Work on the cycle of six one-act plays is now in progress, but students desiring to be appointed to the stagecraft committees can still do so by seeing Benjamin Marshal), j stagecraft manager, this Week. (An Editorial) Lack of a sensational news story that will carry a banner headline cm the early morning editions is no worry to metropolitan newspapers on weekends such as the approaching one, when collegians travel hundreds of miles to attend a big game. Editors on the downtown sheets can be almost positive that they will be able to run a streamer line on their Saturday papers that will read something like this: THREE COLLEGE STUDENTS KILLED ON WAY TO NORTHERN GRID GAME U.S.C. Rooters Die When Cars Collide In Head-On Crash Some kind of catastrophe has occurred on every big game exodus during past years. U.C.L.A. as well as U. S.C. has mourned the death of one of its students more than once when the "gang" has returned from a weekend at Stanford or Berkeley. Troy's 1936 trip to Stanford was marred by only one accident, however. Three Trojan men were fortunate to escape alive in a head-on collision with a speeding car. Police records showed that the blame for the accident could not be laid on the Trojans. College students are young, and young persons are by nature more carefree than their elders, particularly when imbued with football fervor. A carefree spirit, nevertheless, is not of necessity accompanied by a spirit of recklessness. Every U.S.C. rooter who attends the California football game can return to campus Monday morning without having experienced injury of any kind if he will merely think and act sanely. Why not make this a wreck-less weekend, not a j reckless one? —R.L.B. 1 Mussolini Agrees To Withdraw Fascist Volunteers LONDON, Oct. 20—< l'.P)—-Premier Benito Mussolini, running up against a dangerous Franco-British threat, suddenly dropped his defiant attitude tonight and agreed to collaborate in a plan to withdraw his fascist black shirts and other foreign "volunteers" from Spain. II Duce's conciliatory gesture, which came as a surprise even to Italian diplomats in Rome, held out hopes of solving a three-way deadlock within the non-intervention committee and averting a crisis crammed with possibilities of war. PROGRESS MADE The non-intervention delegates, quick to seize upon Italy's consent to sending a neutral "volunteers" commission to Spain at once, agreed that it constituted "a substantial ■ degree of progress" and asked that immediate steps be taken to put the proposals into operation. Italy and Germany announced that they had withdrawn their objections to Franco-British proposals whereby belligerent rights will be withheld from both Spanish factions until "token" withdrawals of volunteers have been carried out. Until today, the Rome-Berlin axis demanded simultaneous recognition of belligerency. IL DUCE STYMIED Statesmen believed that Mussolini, unable to budge Britain and France from their demands that he clear out of Spain, had come to the conclusion that he could count on no further capitulations to his policy. The new' Italian proposal provided: 1- Immediate dispatch of a commission to Spain to estimate the numbers of volunteers in both the Insurgent and Loyalist ranks, and finding the most feasible means of withdrawing them. 2. Studies by the commission to determine the best method of granting belligerency rights to the Spanish factions. 3. An immediate and equal "token" Withdrawal of volunteers from both sides without waiting for the commission's report. Motorcade To Give Team Big Send-off ON TO CAL!'

Diagnosis and Prognosis of Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer

