Dr. Hafler is the William S. and Lois Stiles Edgerly Professor and Chairman Department of Neurology, Yale School of Medicine and is the Neurologist-in-Chief of the Yale-New Haven Hospital. He graduated magna cum laude in 1974 from Emory University with combined B.S. and M.Sc. degrees in biochemistry, and the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1978. He then completed his internship in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins followed by a neurology residency at Cornell Medical Center-New York Hospital in New York.
Dr. Hafler received training in immunology at the Rockefeller University then at Harvard where he joined the faculty in 1984. He was one of the Executive Directors of the Program in Immunology at Harvard Medical School and was on the faculty of the Harvard-MIT Health Science and Technology program where he was actively involved in the training of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.
Hafler, in many respects, is credited with identifying the central mechanisms underlying the likely cause of MS. His early seminal work demonstrated that the disease began in the blood, not the brain, which eventually led to the development of Tysabri to treat the disease by blocking the movement of immune cells from the blood to the brain. He was the first to identify myelin-reactive T cells in the disease, published in Nature, showing that indeed, MS was an autoimmune disorder. He then went on to show why autoreactive T cells were dysregulated by the first identification of regulatory T cells in humans followed by demonstration of their dysfunctional state in MS. As a founding, Broad Institute member, Hafler identified the genes that cause MS, published in the New England Journal of Medicine and Nature. More recently, he identified the key transcription factors and signaling pathways associated with MS genes as potential treatment targets. Finally, he recently discovered that salt drives induction of these pathogenic myelin reactive T cells, both works published in Nature. Hafler was the Breakstone Professor of Neuroscience at Harvard, and became Chairman of Neurology at Yale in 2009, where he has built an outstanding clinical and research program that strongly integrates medical sciences. He has received numerous honors including the Dystel Prize from the AAN for his MS research and is among the most highly cited living neurologists.

Ten seconds into his television acting debut, Ryan Lochte was already shirtless and had uttered his catch phrase, "Jeah!"
The five-time London medalist will play himself in an upcoming episode of "90210." We'd go into plot details, but you don't care. You either want to see him shirtless or to see how well-versed he is in acting's Donaghy Method.
Verdict: Lochte is to Donaghy like Brando is to Stanislavski.
It's been a week full of firsts for Lochte. On Thursday, he appeared on "The Tonight Show." Lochte is so laid back he makes Phelps seem like Missy Franklin.
While on the show, actress Kristen Bell stole Lochte's medals.
Lochte seems confounded by the words Bell spoke. Can't say I blame him; I'd also turn into a puddle of nerves if Veronica Mars ever chatted me up.
Also, if Lochte isn't the next "Bachelor," then we've failed, America. We've failed.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Two members of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth track and field team recently earned United States Track and Field and Cross County Coaches Association (USTFCCA) Academic All-America honors, when the national office announced the 2013-14 Division III Individual and Team Academic Awards program.
Seniors Krista Chauvin (Seekonk, Mass.) and Zach Switaj (Tamworth, N.H.) were recognized by the national coaches association as Individual Academic All-Americans, while the Corsairs' women's track and field squad made their third consecutive appearance on the Division III All-Academic Team.
"Krista and Zach epitomize the NCAA Division III student-athlete model, establishing a standard of excellence inside the classroom and at the site of athletic competition," Head Coach Steve Gardiner said. "Krista has earned the highest award a student-athlete can attain twice since joining the program three years ago, while Zach met the athletic component of the criteria this past winter after satisfying the academic component each and every year. I am extremely proud of our team for being able to balance the rigors of their academic pursuits while also meeting the athletic demands of being a student-athlete."
To be eligible for the USTFCCA Individual Academic All-America honors, a student-athlete must be ranked in the top-35 nationally in their respective event and maintain a 3.3 grade point average or higher. In order to be considered for the All-Academic Team Award, the squad must compile a cumulative grade point average of 3.1 or higher.
Chauvin, the only female representative from the Little East Conference, made her second appearance on the USTFCCA Academic All-America team. The senior from Seekonk, Mass. represented UMass Dartmouth at the 2014 NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships in Lincoln, Neb., qualifying for the weight throw event. She registered a throw of 16.51 meters (54-02.00) to place 10th overall in the national field, one spot shy of reaching the All-America round. Chauvin established a new Corsair standard at the Division III New England Championships with a toss of 17.16 meters (56-03.75). Highly decorated, she also garnered All-Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), All-Open New England, and All-Division III New England honors in the weight throw. Chauvin also set a new Little East Conference Championship record with a throw of 17.11 meters (56-01.75) to capture her second straight individual conference title.
Chauvin will continue her intercollegiate career at Gardner-Webb University, enrolling as a graduate student for the 2014 fall semester. She is currently a member of the women's soccer team, and also has one year of eligibility remaining in indoor and outdoor track and field.
Switaj made his debut at the 2014 NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships, advancing to the national meet in the mile event. The senior from Tamworth, N.H. was the fifth runner in his preliminary heat and 13th overall to cross the finish line, covering the distance in a time of four minutes, 17.89 seconds. He set a new Corsair record at the Last Chance Meet, when Switaj posted a record-breaking time of four minutes, 11.70 seconds, finishing nearly three seconds ahead of the previous standard that was set by Eric Nygaard (4:14.61) in 2011. He also owns a share of the UMass Dartmouth distance medley relay record that was established at the New England Open Championships this past winter. Earlier in the season, Switaj won a pair of individual titles (mile, 3,000-meter) to help the Corsairs capture the 2014 Little East Conference Championship for the second time in the past three years.
This fall, Switaj will compete at Adams State (Colo.), the top-ranked Division II program, as a graduate student. He will be studying at the premiere exercise science and altitude training facility in the country.

