Rectal corticosteroids are used to treat mild or moderate ulcerative colitis. They also may be used along with systemic (oral or injection) corticosteroids or other medicines to treat severe disease or mild to moderate disease that has spread too far to be treated effectively by medicine inserted into the rectum alone. Rectal corticosteroids also are used to help relieve swelling, itching, and discomfort of some other rectal problems, including hemorrhoids and inflammation of the rectum caused by radiation therapy.
Rectal corticosteroids are available only with your doctor's prescription.

U.S. oil output is poised to surpass Saudi Arabia's in the next decade, making the world's biggest fuel consumer almost self-reliant and putting it on track to become a net exporter, the International Energy Agency said.
Growing supplies of crude extracted through new technology including hydraulic fracturing of underground rock formations will transform the U.S. into the largest producer for about five years starting about 2020, the Paris-based adviser to 28 nations said today in its annual World Energy Outlook. The U.S. met 83 percent of its energy needs in the first six months of this year, according to the Energy Department in Washington.
"The IEA outlook feeds into the idea of a shift in the center of influence in the world oil market," said Gareth Lewis-Davies, an analyst at BNP Paribas SA in London. "Given Saudi Arabia is willing to shift production up and down it will retain a large degree of influence, and remain important as a price-influencer."
The U.S., whose crude imports have fallen 11 percent this year, is on track to produce the most oil since 1991, according to Energy Department data. In a year when Iran has threatened to halt Persian Gulf oil shipments, the growing output, coupled with a gas-production boom, may help insulate the nation from supply disruptions. President Barack Obama cited "freeing ourselves from foreign oil" as a policy goal in his election victory speech last week, echoing his predecessor, George W. Bush, who in 2006 urged the U.S. to break its "addiction" to imported crude.
Oil Prices
West Texas Intermediate crude, the benchmark U.S. grade, has dropped 13 percent this year to $85.55 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as stockpiles swelled to a 22-year high. Prices have more than quadrupled in the past decade, reaching as high as $147.27 a barrel in July 2008.
Global demand for oil is projected to rise to 99.7 million barrels a day in 2035, up from 87.4 million last year, according to the IEA, which advises industrialized nations including the U.S., Germany and Japan. Today's report projects trends to 2035.
Saudi Arabia pumped 9.8 million barrels of oil a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. U.S. output was 6.7 million barrels a day in the week ended Nov. 2, according to the Energy Department.
Overtaking Saudi Arabia
The U.S. will pump 11.1 million barrels of oil a day in 2020 and 10.9 million in 2025, the IEA said. Those figures are 500,000 barrels a day and 100,000 barrels a day higher, respectively, than its forecasts for Saudi Arabia for those years. The desert kingdom is due to become the biggest producer again by 2030, pumping 11.4 million barrels a day versus 10.2 million in the U.S.
"Around 2017, the U.S. will be the largest oil producer of the world, overtaking Saudi Arabia," IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol said at a press conference in London today. "This is of course a major development and definitely will have significant implications."
Officials at the U.S. Energy Department weren't available for comment because government offices were closed in observance of the U.S. Veteran's Day holiday today. A Saudi Arabian oil ministry official based in Riyadh wasn't immediately available to comment on the report when contacted by phone today.
The IEA report described the U.S.'s advancement toward energy self-sufficiency as "a dramatic reversal of the trend seen in most other energy-importing countries." The nation is developing so-called tight oil reserves including the Bakken shale formation, which are extracted by hydraulic fracturing or horizontal drilling.
Shrinking Imports
U.S. oil imports will drop to about 4 million barrels a day in 10 years from a current average of 10 million because of new production and stricter fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks, which will curb demand, Birol said.
The IEA isn't alone in forecasting that the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the largest oil producer. The U.S. will achieve that goal before the end of this decade, Citigroup Inc. said in a March 20 report that included biofuels and natural gas liquids in its calculations.
The European Union banned oil imports from Iran in July over the nation's nuclear program, reducing shipments from a country that was until then the second-biggest producer in OPEC.
The IEA's members will probably pay about $125 a barrel for imported oil by 2035, compared with Brent crude prices near $109 today on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange. The North Sea grade peaked at a record $147.50 a barrel in July 2008 before tumbling to about $46 that December, and has gained in each of the three years since then.
'Epic Failure'
Efforts by global policy makers to promote energy efficiency have been an "epic failure" and fallen short of their economic potential, Birol said. Increased energy-saving measures could cut worldwide oil demand by almost 13 million barrels a day by 2035, or the current combined output of Russia and Norway. Put another way, were efficiency measures suggested by the IEA enacted in full, the increase in world energy demand over the period would be cut in half.
Natural gas consumption will rise in the forecast period, driven by China, India and the Middle East.
"In the United States, low prices and abundant supply see gas overtake oil around 2030 to become the largest fuel in the energy mix," according to the report, written by a team of researchers led by Birol.
Iraqi Surge
Iraq will be the biggest contributor to new oil supplies, raising production to 6 million barrels a day by 2020. By 2035, the nation's output rate will rise to more than 8 million, overtaking Russia to become the world's second-largest exporter, the IEA said. The country pumped 3.4 million barrels a day last month, making it the second-largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, after Saudi Arabia, according to Bloomberg estimates.
The forecasts for Iraq, a special focus of this year's IEA outlook, were previously published on Oct. 9.
In emerging nations, government subsidies will continue to spur fossil fuels use, even as lower-carbon energy sources become more popular. State subsidies cost $523 billion last year, up almost 30 percent from 2010. Subsidy programs, which remain most prevalent in the Middle East and North Africa, have become more expensive as oil prices rose, the agency said.

