A 12-year-old girl was arrested after police said she was bullying another student that attended a private middle school in Stamford.
A 13-year-old girl told her parents that she was being bullied, taunted and harassed by the 12-year-old girl.
According to school administrators, the two eighth-grade girls attended Trailblazers Academy and had been friends since sixth grade.
However, at beginning of this year, school officials said there was a disagreement between the two girls and staff went as far as to change their homerooms. They were also enrolled in girls circle groups and worked with the school staff daily.
"Despite working daily with the constant support of school staff, the girls could not repair their relationship and failed to communicate clearly about their differences," said Mike Duggan, executive director of Domus, in a statement Thursday night.
On Sept. 18, one of the girls, whose name was not released, along with her parents made a complaint to police.
Police said the bullying continued and got worse. Investigators said the best way to prevent further bullying was to step in. They arrested the 12-year-old girl, who was charged with disorderly conduct, on Tuesday.
"This behavior will not be tolerated," Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin said. "If it is brought to our attention, we will vigorously investigate the allegations and make arrests when appropriate. We investigate all claims of bullying, and this type of behavior will not be condoned in a learning environment."
Police said it became so bad that the victim even spoke of wanting to commit suicide. The administrators at the school were notified about the arrest.
"She did seem remorseful," said Stamford police Lt. Diedrich Hohn. "She was crying and didn't understand the magnitude until she got here."
Duggan said "no physical contact occurred between the girls."
After she was arrested, the 12-year-old girl was later released to her parents, police said.
The 12-year-old girl will have to go in front of a juvenile judge and prosecutor, police said. She will also most likely have to attend anti-bullying classes or receive some type of social services, police added.
Police said they do prevention in schools and could be called to talk to students at that school.
"Many youth in Domus programs are dealing with traumatic things that have happened to them, and they are working hard to grow and heal. Sometimes, they make mistakes and behave in ways that don't solve the problem or even make it worse. While we understand how and why these behaviors happen, we do not tolerate behaviors like this in our learning environment, and we intervene whenever we see or notice something, or when a concern is brought to us by a student or adult," Duggan said.
On Thursday night, they urged parents to talk to their kids about bullying and that if it happens, to tell an adult.
Some residents in town said arresting a 12-year-old is not only drastic, but overdoing it.
"The school could have handled it," Stamford resident Courtney Williams said. "The girl could have got expelled or things like that. But to arrest her? That's overdoing it."
Students also reacted to the arrest Thursday.
"I don't think that's right," said Veena Weerakoon, who is a freshman at Stamford High School. "Even though she was bullying someone, she's only 12."
"I think she knew what she was doing was wrong, and her getting arrested is appropriate," said Juliana Ferraro, who is a sophomore at Stamford High School.
In neighboring Greenwich, 15-year-old Bart Palosz killed himself on the first day of school, and several people said it was because of relentless bullying by classmates.

Dress, Eddie Bauer (thrifted). Belt, H&M. Sandals, Aerosoles. Bag, Mossimo. Earrings, Pangaea. Bracelets, World Market, Claire's, and Fort.
Photos by Beefy Muchacho
From here it seems to have the same shape of "shirt tails", but either way, I'd call it a blessing. I hate when dresses are too short in the back! Cute shoes.
Seeing as how I have a bubble butt dresses always look a little shorter in the back. That longer hem in the back might look like a straight hem on me, lol. Love those bangles and the one with those chains sends me over the moon.
maybe the previous owner hemmed it to fit them and their derriere was a bit more ample? i know that when i've had dresses hemmed for me in the past the hemline looks perfect when they're on but when hanging they look significantly longer in the front from accommodating my chest.
regardless, it looks lovely on you. and it looks like it has the added bonus of actually being comfortable to wear at the same time.
Haha, i never thought to call a dress with an asymmetrical hemline a mullet dress, but it works.
And it's a darn cute dress too.
Also, your photos have been fabulous, and I've decided you need to make them bigger. Tiny photos just aren't good enough to show off their awesomeness.
Chic on the Cheap
Definitely a mullet dress. Haha time to get out the scissors and sewing machine :)
such a cute dress! love it's print.

So what am I likely to survive the longest on.. DK or Druid?
Posted 18 November 2012 - 06:59 PM
Boomkin is my Druids spec atm, DK is frost ofcourse, I just casual it up on both but since I have literally nothing to do I figured i'd gear one of them for some Arena/RBG. Seeing how this game is World of Burstcraft now which toon you reckon I'd get the most giggles out of playing?
I gather DK is just frontloaded raw damage with fairly weak survivability whereas Boomkin less damage with more survivability, no?

main target to train, as always
DKs are as well squishy, but at least vs caster you have good chance to live...vs warriors on other hand, well, i don't think anyone is safe from 1 shot macro xD

I haven't seen any moonkins either so I can't really say what they're like at all.
I'd suggest feral if you'd be willing to respec, they're the hidden god-spec atm.

Don't play a DK for your own sanity right now. In my opinion, they are the one of the worst dps classes right now. (rogues/monks are just as bad).
I think the things that made DK so much more fun in cata are simply gone from the game at this point. I remember that measuring frost vs unholy wasn't as straightforward as it is today. You would trade survivability for damage when swapping between the two specs. Now, Frost is basically arms warrior with magic defense instead of physical defense. It's a pretty boring spec, aside from the giggles you get when you obliterate a mage for 100k+ three times in a row.
Unholy is still good fun, but the pet just dies when pretty much any class so much as gazes in its direction.

M&T Bank Corp. executive Atwood "Woody" Collins III has succeeded Edwin F. Hale Sr. as chair of the Baltimore Convention and Tourism Board, city officials said Monday.
The appointment of Collins, an executive vice president of M&T, became effective Friday, Visit Baltimore announced. Collins has served on the convention and tourism board since 2008 as treasurer and head of the finance committee, advising on budget management and fiscal matters for both Visit Baltimore, the city's tourism and convention bureau, and the Baltimore Convention Center.
Collins replaces Hale, a Baltimore developer, owner of the Baltimore Blast and former CEO of First Mariner Bancorp. Hale had chaired the board since it was formed in 2006 and led a charge in obtaining a tax settlement from online travel booking agencies in 2011.
Collins "understands that our convention and tourism industry is an important economic engine for the city, creating thousands of jobs for residents," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.
The board provides oversight to both Visit Baltimore and the convention center, helping to create marketing and sales plans and goals for both.

Here is my sample using the retro girl on the swanky cruiser bicycle....I love her! My dad recently bought mom a cruiser when they were snowbirding this winter in Arizona. I haven't seen her bike yet, and was guessing she might have picked red...I found out that its actually light tan and coffee brown...This image reminds me of the pics I've seen in my baby album of mom wearing shorty-shorts and tube tops, hair pulled back like this...the only thing thats missing is me on the back in a baby seat!
I used some fun new retro-ish paper from Cosmo Cricket... The edges were all distressed using creamy brown chalk ink. Two yellow SU brads along with riding hood red punched circles add some interest to the left upper corner. I coloured her up with copics and added silver spica pen and glaze to the bicycle. The button/flower/twine embellie was made with the Flower Button Cutup (TCP) and cappuccino twinery twine, available here...
Here is a shot showing the glitter and glaze.....