PresentationAfter a long track record of artistic meetings, exhibitions, regular attendance of groups of drawing, sketching, painting, sculpture and even pottery, I created and facilitated a workshop of pictorial art for 3 years. My influences have been marked as a child by the Impressionists and especially Van Gogh. Later, it was abstract painting with Mondrian (1st period ?trees?), then Chagall and Rouault for their work on the windows and finally by Vieira Da Silva for his elaborate paintings and geometric. Today we can say that my style has found a compromise that goes from representational to abstraction through a geometrization of the unreal. Each black ring is the will to change the idea of stained glass, sometimes with the notion of colored glass and transparency. As for the inlaid squares, circles and other lines, they represent my desire to incorporate music in my painting, a simple idea of ??musical notes and likely to give rhythm to each table. When people ask me to define my artistic technically, I answer simply and synthesis, it is a modern conceptual painting.

Philips cd-i controllers - rare and unreleased
>> Wednesday, September 4, 2013
A small collection of cd-i controllers.
Alan: I bought this from the former head of Philips Media games. It doesn't work with any of my cd-i players, but how cool it is. The only way I know it was released is because it appears on the packaging of the cd-i game 'The rules of golf'. The joystick controller is very 'sticky' though so I wouldn't want to play games with it. More designed for audio CD's I'd say.
Loren Nerell replied: "That controller was for a development CDi player. No developers had machines before the retail machine was released so that they could make the software, all the development machines were this color. I worked at Philips Media LA from 90-96, so I remember them well."
This was only available direct from my old mate Gamgator2000 on ebay. It allows an external gamepad to be connected to the cd-i via a convertor (left of picture). One recently sold for a high price. Using a Sega gamepad just adds a little extra, as you can use 'turbo' mode.
How about this? I found it a few years ago in Germany. Allows you to use a Sony playstation gamepad in conjunction with a cd-i joystick. You can use either - I've never tried to use both at the same time. But I will! The analog sticks do not work though, which is a shame.
Wow! This was available for a short time on ebay this week. A fully working prototype wireless controller, with mini trackball. Allows both left and right handed players to play. Was going to be released just before the end of cd-i. Did anyone snap this up? Would love to know..
{thanks, Alan}

(answer below!)
Up the rue de la Roquette, between our temporary apartment and the Cimitiere du Pere Lachaise (where, among others, Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and Edith Piaf are interred for all eternity), there's a little gated park that seems always to be empty. It's a pretty park, like so many others in Paris; there are bright green lawns surrounded by two-foot-high green fences, a circular fountain with benches on three sides, trees, flowers, and a general air of tranquility. At least it seems so from the outside, where I'm always standing , looking in. This park, also like nearly every other park in Paris, is a dog-free zone. So Fanny and I stand outside, admiring the beauty from a distance.
It's a sad little sight watching Fanny as she catches a whiff of that heavenly greenery, probably wondering why the hell we're not actually going in. It's a bit like looking over the prison wall and seeing Shangri-la or some other verdant paradise; so close but yet so very, very far.
Just outside this park is a "pigeonnaire." I didn't know that's what it was called until I studied the sign. It explains that this bird palace was erected as a joint project between the city of Paris and the SPA as a creative solution to the city's pigeon "problem." The Pigeonnaire sits on a single metal post roughly 8 feet high; the structure itself is a tall, three story affair with little curved doorways and pigeon-sized decks on each level. Here, the birds gather to nest, preen, and, presumably, stay out of humans' hair. What a nice, clever idea I thought to myself. San Francisco should be so smart; they'd never think of something so humane, so dignified. Hmf! I'm glad I said goodbye to that draconian place.
A mere hour after marveling at Paris' animal-friendly ingenuity, I was standing in the local police station, bearing a box containing one scuttling, pooping, fledgling pigeon. The commissariat was not the place to go searching for assistance. Inside, a group of about 5 or 6 twentysomething flics surrounded me, interrogating me about all sorts of things that had nothing to do with this bird. "Where are you from? Do you understand what I'm saying? Where do you live?" After wasting five minutes of my time, they suggested I just put the bird back on the sidewalk where I found it.
"But there are all sorts of dogs out there who might eat her."
"Ah, well, that's just nature for you."
"No. That's not 'nature.' Domestic dogs are not 'nature.'"
I left in tears, with the one nice flic in the bunch calling out "Desolee, madame" after me. Next stop: a nearby pet-supplies store. I figured they might have some ideas. The nice young man behind the counter suggested I bring the pigeon to some place that didn't sound good once he mentioned "puppies and kittens for sale," but he was certain that they'd take this little critter in and care for it. After a wild and wonky metro journey that included getting stopped briefly by metro flics for squeezing through a turnstile instead of using my ticket, I arrived at this awful pet store. The young retards running the place were of no help at all.
I decided then to just take the bird home and figure it all out once I got there, but with my eye on the lookout for a vet's office along the way. We didn't pass one. At home, I gave the pigeon a comfy towel to make herself at home on, before cajoling her to drink some water, which she finally did do. After some internet research, I realized I really should have just left her where I found her; she was probably learning to fly from the ground up, and her mother was probably nearby with food ready to be delivered. How many times during the course of my tenure at the SF/SPCA did I counsel people on this very subject, and how could I have neglected to heed my own advice? I think the moral of this story is "Don't call people 'retards'."