|Tim Lester led Elmhurst to a
10-2 mark this past season, including a first-round playoff win at
Photo by Ryan Coleman, d3photography.com
After leading the Elmhurst football team to new heights in 2012, Tim Lester has announced his resignation as the Bluejays' head coach. Lester, who spent the past five seasons at the helm of the Bluejays, has accepted a position as an assistant coach at a Division I institution.
"This is a very bittersweet day for me and my family," said Lester. "I've enjoyed every minute of my time at Elmhurst but this is a tremendous opportunity that I could not pass up. I'd like to thank the Elmhurst College administration for all the support that they showed me and the football program. I'm looking forward to following the Bluejays as they continue to become an annual national contender."
Lester, who began his collegiate coaching career as the Bluejays' offensive coordinator in 2002, was named Elmhurst's head coach prior to the start of the 2008 season. Last season, Lester directed the Bluejays to their best season in school history. The squad captured a share of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championship for the first time since the 1980 season and earned its first-ever trip to the NCAA playoffs while posting a school record for wins (10-2 record). The Bluejays advanced to the second round of the playoffs, earning the school's first postseason victory by defeating Coe. The Bluejays finished the season with a pair of Top 10 national rankings from D3football.com and the American Football Coaches Association.
In five seasons as Elmhurst's head coach, Lester compiled a 33-19 record and his .636 winning percentage is the second-highest mark in Elmhurst history. Under Lester's guidance, 33 players earned all-conference recognition, including nine during the 2012 campaign. Lester also coached a pair of All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (the first in the program's history), and the 2012 Gagliardi Trophy winner, Scottie Williams.
"Tim certainly brought the program to new heights and he was a great fit for our institution," said Elmhurst athletic director Paul Krohn. "I'd like to thank him for all that he did for our program and we wish him nothing but continued success in his career. In the meantime, I look forward to working with the college's leadership to find a new coach who will continue the momentum that our football program achieved under Tim's direction."
A search for a new head coach will begin immediately.

I tore a ligament in my ankle and what you are describing resembles what happened to me.
Suffered from it a couple of years even after physio and a 3 month rest. The only thing that helped, believe it or not, was SUP.
I found that SUP is the ultimate physio for anything to do with the waist down.
Try SUP in moderate choppy waters, it hurts a bit at first but then things improve fast.
Hope you recover fast. and even though the wind is blowing you have to give it a rest.
Good luck !

LONG BEACH – A 42-year-old man was shot and killed early Monday, marking the second slaying and fourth incident of gun violence within the city within the past three days.
The most recent killing occurred shortly after 3 a.m. in the 1000 block of Gaviota Avenue, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
The victim was hit in the upper body and died at the scene, Pratt said.
His name was being withheld pending notification of his next of kin, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's Department.
The motive for the killing was not known Monday and there have been no arrests for the crime.
It was the second fatal shooting in Long Beach within the last three days, and the fourth shooting overall.
The first fatal shooting was reported at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday at a North Long Beach mobile home park in the 6400 block of Atlantic Avenue, where three men and one woman stormed one of the mobile homes and opened fire.
Two men were shot, one 24 years old and the other 28, and ran from the home. They were both found outside by arriving officers and both victims, who are from Long Beach, were hit in the upper torso and taken taken to a local hospital, where the 24-year-old died, Pratt said.
The suspects fled in a vehicle, but no suspect or vehicle description was released by police.
The motive for that attack also remains under investigation, Pratt said.
The other two shootings took place on Saturday, with the first occurring at about 10: 50 a.m. at 55th Street and Atlantic Avenue where a man was shot in the lower body and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. That attack was being investigated as possibly gang related.
Gang detectives are also looking into a shooting that occurred at about 8 p.m. near Eighth Street and Chestnut Avenue, where a man was shot by a gunman who walked up to him and opened fire. That victim was also hit in the lower body and drove himself to a nearby hospital. He is expected to survive, police said.
How to help
Anyone with information about either of the slayings is urged to contact the LBPD Homicide Detail at 562-570-7244.
Anyone with information about the other two shootings is asked to call the Gang Enforcement Detail at 562-570-7370.
Anonymous tips on any of crimes may be made by calling 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting TIPLA plus the tip to CRIMES (274637) or go to lacrimestoppers.org.

