Earlier this month, Everton appointed Kevin Reeves as the Club's new chief scout. Alex Sutch looks into the former Norwich and Manchester City striker's past successes as he begins life at Goodison Park...
As a chief scout, Kevin Reeves has unearthed several gems currently plying their trade in the Premier League.
A forward who made over 300 league appearances in spells at Bournemouth, Norwich, Manchester City and Burnley, Reeves also earned recognition at international level during his playing days, picking up two senior caps for England.
He later turned to coaching and linked up with his former Canaries boss John Bond at Burnley and Birmingham before acting as an assistant manager to Bryan Flynn at both Wrexham and Swansea City.
But it was Roberto Martinez's decision to take him back to the Liberty Stadium which led to a new role for Reeves and the creation of a dossier of talent from which the Spaniard could take his pick.
For Swansea, Reeves was behind the signings of Angel Rangel, Ashley Williams and Nathan Dyer, while at Wigan his input led to the captures of James McCarthy, James McArthur and Arouna Kone, who spent a year with the Latics before his switch to Everton earlier this month.
His scouting of Rangel, Williams and Dyer is made all the more remarkable by the fact that all three are now established top-flight players, something that was certainly not the case, nor particularly predictable, when they were spotted and subsequently signed by the Swans.
Rangel was picked up by Reeves completely by chance. He was in Spain in the summer of 2007 to watch the then Benidorm centre-forward Jorge Molina, a player now of Real Betis and someone who may well line up against Everton in their friendly at Goodison Park on Sunday 11 August.
Deciding to take in another game while on his mission, Reeves spotted Rangel, a right-back, playing for Terrassa in the Spanish lower leagues and in July that year he transferred to South Wales for a nominal fee.
Swansea were leading the way in the League One table by the following March when Ashley Williams was signed on loan from Stockport County, before he completed a permanent move later that year during the summer transfer window.
Williams, a centre half, had been a product of West Bromwich Albion's youth system, but was released at the age of 16 before a spell with non-league Hednesford Town. He moved to League Two outfit Stockport County in 2003 and later became club captain before Reeves outlined his potential to Martinez.
Five years on, Williams is the skipper of his country, Wales, and has this summer been linked with a £12millon move to clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.
After Swansea's promotion to the Championship, Reeves was tasked with finding players with pace and a search for speed ensued. He returned from his scouting trip to recommend a Southampton reserves winger named Nathan Dyer.
Dyer had struggled to secure a place in the Saints' first team and in January 2009 he made a loan move to Swansea until the end of the season. The switch was a success and in the June of that year he completed a permanent transfer.
All three played key roles in the Swans' promotion to the Premier League in 2011 and they remain regular first-team players - something which is a testament to Reeves' ability to find a diamond in the rough.
Following Martinez's departure from Swansea to take up the managerial post at Wigan Athletic in June 2009, Reeves followed.
He continued his sterling work, discovering two players plying their trade in Scotland. Though already a target for a number of top clubs, he aided Martinez in the signing of midfielder James McCarthy from Hamilton Academical in July 2009. James McArthur, a Hamilton teammate, followed a year later.
McCarthy had made his senior debut in 2006 as a 15-year-old and he had just won the SPFA Young Player of the Year award for the 2008/09 season when he arrived at Wigan. Both he and McArthur were members of the Latics' side that defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup Final at Wembley earlier this year.
The duo had previously been part of the Accies side who were promoted to the Scottish Premier League following their First Division title triumph in 2008 and between them they have gone on to make over 200 appearances for their current employers.
And then there was Kone. Signed from Spanish side Levante, Reeves helped Martinez decide the much-travelled front man was ready for a shot at the Premier League. He settled immediately and went on to score 13 goals in 38 appearances for the Latics, before becoming our new No.9 early on in June.
Fans will hope the Ivorian becomes a new hero of the Gwladys Street. For Reeves the challenge is to ensure there are more queued up behind him. That search begins now.

Crystal structure of IRAK4 kinase domain complexed with staurosporine
IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK)4 plays a central role in innate and adaptive immunity, and is a crucial component in IL-1/TLR signaling. We have determined the crystal structures of the apo and ligand-bound forms of human IRAK4 kinase domain. These structures reveal several features that provide opportunities for the design of selective IRAK4 inhibitors. The N-terminal lobe of the IRAK4 kinase domain is structurally distinctive due to a loop insertion after an extended N-terminal helix. The gatekeeper residue is a tyrosine, a unique feature of the IRAK family. The IRAK4 structures also provide insights into the regulation of its activity. In the apo structure, two conformations coexist, differing in the relative orientation of the two kinase lobes and the position of helix C. In the presence of an ATP analog only one conformation is observed, indicating that this is the active conformation.
Cutting Edge: IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 structures reveal novel features and multiple conformations., Kuglstatter A, Villasenor AG, Shaw D, Lee SW, Tsing S, Niu L, Song KW, Barnett JW, Browner MF, J Immunol. 2007 Mar 1;178(5):2641-5. PMID:17312103
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[IRAK4_HUMAN] Defects in IRAK4 are the cause of recurrent isolated invasive pneumococcal disease type 1 (IPD1) [MIM:610799]. Recurrent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is defined as two episodes of IPD occurring at least 1 month apart, whether caused by the same or different serotypes or strains. Recurrent IPD occurs in at least 2% of patients in most series, making IPD the most important known risk factor for subsequent IPD.[1] Defects in IRAK4 are the cause of IRAK4 deficiency (IRAK4D) [MIM:607676]. IRAK4 deficiency causes extracellular pyogenic bacterial and fungal infections in otherwise healthy children.[2][3]
[IRAK4_HUMAN] Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a critical role in initiating innate immune response against foreign pathogens. Involved in Toll-like receptor (TLR) and IL-1R signaling pathways. Is rapidly recruited by MYD88 to the receptor-signaling complex upon TLR activation to form the Myddosome together with IRAK2. Phosphorylates initially IRAK1, thus stimulating the kinase activity and intensive autophosphorylation of IRAK1. Phosphorylates E3 ubiquitin ligases Pellino proteins (PELI1, PELI2 and PELI3) to promote pellino-mediated polyubiquitination of IRAK1. Then, the ubiquitin-binding domain of IKBKG/NEMO binds to polyubiquitinated IRAK1 bringing together the IRAK1-MAP3K7/TAK1-TRAF6 complex and the NEMO-IKKA-IKKB complex. In turn, MAP3K7/TAK1 activates IKKs (CHUK/IKKA and IKBKB/IKKB) leading to NF-kappa-B nuclear translocation and activation. Alternatively, phosphorylates TIRAP to promote its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Phosphorylates NCF1 and regulates NADPH oxidase activation after LPS stimulation suggesting a similar mechanism during microbial infections.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