Warlong building prepares to open
After sitting idle about six years, the Warlong Glove building on the former Broyhill Furniture site in Conover will once again open to the public.
"We are ahead of schedule," said Conover City Manager Donald Duncan Jr.
Conover purchased the 27-acre Broyhill Furniture property in downtown Conover in 2005, after the company closed the facility's doors in 2004. Duncan, who originally thought the Conover Station project will take 10 years to complete, is now planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the summer.
"Our vision for Conover Station is to redevelop a former abandoned factory site into a mixed-use, sustainable development," said Conover Mayor Lee Moritz Jr. "Our vision included a combination of retail, light manufacturing, technology services and downtown habitation. Our bonus is a much expanded library space, a community gathering facility and a future rail designation when service is restored."
Warlong Building
Conover Station will consist of the Warlong building, which residents and passers-by on N.C. 16 can see from the road. This three-story building will house the Conover Library, a community room, Greenway Transit Authority administrative offices, a cafe and an outdoor patio with tables for visitors. In addition, Duncan said the N.C. Department of Transportation purchased a portion of the second floor, where Conover hopes to start a train depot. Until a depot opens, Duncan said the space can be used by the public for meetings.
The cost for the first phase of the Warlong building is estimated at $2.1 million, and the project's second phase is about $1.1 million. The second phase includes a rail platform, pedestrian bridge and ramp. The future phase will also have a "kiss and run" section for rail passengers to be dropped off and cross on a pedestrian bridge to take them into the second-floor of the Warlong building.
Construction has been extensive on the building, Duncan said the building never had a heating and air conditioning unit installed and the windows and walls were painted. All the windows were replaced in the building, and brick work that was once painted over now displays a natural look.
"The building will be cool and trendy looking," Duncan said. "The building will have a heavy, industrial look. It fits the character of Conover. The building itself tells the history of what happened here."
Conover City Council decided to make the Warlong building LEED certified or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Duncan said plans are to have a silver rating on the building, but that will be determined by the amount of credits earned from making the building "green."
"(LEED certification) is hard to get on an old building," Duncan said.
One way construction crews are working to make the building LEED certified is creating an inverted roof to collect rain water. Duncan said the rain water will then be used to flush toilets in the building, as well as irrigate outdoor plants.
The first-floor, which consists of a community room and mechanical area, will have exposed metal beams and "shop-front windows," Duncan said. The building will have an elevator, as well as stairs for visitors.
The second-floor will serve as the main entrance, where the Greenway T.A. offices will be located. However, the building will have a total of three public entrances and three exit-only doors.
The third-floor will house the library, the NCDOT area and the outdoor patio will allow visitors to sit and see Conover's downtown area from any angle, while enjoying a cup of coffee from the cafe and a book from the library, Duncan said.
Conover City Council has a couple of interested merchants who want to establish the coffee shop or cafe inside Conover Station. Duncan said no decision has been made on who will open the business. City Council is expected to discuss tenants during a retreat Monday at 5 p.m. in the training room at the Conover Police Department.
Conover Station is expected to have 180 angled parking spaces, which will be on-street parking, Duncan said.
"An opportunity exists where there has never been before," said Conover City Councilman Don Beal."(Conover Station) is the new downtown."
Outdoor life
Conover Station's stormwater system will treat water that's never been cleaned before, according to Terry Lail, Conover environmental coordinator.
Recently, Lail met with Jewel Engineering Co., water quality division of N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and a representative with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to discuss plans to create a management practice plan for the stormwater system at Conover Station.
Conover previously received a $415,000 grant to install a stormwater system at Conover Station to clean water runoff. Lail said any time anyone is working close to a U.S. water stream, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must be involved to provide guidance about working with water from the stream.
Lail said the stormwater system will go alongside the city's plan to create a park at Conover Station.
"Citizens are going to be pleasantly surprised," Beal said. "They are the winners. We are going to have a nice park."
The park will have walking trails with educational kiosks explaining the stormwater treatment system at the site.
"The (Best Management Practice, or BMP, plan) will treat stormwater runoff from Conover Station and downtown," Lail said. "We are treating water that's never been treated before."
Lail said the water will go into McLin Creek, then Lyle Creek and into the Catawba River.
"It may not benefit anyone upstream, but downstream will benefit because it's drinking water (for the public out of the Catawba River)," Lail said.
Manufacturing Solutions Center
Manufacturing Solutions Center, currently located at Catawba Valley Community College's East Campus, takes backyard ideas and creates a product to be sold across the world. It will soon find its home at Conover Station.
"MSC will create the next generation of manufacturing (in Conover)," Duncan said.
MSC will be a 16-foot high, single-story building located beside the Warlong building. It will be 30,000-square-feet, which is 10,000-square-feet larger than its current location. It's expected to be completed in 2012 at Conover Station.
"It has been published that two-thirds of the net jobs created in the private sector originate among small firms or small business births," Moritz said. "The smallest segment, which is one to 19 associates, produces the most new jobs relative to its share of total employment."
Duncan said MSC creates more than 150 jobs a year in existing industries. MSC is a nonprofit organization that functions through the N.C. Community College System and has 18 full-time employees and 19 part-time workers.
"The Manufacturing Solutions Center will become a business accelerator for new product innovation both in and outside textiles," Moritz said. "When companies launch their businesses from this facility, our hope is they will plug into our local communities, use our available industrial properties and employ our skilled and able workforce."
The organization started 20 years ago in the hosiery business, but has expanded. MSC now works with medical devices, motorcycles, textiles, upholstery, plastics, furniture, biotech and green manufacturing, to name a few. Moritz said MSC can provide "new and existing companies with low-cost testing, research and development."
"Manufacturing Solutions Center has a real partnership with Conover Station," said Dan St. Louis, MSC director. "Nobody does what we do in the community college system."
To stay up-to-date on Conover Station's progress, check out weekly pictures at www.conoverstation.com. Duncan expects a ribbon-cutting ceremony to be held no later than August, which is when the building will start to be occupied by Greenway employees.