Dykes targets trenches in 1st class at Cal
Sonny Dykes made the most of a tough situation in his first
recruiting class as coach at California.
Two months after inheriting a 3-9 team from the fired Jeff
Tedford, Dykes put together a 25-player class with an emphasis on
offensive and defensive linemen that ranks in the middle of the
conference, according to analysts.
Dykes managed to keep most of the key players who committed to
Cal when Tedford was coach and made a few key additions in the
closing weeks. While the class lacks star power, Dykes is pleased
with the depth he added on both lines of scrimmage with eight
defensive linemen and five offensive linemen.
"Those guys will never be the flashy guys in a recruiting
class," Dykes said Wednesday. "Football is won and lost in the
trenches. To add 13 quality players in terms of our lines was
The defensive group includes two junior college players, Sione
Sina and Kyle Kragen, who have already enrolled in school and could
make an immediate impact, as well as talented incoming freshmen
Takkarist McKinley, Tony Mekari and Garrett Hughes.
The offensive linemen may take more time to develop and Cal lost
its top player in that group when Cameron Hunt signed with Oregon
after originally committing to Cal when Tedford was coach.
Among the other standouts in the class are four-star quarterback
Jared Goff, speedy running back Khalfani Muhammad, linebacker
Johnny Ragin III and wide receiver Jack Austin.
The class is ranked by most analysts in the second 20 in the
nation, and is fifth in the Pac-12, according to Rivals.com
"Overall they did a pretty nice job. It was decent but they
didn't blow anyone away with the class they signed," Rivals West
recruiting analyst Adam Gorney said. "Being fifth in the
conference with a coaching change is pretty commendable for
The class was light in numbers the secondary with only
cornerbacks Darius Allensworth and Cameron Walker, and at running
back where Khalfani Muhammad is the only addition. But the Bears
got good quality at those positions and could get immediate
contributions from Walker and the speedy Muhammad, a 100-meter
state champion in California.
"He's a game breaker, somebody who can make things happen when
the ball's in his hands," Dykes said. "When you look at our
roster we need those kind of guys. That's an area we need to
improve in. We need game-breakers."
The Bears also need a quarterback and Goff will get an
opportunity to compete with last year's star recruit Zach Kline and
Allan Bridgford in spring practice. Goff, ranked as the eighth-best
pro style quarterback by Rivals, enrolled in January to get a head
"I love Jared Goff," Gorney said. "I think he's a guy who has
moxie, intelligence, the arm and composure to go in and compete for
that starting job. I don't think it's locked in for Zach Kline in
any stretch. Both of them are more than capable of running the

The Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust (HHCT)
The aim of the Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust is to assist in the preservation and conservation of fauna and flora in South Africa. It is one of the largest private trusts supporting public benefit organisations involved in this important area.
Mr Hans Hoheisen, the testator and passionate conservationist, has left a legacy that has made it possible to provide significant financial support for such causes. There is an increasing awareness that there are limits to what the South African government is able to spend on conservation, given their massive social responsibilities. Mr Hoheisen's commitment to conservation has demonstrated his desire to create a magnificent and sustainable legacy that will carry on in perpetuity.
Nedbank Private Wealth is proud of its appointment as trustee and of our role in managing this legacy. If the prospect of establishing or supporting a charitable trust to assist environmental initiatives appeals to you, kindly contact Anthony Nicklin at the following e-mail address:
The Sustainable Seas Trust is proud to have been a beneficiary of the Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust over a number of years,
during which time it received support for conservation orientated research, filming, education, capacity building and rehabilitation
projects. The very generous support of the Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust for this book South African Coasts: A celebration of our
seas and shores and through the book support for the Hope Spots are further positive contributions to conservation movements in
South Africa. The Sustainable Seas Trust warmly acknowledges the support of the Hans Hoheisen Charitable Trust.

A Tuscaloosa man is the first of three suspects to be sentenced to federal prison in connection with a string of robberies committed in December 2011.
A Tuscaloosa man is the first of three suspects to be sentenced to federal prison in connection with a string of robberies committed in December 2011.
A fourth suspect will serve no prison time after being acquitted of the charges.
Juwan Hunter, 20, was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge L. Scott Coogler to 25 years in prison.
He had agreed to the prison term in a binding plea agreement with the federal government in July, according to a news release sent Thursday from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Birmingham.
Hunter was indicted alongside Rashad "Ray-Ray" Aaron in December 2012 for the robberies of the University Chevron on U.S. Highway 11 in Cottondale on Dec. 8, 2011; the Springbrook Chevron on McFarland Boulevard East on Dec. 16, 2011; the Coaling Marathon Oil on U.S. Highway 11 in Coaling on Dec. 18, 2011; and the Big Sandy Food Mart on Alabama Highway 69 in Moundville on Dec. 21, 2011.
Aaron, 21, took his case to trial, and last month a federal jury found him not guilty of three counts of armed robbery and one count of using a firearm during the commission of a crime.
In Hunter's plea deal, he admitted to having a role in all four of the robberies, and he also admitted to the court that he brandished a firearm during the Marathon Oil robbery in Coaling.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said brandishing a firearm during violent crime carries a mandatory sentence of seven years to life in prison and that the sentence must be served after the completion of any other sentence imposed for the crime.
Two other defendants — brothers Kesharn Battle, 22, and Trevon Battle, 19 — also were indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with the robberies.
Both have pleaded guilty, with Trevon Battle admitting to acting as an accomplice in the Big Sandy Food Mart robbery and Kesharn Battle acknowledging roles in all four of the robberies.
According to the plea agreement signed by Kesharn Battle, the University Chevron holdup netted $570, three packs of cigarettes and some cellphone chargers.
During the Springbrook Chevron crime, the robbers left with nothing after the clerk said there was no money available.
At the Marathon Oil robbery in Coaling, the robbers got $1,251 in cash.
And at the Big Sandy Food Mart, where Trevon Battle admitted to casing the business prior to the others entering with firearms, the crime netted $470 and five packs of cigarettes.
Trevon Battle was given $20 of the money taken in the robbery, according to his plea agreement.
The Battle brothers are scheduled for sentencing at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 22 at the Tuscaloosa Federal Building and Courthouse before Chief Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn.