8 Fun Finger (and Foot!) Painting Projects
The butterfly is a perennial favorite. In this case, the thumbs are painted brown for the body, and four colors are painted on the palm and fingers. With thumb splayed and placed centrally as the body, the other fingers are held together to fashion the wings. then we simply inverted the page and realigned the body to make the lower wings.
By now you've discovered that even the youngest children can produce works of art and will have fun doing so. The question, if you can stop the giggles long enough to frame it, is who has more fun, them or you?

Falmouth Police Department officials warned this week that there has been an increase in the number of breaking and enterings this year, especially within the last two weeks. Police are strongly encouraging residents to be aware and take precautions.
Since January 1 police reported that 41 residential homes have been broken into, up nine from last year.
In the last two weeks, police reported 19 separate break-ins, predominantly in East Falmouth and Teaticket.
All but two took place from Thursday night through Monday morning.
"This is something we are taking seriously and we are being proactive about it," Lieutenant John F. (Sean) Doyle said. "We are asking residents to do the same."
The home break-ins range in scale from nothing stolen to thousands of dollars worth of property stolen and damaged.
Police are asking that residents help to keep neighborhoods safe. "Something we've noticed is that we keep getting light snow and people are breaking into houses that do not have tire marks in the driveway," Lt. Doyle said. "We are asking if you are friendly with your neighbors to help out seasonal homeowners or people on vacation to maybe pull into unoccupied driveways or walk around a neighbor's house so that it looks like someone lives there."
He added that if residents see a car that appears suspicious or does not appear to belong in the neighborhood to write down the license plate number or a description of the vehicle. "That will help us solve a crime," Lt. Doyle said.
Of the break-ins over the last two weeks, 10 took place in East Falmouth and five in Teaticket and Maravista. Two took place in downtown Falmouth and one took place in each West Falmouth and North Falmouth.
Lt. Doyle said the perpetrators are often repeat offenders. "It is usually someone that needs money to support a drug habit," Lt. Doyle said
Of the 19 in the last two weeks, Lt. Doyle reported that the break-ins occurred not only at seasonal homes, but year-round homes. He added that sheds broken into count as a residential break-in.
"There has definitely been an uptick in the last two weeks," Lt. Doyle said. "We are noticing it in seasonal houses, but also noticing it elsewhere. A man went out for a couple of hours during the day and found his house had been broken into." He referenced an incident that took place on Thursday, January 30, on Frederick B. Douglas Road in North Falmouth. The resident left the home at 7 AM and returned at 3 PM to find the front door kicked in and a camera stolen.
Over the past two years, commercial break-ins have decreased. From the same time period, January 1 to February 10, there were eight reports of commercial break-ins in 2012, five in 2013, and only one this year.
Police have suspects in connection to the residential robberies and investigations remain "very active," Lt. Doyle said. They would not release information of individual cases in order to preserve the integrity of those investigations.
Recent break-ins include an intruder who stole approximately $4,000 in property from a home on Bridge Street, East Falmouth, reported on January 30. Police reported someone gained entry after throwing a rock through a window.
In another case, an intruder gained entrance through a broken window on East Falmouth Highway in the early morning on January 31. A computer, printer and flatscreen television were taken from the home.
On the afternoon of February 1, neighbors of a home on Iroquois Street, East Falmouth, noted a resident's outdoor, motion sensor lights were activated and they knew the homeowners were away. After responding, police noticed a broken window and that the house had been ransacked.
An arborist reported what appeared to be a breaking and entering while doing work at a seasonal home on Norris Path, Teaticket. Police found a broken window. Homeowners reported more than $2,000 in items stolen.
Lt. Doyle said the perpetrators are often repeat offenders. "It is usually someone that needs money to support a drug habit," Lt. Doyle said. "Historically, that is what we've found."
The increase in break-ins have coincided with an increase in overdoses, but Lt. Doyle said he could not say if the two were connected. During the last week of January, four people overdosed on heroin, one of whom died. Falmouth narcotic detectives said that the increase in overdoses in a small time frame usually means a recent shipment of stronger heroin. It is more sought out, Detective Christopher P. Bartolomei said.

The far right lane of southbound Las Vegas Boulevard began a long-term closure on Monday.
MGM Resorts had originally planned to shut down the lane from Rue de Monte Carlo to Tropicana Avenue on Monday, July 8. The company, though, said on July 3 it would delay the closure to a future date.
In addition, the far right lane on westbound Tropicana from the Strip is also closed.
According to MGM Resorts, the closures make way for construction of a $100 million entertainment district between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo properties.
Plans for the district, which was announced in April, include new facades for the casinos, which would complement plans for an upcoming 20,000-seat arena planned to be built between the two properties.
The company said the lane closure was expected through next February.