The diagnosis and prognosis of uterine cancer includes the following:
- ]]>Review of medical history]]>
- ]]>Physical exam]]>
- ]]>Diagnostic testing]]>
- ]]>Cytology]]>
- ]]>Staging]]>
- ]]>Prognosis]]>
Review of Medical History
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. The most common initial symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal bleeding from the uterus. After menopause, any woman who has bleeding from the vagina should be evaluated for the possibility of uterine cancer. The doctor will inquire about your reproductive history, including the age when you started menstruating, pregnancies, if you are menopausal, and your age at menopause. These factors may provide clues about your exposure to estrogen, a known risk factor for uterine cancer. The doctor may also ask if there is a family history of cancer and what medications you take. The doctor also will likely ask about the following medical conditions linked to an increased risk of the disease:
- Diabetes mellitus]]>
- ]]>Obesity]]>
- ]]>Hypertension]]>
- Problems with menstrual cycles
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer
- ]]>Breast cancer]]> and tamoxifen use
- ]]>Polycystic ovary syndrome]]>
- Granulose-theca cell tumors of the ovary
- ]]>Radiation therapy]]> to the pelvic area
- Menopausal use of estrogen without progesterone
Physical Exam
The doctor will perform a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. This test is performed in a doctor's office. You will change into a dressing gown and lie back on the examination table. There will be stirrups at the end of the table where you can rest your feet. As part of the pelvic exam, your external genitalia will be examined for signs of infection or redness. Next, the doctor will slide a speculum into your vagina. This allows the area to be opened slightly. This should not hurt or pinch, but may be uncomfortable. After the doctor is done, the speculum will be removed. The doctor will then place two gloved fingers into your vagina while pressing on your lower abdomen. This identifies the size, shape, and position of your uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The doctor may then place one finger in your vagina and one finger in your rectum to examine the tissues separating those organs.
You should not feel pain during the exam, but you may feel slight pressure. If you are experiencing pain, tell your doctor. You may have a trace of vaginal bleeding afterwards.
Diagnostic Testing
Endometrial biopsy]]>—During a pelvic exam at the doctor's office, the doctor will remove a tissue sample from the lining of the uterus. Often, an instrument called a tenaculum is used to grasp the cervix. A flexible, thin, suction instrument is passed through the vagina and inserted into the uterus. Using this biopsy tool, the doctor removes a small sample of endometrial tissue.
This specimen will be sent to the lab where a pathologist will examine it for cancer cells. Most patients report some cramping, pain, tugging, and/or pressure during the biopsy.
]]>Dilation and curettage (D & C)]]>—This is a more thorough surgical procedure, which is often used to obtain a more extensive sample of tissue from the uterine lining. The doctor inserts a series of dilators, each tool slightly thicker than the next, into the vagina to gradually open the tightly contracted cervical muscles and increase the size of the opening to the uterus. A scoop-shaped instrument, called a curette, is inserted and used to scrape the uterine lining and remove tissue through the vagina.
]]>Hysteroscopy]]>—This is a surgical procedure that may be performed in conjunction with a D & C. This procedure allows the doctor to view the inside of the uterus through lens and a camera.
Ultrasonography—This is a method of taking pictures of the inside of the body using echoes from sound waves to create an image. It is frequently used in the initial evaluation of suspected uterine cancer. Transvaginal ultrasonography is performed by placing a probe in the vagina to take pictures of the uterus. Abnormal thickening of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) may be a sign of uterine cancer and is usually further evaluated with a ]]>biopsy]]> .
Cytology is the study of cells. The cytology of cancer cells differs significantly from normal cells, and physicians use the unique cellular features seen on biopsy samples to determine the diagnosis and assess the prognosis of a cancer.
If cancer is found, the pathologist will examine the cancer cells to determine the type and grade of the cancer. In cancer, the term grade refers to the pattern of growth of the cells and the appearance of the individual cells as they are seen under a microscope. Low grade tumors appear more similar to normal uterine tissue. The less the cells resemble normal uterine tissue, the higher the grade the tumor is assigned.
In general, the lower the tumor grade, the better the prognosis. Tumor type is also important. The most common type of uterine cancer is endometrioid adenocarcinoma. About 5% to 10% of uterine cancers are clear cell or serous carcinomas, which are more aggressive. Tests also may be conducted to check for the presence of progesterone (a female hormone) receptor cells. Endometrial cancers with progesterone receptor cells grow and spread more slowly than cancers without the receptors.
Staging is the process by which physicians determine the prognosis of a cancer that has already been diagnosed. Staging is essential for making treatment decisions (eg, surgery vs. chemotherapy]]> ). Several features of the cancer are used to arrive at a staging classification, the most common being the size of the original tumor, extent of local invasion, and spread to distant sites (metastasis). Low staging classifications (0-1) imply a favorable prognosis, whereas high staging classifications imply an unfavorable prognosis.
Staging for uterine cancer is usually performed at the time of treatment, for example, during a ]]>hysterectomy]]> to remove the uterus. Imaging studies, such as ]]>CT scans]]> , may be used to help determine if the cancer has spread
Stage I—Cancer is limited to the uterus; it has not spread to the cervix. This stage is divided into IA, IB, and IC, depending on how far the disease has spread into the muscles of the uterus.
Stage II—The cancer has spread to the cervix but not beyond the cervix. Stage II is divided into IIA and IIB, depending on how far the disease has spread into the cervix.
Stage III—The cancer has spread beyond the uterus and cervix into the pelvis, but not beyond the pelvis. This stage is divided into three substages:
- IIIA—The cancer has spread to connective tissue around the uterus, ovaries or fallopian tubes, or there are cancer cells in the fluid in the pelvic cavity.
- IIIB—The cancer has spread to the vagina.
- IIIC—The cancer has spread to lymph nodes near the uterus (in the pelvis or around the aorta).
Stage IV— the cancer has spread beyond the pelvis. This stage is subdivided into two stages:
- IVA—The cancer has spread to the surface of the inner lining of the bladder or rectum.
- IVB—The cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen (other than in the groin or around the aorta) or distant organs.
Recurrent uterine cancer refers to cancer that has come back after treatment.
Prognosis is a forecast of the probable course and/or outcome of a disease or condition. Prognosis is most often expressed as the percentage of patients who are expected to survive over five or ten years. Cancer prognosis is a notoriously inexact process. This is because the predictions are based on the experience of large groups of patients suffering from cancers at various stages. Using this information to predict the future of an individual patient is always imperfect and often flawed, but it is the only method available.
Five-year survival rates for uterine cancer are:
Stage I: 90%
Stage II: 70%-85%
Stage III: 50%
Stage IV: 10%-30%

