it but without the annoying bohemian connotations.

Efron blended chicken to help bulk up
Actor ZAC EFRON gained 25 pounds (11.3 kilograms) for his new role as a U.S. Marine in THE LUCKY ONE by guzzling a chicken puree.
The High School Musical hunk stars in the upcoming film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel, about a Marine who searches for the woman he believes is his good luck charm, and Efron felt he needed to beef up to make his portrayal a convincing one.
He tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "We met with a bunch of staff sergeants at Camp Pendleton (in Southern California). Most of them were my height, but they really had a lot of extra weight on them. So, for the role, I must have put on 25 pounds."
But the actor admits he had to find creative ways to help pack on the bulk because he was simply tired of chewing all of his food.
Efron says, "If I could lay out on a table what I ate in one day, your jaw would drop. It was thousands and thousands of calories. One day I put three chicken breasts into a blender and hit 'puree', because I just couldn't chew. Chewing was taking so long!"

It's not too late to shop local for Christmas.
A New York Times article is inspiring people to think about homelessness this holiday season.
I've changed my mind about my love for cold Decembers.
Haley Adams has lived in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Missouri, Indiana and France, but she now calls Louisiana home. After graduating from Indiana University in December 2010, Haley moved back to her home, Columbia, Mo., to work for Inside Columbia magazine and mooch off her parents. After a year and a half at the small city magazine, Haley moved to the South to be the web editor at Renaissance Publishing in August 2012.
In addition to managing MyNewOrleans.com and Renaissance Publishing's social media, Haley is the editor of New Orleans Bride, as well as an associate editor for Renaissance Publishing's other publications.
When Haley is not at the office, she is probably trying a new restaurant, looking for places to shop or exploring the South with her boyfriend, Chris, and their dog, Leila. You can reach Haley at (504) 830-7259 or email@example.com.

A Last Look at Frank Soltesz?
Recently I've heard from three of Frank Soltesz' grandchildren. One of them, Andy, writes about a truly unfortunate situation:
"My mother (Frank's daughter) had a tremendous collection of his work. Unfortunately, in the recent San Diego wildfires, all of this work has been lost. Since we were family, we did not purchase any of this work. We are looking for anyone who may have information regarding purchase price of his work, when the work was purchased, and a description of the work. Obviously, this is for insurance purposes. Do you have or know anyone who has this type of information?"
I wrote back to Andy suggesting that he contact The Illustration House and Graphic Collectibles, two of the biggest and most knowledgable dealers in original illustration art. If you have any other suggestions for the Soltesz family, I'm sure they would appreciate hearing from you. You can contact me via my email address in the profile section of this blog or leave a comment at the end of this post.
Soltesz' grandaughter, Tammy, left this comment:
"Some of my favorite work that he has done (in addition to his cutaways) is his series of Esso map covers and his Christmas card artwork. It is neat to know that his work is still appreciated and odd to think that people regard him as a man of mystery."
And another grandson, Scott, wrote:
"We still have several of his pieces though, and my sister and I are embarking on a project to digitally photograph what we have and catalog them for all to enjoy. He was unique in his style, and loved by many."
Today's pieces have been added to my Frank Soltesz Flickr set.

That's horrible to hear about the loss of the art in the wildfires. These are such gems; I wonder how long tthe artist took to do them? They were probably knocked out pretty fast, but the drawing and all the rest is killer.
This is so sad. The only saving grace is that many of his images will live on digitally.ReplyDelete
Wow... I always think about how devastating loosing my artwork would be due to a natural disaster. Guess it proves you can't take it with you....ReplyDelete
Soltesz is great. I love the Michigan map. His figures seem flawless, the wrap arounds, points of tension, are all great. Especially on the guy in the forground.
I'm new to this blog, but I love it already!
Thanks for your comments, guys - you echo my own feelings... what a tragedy. To think that some of those huge cut-aways might have still been around in original form - and are now burned up... very sad.ReplyDelete
This is the second case like this I've heard of this year: Dom Lupo, whom I showcased a couple of months ago, had the same thing happen to all his original art a few years ago - also in California, I believe.
Its such a shame.