South Dakota–one amazing orchestra!Posted by Jeffrey Biegel in Uncategorized
Many years ago, I had been in contact with the South Dakota Symphony. I had heard very nice things about their conductor, Henry Charles Smith. Although we had not had the pleasure to work together, I was able to connect with their current music director, Delta David Gier. I initially met Maestro Gier in Bridgeport, CT, when he was assisting his teacher, Gustav Meier. We kept our contacts up, and when it came time to approach orchestras and conductors to join the Lowell Liebermann Third Piano Concerto consortium, David was a natural fit.
The South Dakota Symphony has grown enormously from what they have shared with me. Their Executive Director, Tom Bennett, is a very experienced executive director and a really nice fellow, who has helped to raise this orchestra to new heights throughout the city, along with David in his musical aspirations. I had the special pleasure to get to know Mary Sommervold. Mary has helped enormously to bring the orchestra where it is today. The relatively new Washington Pavilion, is quite a stunning hall. Native quartz rock juxtaposing woods create a wonderful ambience along with purple seating. A former high school, they dug out the center of this building, added two stories and made it soundproof from the rest of the building. The orchestra has excellent musicians, and David has been able to maintain their excellence with standard repertoire, and introduce new works to the orchestra and the community. Sioux Falls is quite a lovely city, with some wonderful sculptures adorning the streets.
I am eagerly awaiting our performances this evening and tomorrow, and will report about it shortly thereafter.

Amara Selous
Situated on the banks of the Ruaha River, the smart but relaxed Amara Selous opened in 2010 and is one of the newer lodges in the Selous Game Reserve. This is the first lodge of the 'Amara Group', which states its aim as offering 'the highest quality and services in bush hospitality' as it 'develops a luxury travel collection of tented camps around Tanzania'.
Continue reading our full report on Amara Selous
Our view of Amara Selous
When we stayed in September 2012, we found Amara Selous to be a well-run, high-quality lodge with a nice relaxed atmosphere in good surroundings. The chic design and experienced management couple make Amara a high-quality choice, which may suit couples seeking privacy and comfort. However, be aware that the wildlife in this western side of Selous Game Reserve is both less relaxed and less numerous than it is in most areas further east.
Azura Selous Game ReserveStop Press: From June 1st, Amara is to be taken over by Azura who run the very high quality Azura Benguerra in Mozambique. They plan to put time and effort into increasing the standards at the camp - with particular attention to the guiding. If it will be anything like the sister properties, then we're excited to see what "Azura Selous Game Reserve", as it's currently being called, will bring.

Two years ago a bill, which would have banned possession of 30-round magazines like those used to kill 20 children and six women in the Sandy Hook Elementary School, was introduced in the Connecticut General Assembly. It never came to a vote.
Now there are attempts to remedy that on many levels. Connecticut's U.S. senators are co-sponsoring strict gun legislation in Congress that includes a ban on large-capacity magazines and they have already been banned in New York. In addition, Senate President Donald Williams has told us that after the Newtown horror Connecticut should feel obligated to take a leadership role in dealing with these weapons capable of mass murder.
In 2011, Connecticut's failed Senate Bill 1094 would have made it a felony to own ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. It was introduced soon after a nine-year-old girl and five adults were murdered and Congresswoman Gaby Giffords was seriously wounded at a Tucson, Ariz. mall. The killer used a Glock 19 with a 33-round magazine.
Adam Lanza's weapon in the Sandy Hook killings, except for the handgun he used on himself, was a Bushmaster AR-15 with magazines containing 30 bullets, according to Lt, Paul Vance, the Connecticut State Police spokesman. The guns were owned by Lanza's mother - his first victim.
There is, of course, no way to know if Nancy Lanza would have turned in her magazines 90 days after passage of SB 1094, as the bill would have required. Had she obeyed the new law, there would have been no large capacity magazines in the Lanza home for more than the entire year leading up to the Newtown murders.
But the bill never got out of the Judiciary Committee and its failure is a testament to the power of Connecticut sportsmen's organizations and the National Rifle Association, which had sneered in a newsletter that SB 1094 was nothing more than "a bill in search of a problem."
"No correlation exists between the size or arbitrary capacity of a detachable magazine and violent crime," was the incredible NRA claim just weeks after the capacity of the magazine had made it so easy to kill six people and wound 18 so quickly in Tucson.
With the NRA's encouragement, thousands of gun owners, manufacturers and dealers sent letters and e-mails to lawmakers. Dozens submitted written testimony to the Judiciary Committee, including the chief executives of gunmakers Smith and Wesson of Springfield, Mass. and Sturm Ruger and Co. of Southbury, who said jobs would be lost if the bill passed.
Robert Crook of the Hartford-based Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen boasted to Bloomberg News he sent an e-mail to more than 1,800 of his members, telling them if the bill passed, it would "ban your magazines and turn your guns into paper weights."
The gun crowd packed a Judiciary Committee public hearing with hundreds of advocates. Testimony by this "public" was overwhelmingly against the bill during a marathon session that went on for 12 hours. SB 1094 didn't have a chance.
But that was before Newtown. The federal legislation will still be difficult to pass but after Newtown it has the best chance in decades and our senators and others deserve our thanks for raising it.
And we see similar legislation being passed in the coming weeks by a more courageous and, perhaps, a more conscience-stricken Connecticut legislature.

A lot has been made of Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch doing very little interaction with the media during Super Bowl week. I started asking myself the question, "Does it really matter how much he talks?" I realize Lynch is a top running back in the NFL and that is the biggest reason why this is even a story. And I am sure me blogging about it isn't helping but oh well.
Maybe Marshawn is shy, maybe he is quiet or perhaps we realized why he doesn't talk, after dropping an S-bomb with Deion Sanders during an interview. However I have found the inspiration for Lynch's quiet demeanor and he is learning from the best. Check out this great interview with San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.
Here is another aspect of the media that drives me nuts. These dumb interviews between quarters of NBA games don't teach me anything except that cliches are alive and well. So congrats to Popovich and the other coaches who say as little as possible. Perhaps Pop can start giving one word answers or learn sign language.