Two politicians are demanding Beyonce and Jay-Z face an investigation over their vacation in Cuba.
Republican Congress Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart have sent a joint letter to the Treasury Department demanding information about whether the couple's travel plans were approved by the government.
The stars jetted to the Caribbean nation to mark their recent wedding anniversary, and pictures of the couple's holiday have since appeared online. American citizens are banned from visiting Cuba for tourism purposes and need to obtain a special travel license from the American government to journey there, and the politicians are outraged about the high-profile couple's visit.
The letter demands "information regarding the type of license that Beyonce and Jay-Z received, for what purpose, and who approved such travel", adding, "The restrictions on tourism travel are common-sense measures meant to prevent U.S. dollars from supporting a murderous regime that opposes U.S. security interests at every turn and which ruthlessly suppresses the most basic liberties of speech, assembly and belief… Despite the clear prohibition against tourism in Cuba, numerous press reports described the couple's trip as tourism."
The couple's outing has previously enraged pro-democracy campaigners, who called the trip "extremely insensitive" in light of alleged human rights violations in Cuba.
If Beyonce and Jay-Z traveled to Cuba without obtaining a license from the government, they could be hit with a fine.

Sputtering Sounders fall to RSL
Sandy, UT – Seattle Sounders FC continued its worst start to an MLS season on Saturday as the club sustained a 2-1 defeat against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium.
RSL took a 2-0 lead into halftime after a dominant first 45 minutes with goals from Robbie Findley and Luis Gil, while Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning did well to keep his side that close.
Brad Evans scored for the Sounders in the 57th minute to cut the deficit in half, but it wasn't enough to prevent Seattle from suffering its third defeat in four games, leaving the club with just one point.
Findley tallied his first goal for Salt Lake since returning in the eighth minute when he scored from six yards after some good work by Devon Sandoval.
A corner kick 10 minutes before the break handed the hosts their second goal as Sebastian Velasquez played the ball into the area for Ned Grabavoy, who flicked it on for Gil to head home.
Joao Plata came on as a substitute before the break in place of Findley, who left the match injured, and only a nice stop from Gspurning on the former Toronto FC man prevented a third goal.
Seattle got back into the game in the 57th when DeAndre Yedlin's cross was redirected off the post and into the net by Evans. But the Sounders seemed to run out of ideas after the goal and Salt Lake was the more dangerous team over the final 30 minutes.