The tragic consequences of bullying have frequently been highlighted in film and, every so often, in the media. Most outcomes are not fatal but the impact of verbal, physical and cyber bullying is often traumatic.
In an interview for the 2012 documentary film Bully, writer/director Lee Hirsh revealed the need "to dispel the notion that bullying is just 'kids being kids.' "
Kidz Matter is a nonprofit organization in Ventura County that works with local schools to reduce bullying, which has been defined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as repetitive unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance.
While its reliance on private donations restricts the number of schools it can adopt, the organization is committed to making a difference by offering anti-bullying programs while the schools elect which program to implement. Currently, it's involved with Rio Rosales, Rio Del Norte, Fred Williams, Portola and Elmhurst Elementary Schools.
"By empowering and educating kids and school staff, bully behavior will become more easily identified, thus bringing more awareness and resolution, said Brett Marsh, Kidz Matter director of operations and owner of West Coast ATA in Oxnard.
Children have varying views on bullying. When students from local school districts were asked, "What do you think bullying is?", this is how they responded:
"Picking on someone because they are different" – Keanu, 11
"Teasing and they don't like it" – Andrew, 9
"When a person makes fun of people to feel better" – Alice, 12
"Beating people up" – Brody, 6
"A boy, girl or adult that's picking on anybody" – Elijah, 8
The Victory Life Skill Program, which focuses on developing existing character traits (respect, courtesy, honesty, etc.) is the foundation of Kidz Matter and it serves as a vehicle for other programs as well (fitness, safety, academic achievement).
Other character traits are also practiced in the American Taekwondo Association (ATA), through which Marsh and the Ventura-based affiliate run by Kerry Jiroch are established as martial artists and studio owners.
In 2012, Rio Rosales Elementary School in Oxnard hosted its first Youth Leadership Summit with Marsh as the keynote speaker, addressing more than 75 student leaders in the Rio School District about goals. Kidz Matter also led a Family Fitness and Health evening, attended by more than 100 families.
"With Kidz Matter to enhance our school, we're on the path of building a solid foundation of education, health and fitness, leadership and life skills for each student," said Principal Leticia Ramos of Rio Rosales Elementary.
"Kidz Matter enabled students to be more aware of bullies, and teachers to be able to intervene earlier," added Missey Hernandez, fifth-grade teacher at Fred Williams Elementary School in Oxnard.
A bullying survey of 600 students conducted last year in the Rio School District revealed that verbal bullying was the most common form, with 60 percent admitting it took place during lunch.
Rio Vista Middle School Principal Brasilia Perez explained that, as a result, the school applied the top suggestions, and parents hired a dance group and a comedian for the students for an anti-bullying presentation.
Marsh also encourages parents to communicate with children and be educated on bullying-related issues. In fact, the National Bullying Prevention Center mentions parental involvement not only if a child is a victim but also if he or she is a bully.
"Bullying occurs throughout our society and it's been part of our culture since the beginning of time, but the children of today see bullying everywhere they look. We need to step in and let them know what's expected," said Ventura Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Trudy Arriaga.
Consequently, the local Ventura Police Department reports that one in four children who are bullies will have criminal records before the age of 30, while the National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children are absent every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students.
Kidz Matter provides each school with a four-statement "bully promise," which the students are expected to recite every day as well as being reminded of the value by school staff.
One of the tenets is I will try to help other kids who are being bullied, which is also endorsed by the Department of Health in its anti-bullying campaign.
In the 2011-12 school year, Kidz Matter conducted a total of 32 events within its Oxnard and Ventura schools.
"We try hard to create a zero tolerance for bully behavior. Our direct goal is to have the funding and resources to be able to offer our programs to all schools in Ventura County," said Marsh.
The long-term objective for Kidz Matter is to establish an environment where the schools are eventually able to practice and reinforce the programs on their own.
"Every child deserves the dignity of going to school and not being harassed or worrying about their safety. Bullying is not acceptable," said former Rio School District Interim Superintendent Howard Hamilton.