The odds are still not completely in favor of Rockford getting a gaming license. Monday night, the majority of the Rockford city council has given their support for a riverboat permanently docking in Rockford.
Money, jobs and future developments have brought those in favor of a casino to lobby in front of Rockford's city council. Those in favor of the casino say that a boat can guarantee revenue.
It's quite the opposite for another group who is working to keep Rockford casino free. Enough is Enough Task Force of Rockford Urban Ministries to pray against a casino. The group says that a casino is not the type of revenue that they want Rockford to bring in.
A resolution came before the Rockford city council to support riverboat gaming. 11 of the 14 alderman signed off that they support and encourage legislation that would create a riverboat gambling license. But you won't find alderman Bill Timm's signature until there's more information about the legistics of a riverboat casino. Alderman Timm says, "When you make a vote on the council floor it effects the entire city. We need to find out more information before we say yes or no."
Alderman Dan Conness read the resolution in. Conness says, "We're telling the general assembly a casino does have support."
Rockford Mayor Doug Scott made a trip to Springfield last week to testify to legislatures the importance of a gaming license in Rockford. Mayor Scott says the support of the City Council is exactly what legislators are looking for and asked him about last week
Right now Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is tied up in budget issues. His budget proposal counted on the state getting at least $350 million dollars from the sale of an unused casino license. But the license remains tied up in a legal battle. That could give Rockford an advantage, as a casino will give thousands of dollars to the state. A final decision could come before the end of the month.

The walkability index is a guide that rates cities and neighborhoods based on proximity to nearby amenities such as grocery stores, restaurants, schools, parks, and public transit.
Here is Hayward's data and a pretty cool map in which green is good and red is bad in terms of legging it around town. Notice that while the overall number isn't very impressive, some areas of town are indeed very walkable according to their methodology. In particular, North Hayward is up there at 77, which isn't bad considering the 85 rank enjoyed by the country's two most walkable cities of New York and San Francisco. San Lorenzo also got a 58 overall score, while San Leandro was somewhat higher at 65. Castro Valley faired poor for walkers, with a score of 45.
Fun feature: Enter an address and find a walk score particular for where you are. I'll have you know that the Daily Review's address is a "Walker's Paradise" with a score of 98. The Castro Valley neighborhood where I grew up rated a dismal, "Car-Dependent" score of 28, but I could have told you that it wasn't much fun getting around pre-car without the rating.
Here's the press release from Walk Score.
According to the website, "The 372 largest cities in California have an average Walk Score of 50. The most walkable cities in California are West Hollywood, Albany and San Francisco. The least walkable cities are Mead Valley, Prunedale and Adelanto."

Inadvertent 50% Rye & Swedish Rye Variation
I have been on a higher % rye kick for a while now and decided to bake up a few to stock me up for December. When I say higher %, I know these aren't quite high, but for me, I haven't really tried anything higher then 40% prior to this. Maybe a Danish Rye qualifies as higher than 40%...
I baked up a Swedish Seed Rye using my Swedish Rye formula and simply adjusted it by using dark rye instead of medium rye. Also added some sprouted organic spelt flour in lieu of my typical spelt flour. Even though it will still be a day or two until the flavour develops properly, I can already taste the dark rye coming through loud and clear.
Starting out as a 40% Rye, the other 2 loaves I baked up turned into a 50% Rye inadvertently. I realized during the mixing process that I added too much water. I had to off set this hydration with more flour. I ended up using an extra 95 grams of dark rye flour. The loaves came out decent but with little oven spring. I noticed that the bread tastes quite sour so I have a feeling I over fermented both the sour and the bulk. The extra bran in the dark rye was probably the culprit in the over fermenting. Still came out decent enough for a slice of cheddar or knob of liver pate.

AUBURN, Alabama – Offensive lineman Wilson Bell left Auburn on Sunday still committed to Central Florida, but that changed this morning when he decommitted to work with another set of schools.
Even before decommitting Bell said he considered Auburn and Florida State his top two choices. He also plans to visit Ole Miss this weekend. The 6-foot-4, 302-pound lineman from Blount High in Prichard has become a hot ticket in the last few weeks.
Auburn still has work to do, needing to fill six or seven spots, before Signing Day on Feb. 6. Officially, Auburn has 19 commitments this recruiting season, but three of those junior college players are already signed, and at least two of those will likely count back to the 2012 signing class.

An identified male driver died inside his vehicle Sunday after it caught fire while he was attempting to drive on the rim of one wheel after a tire shredded.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office received a 9-1-1 call in reference to the vehicle fire in St. James City shortly after 3 p.m.
When deputies arrived, firefighters with the Pine Island Fire Department were working to extinguish the fully engulfed vehicle.
Once the fire was out, a body was located in the driver's seat, officials said, adding there were no other occupants inside the vehicle.
"An investigation by Lee County sheriff's detectives shows that, for unknown reasons, the victim was driving on one of his steel rims for several miles after his tire shredded," a release issued late Sunday by the Sheriff's Office states. "As he drove along Warren Boulevard approaching the intersection of Emerald Avenue, the vehicle burst into flames and the driver was unable to escape."
The body has been taken to the Medical Examiner's Office for positive identification of the driver and official cause of death, officials said.

text: Plantinseeds was selling a hifonics brz 1700 for 165 shipped, i paid him on July the 11th for the amp and now almost a month later i havent recieved an amp or a refund. Two days after receiving payment he tells me hes decided not to sell the amp just yet because hes getting new subs the next day so i say ok fine just send me a refund. It takes him a day to get back to me, and another day to send me the refund. The refund "didnt go through." So i wait a few days just to be sure its not going to go through and tell him about it. He then says he'll issue another refund. And of course that one didnt go through as well. So then he tells me hes ready to sell the amp and he'll just send it via usps. He supposedly sent it on July the 30th, and here i am 2 weeks later with no amp and no refund. He hasnt answered any of my texts or pms in a good 4 days. Pretty much sure im not getting anything but i just wanted to let people know to look out for him. If hes buying something from you get payment before shipping and dont buy anything at all from him.

Governor Parnell Signs Legislation Outlawing Synthetic Cocaine sold as 'bath salts'
June 6, 2012, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sean Parnell today signed legislation classifying certain synthetic cathinones, commonly known as synthetic cocaine and marketed as bath salts, as a Schedule IIA controlled substance. The use of synthetic cocaine can impair perception, reduce motor control, and cause extreme paranoia and violent episodes.
"Many thanks to Senator Kevin Meyer and Representative Bill Stoltze for sponsoring this legislation that will strengthen the laws relating to this dangerous substance," Governor Parnell said. "This legislation recognizes the significant threat these substances pose to the health and safety of Alaskans and their communities."
Senate Bill 140 classifies bath salts as a Schedule IIA controlled substance. It will be illegal to possess, manufacture, sell, or distribute the substance. The penalties will be the same as other Schedule IIA substances, such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and LSD.

I'm using a Belkin 802.11g wireless pcmcia card with Mandriva LE2005. I got it working with ndiswrapper. Heres the problem: I can't connect if I'm too far away form the router. Logically this is a hardware problem, but I'm the only one in my house who has this problem. All XP laptops in my house all work fine in my room. They have no problem connecting.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Is this a Belkin problem? Could this be a driver problem?

A particle moves in a circular orbit described by the equation x^2 +y^2=25. As it passes through (4.3), its y coordinate is decreasing at a rate of 3 units/sec. What is the rate of change of the x coordinate the instant the particle is passing through the point (4,3)?
I figured I would dreivate the position equation, x^2 + y^2=25, to arrive at the velocity equation, 2x dx +2y dy, and set that equal to -3, the velocity in the y direction at that point. Of course it doesn't come out right, though, as I am not sure how to account for the velocity in the x direction at that point. How do you separate velocity into x and y components?
Thank you for your help!