NoSQL Databases - The Trend for Databases in the Cloud?
From a sys-con article
Will there be some sort of "war" between NoSQL and SQL supporters like the one of REST versus SOAP? The answer is maybe. Who will win this case? As with SOAP versus REST, there won't be a winner or a loser.
Bad parallel, but it begs a comment: I hope (some) NoSQL databases will be more like REST, as I wouldn't call SOAP a success.
- Which unfortunately doesn't have much, or at all with its title. (↩)

For Wiccans and followers of some other New Age religions, the movements of the Sun and other celestial bodies hold special meaning. Among the astronomical events having significance on the Wiccan calendar is the winter solstice.
On the night of the solstice, Wiccans celebrate Yule.
Astronomically, the winter solstice is the shortest day -- and longest night -- of the year. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, in 2012 the winter solstice occurs at 6:12 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Dec. 21.
If you have friends who are Wiccans, crafts and other handmade items are considered appropriate gifts at Yule time.

The Occupational Therapy Admissions Committee selects students for admission after they have met the general Tuskegee University requirements for admission to the Graduate Program. Tuskegee University offers a 3+2 program. For students beginning as freshmen, 3 years of undergraduate course work is required and 2 years of graduate work. Prior to the end of their third year, students must make application to the graduate phase of the program. Admission is not automatic. Applicants may start as a freshman or sophomore at Tuskegee University or come as a transfer student with a maximum of 80 hours of allowable, undergraduate transfer credit from an accredited college or university.

2. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on all course work attempted is a pre-requisite for admission to the 4th year or graduate phase. Students with a cumulative 2.7 grade average may be admitted as a conditional graduate student. If a student is accepted on a conditional basis, a minimum of nine hours of graduate course work must be completed during the first term of the graduate program with a minimum average of 3.0 for admission to full graduate status.
3. Demonstration of knowledge concerning yourself and the occupational therapy profession by submitting:
a. An essay (2-3 paragraphs) detailing the reasons the applicant desires to become an occupational therapist (i.e. your philosophy, life goals, knowledge of the field, etc.).
b. An autobiographical sketch of approximately 250 words( describe birth history, early life, family members, schools attended, family life and other events that shaped you as a person).
c. Documentation of a minimum of 40 hours of first hand observation or work experience related to the practice of occupational therapy. This experience must be substantiated in writing by a registered/licensed occupational therapist.
4. Three recommendations from persons acquainted with the applicant's ability to be successful in a graduate program. One recommendation must be completed by a community leader and two from members of the academic community. This information should be submitted on the required forms located in the admissions package.
5. A personal interview with the Occupational Therapy Admissions Committee and a minimum score of 70% on the interview (average of at least two evaluators). Applicants must interview on site in the department's designated areas unless prior approval has been obtained for another type or location of interview.
6. Submission of scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) from the aptitude portions of the test (verbal and quantitative) of 540 and above is required prior to admission. Applicants doing pre-professional work at Tuskegee University will be required to report GRE scores during the third year of course work and prior to applying to the professional (or graduate) phase. Students transferring into the graduate phase of the program should submit GRE scores (not older than 5 years) as a part of their application materials.
7. Preference for admission will be given to applicants who have completed all prerequisite courses by the end of the summer session prior to their admission to the graduate program. The graduate program begins only in the Fall semester of every year.
8. Applications for the graduate program should be submitted by January 15 of the year in which you plan to enter the program.
The Occupational Therapy Admissions Committee will consider several factors in making its decision for admission of a student. Criteria such as cumulative grade point average, prior experiences, recommendations, personal interviews, HOBET and GRE scores will be considered as part of the Committee's decision to accept a student for the graduate program of study.
After applying to the occupational therapy program the student will be notified of their acceptance status. If the student is not presently enrolled at Tuskegee University, he or she will be asked to submit a non-refundable application fee to the university.
To obtain the appropriate forms, prospective students should write to:
Occupational Therapy Program Director
School of Nursing and Allied Health
Tuskegee University
Tuskegee Inst., AL 36088
The student should also apply for admission to Tuskegee University. An application may be obtained on-line at www.tuskegee.edu or from:
Admissions Office
Margaret Murray Washington Building
Tuskegee Inst., AL 36088
An official transcript from all colleges and universities attended should also be sent to the above address. Each transcript should bear the signature of the registrar, the seal of the granting institution, the years of attendance, courses taken, grades received, and the degree, diploma, or certificate conferred (if applicable).
Credit courses: Non-credit courses:
A = 90-100 S - satisfactory or P (Pass)
B = 80-89 U - unsatisfactory or F (Fail)
C = 70-79 I - incomplete
Retention in program continued*:
No grade below "C" will be accepted for graduate credit. However, grades on all courses carrying graduate credit will be used in determining the overall grade point average. (Please note that this includes PSYC 306). A graduate student (4th and 5th years) must maintain a "B" average (3.0) in all course work included in the program of study outlined for the degree, with no more than six semester hours of "C" grades. Undergraduates (1st, 2nd and 3rd year students) must complete prerequisite courses with a grade of "C" or higher (See # 2 under admissions policy in this document).
* Graduate retention policies are regulated by Tuskegee University. See the Graduate Programs Bulletin (2008-2010) for reference and further details.
2. Grades of "D" are not acceptable. If a student makes a "D" in any course work in the program of study, then the student's graduate status is forfeited. When a student's record falls below 3.0, probation becomes automatic. Notification by the Registrar's office to the Dean of Graduate Programs will designate the student as probationary and the College Dean will be informed immediately. The College Dean will then inform the student, the department chairperson, and the student's advisor.
3. The probationary student will have until the end of the next session in which they are enrolled, to improve the cumulative grade point average to 3.0 or above. If the cumulative grade point average does not equal or exceed 3.0 at the end of this session, the student's graduate status will be forfeited and the student will no longer be permitted to pursue a graduate degree at Tuskegee University.
4. A student whose cumulative grade point average falls below 3.0 after a previous probationary period shall forfeit graduate status, and will be dismissed from the program. The dismissed student will be allowed to withdraw from the current session in which he or she is enrolled. Students, who have been dismissed from the Graduate program, may enroll as a non-degree student. However, credits earned in this category may not be subsequently applied toward a degree at Tuskegee University. In addition, the student will not be considered for readmission to any other Graduate Program at Tuskegee University.
5. Student Ethical Standards as printed in the Occupational Therapy Graduate Handbook are binding in academic as well as clinical settings. Students must adhere to all of these standards. These standards are guidelines for professional and ethical behavior expected of all students enrolled in occupational therapy courses. Students in violation of any of the ethical standards may be dismissed from the program. A copy of these standards will be made available to all students enrolled in the occupational therapy program and will be found in the Occupational Therapy Graduate Handbook.
The occupational therapy graduate program requires a student to be in residence two academic years as a regular graduate student and the satisfactory completion of 68 hours of graduate courses for credit to complete requirements for a professional master's degree in occupational therapy.
Admission to the graduate program in occupational therapy does not automatically qualify a student as a candidate for the master's degree. The request for admission to candidacy should be filed by the student with the assistance of the major professor after the completion of the 4th year of course work or thirty (36) semester hours of graduate credit and in accordance with the dates published in the University Calendar.
To achieve candidacy, the student must:
Students who have received "C" grades or less in more than 6 semester credit hours of graduate work will not be admitted to candidacy. A student who has been admitted to candidacy and who subsequently has received grades of "C" or less in more than six semester hours of graduate work will forfeit candidacy and will not receive the Master's degree.
All applications for candidacy should follow the standard procedures as described in the Tuskegee University Graduate Handbook for Academic Regulations and Procedures except the thesis requiremen.
1. After graduation, the occupational therapy major is required to complete six (6) months of full-time fieldwork in occupational therapy within 24 months of graduation, before they are eligible to sit for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the certification exam or attain state licensure.
2. These level II fieldwork experiences are arranged after the payment of continuous registration fee for each placement. No academic credit will be received. The graduate intern will receive a pass (P), fail (F), or I (incomplete) grade which will be recorded on their transcript.
3. Graduates must receive a passing score on the "Fieldwork Performance Report" for Level II fieldwork in order to receive approval from the Program Director to take the NBCOT certification examination. A failing or incomplete grade posted on the intern's transcript will not allow the intern to sit for the NBCOT examination.
4. All graduates will be required to participate in a structured review session in preparation for the NBCOT exam as a part of their grading in Fieldwork II courses.
5. All fieldwork must be scheduled within 24 months after graduation. All interns must be enrolled in student professional liability insurance, health insurance and provide evidence of a background check.