Much has been written about the short "special" session last week that followed the adjournment of our regular 120-day session. The centerpiece of the governor's call of the special session, the civil unions bill, failed to pass despite appearing to have sufficient votes overall that would have passed the bill. In this case, procedural moves trumped the number of yes votes, which is unfortunate and many people have told me so.
The bill was about civil unions, not gay marriage, despite the rhetoric surrounding it. More disturbing than the bill's demise for policy reasons, though, was the manner in which it went down.
As a big fan of a fair and open process of debate and voting, I find procedural shortcuts on any policy matter to get to a politician's desired result repugnant. But, that's how things go sometimes. I've been to the Senate Democrats' version of the "kill committee" enough to say that leadership on both sides of the aisle take advantage of the procedural rules to get to the results they want. Not pretty, but that's the process we have.
Another bill that failed for a second time to pass this year involved public safety and marijuana use by drivers. This topic will also have to wait for another year to be considered again. There were other bills considered which did pass, including the funding of water projects legislation.
After the special session ended, I attended meetings in Denver of the National Conference of State Legislatures' Executive Committee. I was elected to NCSL's Executive Committee last summer and the Conference's membership includes all state legislators nationwide. The NCSL task force on federal deficit reduction also met during this time and I remain very concerned about Congress' inability or unwillingness or both to act on the federal deficit.
Sequestration will be triggered at the end of this year, which, in theory, will force cuts on national discretionary spending, except for Medicaid and the military. The amount of cuts is inadequate to deal with our national deficit, but it's a token gesture by Congress to do something.
However, we learned at the Denver meeting that no one in Washington, D.C., truly expects sequestration to take place as scheduled due to its political unpopularity, and sequestration will most likely be delayed. One of the speakers to our task force said that it's no longer a can that Congress's kicking down the road; now it's a 55 gallon drum. Yikes.
Through the task force, NCSL previously sent word to D.C. that the states support an effort to "go big" in addressing the national deficit, even knowing we will be challenged to meet the consequences of losing federal funding in many areas. Those of us on the task force firmly believe we can not continue procrastinating on this very big problem and we don't want to move into the even worse economic situation that Europe is now facing.
My work for the interim is cut out for me on this topic as well as assessing the impact on Colorado of the U.S. Supreme Court decision on the health reform act, due out in late June. I'll also be attending meetings around the district, working on constituent issues and finding time to relax and enjoy all that Southwest Colorado has to offer.

Popular Unrest (2010) - Melanie Gilligan
This past Migrating Forms festival opened with a screening of Melanie Gilligan's feature-length film Popular Unrest, which is also available as five episodes on Gilligan's website. Set in a fictional future London, not unlike the present, Popular Unrest seizes upon the modern preoccupation with systems, data, and constant technological improvement. The story revolves around the influence of the "World Spirit," a technological system that controls all transactions and social interactions with the aim of boosting productivity and increasing profitability. The world of the Spirit is a rational existence where everything is monitored, quantified, and rationally controlled.
At the film's opening a mysterious disembodied knife brutally commits murder, while the 24 hour media cycle, punctuated by television advertisements for the spirit drones on in the background. Equally mysterious as the violent murders, people around the world are being inexplicably drawn together into what have been termed "groupings." The plot of Popular Unrest centers on one such grouping, comprised of twelve individuals, from diverse backgrounds with nothing in common other than their overwhelming desire to come together. While the closeness the group feels towards each other is inconceivable in the rational terms of system transactions that govern their reality, they find comfort in their connection.
When a group of scientists approach them to conduct a study of their group and hopefully provide a scientific explanation for the phenomenon, they agree to participate. The biological causes of their behavior and the dehumanized and technological control of the spirit that approaches the world in terms of data and profit margins are pitted against the humanity of the grouping and the irrationality of life. They are, as the scientists tell them, like a snapshot taken by the system, a frozen moment of social exchange. They represent the Spirit's reflexivity.
Ultimately, however, Gilligan is uncertain in the power of our humanity to resist the faith, comfort and often overwhelming power we invest in the quantifiable, data driven systems we ourselves have created.