Cardinal Gibbons AD: We changed Redskins name and so should NFL team
It might be time for Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to phone Cardinal Gibbons athletic director Mike Morrill.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday leveled the biggest blow against Snyder's refusal to change the Washington Redskins nickname with its cancellation of the team's trademark.
But way before Snyder took a staunch stance against a possible nickname change, Morrill, Gibbons' 15-year football coach, was front and center in changing the school's nickname from Redskins to Chiefs in 2006.
Unlike in Washington, where Snyder has come under fire from Native American organizations, senators and some segments of the general public, Morrill, who was assistant athletic director in 2006, said the consensus decision by the Gibbons administration came without pressure from any single entity or outside organization.
"We had discussed it for years and just thought the time was right," Morrill said. "It came down to, if we were offending anybody, or even worse a group of people, then why wouldn't we change it? The Chiefs moniker kind of struck with the mold of honoring Native Americans but not offending anybody. The kids are proud Chiefs now and love yelling it."
Morrill said giving the Gibbons student section a vote in what that new nickname would be was paramount to the transition going smoothly.
It's a far different story in Washington, where the trademark cancellation has given critics of the Redskins' moniker and its supposed racist undertones a big win in the court of public opinion.
The irony of how the NFL franchise, to this point, and Cardinal Gibbons have dealt with a Redskins moniker in polar opposite ways is not lost on Morrill. He drew a similar comparison to the controversy of flying the Confederate flag on state and government buildings.
Morrill said Snyder should adhere to the wishes of the multitude of Native American leaders voicing their objection to the Redskins moniker, including the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, which aired a riveting ad during the NBA Finals, and change the team's nickname.
"I know Dan Snyder has met with several Native American groups," Morrill said. "But it appears he is going into these meetings with a line already drawn in the sand. I hope he could get a group of people he could trust and come up with some alternative nicknames. [They can] maintain some of their past but not be offensive in any way. A new nickname is not going to erase [the team's] great history and past Super Bowls."

NFL approves $200 million loan for Falcons' new stadium
Boston, MA – NFL owners have approved a $200 million loan for the construction of a new multi-purpose building in Atlanta to become the home for the Falcons.
News of a stadium agreement between the Falcons and the city of Atlanta came in March. The team has played in the Georgia Dome since 1992.
"The NFL has supported new stadium construction through various means for decades," said Falcons owner Arthur Blank in a statement Tuesday. "Our club owners understand that investments such as G-4 financing are important to the long-term strength of the league, and we thank them for their support.
"We are pleased with the outcome of today's vote, and we look forward to continued progress in designing and constructing the new multi-purpose stadium over the next four years. We, along with our City of Atlanta and State of Georgia partners, are excited to participate in a project that will benefit the city and state for many years to come."
The Falcons are hoping to play in a new building for the start of the 2017 season.

Anyone who has a cell phone knows about dead zones: Those areas around town where you're apt to get little or no data or voice service. If those areas are near where you work or live, it can drive you nuts . . . and maybe even drive you to switch carriers.
But if you do switch, how do you know you're not going from bad to worse?
I've stumbled across a cool app that may help. RootMetrics' Coverage Map for both iPhone and Android devices shows you the signal quality for both data and voice in locations on a map. In Houston, it has reports for the four major carriers, using data generated by the app's users.
For example, AT&T users know that, when it comes to data service, the Medical Center area is a black hole, which voice service is fairly reliable. RootMetrics' app confirms this.
Because this is crowdsourced data, the quality of the report varies based on the number of reports it receives. But, in a densely populated urban area – where the natives carry smartphones and are apt to have the app – a paucity of reports can indicate an inability to connect. And if you look at the data report on the left, you'll see why the Medical Center has earned its reputation among AT&T customers. Black and red indicate poor data speed.
So how do AT&T's competitors fare in the same area? Either other carriers' users haven't found the app, or data quality is just as bad for the others. Coverage Map can generate a comparison report for both data and voice.
In areas where there are more reports, you get a better comparison. For example, either there aren't any Verizon users with the app in the Medical Center, or Verizon's voice and data service there is really, really bad.
You can contribute by running your own voice and data test with the app. You can also use it to report specific issues, such as dropped calls or slow data.
I've had occasional issues with the app crashing during the signal strength/data speed test. Usually re-running the test allows it to complete. But keep in mind that the app's own reliability can affect the number of reports generated for a carrier. If it crashes a lot, users may get frustrated and not use it or delete it.
RootMetrics is using the app to generate coverage reports for different cities. You can see the company's work so far, which doesn't yet include Houston.
If you're an Android or iPhone user, grab the app and report on your area. Let us know in the comments how your part of town does for your carrier.
Update: The app is now regularly crashing, which it had not been doing before. I've reported the problem to RootMetric, and they tell me they're investigating. It could be an issue with their servers.
Update 2.0: An employee at RootMetrics left a comment saying the crashes are indeed caused by a server issue. A fix is in the works.
Update 6.17.2011: RootMetrics has updated the iPhone version to fix a crash experienced by some users. Get the new version here.