Research experience
User:Hartigan/MHC class II molecules
In 1967, a puzzling observation was made by Calne and his laboratory team, during liver transplantation experiments on pigs. One animal survived for months, after receiving an allograft, without any immunosupression. Later, it was found that the soluble factors, which were secreted by the liver allograft and were responsible for the development of tolerance to the recipient animal, were soluble MHC (sMHC) molecules.From this point, many laboratories around the world entered the quest, for the elucidation of the immunoregulatory effects of the various soluble forms of MHC molecules. Today, it is widely accepted that body fluids, isolated from healthy individuals contain various amounts of soluble MHC molecules. The origin of these molecules has not been clearly determined and it could be the result of shedding, alternative splicing or active secretion, whereas it has been demonstrated that trophoblast cells secrete to the medium soluble HLA-DR molecules when stimulated by IFNγ. In the 70s and 80s during the study of T suppressors (some of which might correspond to the modern T regulatory cells), it was suggested that they affected nearby cells secreting various factors with MHC determinants.
Deviations from the concentration of these molecules in the body fluids of healthy individuals, have been recorder in numerous pathological conditions, such as viral encephalitis, rheumatoid arthritis, pathologic pregnancies, asthma and AIDS. These results imply that soluble MHC molecules have a special role, in the pathology of these diseases but it is not clarified whether they contribute to the pathology or if they are by-products of the pathological condition (they could have a potential role in the diagnosis of the disease stage). Additional research has confirmed that soluble forms of MHC molecules can have various immunomodulating effects, such as induction of apoptosis of CD4+ activation of CD8+ T cells and down-regulation of NK activity. The aim of this study was to perform a downstream investigation of the possible immunomodulating action of soluble MHC molecules isolated from the serum of male and pregnant Balb/c mice. We selected the 12th day of gestation for the isolation of the serum, according to Ranella A. (The role and the regulatory mechanisms of growth factors, membrane and secreted MHC class II molecules in the survival of the hemiallogeneic embryo during gestation, Ph.D. thesis, University of Crete, unpublished data), because the titer of the serum reaches a maximum. During the study we used affinity chromatography and immunoprecipitation for the isolation of sMHC II from the serum and cell culture techniques, in order to reveal any effect on freshly isolated spleen cells. Pregnancy is often called immune paradox, because the immune system of the mother allows to the fetus to survive although it is an allotransplant. Generally, pregnancy is largely considered to be a TH2 phenomenon that is characterized by downregulation of the immune system in the point where the mothers body meets the fetus. Soluble MHC class II molecules secreted by trophoblast cells could contribute to the development of tolerance, because the ability of antigen presentation from the trophoblast is lost along with the secreted MHC II. However, it has not been determined whether the molecules we isolate from the serum originate from the trophoblast. The presence of the same molecules in the serum of male mice suggests an alternative source. Our results revealed the following information:
- SDS-PAGE assays revealed a prominent band at about 67kDa.

- Upon the addition of these molecules, spleen cells from syngeneic mice respond positively and upregulate their activation status.

- In Mixed Lymphocyte Reactions, which depend on the successful activation of CD4+ T helpers, the incorporation of radioactivity was boosted when sMHC II (from pregnant) were added to Balb/c spleen cells, which responded to inactivated with mitomycin C C3H/HeN spleen cells, CD4 receptor seems to be important for the effect we recorded, since the incorporation of radioactivity diminishes when we interfere with it.

- An important decrease in the level of IgM has also been recorded when sMHC from pregnant and male mice were added to the medium. This could result from interference of cell-cell interactions or by favoring the expression of Type-1 cytokine profile.

- Type-1 cytokines were increased in the samples that were treated with sMHC II from male mice.

- Type-2 cytokines were increased in the samples that were treated with sMHC II from pregnant mice.

- Our soluble molecules have the potential to cause robust activation of spleen cells, which is comparable with the activation caused by up to 100000cfu of Legionella pneumophila ser.1

- When spleen cells were challenged with L.pneumophila fragments the addition of sMHC II from male mice produced a Type-1 cytokine profile, whereas the addition of sMHC II from female mice a Type-2 profile (data notpresented). However, both molecules seemed to upregulate the production of IL-15.

- Soluble molecules isolated from female pregnant Balb/c mice might have the potential to downregulate the proliferation of syngeneic placenta cells (preliminary data, not presented).

UH Board of Regents Approves Elimination of UH Hilo Lower Division Tuition Rate
Other items approved include an international exchange program scholarship and the designation of nursing at community colleges as a high demand fieldUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kristen Cabral, (808) 956-5039
Public Information Officer
The University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents (BOR) at its monthly meeting held today at Windward Community College approved the elimination of the lower division tuition rate at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, the establishment of an international exchange program scholarship, and designated nursing at the community colleges as a high demand field.
UH Hilo has had two different tuitions rates for its lower and upper undergraduate divisions, which began when UH Hilo and Hawaiʻi Community College were merged to allow students enrolled in Hawaiʻi CC to enjoy the same tuition when they took courses from either campus. The differential tuition rate was retained at UH Hilo even after the campuses' separation in 1992, though it has increasingly become a problem for students, including the confusion the differing rates cause for prospective students and the financial aid and registration problems it contributes to for transferring students and unclassified students.
Public meetings were held to discuss elimination of the lower division tuition rate on Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui and the Big Island, and there was minimal opposition. The elimination of the lower division tuition rate will also simplify UH Hilo's transition to the new systemwide student information system, BANNER, as UH Hilo was the only campus within the 10-campus UH system with two-tiered tuition rates.
The BOR also approved the establishment for one year of an International Exchange Program Scholarship for UH Mānoa that permits incoming exchange students who are not receiving a full tuition waiver to pay 150 percent of resident tuition. The establishment of the scholarship will serve as an attractive mechanism to increase the number of international exchange students attending UH Mānoa, and at the same time provide additional income to the university while raising its international profile. Current student exchange agreements limit the number of students participating, and partner universities believe the number of students eager to spend one or two semesters studying at UH Mānoa is increasing.
The BOR also designated nursing programs throughout the community colleges as a high demand discipline that, in accordance with BOR policy on high demand disciplines, will allow the community colleges to make salaries for nursing faculty more competitive with salaries offered by hospitals and clinics. The gap between salaries offered nurses in hospitals/clinics and nursing faculty continues to grow, contributing to the severe problems the community college nursing programs face when trying to recruit and retain qualified nursing faculty.
In other action, the BOR authorized the UH administration to enter into an easement agreement with Public Storage, Inc., involving real property at the UH Urban Garden Center in Pearl City, to maintain an unobstructed no-build area as part of the development by Public Storage of a commercial storage facility on its adjoining property. Public Storage, Inc., has agreed to pay the university $20,000 in exchange for the no-build easement, and the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources has confirmed that the granting of the no-build easement will not impact Urban Garden Center programs. Funds derived from the agreement will go towards irrigation infrastructure improvements and building repairs at the Urban Garden Center.
The BOR also approved amendments to BOR personnel policies that will permit the Cancer Research Center of Hawaiʻi (CRCH) to utilize appropriate medical faculty and medical researcher classifications, designations, and minimum qualification requirements. The amendments will permit physician faculty hired by CRCH, and who perform duties and responsibilities similar to those of clinical faculty physicians in the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), to be classified in the same appropriate faculty categories as those clinical faculty hired by JABSOM. Ultimately, these changes will allow CRCH to more easily participate in clinical research trials, which will help to attract well-qualified researchers and physicians to positions within CRCH. Hawaiʻi's unique population of various cultures, primarily Asians and Pacific Islanders, presents an excellent opportunity for cancer researchers to conduct clinical trials on cancers prevalent in these populations.