Track One (2011)- eteam
Lets turn into a narrow street where it's dark and less busy. I can't catch it when the sun is shining. We need grey days for this. Here it comes, all by itself. Small, bigger, bigger, whoosh, smaller, smaller. Nice! Now some stillness. I double behind your shoulder. Me, the rear view mirror. Objects are gone before they appear. Small, big, bigger, whoosh, vanished. Keep going now. We'll run into it again by coincidence. Waiting makes no sense. Remember the sign? "no relax no easy". I count until twenty. No. No. No. No. No. Yes. OK. Replay. The object is replaced by the object that was removed. Cherry Crap. The bus drove in. How absurd. Where is that bus coming from?
eteam's Track One, screened at the Migrating Forms festival last month, is now available online. eteam, a collaboration between Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger often explore the tension and developing relationship between the real world and the virtual world. In 2008 they received a Rhizome Commission for Second Life Dumpster, a project that highlights the levels of consumption and disposal in the virtual world. The pair constructed an evolving virtual garbage dump, a repository for deleted objects tagged with a custom decay script written by the artists. In Track One, weaving together various global locations, they similarly assemble real and virtual properties to create an amalgamation of the physical and virtual worlds.

In my earlier sculpture and installation work, I used found and fabricated elements–barriers, detectors, and security devices. I was interested in the technology of deterrence and passage, movement and restraint as well as crowd control and traffic flow. This is what I was thinking about with the work involving bullet-proof barriers and waiting line stanchions.
One of the things I wanted to do with these sculptures and installations was to call into question notions of safety, security, protection and vulnerability, and to confuse the sense of inside and outside. While I always liked producing slick and seductive objects, in some sense I was more interested on their effects, both physically and psychologically, on the space around them. This charged mental space is already, in a sense, virtual, so working with 3-D software (at first just to arrange and visualize installations) seemed a great way to explore these ideas.
Narrative and cinematic movement were always important to me, and the first 3-D works I did were in fact animation loops that were output to video. Nevertheless I quickly became fascinated and obsessed by the great detail possible in still images. The sense of imminence and the implication of the covert, of a beyond just out of reach, is of central importance to me. This is what leads me to say that the spaces I depict are in a way haunted. I do love the almost cheap or tongue-in-cheek sense of mystery involved, but the emptiness of the images speaks to a sense of absence and loss that works on many different levels, and I think loss is very important to technology in general.
Although they are often seen ...

Wannstedt said he coached a pair of NFL players who underwent similar surgery and they were back in the lineup in "four to six weeks."
Asked whether he expects Romeus back in time for the regular season or a bowl game, the Pitt coach said, "Regular season."
"I have been involved with players, in fact all defensive linemen, who have had surgery and have gotten back and finished out the season," he said. "They were (out) four to six weeks."
Added Wannstedt, "The plan is it's not a season-ending surgery. How many games he will get back for, we will just have to take that week to week. But I am very confident when Greg gets back, he will be playing at a high level and finish up a great senior year."

Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption, a nw game from the team behind Quest for Glory, has successfully met its Kickstarter funding goal.
The campaign launched in October requesting $400,000, and was funded with just a few hours to spare after a very hairy final week in which many fans feared a disappointment.
According to a recent project's website. Donations and orders placed in the next few months will count towards stretch goals and offer rewards, but after that any money sent will be accepted as a standard pre-order.
All rewards are detailed at the link above, but here are the current stretch goals:
- 500,000 – You can have a pet Meep (Well, Shawn can, anyway)
- $600,000 – Voice Acting

Wayland Prof Pens Piece
PLAINVIEW - After being tucked away for more than 20 years, "A Espana" finally made its successful debut before a captivated Spanish crowd. The piece was performed by a group of Wayland Baptist University students who participated in a mission trip to Spain in May. The work, composed by Wayland Assistant Professor of Piano Dr. Gary Belshaw, was designed to implement scripture readings with music for both band and choir.
It was the crowning achievement of the group's two main concerts while spending a week in Valencia, Madrid and the surrounding areas of Spain.
"I originally wrote it in 1981 in English," Belshaw said of the first piece. "I rearranged it for our group to sing in Spanish."
The composition was made up of three movements which took about 15 minutes to perform. After dusting off the original piece, Belshaw added two other pieces which were designed specifically for the members of the group traveling to Spain so the group would be able to perform some music in Spain's native tongue.
"For some reason, we didn't have anything in Spanish in our repertoire," he said.
Belshaw, who received his doctorate from Texas Tech University, said it took about a month to complete the work, "stealing time from other activities." Not knowing any Spanish, he used a Spanish version of The New American Standard Bible, translated from original manuscripts, and his parallel Bible to set the scriptures he wanted to use to music. Belshaw begins with the first chapter of John ("In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God") and from there moves through scriptures that focus on the importance of God's promises to mankind.
Being able to perform a piece written specifically for the trip was special, especially for Belshaw who wasn't sure how anyone would react.
"Even the students and faculty were more receptive than I thought," he said. "They liked doing something original."
While the piece made its debut in Spain, Belshaw said it is far from finished. Even the title isn't set in stone. In Spanish, there are two words meaning "for." Belshaw said the translator changed the name of the piece from "A Espana" to "Para Espana."
"I'm thinking about changing it to 'Whenever I go to Spain,' or 'Songs for Spain,'" Belshaw said.
When completed, the composition will contain "a dozen or two dozen pieces," Belshaw said. "We would like to think we are going to go back and it would be fun to take a larger ensemble to play the whole piece in concert."