It's almost that festive time of the year again and on behalf of the CPTC Diversity Committee we would like to send out the below message on holiday inclusiveness.
Our campus has a fascinatingly diverse population, and we want everyone here to feel welcome and comfortable, including all employees and students. This is especially true during this holiday season, so the Diversity Committee has put together some suggestions for helping folks from all of our various backgrounds to feel included in the holiday spirit.
It used to be that being inclusive meant sending out politically correct "Happy Holidays" greeting cards and changing Christmas office parties to "holiday parties." Today, going beyond just changing labels and titles, celebrating diversity and inclusiveness is about using celebrations to build mutual understanding and enjoyment.
These suggestions are intended to promote tolerance and respect for the diversity that exists at CPTC and to remind members of the campus community of ways they can embrace their own holiday traditions and beliefs while still respecting those of others. The suggestions aim to help make our workplace festive and fun without valuing one holiday tradition over another.
- Consider decorating public spaces and offices with seasonal inclusive items like snowflakes, snowmen, ribbons, boughs, stars, and seasonal flowers/berries, instead of holiday-specific items that may carry meaning only for those who hold certain beliefs.
- Remember that neutral symbols don't have to be somber. Be creative in making the celebration a unifying activity and not one that highlights differences.
- Inclusion, when done right, doesn't take away anyone's rights or personal rights or beliefs. A good rule of thumb is to walk through your area as your customers would: the areas they see are public and should be inclusive.
- Your desk may be a more personal space, and can represent your personality and personal values. But your valuing of inclusion and diversity should be reflected even when decorating personal space.
- Trying to represent decorations from multiple religious groups still risks offending those who are unintentionally left out. There are hundreds of different faiths, celebrations, and beliefs.
The Diversity Committee wishes you a wonderful holiday season!

Police are looking for a suspect who ran from officers after a routine overnight traffic stop in Dexter.
On Sunday around 1:25 a.m., Dexter Police received a call about a silver PT Cruiser traveling west toward Dexter on US Highway 60 from Sikeston. The reporting person said the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and driving erratically.
About 1:30 am, a Dexter officer spotted the vehicle, still westbound on US Highway 60. The vehicle was seen exceeding the posted speed limit and at that point, and a traffic stop was made.
The vehicle pulled onto the shoulder of westbound Highway 60 around one- half mile east of State Highway AD. As an officer approached the vehicle, the driver fled on foot northbound, crossing a ditch over onto the North Outer Road. No one else was inside the vehicle.
When the officer lost sight of the driver, a parameter was set up and Dexter's K9 Unit responded to the area.
The K9 Unit continued tracking north, near D & L Trucking. Nearby, officers heard what they believed to be the suspect running through a wooded area and continued to follow them toward a private lake.
As the officers reached the top of the lake levy, they heard a loud splash and believed that the suspect jumped into the water.
The K9 continued to track to the edge of the water fresh footprints was discovered.
Officers searched the edge of the lake bank, but due to the terrain surrounding the water, were unable to find anyone.
Officers feared that a possibly intoxicated person fell into the lake. At that time, the boating operations unit from Sikeston DPS was contacted and they responded to the scene.
When Sikeston DPS arrived, they deployed their watercraft and a more extensive search was conducted, but no one was found.
The Dexter Police Department continues to follow leads in the active investigation.