From time to time, readers claim that some photos on our site are digitally altered, or " 'shopped," in the common vernacular. What they may not know is that all photos featured in this blog undergo a rigorous screening process designed to weed out such deceit, and assure the viewer of genuine cuteness.
For a glimpse into this process, let us consider the image below. The casual viewer may be quick to declare this a forgery, pointing to the curious lack of shadows beneath the squirrel's paws. However, this can be easily explained by the clouds in the background diffusing the sunlight. Verdict: Not 'shopped.
In this comical scene, the meerkat on the left appears to have been stretched to a height taller than the others, and it's tempting to believe that it has been cloned from the similar meerkat on the right. However, a closer inspection of their faces and hand positions reveals that they are unique. Verdict: Not 'shopped.
Finally, let us turn our attention to this scene of urban chaos. Sharp-eyed viewers will note that an overturned vehicle in front of the cat has been duplicated in reverse just to its right. In addition, the cat's front paws are too far apart to hold the taxicab, which has obviously been substituted for a much larger vehicle, such as an ambulance or FedEx truck. Verdict: This looks 'shopped.

From "Steve Jobs: The Secular Prophet," by Andy Crouch in the Wall Street Journal.
[T]he genius of Steve Jobs was to persuade us, at least for a little while, that cold comfort [death is "life's change agent"] is enough. The world—at least the part of the world in our laptop bags and our pockets, the devices that display our unique lives to others and reflect them to ourselves—will get better. This is the sense in which the tired old cliché of "the Apple faithful" and the "cult of the Mac" is true. It is a religion of hope in a hopeless world, hope that your ordinary and mortal life can be elegant and meaningful, even if it will soon be dated, dusty and discarded like a 2001 iPod.Speaking of "hope"... wait... that's a topic shift I'll make into a separate post.

Butler County employees were "taking a stand against heart disease" by participating in Go Red for Women Day Friday.
Butler County employees were "taking a stand against heart disease" by participating in Go Red for Women Day Friday.
"It's really just about raising awareness that women suffer from heart attacks as much as men," said Janice Powers, county health director.
She said heart attacks in women are often overlooked because the symptoms are different than for men.
She wanted to encourage women to be aware of the symptoms, which include uncomfortable pressure or pain in the center of the chest; pain or discomfort in one or both arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach; shortness of breath; breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness; or chest pain or discomfort.
"Women should be aware of the symptoms and know how to prevent a heart attack," Powers said.
Some things women can do to help prevent a heart attack include being physically active and not smoking.
"We decided this year to show our support of heart health because we really do support health for our employees," Powers said.
Employees wore red shirts to work on Friday to show support for women who are facing a diagnosis and struggling through treatment, for women who touched many lives before they lost their own, to speak up for more research and swifter action for women's health, because it's time to put health first and because no one should fight alone.
They gathered in the County Commission room to take a group picture, which they sent to the American Heart Association. Jim Schmidt and his staff at Emergency Management and those in the western office also took pictures which will be sent to the AHA.

So I have a honyaki yanagi made from tamahagane, that due to unforseen circumstances is 210 mm long. most of the yanagis that I sell are 270 or longer. Is 210 too short?
So I have a honyaki yanagi made from tamahagane, that due to unforseen circumstances is 210 mm long. most of the yanagis that I sell are 270 or longer. Is 210 too short?
Way too short. I would be happy to get it out of your sight, so you don't have to worry about it.

whats the knuckle clearance like? maybe this is a line knife? pics?
Approach life and cooking with reckless abandon
It's a bit short, but not unheard of - some makers offer yanagis as short as 180mm.
However, almost all high-end yanagis, are 300-300 mm long.
PS: You guys (SpikeC and Kalaeb) have no shame.
Bill - thanks for the advice on Black Ice. The results are great
If my KKF Inbox is full (or not), please contact me via Email: email@example.com
thanks for the quick responces guys. As for knuckle clearance, I haven't put a handle on it as yet because of the length but if i get a pinch grip with my index finger and thumb and my middle finget under the ricasso area my knuckle just touches the board. But the way I was shown to cut with a yanagi the handle is never over the board, is that right?
Nope, not too short. Just good for different tasks. Sometimes shorty yanagis like that are used for beef and whatnot.
I have a 180 or 210 yanagi that I use for slicing duck breast, cleaning silverskin and other small tasks. Still useable.
And yes, most yanagi tasks are not done with your hand over the board. The utility nature of the smaller ones changes this slightly, but I don't have a problem w mine and it doesn't have a lot of clearance. I use a fingertip grip.
"God sends meat and the devil sends cooks." - Thomas Deloney
Scott has some video on doing butchering with a small yanagi. And as some mention here, can make a good line knife in a pro kitchen. Lot of lines 180-210 is all you need for slicing protein, herbs, produce and etc because of space. There are so many tasks that a smaller knife excels more naturally at than a larger knife and visa verse. A TRUE knife nut will find a use for any knife! >>>>>>>> specially a Burke, DUH
I really like that size of knife for a lot of misc purposes.

HONOLULU — Joanne Cooper, a professor in the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa College of Education, has been presented the 2011 Distinguished Graduate Mentoring Award by Chancellor Virginia S. Hinshaw. Established by the UH Mānoa Graduate Division in 2005, the award allows graduate students to nominate faculty for excellent mentoring, one of the foundations of outstanding graduate education.
Cooper has been a member of the graduate faculty at UH Mānoa since 1992. As a professor in the Department of Educational Administration, she has mentored more than 70 graduate students to the successful completion of their advanced degrees. Her former graduate students include two high-level administrators at Mānoa and faculty at all levels of education employed throughout Hawai'i and the mainland.
Her students describe her as an inspirational guiding light and a friend who rigorously maintains standards while providing encouragement and support. Cooper is an excellent role model and demonstrates daily her dedication to research, while also pushing her students to think critically, question their own worldviews and seek out new perspectives and understanding.
She earned her PhD in educational policy and management from the University of Oregon.
Cooper will be recognized for her achievements along with other UH award recipients at the annual Convocation ceremony to be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 27, 2011, at Kennedy Theatre on the Mānoa campus. The ceremony is open to the public at no charge; no reservations are needed.
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa serves approximately 20,000 students pursuing more than 225 different degrees. Coming from every Hawaiian island, every state in the nation, and more than 100 countries, UH Mānoa students thrive in an enriching environment for the global exchange of ideas.