Libya will soon suffer the fate of Iraq. According to the World Food Program, a United Nations outfit, the north African country will soon experience a food crisis. In a statement, the organization said the engineered armed conflict in the country is seriously undermining the supply and distribution of perishable goods.
In 2003, the same thing happened in Iraq after the United States invaded to save the world from WMDs that did not exist, that were invented by a cabal of neocons ensconced in the Pentagon.
On March 20, 2003, the BBC reported that the country faced "the largest and most costly humanitarian crisis in history" following the U.S. invasion and the collapse of the oil-for-food program and the departure of U.N. personnel.
Iraq was dependent on globalist hand-outs after more than a decade of medieval sanctions. 500,000 children died as a result. Former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said the engineered murder of a half million innocents was a price worth paying. Children of nations declared to be "rogue" by banksters are always the first to suffer and die.
Actually, according to UNICEF, 1,211,285 children died of embargo-related causes between August 1990 and August 1997, a number that reminds one of the toll inflicted on Cambodia by Pol Pot, a CIA asset who was allowed to conduct genocide after Kissinger and Nixon killed around 600,000 civilians and paved the way for Pol Pot's slaughter of from 1.4 to 2.2 million out of a population of around 7 million.
Before George Bush the Elder invaded Iraq under the false pretense of protecting the former Iraqi province of Kuwait – before the Brits took over, Kuwait was the Ottoman Empire province of Basra – Iraq enjoyed 92 percent access to clean water, 93 percent access to high quality health care and high educational and nutritional standards. It was the envy of the Arab world, despite the rule of the CIA-trained thug Saddam Hussein.
Now 55 percent have no clean drinking water and 80 percent are not connected to the sewage system. Prior to Bush's invasion to save the slant drilling monarchy in Kuwait from Saddam Hussein, illiteracy in Iraq had been all but eliminated. Now the illiteracy rate has increased to over 25 percent. In some parts of the country, it stands at 40-50 percent among women, according to the NGO Save the Children.
Now the elite are doing the same thing to Libya, a country with the highest living standard in Africa. The country ranks 53rd on the HDI index, better than all other African countries and also better than Saudi Arabia. Libya has the highest GDP at purchasing power parity per capita of all of Africa. The country has a lower percentage of people living below the poverty line than in the Netherlands.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Libya is now in the process of being decimated by Obama, Sarkozy, NATO, the United Nations and a cobbled together globalist coalition of the willing. A relatively well-off Arab country cannot be allowed to remain outside the clutches of international finance. It must be under the iron-fisted rule of a thug who takes orders from Wall Street and international finance. The Libyan people must be on the edge of starvation and under constant threat of bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A, typhoid fever, and other preventable diseases like Iraq now is. Waterborne disease has been off the charts since the Pentagon targeted the country's water supply system during the 1991 Gulf War.
Gaddafi is no doubt a dictator, but he is no better or worse than any number of other dictators, including Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. In fact, prior to the engineered conflict to take out Gaddafi, the United Nations praised Libya's human rights record. "In the course of preparation for war, the country was suddenly transformed into the most evil dictatorship. Even many war opponents accepted this characterization as their own," writes John Catalinotto.
The World Food Program says current food stocks in Libya may last only 45 to 60 days after which many people will be forced to cut back on meals. Daly Belgasmi of the WFP told reporters in Geneva that Libya's private economy has been hit by the exodus of foreigners who worked in food production such as bakeries.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (Ad)
Because Gaddafi demanded higher prices for oil and a larger percentage of profit from revenues usually siphoned off by transnational oil corporations, he was marked for removal, possibly assassination. As recently as 2009, Gaddafi threatened to nationalize Libya's oil.
The war against Gaddafi, of course, has nothing to do with human rights, a humanitarian crisis, or democracy. It is not even specifically about oil.
It is about the dollar and its status as a reserve currency. "The fiat US dollar only survives as the world's reserve currency because the majority of the oil producers demand payment in dollars," writes Ron Holland.
"Remember, it's all about the dollar being maintained for a while longer as the world reserve currency and oil resources. The establishment of democratic forms of government or whether the people will have a decision over their future in the area is immaterial to the survival of the status quo in Washington and the region."
Alex Jones and Midas Resources has come together to offer you three of the most hard hitting videos ever produced: End Game, Obama Deception, and Fall of the Republic.