Junior of the Year: Henderson draws coaches north
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The migratory instincts of birds and the recruiting habits of college football coaches are similar: When winter arrives, they both flock to warmer climates of Florida, Texas and other southern states in an annual act of self-preservation.
In 2010, the process could be dramatically reversed.
Well, not for the birds, who will continue to fly south. But football coaches figure to be flying north in uncommon numbers to see 6-foot-8, 315-pound offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson, Rivals.com's Junior of the Year Award winner.
Though they're still poring over film from the two big all-star games from this past weekend and assembling their 2009 recruiting classes, make no mistake: Every major-college football coach is aware of Henderson, who has the strength you'd expect for someone his size and the agility you wouldn't.
"It's rare when coaches from Florida come up here," says Mike Scanlan, the football coach at Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul. "They have a gold mine of talent [down there], but they're coming up here."
And they will keep coming.
"Our last high-profile athlete was [Notre Dame freshman wide receiver] Michael Floyd," Scanlan says. "[Ohio State coach] Jim Tressel never found a way to our building when they recruited Michael Floyd, and they wanted him badly. Tressel has found a way to get here. I've got a feeling we'll see [UCLA coach] Rick Neuheisel.
"The only time we saw [USC coach] Pete Carroll was when they were recruiting [current Denver Broncos starting offensive tackle] Ryan Harris. That would be the litmus test."
It will be a while before the coaches start rolling in. But the mail already is.
"I've got 500 to 600 letters," Henderson says between bites of a lunch that consisted of cheese sticks, fried potatoes, fruit and pumpkin pie. "It's aggravating. You get so many letters you don't know where to put them."
The compelling questions are which of the letters pique Henderson's interest and where will he continue his playing career. And will he play football?
"He has the good feet of a basketball player," Scanlan says. "I don't think 'Coach K' would court him, but he could definitely play basketball at a high level."
Cretin-Durham Hall basketball coach Jerry Kline agrees. So do coaches at a lot of Division I basketball programs.
"A lot of Big Ten and Big 12 teams have shown interest," Kline says. "Georgia Tech and Florida have called. He had a hell of an AAU season. If he stays where he is at his height and ability, football is his ticket. But if he gets to 6-9 or 6-10, he'll have a hell of a decision."
That's not out of the question. Henderson's maternal grandfather is 6-9. And Henderson is just 16, so he is still growing. But he says he will pursue football.
"I have a better future in football," he says. "There are a lot of 6-8 guys that are a dime a dozen in basketball."
So, that question is answered. The others remain unknown.
He said he's always liked Notre Dame. He likes Minnesota, too. He said he's interested in Florida, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, USC and Texas Tech, even though he didn't know where Lubbock was.
"Is it near Houston?" he asks.
Not really. Informed Lubbock was about a 10-hour drive from Houston, Henderson shook his head in near-disbelief.
"Man. Texas is a big state," he says.
No doubt Texas Tech coaches would like to convince him that a big man would fit nicely in a big state.
Whatever the case, Henderson knows this time next year he'll face a big decision.
"Me and my family will sit down and talk," he says. "We'll look for education first. I don't know what I want to do, but everybody can't go to the NFL. I'll be looking for what can help me and my future."
In that case, he should look for a school with a strong accounting curriculum. Someday, he'll need to be good with large numbers.
"He'll be a millionaire," says Cretin-Derham Hall volunteer offensive line coach Ray Hitchcock, who earned a Super Bowl ring while playing guard and center with the Washington Redskins for three seasons in the late 1980s. "He's tough and coachable, and he gets what you're telling him."
Maybe that's because he gets an abundance of expert coaching. Jon Alt, a former Kansas City Chiefs tackle, also is a volunteer coach because his son is Cretin-Derham Hall's quarterback.
"Coach Alt tells me to be violent on the field," Henderson says. "Coach Hitchcock is more of a technician."
The sign on Scanlan's door says "Guidance Counselor," not football coach. The walls of his small office are decorated with framed photos of Joe Namath, Bob Marley and Carlos Santana.
That's hardly the typical football coach's work space. Of course, he's not the typical coach. Scanlan's graying blond hair flows to his shoulders. His beard, glasses and mellow speech pattern evoke thoughts of John Lennon rather than any football coach.
He'll be a millionaire…He's tough and coachable, and he gets what you're telling him.
- Cretin-Derham Hall volunteer offensive line coach Ray Hitchcock on Henderson
He played quarterback at St. Thomas University in St. Paul, and he started his career as a history teacher and chemical-dependency counselor. That's not the career path of the average high school coach anywhere.
Yet Scanlan's program is a perennial powerhouse in Minnesota. This season, the Raiders advanced to the state semifinals before losing 28-27 on a failed 2-point conversion attempt. Still, some might question the legitimacy or caliber of Minnesota high school football.
In the past seven years, Minnesota has produced just 14 players who were rated four- or five-star prospects by Rivals.com. Florida has 59 in the 2009 class alone. Texas has 42.
But Cretin-Derham Hall's athletic alumni includes Heisman recipient Chris Weinke, former Miami quarterback Steve Walsh, Harris, Floyd and Major League Baseball players Paul Molitor and Joe Mauer. Mauer was one of the nation's best high school quarterbacks in 2001 and chose Florida State, only to sign with the Minnesota Twins instead after he was selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2001 MLB draft.
"We've had some high-profile athletes," Scanlan says. "You probably have versions of Seantrel in Texas, Florida and California. But when people see Seantrel play, they know he's the real thing."
Some don't even need to see him play.
A Big Ten coach visiting Cretin-Derham Hall two years ago saw Henderson and told then-assistant coach Andy Bischoff, now with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, that he'd offer Henderson a scholarship. Henderson was a freshman and wasn't yet playing on the varsity.
"I told my mother and she was like, 'Wow, you didn't even play varsity yet. How do you do that?' " Henderson says.
Scanlan also thought Henderson would be a special player at first sight.
"I knew as soon as he walked into the door when he was in the ninth grade. He fills up a room," Scanlan says. "He always had that physical presence, but you watch how he moves. A lot of big guys can't move like he can."
That's obvious on tape. Cretin-Derham Hall runs a version of the spread offense and passes more than 60 percent of the time, so Henderson is more accomplished in pass blocking, though Scanlan doesn't hesitate to run behind him.
"A lot of brain surgeons have popped up and said, 'You have a tendency to run behind Seantrel,' " Scanlan says, laughing. "Tell me something I don't know. We're going to continue to do that."
Henderson can be dominant at the line of scrimmage, and tapes show he is routinely involved in plays 20 and 30 yards downfield.
"He's so physical at the point of attack; once he gets his hands on you, it's over," Hitchcock says. "He has superior size and strength, and he can block out in space on screens. He's good and patient in pass blocking, and he does not reach.
"Young linemen tend to lean and start grabbing at something. He doesn't need to do that. The great ones understand that you're going to get that guy [you're facing] eventually. [Defensive players] want you to lean. He picked that up with no problem."
"Grace" isn't often a term associated with an offensive lineman unless he is spiritual and gives thanks before a meal. But Hitchcock said that adjective describes Henderson.
"He's very graceful, and he moves like a man of lesser weight," Hitchcock says. "Yet he can pack the punch with that size he has. He's a great kid, too, and a joy to be around. My son is in his class. He's just a normal 16-year-old in a grown man's body."
Somehow, Henderson almost appears lean at 315 pounds. Hitchcock says he thinks with a strict college weightlifting regimen, he could bulk up to 340 or 350 pounds without losing a step of quickness.
The downside of that awesome physical presence is that it's easy to forget Henderson is just 16. That concerns Scanlan. He'd rather Henderson not be considered the nation's No. 1 prospect, but understands that it's likely.
"I don't think it's a fair thing, but there's no getting around it," Scanlan says. "He's handled [attention] well, but think of your ability to handle things as a 16- or 17-year-old. Now, all of the sudden, you're the No. 1 player in the country.
"A lot of players couldn't handle that well, but he has."
That's because Henderson doesn't seek attention. He doesn't see himself as being different than the other students. He doesn't want them to see him differently, either.
"I'm a regular kid, just not in size," he says. "I'm just like everybody else. Most kids treat me like any other kid, but some keep their distance. A lot think I will hurt them. I'll just want to shake hands and they will flinch. It's like, 'Wow, I'm not going to hurt you or anything.' "
He'd rather just blend in to the crowd, which is impossible for him, especially at Cretin-Derham Hall.
"Ours is a predominantly white school and he's a large person of color," Scanlan says. "As much as you might like this place, you wonder what that's like for him. Maybe 15 percent of the school is African-American, and we have 1,300 students. In some ways, it could be a lonely place.
"But he and his mom saw some advantages to being here. We're hard on the students here. We make sure they're on time, their shirts are tucked in and they dress properly. We have high expectations that you have to meet, and he's done a good job in that regard.
"He's not malicious or mean. He's quiet and shy. Of course, when I'm not around, he could be different. But you knew when Michael Floyd was in the room, and not in a bad way. Seantrel is a little quieter and has a low profile."
Not for long. His profile already is rising, and in the next year, it's going to soar. Just like all those planes that will have college coaches flying north to Minnesota to see him.