Doris S. Leese, a music teacher and vocal coach who served as executive director of the Choral Society of the Hamptons for 20 years and who was an active member of the East Hampton Presbyterian Church among other organizations, died at Southampton Hospital last Thursday. She was 88 and had been in declining health for some time.
Ms. Leese, who lived in East Hampton on Toilsome Lane, came here with her husband, William T. Leese, and their family in 1968 when he took a job with the First National Bank of the Hamptons. Mr. Leese, who died in 2007, had been in World War II and they met at a church youth group in New Jersey that welcomed returning veterans. They were married in 1949.
The couple had a wide circle of friends here, becoming well known through community activities. Ms. Leese was a past president of the local chapter of the American Association of University Women, was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Ladies Village Improvement Society, and the Ramblers, a women's educational group. She was on the session of the Presbyterian Church for six years and served on its pastoral nominating and building committees.
As executive director of the Choral Society, she oversaw its growth from a small, informal organization to one with some 100 members and established, professional procedures. She sang alto in the chorus, and in 1987 and again in 1990, arranged for its members to go on a European singing tour. She retired as executive director 12 years ago.
One of Ms. Leese's special Choral Society interests was a scholarship program for high school students to receive professional training. The society dedicated its holiday performance of Handel's "Messiah" to her last year and added a scholarship in her and her husband's name.
In addition to the Choral Society, Ms. Leese was a member of the Presbyterian Church choir for 44 years and a frequent soloist there and at other churches. She also sang with the Sweet Adelines, a women's barbershop group.
Her daughter Wendy Mott of East Hampton said her mother also taught music for the Board of Cooperative Educational Services throughout the East End and was a substitute teacher at East Hampton schools. She was the Sagaponack School's music teacher in the late 1970s and early '80s.
Doris Skirrow was born in Newark, N.J., on March 4, 1924, the daughter of Sinclair T. Skirrow and the former Ethel Kelsey. She attended Clifford J. Scott High School in East Orange, N.J., and earned a degree in vocal performance and music education at Queens College in Charlotte, N.C. She also studied at the Juilliard School in New York City.
In addition to Ms. Mott, Ms. Leese is survived by another daughter, Karen Lutz of Merrick, and by two sons, W. Gordon Leese of Duxbury, Mass., and Steven Leese of Newton, Mass. She leaves six grandchidren and one great-granddaughter.

New study by Prof. Paoletti details abuses suffered abroad by Nepal's migrant workers
The findings from a new study of migrant workers from Nepal who traveled to the Middle East for temporary employment serve as a stark example of how low-wage migrant workers are routinely illegally exploited by private recruiters and employers, often leaving individuals unable to access justice either in their home country or abroad.
The two-year study, "Migrant Workers' Access to Justice at Home: Nepal," was published by the Open Society Foundations and co-authored by Sarah Paoletti, Director of the Transitional Legal Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, with colleagues Eleanor Taylor-Nicholson of University of New South Wales, Bandita Sijapati of the Centre for the Study of Labour and Mobility, and Bassina Farbenblum of the University of New South Wales.
According to the study, each month approximately 16,000 Nepalis travel to the Gulf States for temporary work, with thousands more traveling to other Middle East countries for employment, the majority of whom suffer high levels of abuse and exploitation, including misrepresentation of the nature and terms of work available, non-payment of wages, and over-charging of recruitment fees, among other illegal practices. Moreover, the study finds Nepal's government, despite efforts to protect migrant workers, is failing to hold private recruiting agencies and individuals accountable for a variety of illegal acts.
According to report co-author Sarah Paoletti, "Vulnerability to exploitation abroad is often heightened by routine violations committed in Nepal during the pre-departure phase by individual agents, recruitment agencies, and other private actors." These illegal abuses endured by migrant workers, the report finds, in some cases lead to labor trafficking, forced labor, and debt bondage abroad.
Nepal has established laws and mechanisms to regulate labor migration and provide redress to workers who are exploited or otherwise harmed whether during the recruitment process, throughout the migration process, or once employed. The government strengthened its labor migration framework with the introduction of its Foreign Employment Act in 2007, the Foreign Employment Rules in 2008, and the Foreign Employment Policy of 2012. But, the authors write, "it has not taken sufficient steps to prevent common harms, or to ensure adequate redress and accountability when they occur."
The problem, according to the study, is that existing laws "set forth clear obligations on the part of recruitment agencies, agents, intending migrant workers, and the entities established to oversee implementation." However, the law routinely "fails to include explicit corresponding and enforceable rights for workers when those parties fail to meet their obligations."
Because of this, the study concludes, "access to justice for large numbers of Nepali migrant workers remains elusive."
For example, of the 54 migrant workers the authors interviewed for the study - all of whom had suffered some harm as part of their employment arrangements - none had obtained full redress through Nepal's legal or regulatory frameworks.
The report details how on the one hand Nepal's Foreign Employment Act and Foreign Employment Rules set forth relatively robust regulations for the recruitment of workers for foreign employment, but "much more needs to be done to improve government oversight and transparency in the process, particularly during the pre-departure phase of labor migration."
"Improving access to justice for migrant workers requires reforming the specific redress mechanisms available to migrant workers, and considering new mechanisms," the authors contend. "It also requires broader changes to the labor migration system overall, including increased transparency and more effective oversight and regulation to hold all public and private actors within the system to greater account."
The authors also recommend improving the protections and rights enforcement mechanisms for female migrant workers, "who are particularly vulnerable to serious abuse reasons of gender discrimination, the isolated nature of their work in private homes, and irregular status."
The study points out that while much attention has been directed to the rights violations endured by low-wage migrant workers in the Middle East, "where access to justice is particularly limited and the harms suffered are particularly acute… the story of labor migration begins and ends at home. While destination countries should not be absolved of their duties to respect and protect the rights of migrant workers within their borders, countries of origin share the burden of ensuring protection of their citizens basic rights, including their right to access justice."

Custody awarded after parents' murder-suicide
- Associated Press
- January 3, 2013 - 6:37 AM
FERGUS FALLS, Minn. - A judge in Otter Tail County has awarded custody of an orphaned child to the parents of a teen who killed the toddler's mother and then himself.
Darrin and Catherine Cox sought custody of the girl after their 17-year-old son, Dylan Cox, shot and killed his 16-year-old girlfriend, Tabitha Belmonte, and then himself.
The teenagers and their baby were living with the Coxes in Amor when the murder-suicide took place in March of 2011. The Coxes were granted temporary custody a short time later.
Belmonte's mother, Bobbi Teeple, also wanted custody of the child. The Forum ( http://bit.ly/VxOaZW) reports Judge Wally Senyk granted Teeple visitation rights. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Teeple against the estate of Dylan Cox and his parents is scheduled for trial Oct. 1.