Xfce 4.12 released
Xfce 4.12 is be the best release ever (yes, we like to party!)!
Source : Internet comments.
Today, after 2 years and 10 months of work, we are pleased to announce the release of the Xfce desktop 4.12, a new stable version that supersedes Xfce 4.10.
This long period can only be explained by how awesome Xfce 4.10 was. But as all things, it needed some refreshing - and for that we saw lots of new contributors providing valuable feedback, features and bugfixes. As always, Xfce follows its steady pace of evolution without revolution that seems to match our users' needs.
In this 4.12 cycle, we mainly focused on polishing our user experience on the desktop and window manager, and on updating some components to take advantage of newly available technologies.
The main highlights of this release are:
- The window manager gained a new themable Alt+Tab dialog with optional windows preview and a list mode. Initial Client side decoration support was implemented, window tiling mode was improved providing support for corner-tiling, and a new zooming mode was added. A HiDPI Xfwm theme was also added.
- The panel can now intelligently hide itself, supports Gtk3 plugins, and saw lots of its third-party plugins updated to take full advantage of the features added in 4.10.
- The desktop has a new wallpaper settings dialog, per workspace wallpaper support, and better multi-monitor handling. It also supports displaying folder cover art and emblems on icons now.
- Our session manager was updated to use logind and/or upower if available for hibernate/suspend support. For portability and to respect our users' choices, fallback modes were implemented relying on os-specific backends.
- Support for multi-monitor use was improved in a new display settings dialog and a quick setup popup on monitor plugging.
- The appearance dialog now showcases previews for icons and themes.
- Xfsettingsd now supports libinput.
- Power management was not forgotten: A new panel plugin was created, logind/upower support was added to handle battery/lid/brightness events, and locking via light-locker was implemented. The settings dialog was also revamped, and support for X11 screenblanking was added.
- Our file manager, the beloved Thunar, saw an insane amount of improvements: tab support, tons of bug fixes, speed-ups, key shortcuts for custom actions, better naming of file copies and links, nice freespace bar in properties, tweaks for the renamer and other dialogs, improved keyboard navigation, fixes for the treeview pane, better wallpaper support, Gtk3 bookmarks support, multiple file properties... need we say more?
- To prepare the future of Xfce with Gtk3, which no longer requires theme engines, we are stopping the development of our Gtk theme engine, and dropping our Gtk3 engine - theme makers, please update your themes to CSS if you want them to work on the next Xfce version.
- Due to gstreamer1.0 having dropped the mixer-interface entirely, and xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed relying on this interface with gstreamer0.10, our mixer application and volume daemon cannot be ported to 1.0 and are consequently not maintained anymore.
Xfce wouldn't be what it is right now without all its goodies. In this area, we also saw a flurry of activity, most notably:
- Xfburn gained BluRay Disc burning support.
- Task manager UI was totally revamped, and got ported to Gtk3.
- Parole's UI was totally redone, parts of it rewritten with many features added. Furthermore it was ported to Gtk3 and gstreamer1.0.
- Mousepad was totally rewritten and got an initial port to Gtk3.
- Imgur.com support was added to the screenshooter.
- A new GNOME-Shell-like dashboard named xfdashboard is now available.
- A new alternative menu for the panel named whiskermenu was added.
- The GNOME2 hardware monitor plugin was ported to our panel.
- Weather plugin got a totally new user interface with powerful customization options and provides tons of detailed information.
- Eyes plugin uses 3D coordinates to calculate its eye position, so even more sometimes scary, sometimes funny eyes will spy on you!
- Netload plugin works with the new udev net interface names and can be configured to show transfer rates in the panel.
- Clipboard manager plugin optionally displays a QR code.
- Cpufreq plugin now supports the intel pstate driver and can adapt better for different panel sizes and information displayed.
- Nearly all plugins have been improved to give the same look and feel and to support the new deskbar panel mode.
An online tour of the changes in Xfce 4.12 can be viewed here:
A detailed overview of the changes between Xfce 4.10 and Xfce 4.12 releases can be found on the following page:
This release can be downloaded either as a set of individual packages or as a single fat tarball including all these individual versions:
A warm thank you all the contributors, translators and packagers for your efforts in making this release possible. We would also like to thank our fantastic users and occasional contributors who submitted bug reports, helped us find issues and sometimes provided patches. We are currently reviewing all patches sent to us and will include many more fixes to Xfce in the next release. We would also like to thank the many people who donated money to our project via Bounty Source. This will help us meet and hack on Xfce in the future!
As always, we welcome everyone who would like to contribute to the development of Xfce! You can either test Xfce and report bugs, you can help us with translations and documentation, with usability and user experience by packaging Xfce into your distribution, and by submitting patches or entirely new features! You can get in touch with us on the Freenode IRC channel #xfce-dev and our mailing list.
Best regards,
The Xfce development team