For years, political analysts have predicted that Latino voters will determine who wins the White House, and this election is no different. So what should we expect Tuesday?
At least one poll suggests that President Obama will score big with Latinos, capturing a record percentage of that powerful voting bloc (Latinos make up about 10% of the electorate). A poll released Monday by Latino Decision and impreMedia found that 73% of likely Latino voters said they plan to cast their ballots for Obama, with 24% favoring former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and 3% undecided. If those numbers continue to track, Obama is looking at a historic showing, surpassing the 72% of Latino voters who went for President Clinton in 1996. The polling firm is a nonpartisan group that focuses on Latinos.
So what's driving the numbers? Latino Decision's Gary Segura and Matt Barreto suggest it's Romney's hard shift to the right on key issues, ranging from immigration to the economy, that has Latinos running from the GOP and toward the Democrats.
ENDORSEMENTS: The Times' recommendations for Nov. 6
That seems like a fair guess. Let's not forget that during the GOP primary debates, Romney carved out a pretty tough position on immigration and introduced Americans to the term "self-deportation." Romney later clarified his oft-misunderstood statement, saying that "we're not going to round up 12 million people, undocumented illegals, and take them out of the nation. Instead, let people make their own choice. And if they -- if they find that -- that they can't get the benefits here that they want and they can't -- and they can't find the job they want, then they'll make a decision to go to a place where -- where they have better opportunities."

2013 World Team Wrestle-Off Results
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The King University women's wrestling team had three wrestlers compete at the World Team Wrestle-Off on Saturday, and one made King history. Alli Ragan became the first women's wrestler in King history to earn a spot on a Senior World Team, taking first in the 59 kg weight class.
Ragan advanced to the finals where she faced Erin Clodgo in the best two-out-of-three finals. In the first match, the Carbondale, Ill., native used a takedown with 20 seconds left to gain a 6-5 lead en route to a 1-0 lead. Ragan captured the title with an 8-0 win on a tech fall to sweep the final 2-0. She will be the first women's wrestler to represent King on a Senior World team at the 2013 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary on September 18-20.
"Erin's a really tough wrestler," Ragan said. "It's been back and forth when we've wrestled. I definitely was ready for that match. I needed to get my offense going and keep moving."
Samantha Klingel and Amanda Hendey also competed at the event for the Tornado. Hendey turned in a third place finish at the 67 kg weight class after she pinned Jennifer Page in 34 seconds. At the 51 kg weight class, Klingel dropped a third place bout to Katherine Fulp-Allen, finishing fourth.
Julia Salata, Lorrie Ramos and incoming Tornado Haley Augello also competed at the event. Salata advanced to the semifinals of the 67 kg weight class before falling to Hendey on a 10-5 decision. Ramos won her first bout in the 67 kg weight class before dropping consecutive matches to be eliminated while Augello advanced to the semifinals of the 51 kg weight class before being forced to withdraw due to injury.