So, what do we got? We got the consumer not earning as much as we thought, spending dropping, inflation picking up...
How is this going to lead to this big surge in the second quarter GDP?
Seventy percent of the GDP number is consumer spending and consumers spent less in the first month of spring than they did in the last month of winter? Where is the bounce back?

Illini now ranked No. 10!
By Jeff Mayfield
Send a link to a friend
[December 12, 2012]
My son used to love to watch the
animated film classic "Chicken Little." If you don't know the story,
Chicken Little is beaned by a chunk of the sky, although we later
find out that it's actually a sophisticated heat shield from an
alien spaceship. At any rate, you may remember that Chicken Little
tries to sound the alarm that the sky is falling but is knocked
cuckoo by the chunk and can't speak in discernible sentences. All of
that leads to the village believing that Little has just been crying
wolf, and he becomes irrelevant, even ignored, for most of the rest
of the story.
First of all, he played for one
of my friends, Paul Patterson up at Taylor University in beautiful
downtown Upland, Ind. If you haven't been to Upland, well, you
haven't been anywhere! Coach Groce understands Christian college
basketball. So, as a former player and head coach at Lincoln
Christian University (it was Lincoln Christian College when I was
there), I should've been ecstatic when they hired a "brother" to
coach the Illini ... but I wasn't (we also have some faith and
church similarities, but I'll save them for another day ...).
Coach Groce also toiled as an assistant coach for many years. As
a former assistant coach at times throughout my career, I should've
welcomed a coach with his pedigree instantly ... but I didn't. He
also spent time as a head coach. He took a small mid-major from the
Mid-American Conference, Ohio University, all the way to the Sweet
16 last season. I should've been so excited to get an up-and-coming
coach like him ... but, I wasn't. He had spent time working with one
of the best Big 10 programs in the last two to three decades as he
worked for Thad Matta at Ohio State. I should've been doing back
flips and cartwheels when I found out we landed him ... but, I
I wanted an older, seasoned coach. I wanted a coach with tons of
experience. I wanted a coach who had gotten his teams to the Final
Four and maybe won one. I know those coaches are rare. I know they
are few and far between. I know they are not cheap. In fact, I know
that they cost a bundle, but your point is??? And that's all I
wanted ( ... and this lamp, that paddle ball and that remote control
So, basically, over my objections and over my almost dead body,
the university decided to go against my wishes in bringing in John
Groce. I don't know whether it will turn out to be a brilliant
decision or not. It sure looks like a heckuva good choice right
about now, doesn't it? Did I mention that the newest polls just came
out Monday afternoon? Did I mention that Illinois is now ranked No.
10 in the nation?
[to top of second column]
Can I say it? The sky is falling ... the sky is falling ... the
sky is falling! Just by even typing in these words I feel like a
chunk of the sky must've landed on my head. And now I'm trying to
tell you wonderful LDN Illini fans that your beloved Fighting Illini
are ranked in the top 10 in the country? Please don't call the men
in white lab coats ... please don't have them haul me away ...
please don't let them put me in a straightjacket... It's true --
we're 10-0!
I also didn't like the fact that the agreement we signed with
Gonzaga a few years ago included us playing them at their place (The
Kennel, where the Zags were 110-7 going into the game with Illinois
last Saturday night). I didn't like the matchup at all. That place
is a circus, a carnival and a Mardi Gras all going on at once. IF
you can survive all of that before the game even tips, you get to
withstand their bombardment of 3-point specialists and a covey of
7-foot-tall, beefy, stout and rugged big men. To me, that spelled
like a recipe for disaster just waiting to happen.
I did feel like Coach Groce had improved our Illini somewhat
going into the contest, but I also felt like there was so much more
work to be done before we played a team like Gonzaga. In fact, I
thought it might take most of this year and part of next to get this
team back to where it needs to be. Maybe we're a bit ahead of
schedule. Maybe we're just on a roll. Maybe we'll have some ups and
downs this season. Maybe we'll take our lumps.
But right now I'm running through the parking lot without my coat
on because I just found out that Coach Groce has our Illini ranked
No. 10 in both polls! "You can dance if you want to!" I know I am.
The sky is falling ... the sky is falling ... the sky is falling,
but all I know is that the Illini are ranked in the top 10 in the
country. Go crazy, folks -- go crazy... and GO, ILLINI!!!
(Illinois beat Norfolk State 64-54 Tuesday night and upped their
record to 11-0. No report is available as LDN staffers are unable to
attend games this week.)