Top 25 Capsules
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Cleanthony Early scored 23 points, including 12 of the 21 Wichita State scored in the second half, to help the fourth-ranked Shockers stay unbeaten with a 57-45 victory over Loyola of Chicago on Tuesday night.
Wichita State (22-0, 9-0 Missouri Valley Conference) saw a 22-point second-half lead trimmed to nine in the game's final minutes but hung on to extend school records for winning streak and start to a season. The Shockers shot 23 percent (6 of 26) in the second half.
Freshman Milton Doyle scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half for Loyola (8-13, 3-6).
The Shockers outrebounded Loyola 44-28.
Consecutive 3-pointers from Ron Baker and Early pushed Wichita State's lead to 42-20 early in the second half, but the Shockers made only two of their next 18 shots.
Doyle's three-point play with 2:27 left shaved the lead to 52-43, but four free throws by Anthony and a dunk by Darius Carter sealed the victory.
No. 7 MICHIGAN ST. 71, No. 15 IOWA 69, OT
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Keith Appling scored 16 points and Michigan State handed Iowa its first home loss of the season.
Matt Costello had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Spartans (19-2, 8-1 Big Ten), who avoided consecutive defeats despite missing injured starters Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson.
Costello's tip-in with 1:14 left gave Michigan State a 67-64 lead, and Russell Byrd's 3 with 34 seconds put Michigan State up by six.
Iowa still had a chance to force a second overtime, but Mike Gesell missed a driving layup at the buzzer.
Roy Devyn Marble had 21 points for Iowa (16-5, 5-3), which went without a field goal for the final 10 minutes of regulation and until the final seconds of the 5-minute overtime.
The Hawkeyes had a chance to win in regulation, but Marble missed a runner just before the buzzer. The Hawkeyes didn't hit a field goal from the 9:56 mark of the second half until Marble's layup with 6 seconds left in OT.
LSU 87, No. 11 KENTUCKY 82
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – Johnny O'Bryant III had 29 points and nine rebounds, and LSU led wire-to-wire.
Jordan Mickey scored 14 points and blocked five shots for LSU (13-6, 4-3 SEC), which blocked 11 shots and helped force 13 Kentucky turnovers.
Shavon Coleman added 14 points for the Tigers, who outshot the Wildcats 51 percent (32 of 63) to 44 percent (32 of 73).
James Young scored 23 points and Dakari Johnson had 15 for Kentucky (15-5, 5-2), which has lost all five of its games away from home, including two straight road games in the Southeastern Conference.
Aaron Harrison had 14 points and Alex Poythress added 10 for the Wildcats, who go right back on the road Saturday at Missouri.
No. 20 CREIGHTON 63, ST. JOHN'S 60
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Doug McDermott hit a 25-footer with 2.5 seconds left to finish his season-high 39-point night for Creighton, which squandered all of an 18-point lead.
The Red Storm had just tied the game on Rysheed Jordan's two free throws before McDermott took a pass from Jahenns Manigat on the left wing and got off his winning shot as Chris Obekpa tried to get a hand in his face. Phil Greene IV's desperation 3-point try at the buzzer didn't even touch the net.
D'Angelo Harrison scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half to lead St. John's. Obekpa and Jordan had 11 apiece and JaKarr Sampson added 10.
Winning for the 13th time in 14 games, the Bluejays (18-3, 8-1) stayed in first place in the Big East. St. John's (12-9, 2-6), playing in Omaha for the first time since 1966, had its three-game winning streak end.
Jordan made two free throws with 11.1 seconds left to set up McDermott's dramatic shot.
McDermott scored 10 points during a 17-1 spurt that bumped the Bluejays' lead to 46-28. The lead grew to 18 points before the Red Storm went on runs of 11-2 and 12-2.
McDermott finished 15 of 26 from the field, including 5 of 9 on 3s, and had six rebounds.

While a number of reports are posted from researchers testing new MS Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) drugs, there are also many interesting findings published on the mechanics of MS which are changing the way researchers think of progressive forms of the disease.
In addition, several researchers reported findings on the various symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
No doubt the most anticipated results to be discussed at ECTRMS were the initial findings of those looking into CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency).
16 studies were represented at the meeting and occupied both the poster sessions as well as platform presentations.
To say that nothing was learned from the studies presented would be over simplifying things. The contradictory nature of results, however, coupled with disagreements about imaging technologies and other evaluation criteria which lack any international standardization can be nothing but frustrating to patients awaiting the go-ahead to get tested (and possibly treated) for the condition.
Dr Paolo Zamboni, the founder of the CCSVI theory once again urged that patients NOT undergo the invasive "liberation" treatment unless they are a part of controlled clinical trials.
Risk factors were also discussed in a few new research posters.
It will take all of us a while to sift through the data presented. These studies, however, are the small to medium sized studies which spark debate within the community and new ideas within the research field. Many of these studies are in the process of obtaining new or continuing grants to further their research.
I thank the thousands of people, from around the world, who are working on our behalf and I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and having a good sift through all of this new data.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