text: Hello, In many of the ISPConfig functions, a "client_id" is needed for use. For example, in the "add_client" functionality, there is an option to enter "parent_id". How can one get this parent_id from the ISPConfig user interface? What function can one execute to get it? Is one supposed to query the client DB table directly to get it? TIA

F-35A Operational Utility Evaluation at Eglin AFB completed
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — A major step in the building the Air Force's F-35A Lightning II training program was accomplished when the 33rd Fighter Wing completed the training and flying portion of the service's operational utility evaluation on schedule Nov. 15.
Four pilots began training when the evaluation started Sept. 10, expecting it to last approximately 65 days. Six weeks of academic training and 24 sorties later, they are all fully-qualified F-35A pilots.
"We were able to conduct the flying portion in less than half the time than we planned for because things went so well with the flying, weather was good, maintainers were doing a great job getting jets out on the line and instructors were doing a good job of teaching these guys," said Col. Andrew Toth, 33rd Fighter Wing commander.
From no experience to fully qualified joint strike fighter pilot was the hallmark of the success according to wing leaders and instructor pilots.
Lt. Col. Eric Smith, 58th Fighter Squadron director of operations and first Air Force F-35 instructor pilot, recalled leading one of four OUE students, Maj. Joseph Scholtz, during an Instrument qualification course Nov. 9.
"Four weeks before the first pilot qualified, he was an A-10 pilot at Nellis Air Force Base (Nev.) and hadn't been involved much in the F-35 program other than what he read in the news about what was going on," said Smith. "The 33rd Fighter Wing testament to all of the hard work that has been going on here the last three and a half years of standing this place up, getting ready to train pilots, was when we took him out today and he pretty much flew a flawless F-35 mission. It's also a testament to Lockheed Martin partners involved in helping the Nomads, the men and women of 33rd, build a training system down here, develop it and go out and execute it."
During the flying portion, students demonstrated their ability to take off into restricted airspace, train flying in formation while airborne, conduct instrument approaches at a neighboring military base and clear the traffic pattern to land at Eglin. Their "check ride" was an hour-long flight culminating in full qualification to fly the F-35.
"Maintainers have done a fantastic job of generating sorties," Smith said.
The OUE provided the setting to test the 135 trained maintainers in generating up to six flights a day utilizing nine F-35As.
"Maintenance really stepped up to the plate," said Tech. Sgt. Matthew Burch. "They are learning the fifth generation way of maintenance quickly."
As they go along in their daily routine, maintainers find themselves rewriting joint technical data to pave the way for the future "play book" of maintaining F-35As alongside their contract logistics partners.
"Training conducted here at Eglin then enables the rest of the Air Force organizations to start standing up too, begin their training and test and evaluation piece - big steps in the F-35 program," said Toth.
Scholtz will give feedback, as others going through training do, before going back to his unit at Nellis, the 56th Test and Evaluation Squadron where the joint strike fighter will arrive next year.
The other qualified F-35A pilots trained during the OUE were Lt. Col. Brian O'Neill of Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and Majors Cougar Wilson and Scout Johnston from the 33rd FW.
"A great part of all of this is the fantastic job of all the services. The OUE was a great couple of weeks flying, and we couldn't ask for any more," said Toth. "We are ready for the Joint Operational Test Team to write their report, provide us a quick-look out brief then formally brief our command on what they thought of the training system here. Once we receive the Air Education and Training Command's approval stating we are 'Ready For Training,' we can begin our first class."
Smith and his team of instructors are ready to train six pilots early next year as soon as they get that notice.
"We'll receive the training system for the block 1B operational flight program, the suite of software in the jets," he said. "It'll be our first class in this configuration. We are calling it a small group tryout, a contractual thing to make sure courseware developed is up to standards. It will take two months."
After its first year of training, the wing expects to see "normalcy" in its program.
"Concurrency of testing and training in the Air Force F-35 program means basic training of operational test pilots will happen first at Eglin in the near term," said Toth. "The pilots will then follow-on to Nellis or Edwards to conduct testing on new F-35 systems and capabilities before the wing adapts them in the training environment, resulting in the growth of the program becoming much more normalized. Meanwhile, the game plan for other military services and international partners will continue. Eventually there will be 2,100 maintenance students and 100 U.S. military F-35 pilots a year."