Law enforcement officers in Newtown, Conn. had one brief contact with Adam Lanza while the 20-year-old mass murder was still alive.
As CBS News' John Miller reports, officers responding to the emergency calls from Sandy Hook Elementary School had fleeting glimpses of the black-clad gunman as he prowled the halls of the school.
Here are the final moments of Lanza's life, as compiled by CBS News:
"The first police officer on the scene was confronted by the glass window that Lanza had shot his way through to get past the locked door," said Miller. "The officer advanced into the school and saw the gunman, from a great distance down a long hallway, perhaps a couple of hundred feet. The gunman, dressed all in black, spotted the officer and ducked into a room off the hallway. As the officer, now joined by a partner began to rush down the hall toward the gunman they heard a volley of shots. When they got there, they found the gunman, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Just beyond the gunman, in a classroom, children huddled together, and their teacher, all of them shot multiple times. Nearby, in a bathroom another group of children, huddled together, all shot multiple times. It appears that the gunman let go a last volley of shots at his victims before killing himself with a single bullet to the head."
In the carnage that followed one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, a profile has haltingly emerged of an isolated, home-schooled youth who had very little of the Facebook/Twitter/text message presence favored today's young people. It's as notable for what is not known about Adam Lanza in an age of digital sharing.
"In this age of living out loud, the electronic footprint ... we found scant evidence that he had a profile online," said Miller, a former assistant director for the FBI. "The story is growing that he was a young man onto himself."
Reporting by Miller, "48 Hours" correspondent Troy Roberts, and other CBS News correspondents paints a picture of a shy, awkward kid who was also described as "brilliant" and "a genius."
"He really was a computer geek,'' said Lanza's aunt, Marsha Landis of Chicago. "He was a very bright boy."
Landis said Adam's mother, Nancy Lanza, had disputes with the local school district and eventually ended up home schooling Adam. She could not confirm reports that Adam Lanza had Asperger syndrome or any other learning disability.
"[Nancy] had issues with school ... She battled with the school district,'' said Landis. "I'm not 100 percent if it was behavior, learning disabilities, I really don't know. But he was very, very bright. He was smart."
Nancy Lanza was found dead in the Newtown, Conn., home she shared with her younger son. Police believe Adam Lanza killed his mother, and then collected guns registered to her in the home to use in his rampage at the elementary school.
CBS News' Bob Orr reported Sunday morning on "Face The Nation" that police found two smashed computers in the home. Law enforcement authorities have collected the computer pieces to see what information might be retrieved.
Neighbors told CBS News that Nancy Lanza was a gun enthusiast and often took Adam Lanza target shooting with her.
The aunt said Nancy Lanza kept guns for own safety, and had something of a survivalist mentality, and was worried about protecting her home if the economy went south.
Money was not an issue for the family; Nancy Landis received a healthy support payment from her ex-husband, Peter Vance.
"She didn't have to work. My brother-in-law left her well off," said Landis.
A friend of Nancy Lanza, local landscaper Dan Holmes, said he believed that Adam's father was not a presence in his life. Nancy Lanza evidently still suffered from a bad divorce and could be "pretty vocal" about her ex.
"I don't believe the kids saw their father at all," said Holmes. "She was pretty vocal about her ex-husband ... years afterwards."
Young residents of Newtown who knew Adam Lanza described him as uncomfortable in groups, shy, and that there was "something off there," reports "48 hours" correspondent Roberts.
In the chaotic hours after the mass shooting, Adam was initially confused with his older brother Ryan Lanza, who lives in Hoboken, N.J. Ryan Lanza was taken in for questioning Friday but later released. It appears as of now that he was not involved in the shooting.
CBS News' Miller notes Adam apparently grew up in the shadow of a more successful older brother.
"He was very different from his older brother, who had gone to college, and gotten job at a brokerage firm," said Miller.
As CBS News' Miller notes, there's been very little paper trail for the 20-year-old Lanza.
"It's been a mystery. ... He got his GED a few years ago ... but there's no picture of him holding a job or getting higher education."
On Saturday, Lanza's father Peter issued a statement:
"Our hearts go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones and to all those who were injured. Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy. No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can. We too are asking why. We have cooperated fully with law enforcement and will continue to do so. Like so many of you, we are saddened, but struggling to make sense of what has transpired."

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Journalist Jonathan Bloom will give the talk, "The Food Not Eaten," Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. in Trout Auditorium of the Vaughan Literature Building at Bucknell University.
Bloom is the author of American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half its Food (and What We Can Do about it), which chronicles how Americans waste food from farm to fork and examines the impact of this squandering.
The book offers suggestions on how individuals and the nation can trim food waste.
Bloom, who calls himself "An accomplished eater and mediocre composter," has covered both serious and quirky topics related to food and the environment. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, and Newsweek among others.
The talk, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Office of the President, the Berelson Center for Jewish Life, the Economics Department, and the Office of Civic Engagement.
Reasons to stop wasting food
Bloom says that Americans waste enough food every day to fill the Rose Bowl. He lists numerous reasons to stop, including the financial cost of dumping more than 100 billion pounds of food at $96 billion in 1997 dollars.
"Considering inflation, rising food prices and the fact that the amount of waste has grown with our population, that number is probably more like $150 billion now. In these lean times, the savings gleaned from reducing food waste could help pay for another stimulus package," he said.
Bloom also notes the environmental cost of dumping food in landfills. "Rotting food creates methane, a greenhouse gas more than 20 times as potent a heat-trapper as carbon dioxide. Since landfills are America's largest human-related source of methane emissions, cutting waste can have a measurable impact on the environment.
"Finally, there is an ethical price to be paid for teaching our children that food is disposable, as successive generations of Americans have done," said Bloom. "Thrift used to be a common American trait but has become increasingly rare the further we get from World War II and Depression-era scrimping. Because today's youth are disconnected from how food is grown, processed and prepared, it is easier for them to squander it. They have been desensitized to waste by the constant sight of food left behind in restaurants, schools and homes."
Bloom suggests ways to trim food waste by "planning meals before shopping, taking stock of what you already have; making a detailed grocery list and avoiding impulse buys; serving reasonable portions, knowing family or guests can always take seconds; saving and eating leftovers; and composting."
Yearlong initiative at Bucknell
Bloom's visit is part of a year-long initiative focused on food access and security. "Feeding Our Hearts, Expanding Our Vision" seeks to increase resources for local food programs that serve the needy as well as reducing food waste on campus.
The initiative was developed in response to a White House challenge issued to colleges and universities to create opportunities among people of different faith traditions and those with no religious affiliation as they work together on a common project for the public good.Contact: Division of Communications