Coral Gables-based Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners soon will make its investigational drug Firdapse available at no cost to patients with a certain autoimmune disorder.
The drug, which is supposed to relieve muscle weakness in people with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, is entering the final phase of its clinical trials. Catalyst said it expects to submit an application for Firdapse's approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration next year.
Catalyst has been leading the development of Firdapse in the United States since 2012; the drug already is government-approved and commercially available in Europe.
During the U.S. approval process, Catalyst said it will establish an expanded-access program to make Firdapse available for free to patients with LEMS.
"As part of our ongoing commitment to the LEMS community, we are making Firdapse available to those who would like access to this investigational drug but are unable to participate in clinical studies or travel to sites where it is available," Catalyst CEO Patrick J. McEnany said in a statement.

Last week I wrote that the Phillies bullpen was very good at preventing extra-base hits and especially home runs in 2008. It would be nice to see the Phils continue that success in 2009 and hopefully they will. It's important to be aware, though, that many of the pitchers in last year's pen allowed extra-base hits at a rate far below their career levels prior to 2008. Here's a look at five guys who faced at least 200 hitters in relief for the Phils in 2008 who will be part of the '09 picture as well, comparing the rate at which they allowed extra-base hits last year compared to what they had done the rest of their careers:
Condrey allowed extra-base hits more regularly in 2008 than he had over the rest of his career, giving up one every 11.7 plate appearances in '08 compared to one every 12.7 plate appearances for the rest of his career. The other four guys in the group were better at preventing extra-base hits, and all of them were better at it by a larger margin than Condrey was worse. The most improvement compared to his career numbers coming into '08 was shown by Durbin — Durbin had allowed an extra-base hit every 11.2 plate appearances coming into the season and allowed one every 21.5 plate appearances in '08. Lidge was second, he had allowed an extra-base hit every 15.2 plate appearances coming into '08 and allowed one every 22.5 during '08.
So Lidge was better at preventing extra-base hits in '08, but the improvement relative to his overall rate of preventing overall hits in 2008 was not as dramatic as it was for Durbin.
Here are how many plate appearances there were between home runs on average for the five pitchers in 2008 compared to the rest of their careers:
Lidge faced 292 hitters in '08 and just two of them homered. The first was memorable. On July 25, Lidge started the ninth against the Braves down 1-0. Atlanta scored seven times in an inning punctuated by a grand slam by Brian McCann off of Lidge. Lidge was charged five runs in the game without getting an out. It was one of two games in the season in which he allowed more than one run in a game — he allowed as many runs in that game as he had in his first 35 appearances on the year. The other home run came less than ten days later. On August 3, Lidge started the ninth up 5-3 and allowed a solo homer to Troy Glaus. Lidge pitched out of a bases loaded jam and the Phils held on to win 5-4.
Anyway, back to the point and the point is that Lidge allowed home runs at a much better rate in 2008 than he had over his career.
Durbin was also very good compared to the other years of his career, but not quite as good as Lidge. Also notable is how frequently Durbin had given up homers coming into 2008.
Romero actually allowed home runs at a tiny bit higher rate compared to his career coming into 2008. Previous to 2008 he had allowed a home run once every 51.5 plate appearances. In 2008 he gave up five home runs to the 255 hitters he faced — that's one every 51 plate appearances.
Madson and Condrey were better at preventing home runs than they had been in previous years, but not by as wide a margin as Lidge or Durbin.
The Phillies played three games since the last post, during which Feliz and Utley each saw their first spring action. The Phils won two of three and are 6-9 in spring training.
Utley played today as the Phils beat St Louis 2-1. Park made the start and was outstanding again. He allowed three singles in 4 2/3 scoreless innings. He struck out six and lowered his spring ERA to 1.54. In 11 2/3 innings this spring he has thrown to an 0.86 ratio, allowing ten hits without walking a batter.
Jason Ellison doubled in Miguel Cairo in the ninth to get the Phils the win. Utley was 0-for-2. Werth 2-for-3 with a double and a home run. Cairo 2-for-2 to raise his average to .370. Giles 0-for-1 to drop his to .167. Mayberry 0-for-1. Donald 0-for-3.
Yesterday the Phils beat Houston 5-2.
Carrasco got the start and allowed a run on four hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out four. Borkowski threw a scoreless fourth, walking two. Andrew Carpenter had a nice outing in what's been a miserable spring for him. He struck out four while allowing a run over four innings. Koplove pitched a scoreless ninth to earn a save, striking out two and allowing a single.
Werth was 1-for-2 with a walk, a homer and two RBI. Ozuna was at DH and went 3-for-4 with three singles and a stolen base. Donald was 1-for-4 with a single and two stolen bases. His career high in stolen bases in the minor leagues is 12 and he's been safe in 28 of 38 minor league attempts (74%). Giles was 0-for-4 and left five men on base. Mayberry 1-for-4 with two strikeouts.
On Friday, the Pirates beat the Phillies 6-5.
Blanton got the start and allowed two runs on five hits over 4 2/3 innings. The Phils took a 5-3 lead into the ninth inning, but Blaine Neal allowed a three-run homer to Jeff Salazar.
Howard hit a two-run homer for the Phils. Mayberry was 1-for-3 with a double and struck out twice. Donald 2-for-5 with a triple. Giles 0-for-2. Cairo 1-for-3 with a single and an RBI. Feliz played third and went 0-for-2.
On Saturday, Puerto Rico beat Team USA 11-1. Victorino was 0-for-3. Rollins played but didn't get an at-bat. Romero did not pitch for Puerto Rico. Team USA plays The Netherlands tonight and the team that loses is eliminated from the tournament. Puerto Rico plays Venezuela tomorrow night, but the loser is not eliminated. Rodrigo Lopez and Team Mexico play Korea tonight.
The Phillies play the Yankees tomorrow afternoon. Kyle Kendrick is expected to pitch and needs to pitch well off of two miserable appearances.
Utley appears to be on schedule to play opening day.
Update 3/16/09: Team USA beat The Netherlands 9-3. Rollins had a big day, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run and four RBI. Victorino was 0-for-1. Korea beat Mexico 8-2. Lopez did not pitch.
More update 3/16/09: Cole Hamels has a sore elbow and will fly back to Philadelphia tonight to have the elbow examined by the team physician. That can't be that good.