Tech, social media employers offer perks aplenty
Bay Area tech and social media companies are engaged in an arms race to see who can offer the most - and most unusual - benefits to employees.
While most Americans would be happy to get a job with health coverage, tech workers are being wooed with napping stations, unlimited vacation, free housekeeping and errand-running, yoga classes, on-site doctors and masseuses, and gourmet cafeterias.
Tech companies "don't want to hear about health care, 401(k), life insurance. Those are commodity benefits," says Vincent Antonelli, a senior benefits consultant with Towers Watson.
Social Print Studio of San Francisco is a good example of the modern startup. Along with health care, but no 401(k) yet, it offers unlimited vacation, napping boxes, and a fully equipped jam room where its 20 employees and their friends can record a song or video. There is a wall of exotic taxidermy animals; employees are encouraged, but not required, to choose one that best represents their spirit.
The company, which lets customers print photos off Facebook, Instagram and other social media, once brought in classical musicians to serenade the staff. Another time, it filled a bathtub with beer. Co-founder George Sylvain calls the 6,000-square-foot office "a creative playpen."
Redwood City's Evernote, a maker of productivity apps that employs about 330 people, pays a service to clean employees' houses (excluding windows) and provides catered snacks and lunches, unlimited paid time off, a $1,000 vacation subsidy if an employee takes a week off work, gym membership reimbursement, and a $250-per-month electric vehicle subsidy. This is in addition to medical, dental and vision coverage, life insurance and a 401(k).
In its early days, San Francisco's Udemy, a marketplace for online courses, took the company on a working vacation or "workation" in Antalya, Turkey. "We did some work but also rented a boat and went out on the Mediterranean Sea," says Dinesh Thiru, the San Francisco firm's vice president of marketing.

Eventbrite, also in San Francisco, offers a treadmill desk (max speed 2 miles per hour) and a kitchen stocked with a Vitamix blender, fresh fruit, almond milk, hummus, Greek yogurt, flaxseed and kombucha.
Though billed as perks, many of these benefits help the company as much as they help employees.
Vacation unlimited?
Take unlimited vacation, a startup staple in the Bay Area.
Companies are not required to offer paid vacation, but if they do, it becomes a liability. In most states, companies can require employees to take vacation within a certain period or forfeit it.
California, however, does not permit use-it-or-lose it policies; paid vacation is treated like wages. Companies can limit how many vacation hours an employee can accumulate, but when an employee departs, all accrued vacation must be paid out.
"At startups, if people have paid time off and are working a ton and the company gets acquired, that is a bunch of money that has to be paid out," says Brian Helmick, founder of Algentis, which handles human resources for tech companies.
But if a company offers unlimited vacation, it could really mean no vacation.
Such policies "benefit employees in that they are not limited to what they have accrued. It benefits employers in that when employees depart there is not a big payout obligation," says Felicia Reid, an employment lawyer at Hirschfeld Kraemer.
This theory, however, has never been tested in California courts. Employees who were promised unlimited vacation but never took any potentially could argue they are entitled to something, says Erika Frank, general counsel with the California Chamber of Commerce.
In the Bay Area, 60 to 80 percent of startups offer unlimited vacation, Helmick says. Most companies that offer it don't know how much vacation employees actually take because they don't track it.
Automattic, the San Francisco company behind Wordpress.com, is one of the few that does. It has 209 employees in 30 countries. "We encourage people to take at least five weeks a year," says Lori McLeese, the firm's human resources lead. "Europeans take a little bit more. Americans take a little less."
Netflix stopped tracking employee vacations in 2004. With about 2,200 employees, it is one of the largest companies that offers such a policy.
"You can take as much vacation as you like, but if you were to never show up at work, your employment won't last," spokesman Joris Evers says. "It's about freedom and responsibility and treating people like adults."
Twitter, which has about 2,300 employees, offers unlimited vacation to exempt employees only.
Most large companies don't offer open-ended unlimited vacation because it puts too much responsibility on managers to police it, Antonelli said.
Free food
Benefits consultant Towers Watson surveyed 20 large tech companies about their perks this year and found that the most popular, and most valued by employees, was free or subsidized meals.
The idea behind free food "is to keep people at work, to have social time and to interact," says Leslie Caccamese, director of research and marketing with the Great Place to Work Institute, which ranks workplaces. Technology makes it possible to work from home, "but companies realize that great ideas come when people collaborate."
Crazy perks were common in Silicon Valley in the late 1990s but faded after the dot-com crash.
Then came Google. Flush with cash and needing hordes of people, it offered an enviable lineup of benefits that now includes gourmet food and 22 weeks of paid maternity leave plus $500 in "baby bonding bucks" for new parents.
As people left Google to start new companies, they brought some of those ideas with them. Competing companies had to up their ante too, Helmick says.
Evernote spokeswoman Ronda Scott says her company is not using its unique benefits to lure workers. "It's about giving people the tools to get their jobs done and be most effective at the office," she says.
At Social Print Studio, the culture was a big draw for Brad Rocheleau, director of special products. At his previous job, with an environmental consulting firm in Washington, D.C., "I was the youngest by over a decade. For me to be fully happy, I had to develop human relationships with people at work. I also wanted to work with more relevant technology."
For now, such perks are rare outside California. "I guarantee you there are no napping boxes at IBM," says Peter Cappelli, management professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
Antonelli, however, says he has "a very non-tech company with an online division in the Bay Area" that is recruiting tech workers and "trying to get this division up to speed" benefits-wise. "We are seeing it bleed into mainstream industries this way."
Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford, says these benefits come and go.
"As soon as there is an economic downturn, all of this stuff will go away in less than a heartbeat," he says.