where else will they start searching or did they have and know something that has to be helt back till they thru investingating people and places b
I sure hope they will find evidence to hang the gothic fairy by her wings. Yes, Adam , that shirt you wore maybe appropriate, vengeance is coming better hide behind that dark fairy's ass!
I think they should do Elisa the same way she did her stepdaughter. And also MAKE the biological father watch ,while they do that to her.Then do him in a battle line up and make him suffer in slow agony, And Keep him in Prison with the BIG BOY (murders) .Then report back to Elisa England Boyfriends and charge them for assault and attempt with 1st degree MURDER accessory.
How anyone can act abusive or hurt any child is ponderous to me, but to hurt a child who had bravely fought (as evidenced by her constant and lovely smile) and a child who had survived both bone and lung cancer (two of the most painful cancers you can get by the way) is just beyond my comprehension. I have no children myself, but I would have cherished a loving and darling child like Zahra. Everytime I see that video of Zahra getting her hearing aid and hearing her talk, or when I see that angelic and innoncent freckle face and that smile of hers I cry. The parents will get what they deserve don't worry, and justice will definitely be served, but I would rather see Zahra smiling again anyday, and living somewhere safe, loving and happy, which she so richly deserved. God Bless you Zahra, your memory and your smile runs deep into the hearts of so many, and I know you are in a happier and more peaceful place now, far away from your sub human and incredibly evil parents. At least they cannot hurt you anymore, and I am so sorry that you have to go thru all that pain and heart ache at such a young and tender age. Whenever I think of you I will always remember your beautiful smile Zahra, because I just can't bring myself to think of the way that you were treated so terribly near the end of your short life. Rest in peace angel.
Thanks for keeping up on the updates here. This is about the only place I can find that is still following Zahra. I hope and pray that she gets the justice that she deserves, whatever really happened to her.
You know, I had a thought that might explain why Adam Baker didn't know what was going on with his daughter for several days. He might be telling the truth.
Elisa Baker made a statement around Jan 5 that Zahra was sick for a couple of weeks and then suddenly died. She said that Adam panicked and cut her up and all that.
However, knowing that Adam seems to be pretty dull, I think Elisa may have been pulling the wool over his eyes and she told him that Zahra was sick and was quarantining her to help her get better. If he was working as much as he claims, he would have left early and came home late and she would be supposedly resting/sleeping to get better. So he would have popped his head in the door to check on her, and then close it again because he didn't want her to get any sicker. After a little time had passed, Elisa came up with the phony kidnapping scheme because she knew her deception could only go so far and Adam is just a victim in all of this.
I know, hard to believe, but I really do think it is a possible scenario. I think Adam is probably ashamed about his ignorance in all of this and not having health care for her, etc. and his sketchy 911 call may have been influenced by what he thought Elisa's reaction would be to whatever he said, and so he tripped over himself a few times in the process.
If Adam is innocent, and he was just trying to be a good dad and provide for his family, while maybe he is guilty of some neglect, he has been robbed of his daughter and betrayed by his "wife" who is apparently a real black widow.
Adam Baker is a Drughead and a lier and he knows everything that has happened to his own child. He helped do this crime and helped cover it up. A.B. is just as guilty as Elisa and the law is letting him walk, I would be scared to live next door, down the street, around the corner, or in the same town as this idiot.If he is your idol then you just have not read the facts of the case.....
WHO EVER IS GUILTY ! and there is more than one ,should speak out tell the truth ,there punishment will be what they know they deserve ,for they know that Zahra is in safe arms with God who loves her so much and keeping her safe from them, she can have all that they never gave her , she has everything ,they have nothing! bless to you lord for letting Zahra come to you to be safe and secure ,thanks
please let all guilty rise and speak, the time for there punishment will be more than they can expect, rest in peace, you are safe now, lord bless you, thank you lord for giving her trust and safety, she is finally loved, what is gonna happen to the guilty ones so can we rest in peace and find her head and all thats missing of her body parts, give the verdict soon, we know you will, as its not happening in court, thanks
After watching this April 7th video of Elisa Baker in court, I can see that she is like a terrified animal in a cage. I think her dream world and reality are colliding now.
Why are they splitting hairs over an exact cause of death? It's clear from the info given by the coroner's office that Zahra was apparently murdered. She's gone now. What matters is that she gets justice for what has happened to her.
Here is an elegy that I wrote for Zahra on 2/22/2011:
They took your bright smile
Cut you up and spread you across the miles
All alone, you could do nothing except succumb
To the horrible fate suffered by some
A precious life taken so prematurely
A source of inspiration you were surely
Thankful for each day with a smile
You didn't deserve such a trial
Daddy made a mistake and brought you here
To the place where many now have shed a tear
Because you are gone now
Many can only just ask why and how
Could have such a thing happened to you
I can't believe it, too
But you are gone from this world now.
Those who were supposed to protect you failed
And evil intentions instead were unveiled
Contemplated until they were made a reality
And you became the victim of utter brutality
May your life be remembered as one who fought with courage
Who bravely beat the odds and dealt with the pain
With a hope that tomorrow will be a better day than was yesterday
While some of us ask why did you have to go that way
One thing is for sure - You are in His loving arms now
And no one can hurt you anymore
In this I find consolation, though it is still hard
I must press on and hope my prayers are heard
That justice for what has happened to you must be served
God, please let there be real justice for Zahra Claire Baker
She did not deserve such a fate.
Paul, that is beautiful, many people feel the same way, and your words speak for them. Im sure of it.
Thanks Lee. It's the first one of those I have ever wrote.
And thanks to the people keeping up on this page!
Progress on this case is going agonizingly slow
It seems like it's been awhile since this case was mentioned on Nancy Grace's show. I've been wondering what has been happening with the investigation. I'm sure that this will be the next big televised court hearing.
Thank you for keeping track of this story until the end. I'm happy that there has been some kind of justice for Zahra, although it's not what I think Elisa Baker really deserves, at least it's something.
Zahra has touched my life, I will not forget her.
Happy Belated Birthday Zahra. I know you are in a better place now and I can take some consolation in that at least.
Thank you for keeping up this page, I didn't know about some of these new developments.
I am deeply sadden about Zahra. I know she is in a better place. I love this child and I didn't even know her. I will never forget her and her sweet smile in a photo on the news. I hope her father and that monster they called stepmother burn In HELL. Zahra rest in peace.