The Wrong Texture Can Be a Disaster
The wrong texture can completely change the perception of flavor and turn a winning formulation into a chalky or gummy mess.
The world of new products is perpetually abuzz with the new and the natural, but today, the real action is happening in texture. Whereas we constantly hear about the sense of smell — aroma — constituting 80 percent of the sensation we call "taste," texture's contribution is undeniable.
Think of it: How well would you enjoy even the best-tasting chicken cordon bleu, Denver omelet or BLT sandwich as a liquid?
Texture is about more than snap, crackle or pop, though. The wrong texture can completely change the perception of flavor and turn a winning formulation into a chalky or gummy mess. Texture also can take foods beyond the senses. Healthfulness and shelf-life are influenced by many of the current trendy ingredients used for texture enhancement.
"Product texture is very important to us when we develop new items," states Kent Spalding, vice president of marketing and development for processor Weetabix North America/Barbara's Bakery (www.weetabix.com), Petaluma, Calif. "I'm a firm believer texture must be a part of the equation. Something that has no body to it, when you first eat it — even if it has flavor — is not likely to work well in the marketplace."
Barbara's takes an analytical approach to texture. "We try to focus on that first sensation and how it progresses through the eating experience," he continues. "Mouthfeel is a critical consideration. Depending on who we're targeting, we examine factors such as, 'product bite,' 'tongue-feel,' etc."
Asking the right questions
Spalding describes some of the questions considered when determining texture parameters: "Are we looking for a hard-crunchy mouth appeal or a light compression? A smooth surface or a textured surface? It all depends on the goals for the particular product we're developing. If we're targeting children, we most likely would consider a softer bite with a lighter compression."
Processors today face the need for a more targeted approach to texture that considers finer nuances. "For example," says Spalding "if you contrast our new children's cereal, Barbara's Organic Wild Puffs, [which have] a light-crispy bite with a softer compression, to our Puffins line, which targets the entire family, you will notice a textural difference. Both have broad appeal, yet focus on different segments."
Some of the biggest texture challenges involve creating more uniqueness in a product by having multiple similar, but not identical, textures — as in the Wild Puffs cereal by Barbara's Bakery.
Other key texture questions Spalding considers are: Do you get a nice crunch with the start? Does the texture stay with you as you eat it? How fast does that sensation stay through the experience?
"Let's say you get a compressed component," he explains. "You bite down, and does it last? Or do you lose it fast? You might get the first 'crunch' and maybe it's multilayered, so then you get a second 'hit' out of that texture. That's important."
When it comes to the texture component of R&D, Weetabix/Barbara's Bakery typically works with internal staff and flavor experts. Yet texture is an attribute the company measures in scaled detail as it reviews products. However, according to Spalding, the team might consider calling in an outside consultant or texture specialist for a specific challenge.
Texture on the rise
Nowhere is texture more crucial than snack crackers. "Texture is what defines us," declares George Eckrich, baker-turned-founder of Kracker Enterprises LLC (www.drkracker.com). The Dallas-based company is responsible for the extensive line of Dr. Kracker snack crackers and flatbreads.
Eckrich's first encounter with the flatbreads and crackers he enjoyed in Europe was an epiphany. "They weren't at all like the ones here [which] turn almost to powder in the mouth." Eckrich discovered the European products have the benefit of long yeast rising, as opposed to the more common chemically risen technique here.
"When you use yeast, you get a long fermentation time, which builds protein bonds. In artisan breads, it creates desired wide-open pores. But in an extrusion or rolling process, it makes a compressed porousness — almost like a fine honeycomb structure that has firm structure. And we know a honeycomb is one of the strongest, most stable structures there is."
According to Eckrich, the fine-pore structure keeps a Dr. Kracker cracker from succumbing to shatter and protects its integrity while the product is being enjoyed. He also points out the long yeast-rising stage also increases flavor.
Adding other components to a cracker formulation presents other issues. "One challenge we faced was adding sundried tomatoes or fruits," says Eckrich. "These are hydroscopic – they absorb water and are hard to dry out to the right activity of water. As we play with new flavors, we need to get the ingredients into such a form that we can use them in Dr. Kracker without ruining the structure and texture."
Sweeteners also can cause problems for a product designed for firm, crisp textures. Sugar picks up any humidity in the air, softening the product. The sugar also increases the "shortness" making a more crumbly texture. In some products, Dr. Kracker solved the sweetener problem by using agave nectar, adding it to the dough instead of the topping.