Comments about Matrix MPU2 Clip-On Tuner Microphone:
I purchased this to use with a French horn and an elderly Korg tuner and was disappointed. I hoped it would improve sensitivity over using the tuner's built-in microphone, which often requires playing loudly especially in the low register, and I hoped that, by isolating the tuner from random sounds such as the furnace blower, it would eliminate detection of spurious notes. It did neither. Sensitivity is about the same as with the built-in microphone. The spurious notes, which may be electronic noise in the tuner rather than outside noise, are still picked up when I am not playing or when the tuner fails to detect that I am. There is a tendency, when the unit is clipped to the bell per instructions, for the tuner to detect an overtone of the note I am playing rather than the note itself.
I tried attaching the pickup to the leadpipe, since an oboist/music teacher friend said she gets better results with brass instruments by attaching her tuner pickup there. However, her pickup is shaped to go around the curve of an oboe bell, or to fit on a tube, whereas this pickup is flat. Attaching it to the leadpipe did not help.
The device appears reasonably sturdy and may well be satisfactory in other applications.

ELMIRA, N.Y. (AP) — People in an upstate New York neighborhood say the four victims of a home fire were children.
Friday night's fire swept through a two-story home on a tidy block in the riverside city of Elmira, near the Pennsylvania border. Fire officials say the building was engulfed in flames when they arrived.
Authorities say four people were rushed to a hospital but died. Neighbors say the four were children. Police confirm children are among the dead.
Neighbor Glen Bolt tells the Elmira Star-Gazette (http://stargaz.tt/1e0Etyc) he ran across the street when he saw flames pouring out of the home's windows and front door. He says the children in the home ranged in age from around 5 to 15.
The cause and circumstances of the fire are under investigation.

3 financial challenges of blending families
Getting divorced and remarried is complicated enough without factoring in children and family finances. Read on to learn how you can blend well and thrive.
Since "The Brady Bunch" first aired on ABC in 1969, blended families have become increasingly common. In fact, the Pew Research Center reports that in 2010, 42% of 2,691 adults surveyed had at least one step-relative and 13% had a stepchild.
Whether they include stepchildren, half-siblings, grandparents raising kids or some other family structure, blended families often create more complicated financial considerations when it comes to estate planning, saving for college and paying taxes.
"Good financial planning can't fix a dysfunctional family, but bad planning can create dysfunction in situations where it need not be," says Wistar Morris, principal and client strategist with the wealth management firm Signature in Charlottesville, Va.
Here's a look at three of those situations, as well as strategies for working through them. Of course, every family's finances are different, so it's often smart to discuss yours with a financial planner, estate attorney, accountant or other professional.
1. Taxes
Taxes are especially complicated for families going through a divorce, according to Mela Garber, a partner in New York accounting firm Anchin, Block & Anchin. For instance, when one spouse moves out of the house during a separation, that can complicate the spouse's capital gains tax when the house is sold because it's no longer a primary residence.
Determining which parent gets to claim the kids as dependents is another sticky tax situation for some divorced families. "Sometimes divorce or separate maintenance agreements will specify that each parent will take a dependency exemption in alternate years," Garber says. "The child dependency on its own doesn't generate that much tax benefit for higher-level income earners, but some credits like child care tax credits can be only taken by the person who takes the dependency exemption."
When a relative takes care of a grandchild, niece or nephew, he or she can claim that child as a dependent without legally adopting the child if the relative provides more than half of the child's support and meets other IRS criteria.
2. Saving and paying for college
Non-nuclear family structures add an extra layer of complication to student aid, loans and 529 college savings plans. For purposes of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, the assets and income of a step-parent married to the custodial parent do count toward the expected family contribution, according to Mark Kantrowitz, senior vice president and publisher of Edvisors.com. This could potentially lower that student's aid eligibility even if the stepparent doesn't intend to contribute to the student's tuition, and there's a prenuptial agreement establishing that fact.
"The only way to exclude the income and assets of the spouse is for that spouse to not be a spouse," Kantrowitz says. "Schools would be suspicious if a couple got divorced soon before college."
Divorced couples should also look at any 529 college savings plans, because if a noncustodial parent is the owner of a 529 plan, distributions from that plan can affect the student's aid eligibility. "Usually you can transfer ownership," Kantrowitz says. "If the state doesn't allow it, you just move the plan to a state that does allow it and change the account owner. You can keep it in that state or move it back."
3. Estate planning
Remarriages in particular can complicate estate planning. "One of the most common techniques in estate planning is a marital trust or QTIP (Qualified Terminal Interest Property) trust that is set up to benefit a surviving spouse for their lifetime," Wistar says. "The remainder goes to the children."
But if the new spouse is much younger, adult children may worry that their inheritance will go to support a stepparent instead of flowing to them. (Just look to Cinderella for a cautionary tale of not providing for one's biological children after death.)
"If there's a 25-year difference between the new spouse and their parent, and all those assets go into some type of trust to support the stepparent, there can be real resentment," says Joe Heider, regional managing principal at Rehmann Financial in Westlake, Ohio. "Their inheritance has been delayed by a generation."
If the biological parent is still insurable, Heider continues, he or she could potentially avoid this situation by purchasing additional life insurance and putting it in an irrevocable trust for the biological children. "The (surviving) spouse inherits the home and assets, and they've provided for the children in the form of life insurance," he says.
Updating beneficiaries on life insurance or retirement accounts is an important part of estate planning because beneficiary designations trump wills or trusts. If the policyholder forgets to remove an ex-spouse from a life insurance policy following a divorce, the ex could get life insurance money instead of the deceased's children or new spouse.