I had a craving for ginger + chocolate, so I decided to try this recipe for ginger chocolate chip cookies. I more or less followed the recipe exactly, except I used diced crystallized ginger instead of ginger chips, and I substituted 1/3 cup spelt flour for 1/3 cup of the all-purpose flour. Also, I decided to live dangerously and not grease the (nonstick) baking sheet, and it turned out fine.
When I read the recipe, I wondered whether little bits of ginger would give the entire cookie a ginger flavor, or whether it would only be noticeable when I bit into a piece of ginger (sort of like biting into a raisin in an oatmeal raisin cookie). Happily, the ginger flavor does permeate the entire cookie, and is punctuated when biting into an actual piece of ginger.
The only thing I would do differently when making these cookies in the future is doubling the recipe. I made my cookies a little bit bigger than the ones contemplated in the recipe, so I wound up with about 28 cookies instead of 36.

Fox Uses 1995 Video To Stoke Obama Gun Fears
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
Fox figures used part of a 1995 speech by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to press the conservative narrative that the administration plans to launch an assault on gun owners and the Second Amendment. In fact, in that 1995 speech, Holder addressed efforts to teach young residents of the District of Columbia that it was "not hip to carry a gun anymore." At that time, Holder was serving as the District's U.S. Attorney and it was then illegal to own a handgun in the city.
On Thursday's edition of The Five, the co-hosts discussed a series of meetings Vice President Joe Biden is holding with gun owners' groups, including the National Rifle Association, as part of the White House's review of gun laws. During the discussion, co-host Andrea Tantaros introduced Holder's 1995 comments as "the reason why, I think, people are slightly nervous."
After playing video of Holder's speech, Tantaros said to co-host Eric Bolling, "He's saying that smoking used to be cool. But when was it ever cool to commit a crime or to shoot somebody?" Bolling responded by saying that Holder's speech was an example of the Obama administration "mentality" of "brainwash[ing] the people who don't agree with what our administration stands for."
Likewise on his radio show, Fox News host Sean Hannity cited Holder's speech as proof of the administration's "anti-gun" values, claiming that "they're now advocating brainwashing to get their way." He went on to accuse the administration of "forcible indoctrination" and "persuasion by propaganda," adding: "We have to deal with a liberated, more radical, the real Obama, ambitious Obama, and he meant it when he said he wanted to transform America. That's why we have got to save America."
On Special Report, anchor Bret Baier introduced Holder's comments by saying that Holder "has been an advocate of doing something on guns for a long time." After playing a video of Holder's speech, Baier said that Holder "went on to say that we should start to, quote, brainwash people about guns," and speculated that Holder's statements indicate that the administration "wants to go beyond magazines or what they're talking about with these regulations." Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano responded that he fears the administration will "diminish the right to bear arms."
In fact, when Holder gave the speech in 1995, it was illegal to possess a handgun in the District of Columbia. In advocating efforts to teach young people that "it's not hip to carry a gun anymore," Holder, who was the city's chief prosecutor, was basically advocating for a campaign to encourage citizens of his jurisdiction not to break the law.
None of the Fox personalities hyping the tape mentioned this fact however.
As Holder pointed out at the beginning of his speech, the office of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia is "charged with the responsibility of enforcing not only federal law, as all U.S. Attorneys Offices are in the country," but also "enforcing the local law here in the District of Columbia." He explained: "I am in essence the D.A. [district attorney] as well as the United States Attorney."
For that reason, Holder was responsible for enforcing the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975, the statute that banned the possession of handguns in the District. (In 2008, the Supreme Court overturned D.C.'s handgun ban.) As the one responsible for prosecutions under that law, he was simply supporting efforts to encourage District residents not to break it.
That none of these Fox figures acknowledged that guns were illegal in D.C. in 1995 and that Holder was U.S. Attorney for the District when he made those comments is hardly surprising, as Fox figures have been aggressively stoking fears about President Obama's gun policies.

07/20/13 – Vachel ChokedJuly 20th, 2013 |
One of the most striking images from my childhood was when my brother and cousin and I were in a canoe, about thirty feet from the dock where our parents stood with our family dog, and we pulled in the paddles and jokingly started yelling help.
Wiggles, our family dog, god bless his little heart, jumped in, swam to us, grabbed a rope which hung from the front of the canoe with his teeth, and started swimming back, pulling us to shore.
I have never, ever liked making a joke and having someone feel hurt or embarrassed because they didn't realize I was joking.
Of course in this strip, I took that fuel, and turned it on its head. :)