February break came and went, and for many students it was refreshing and invigorating. In the spirit of re-energizing, Veronica E. Connor Middle School recently hosted a Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support week. The premise behind PBIS is to promote and reinforce positive behaviors in students and to establish a climate where character and respect is valued and rewarded.
The Viking Values of Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be Safe have been instilled throughout the middle school as expectations for students, but in the spirit of continued galvanization of these principles, PBIS week challenged students to create posters that depict the Viking Values. The middle school students rose to the challenge and the hallways have been bedecked with posters demonstrating ways to be safe, correct things to say to be respectful and reminders of what to do to be responsible. The winning poster, created by Joshua Schaefer and Chloe McQuestion showed all of the Values and demonstrated exactly how they can be accomplished through photographs (with the help of Lora Randles).
Continued activities throughout PBIS week included daily motivational announcements with quotes from famous people reinforcing the importance of character and a Viking spirit day where all students, faculty and staff were encouraged to sport the color blue to promote the Viking Values. Throughout the week teachers also issued Viking Value Tickets to students. Students earning tickets were entered into a drawing to win gift certificates to several local establishments.

Linear ball bearings LBC, D-series
Representing the next generation of SKF linear ball bearings, the new LBC, D-series improves on the already best-in-class LBC range with features that include higher load ratings, longer life and reduced friction.
LBC, D-series bearings consist of a cage and raceway segments to support ball sets and seals. Raceways feature exceptionally long track and precision profiles to accommodate heavy loads. The new series is available for shaft diameters from 12 to 40 mm, with the choice of double-lip seals. Stainless steel versions are available for a wide range of harsh applications, and can be used in combination with SKF stainless steel guiding shafts for robust resistance to humidity and other adverse conditions.
Features and benefits
Depending on the specific bearing size, LBC, D-series linear ball bearings can deliver up to 15% higher dynamic load capacity and up to 50% longer bearing lifetime than previous LBC designs. Optimized ball tracks and larger rolling elements (fig 1.) enable the performance increases, and in turn, greater reliability and productivity for the application. Higher load carrying capacity also gives product designers and manufacturers the flexibility to downsize designs or increase loading.
Boundary dimensions and tolerances of the LBC, D-series linear ball bearings are in accordance with ISO 10285 standards, making them fully interchangeable (fig. 2) with previous LBC or other ISO Series 3 bearings. For product designers and manufacturers, the new LBC, D-series bearings offer a flexible, drop-in replacement option for existing equipment designs.
The LBC, D-series linear ball bearings includes the self-aligning LBCD variant (fig. 3). Self-aligning LBC, D-series linear ball bearings can accommodate tilting of the whole bearing through an angle of ±30 minutes of arc. This tilting feature compensates for misalignments caused by fitting or manufacturing tolerances, or by significant bending of an unsupported shaft. The LBC, D-series cage, seals and shields have been optimized to accommodate the self-aligning feature so that the bearing, shields and seals remain concentric with the shaft. LBC, D-series bearings ensure good running characteristics despite misalignment, ultimately supporting increased bearing lifetime and reduced maintenance demands.
LBC, D-series bearings have an optimized cage design with fewer overall components than previous generations, a reduction that increases the reliability of the bearing and the application. The new cage design features larger ball sizes, ball tracks, grease reservoir and recirculation zones (fig. 4). This combination of features helps ensure smooth operation with less friction and noise, making LBC, D-series bearings a very good option even for sensitive applications like those found in the medical industry.
All LBC, D-series bearings and units are factory-lubricated with the optimum amount of SKF LGEP2 grease (fig. 5). Pre-lubrication means LBC, D-series bearings arrive "shaft ready" to help reduce assembly times and mounting mistakes, while no lubrication requirements after mounting helps cut costs. Food industry-approved and other greases are available on request.
To help make bearing mounting procedures more ergonomic, LBC, D-series bearings feature two indicator marks on the front side: one for main load direction, one for lubrication port position (fig. 6). The indicators enable fast bearing orientation in the housing, reducing the chance of errors as well as bearing mounting times.

Postel, Wilhelm (16th century)
Wilhelm Postel (Elias Pandocheus, pseudonym), a mystic and friend of the Anabaptists of the 16th century, used the pseudonym for reasons of personal security, wrote books advocating religious tolerance, e.g., Panthenosia (1547), was a friend of Jean Bantin of Basel, Switzerland, the physician of David Joris, of Joris himself, and of Blesdijk, the son-in-law of Joris. He testified at the trial of David Joris in 1559, but said nothing personally detrimental to Joris. He ascribed great religious illumination to Joris, which had, however, been misused through the sumptuous living of the sectarian leader, who had grown wealthy from gifts of love.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionThe whale shark is the largest fish in the world; with its vast size it resembles the whales from which its common name is derived. The head is flattened and the wide mouth, positioned at the tip of the snout, stretches almost as wide as the body. The dorsal fin is particularly large and the tail has a half-moon shape. The patterning of the body is very distinctive with its dark greyish-blue colour on the back and sides, and array of pale yellow blotches; the undersurface is pale (5). Stout ridges travel the length of the body, ending at the tail shaft (6). Five massive gill slits occur on the side of the head and within these there is a sieve like structure of cartilage (5). Curiously, the mouth contains around 300 tiny teeth although the function of these is unknown (6).