Boy,what an ugly end to the Yankee season. Bad CC, bad offense.....and as Joe Girardi(God he has nice guns watching his meeting with the media after the game...hate being shallow but he has nice arms)added it's not fair to blame it all on ARod. Has had a miserable playoffs but he had lots of company in regards to futile production with the big bats in the Yanks lineup. There was just about NOBODY who had good at bats after the first game when the Yanks tied it 4-4 in the ninth on a two run shot by Raul Ibanez.
Yankees being swept by Detroit begs the question how can the Yanks retool with few great prospects and with such a need to blend in youth not really being able to afford giving up the few really good ones(mostly in the lower minors). Spending on plus 30 flawed players like Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher would hurt them and as incredible as it sounds they may give Alex Rodriguez away paying the vast majority of his contract just so he doesn't clog up their budget for the next five years at an average of 23 million. Derek Jeter looks like he's reacted to surgery as well as could be expected and is likely to be ready to play by spring training...but when you're pinning hopes on the healthy return of a 39 year old veteran, even one as venerable as Jeter you've got fundamental flaws on your club it may take time to correct.
In the other league the Giants were downed 8-3 by a Cards club that seems on a mission. Great start by Adam Wainwright who even without Carlos Beltran a second straight game was given a ton of support from the Cards offense. Only a two run shot by Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval in the ninth made the score slightly more respectable. He's not around much anymore but I know Abs is in his glory with the Cards on the verge of their third WS appearance since 2006(Met fans will NEVER forget that one in particular,either) Funny how Carlos Beltran goes from taking a called strike three perfect curve by Adam Wainwright to end the Met's NL hopes that year to being a crucial part of the Card's season and playoff drive. That's why baseball is so great....random stuff leading up to karmic bliss!

Channing Tatum May Be Evel (Knievel)
When you're coming off three back-to-back-to-back hits, it's time to strike while the fire is hot, and Channing Tatum is wasting no time or the clout that came from 'The Vow,' '21 Jump Street' and 'Magic Mike.' He and his production company are looking to make a bio-pic about the famous daredevil Evel Knievel.
The film would be an adaptation of the biography 'Life of Evel,' and is currently being written by Reid Carolin, who also wrote 'Magic Mike.' The film is set up at Sony, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and already has a couple of producers on it, so this is as go a project as there could be.
Collider provided the synopsis of the book, and it is as follows:
A searching and at times harrowing re-appraisal of the life of Evel Knievel, the seventies American icon and the greatest daredevil motorcyclist that ever lived. Stuart Barker's definitive biography captures the super-star status that Knievel held and also examines the marketing phenomenon of a man who once boasted he 'made $60 million and blew $63 million'.
Born in the town of Butte, Montana in 1938, Robert Craig Knievel was an outstanding athlete, ski jumper and ice hockey player at school. His early jobs included working in the copper mines and driving a bus as well as a stint in the US Army, but he always subsidized his income through crime ('I could crack a safe with one hand tied behind my back quicker than you could eat a hamburger with two.') He used bikes to escape from the police and eventually hit upon the idea of jumping them after seeing a stunt driver jump cars at a state fair. His first jump took place over two mountain lions and a box of rattlesnakes, and he soon developed his act into the 'Evel Knievel Motorcycle Daredevils' before embarking on a solo career.
Knievel suffered 37 breaks and fractures during his daredevil career. In 1967 he spent 29 days in a coma after an attempt to jump over the fountains outside Caesar's Palace casino in Las Vegas. While recovering, he decided to make his goal to jump the Grand Canyon, an attempt he was forced to abort by the US Government; and later was paid $1 million for jumping over 13 double-decker buses at Wembley Stadium. Now, a quarter of a century after he last stepped off a motorcycle, he has been reborn as the originator of Xtreme sports. This, alongside his love of gambling, women and drinking, ensure his legend will live forever. Life of Evel is the story of a truly extreme personality.
Though it took a while for the actor to find his groove in the Hollywood system, Tatum has become a big star this year, and this sounds like the perfect project for him, even if he doesn't look much like Knievel.

The Jets have been starved for a pass rusher for years. The team that gave fans the "Sack Exchange" has been searching for a dominant rusher since John Abraham left after the 2005 season. Antwan Barnes, who signed with the team in March, says the search is over. "I know for sure I can be that guy," the outside linebacker said recently. Barnes knows because he had 11 sacks two years ago for the Chargers. Barnes got a chance to play after the Chargers had some injuries and made the most of his opportunity. But the Chargers did not reward him with a starting job. Instead, they drafted linebacker Melvin Ingram in the first round and signed Jarret Johnson. That left Barnes watching from the bench for most of last season. "I just think we had too many guys," Barnes said. "It was hard to spread all the plays around to all the guys. They just pretty much trusted the guys they had starting instead of going to the bench and letting guys come off the bench and make plays." According to Pro Football Focus, Barnes played 483 snaps in 2011 and just 189 last year (he also had a hamstring injury). His sack total went from 11 to 3. "I was very surprised," Barnes said of his limited playing time. "But I saw it coming because we drafted a guy and brought a guy in, too. You knew they were going to have those guys up first. You could see it coming. Here (in New York), they didn't draft anyone so you feel more comfortable now that I'll go out here and play." Barnes played for Jets coach Rex Ryan with the Ravens in 2007 and 2008 when Ryan was the defensive coordinator. Barnes, 28, said he believes in Ryan more than the coaching staff in San Diego. "It was different in San Diego as far as using your best players," Barnes said. "Rex knows his players and he knows what they do best and he tries to put them in position to do their best." He said Ryan's defense came back to him quickly and Ryan is the same coach he remembers from Baltimore … with one difference. "The only thing that's different is he lost weight," Barnes said. "Other than that he's pretty much the same."

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart wants Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney to captain England, according to Sky Sports.
England's number one has been in sensational form for City this season, and has been rumoured to be in contention for the captaincy himself.
But the 24-year-old believes his Premier League rival Rooney deserves the armband against San Marino.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Hart said: "I've not thought about it at all. How the captain is chosen is the manager's decision. I've got a big responsibility to keep my place in the team for club and country.
"If I do get the nod, I'll try and give as much as I can in terms of helping the team. But I think it's between Wayne Rooney and Wayne Rooney if we are going to go on experience and how captain have been chosen in the past."
Regular England captain Steven Gerrard is suspended for the Group H game against San Marino on Friday, and there are doubts over the fitness of next-in-line Frank Lampard.
Manchester United forward Rooney has captained England once before, and the Old Trafford striker has 76 caps for his country, despite being still just 26 years old.
The United forward is expected to link up with Manchester United teammate Danny Welbeck for England, as Roy Hodgson's side look to get back to winning ways after their 0-0 against Ukraine last month.
Manchester City keeper Joe Hart has been one of the stars of Roberto Mancini's team this season, and was particularly impressive against Real Madrid in the Champions League. But the England goalkeeper has been called into action more than Manchester City would like, as their normally-watertight defence has wobbled in recent weeks.
The City shot-stopper has just 24 caps for England, but his impressive displays have led to calls to hand him the skippers' armband already.