White Earns Regional Player of the Week Honors
September 28, 2004
Olympia, WA - Evergreen junior forward Alisha White earned recognition as the Cascade Collegiate Conference and Region I player of the week this week as she led Evergreen to two wins.
Evergreen defeated Albertson College behind White's hat trick as they downed the 'Yotes 4-2. White also had a goal in Evergreen's 2-1 overtime defeat of conference rival Eastern Oregon University.
"It was a big week for Alisha and a big week for us," said Evergreen's head coach Erik Gibson-Snyder. "We are in that time of the season where everyone needs to start stepping it up. Alisha has been a great player for us all season and it is nice to see her efforts getting rewarded with some goals."
White transferred to Evergreen from Walla Walla community college where she scored 20 goals her sophomore season. But the Geoduck had only one goal on the season until her breakout game against Albertson College.
"It wasn't for lack of trying," said Gibson-Snyder. "Our forwards have a great work-rate and they are always looking for the goal. Alisha wasn't getting the bounces early. And our team hadn't learned to play together yet. We are still learning about each other, but we are getting closer to being a cohesive attacking team. The more we play, the more we will score. Alisha will continue to be a big part of that."

Francis and Jane Create from Scratch for Growing Family
Kids' Room Tour
Location: Civic Center (south of Canal Street, east of Tribeca), New York City Room Size: Lucas — 15'x7', Anais — 7'x12', Nicholas — 15'x12'
Francis is an internationally recognized architect and Jane is a talented children's clothing designer. Not surprisingly, they've excelled at carving out mini-kingdoms for each of their three children, out of what was once a hallway, an alcove, and part of the dining room.
Having long ago rented a loft in an overlooked neighborhood, Jane and Francis have a lot of square footage with which to work. Still, it requires creativity and patience to figure out how to create private spaces that make each child feel special and well-cared for. Each of the children's bedrooms bursts with color. The hand of the two older children is evident in key areas. They have been given the opportunity to make their mark and that's what stands out the most.
How would you describe the look and feel of this room/these rooms?
Soft, Cute, Fun, Cozy, Sweet; Fun and Boyish.
What is your favorite piece or element?
Mine will be all the paintings by my daughter, hers will be flowers hanging from the ceiling. For Lucas — the floating boxes on the wall and he likes the rabbit night light. For Nicholas, I like the wall drawings and he likes his skull and animal collection.
What was the biggest challenge decorating this room?
The size of the room for Anais and Lucas and light for Nicholas.
What do friends say about the room?
"Very cute and sweet", they want Lucas' room, and they "loooooove the mural" in the Nicholas' room.
Do you have any advice for parents creating a room for their child?
Think long term and simple. Never make it too themed, and for older kids, let them have some input (but not too much).
What, if any, are your additional plans for the room?
None for the moment for the two younger kids, but perhaps a bunk bed with desk underneath for Nicholas.
If money were no object, what would be your dream source?
My imagination.
- Most furniture and shelving in kids' rooms built by Francis D'Haene
- Lucas' crib by Oeuf
- Tree wallpaper by Inke Heiland
- Nicholas' desk by IKEA
- chair by Maarten Van Severen for Vittra
Thank you Francis and Jane! For a tour of the rest of Francis and Jane's loft , check out Francis and Jane Adapt a Loft to a Growing Family on Apartment Therapy.

I found this a frustrating tour. You mention how they carved the spaces out of their apartment in a creative way and had issues with space and light...and then show pictures of red pigs. Would have loved more shots to reveal how they made the spaces work.
ditto - I'd have like to see before and after of the carving out of spaces
If you go to the post about the loft (linked to above), you'll get the sense of how the raw space was carved up. The bedrooms don't have any windows, as the only windows in the loft are in the living room (where they kids have a play area). In the other pictures, you see that they used translucent doors and panels to let light penetrate the bedrooms, as well as different levels of lighting in the rooms themselves.
I thought that, for fire code purposes, bedrooms always had to have windows though? That's the bit I find confusing... (I know that is the case where I live.)
Holy cow! Those are some lucky kids. I adore the fish tank and your use of collections and art everwhere.
Yeah -- great art, fun toys, and awesome fish tank (had to find it online!)!! Definitely a place we'd feel right at home in!
The room ...tree..is special I have seen several ways the tree may be used for educational purposes . Ask and I will be glad to share..too too many for now.
Main concern the dangling light cord which I know can be corrected easily .
I agree with Holiday.... any of these before /afters please stick to the subject matter ..then the extras...we like it all ..but take it from in A ,B ,C order.
Will contuine to look for great ideas.
"Very cute and sweet" kid's room. Really like the decoration! I miss my first child room, I had a colorful room with light blue and white wallpaper and red checked bedding, rainbows on the wall... and she never slept in there. It was tooooo stimulating!
Did someone hand paint the Pokemon walls or were they decals etc. thank you.

responds: It is possible to add a second layer
of laminate, though it's always best if
you can remove the existing laminate and get down

there's really no good way to get old
laminate off unless it's loose to begin

Don't ever apply a second layer over loose
If the first layer is well adhered, scuff the
surface with a belt sander and an 80- or 100-grit

most glues will not stick well to slick, nonporous
surfaces. After scuffing the surface, wipe it with
a solvent like mineral spirits or paint thinner.
This helps the glue to "wet out" — meaning
that the glue will spread well instead of beading