The little green plants poking up through the leaves in the photo above are California native wildflowers, although I can't tell you exactly which varieties. I purchased a whole bunch of seeds from the Theodore Payne Foundation website a couple of months ago. After browsing through their giant catalog of seeds--both annual and perennial--and using Google image search to figure out what the flowers would look like, I ended up ordering 14 different types. I know, I went kind of overboard. I tend to do that with seed catalogs. Luckily, seeds are fairly inexpensive.
A few packets of Theodore Payne wildflower seeds went into my seed bombs, and the rest were scattered all over the front and back yards. The front yard wildflowers probably have a better shot, since they don't have to contend with curious chickens and their scratching claws. But, I think I spread my backyard planting locations around enough that I should get a pretty bunch of blooms all over both yards this Spring. I hope so, anyway.
The wildflowers will bring in native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators, which will help my fruit trees and garden plants. And, of course, they'll provide a fun Springtime burst of color. Once they've finished blooming, most of the wildflowers should reseed themselves, so I wont have to go on another seed spree next Fall.
If you're interested, it's not too late for you to plant your own wildflowers. The real rain should hit Southern California in January and February, so if you scatter some seeds soon, they will still get a good start. If you don't want to order online, most garden stores sell California Poppy and lupine seeds, both of which are natives that grow well in Los Angeles.

WaPo talks to feds on NSA slides
John Miller of CBS News said Wednesday that The Washington Post is talking with the U.S. government about publishing more slides Edward Snowden leaked to the newspaper about the National Security Agency's intelligence-gathering PRISM program.
Snowden, 29, handed over top-secret information about the NSA surveillance programs to The Washington Post and The Guardian — and Barton Gellman, who wrote the Post's report, has said Snowden gave him 41 slides about PRISM and asked for the Post to publish all of them within 72 hours. The Post, however, ended up releasing just four slides.
Now what remains is the "wild card" of what is in the rest of the PowerPoint presentation Snowden leaked, Miller said, and the Post has "run that by the U.S. government" to ask how the newspaper could report on the information responsibly.
( PHOTOS: Pols, pundits weigh in on NSA report)
"So, there's a 41-slide deck," Miller said in the "CBS This Morning" interview. "The Washington Post has four — we've seen those in the paper. The Guardian has published some different slides and some the same. But there's the wild card of what's in the rest of that presentation."
( Also on POLITICO: 10 things to know about Snowden)
"The Washington Post has run that by the U.S. government and said, 'What in here could do damage? To be responsible, we still have to cover the story, but, you know, what would do damage that we would be asked to hold back?' And that conversation goes on. Less so, we are told, with The Guardian," he said.
But, Miller noted, "that doesn't tell us what else Snowden may be walking around with in his bag or in his head."

Flick and Share: one-click downloading for Flickr sets
Have you ever wanted to send a friend a whole set of photos that you've already posted on Flickr? Rather than bother with the hassle of email, or forcing your friends to download the pictures one by one, a newly launched free service makes it as easy as clicking a button.
After granting Flick and Share access to your Flickr account, you'll be able to select which of your sets you want to share with others.
After selecting the set, simply click the 'Get your sharing link' button to generate the url.
No one can download the images unless they have the privately generated link.
There are absolutely no limitations to the service. No matter how many sets or photos you want to share, Flick and Share has you covered. Simply select your set, hit the share button, and generate the link.
When you share the link with others, they will be able to download the entire set at the click of a button. The easiest method does, however, require the latest version of Java.
If your friends have an aversion to Java, Flick and Share does suggest an alternate method, using a generated list of links, which you can then download at once using a download manager, such as DownThemAll.
Without having to sign up for the service, anyone can download the images at their original resolution, as long as they have the link.
Flick and Share comes courtesy of, QanikLab, a Venice based IT company.
Do you have a quick and easy way to share your Flickr sets? Let us know in the comments.
