LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- Ashton May ran with speed and passion. Those traits propelled her to school records, team captaincy and ten All-American honors at UW-La Crosse.
Women's head track coach Pat Healy said, "I think Ashton was kind of the epitome of division three track to tell you the truth."
"She had this quiet confidence about her," said Eagles senior Tia Anderson.
It carried May through her 2010 graduation into a teaching job in Holmen, and back to UWL Track where she became an assistant coach.
"She was just getting everything started," said Katie Wagner, another assistant coach. "Her first job, and she was so excited to keep on coaching with us."
Healy added, "She was one of the best young coaches that I had, and she had a really bright future as far as teaching and coaching."
Then, on a fateful Saturday night last September, May's run ended.
"Everything kind of just stops," said Wagner.
Anderson said, "I felt like the ground had fallen from underneath you."
May's car crashed into an oncoming truck near Adams, Minnesota. Airlifted to a hospital in Rochester, she died later that night. Ashton May was just 25 years old.
"We actually had a candlelight vigil down here on the track out by the long jump pit," Healy recalled.
Wagner said, "It just seemed right to be with the team."
"The team was what got everybody through it," said Anderson. "We were always together. All Sunday we were together. You just couldn't be apart from each other because it was just a really tough time."
...A tough time that strengthened the Eagles. Only five months later, May's friends and teammates ran with her spirit all the way to their first WIAC indoor title since may led them to the top step herself in 2010.
UWL junior Kayla Ashland said, "[Her memory is] a huge motivating factor, I think. We won conference. We hadn't in a few years, and I think we dedicate that to her."
"You're definitely just going to run for her. You're doing everything for her," Anderson said.
Wagner added, "The season is definitely dedicated to her."
"We've been fortunate to have a pretty good season so far," said Healy.
Her memory will continue to carry the team this weekend, as they host the first Ashton May Invitational.
"We want to celebrate everything that she did," said Anderson.
Healy said, "Her parents are going to be here and some of her other relatives."
"They're as much as our family as the rest of the team," said Wagner. "We definitely think about her every day."
It's a fitting tribute to the run cut tragically short, and the memory that races forward.
Here's what you need to know if you want to attend the Ashton May Invitational this weekend. It begins Friday with a men's decathlon and women's heptathlon at 3:00 p.m. Seven women's and six men's teams then continue the meet on Saturday afternoon at 12:50, starting with a dedication ceremony for Ashton prior to track and field events. Admission is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for children and seniors.

Just because the holiday season is over doesn't mean pie season is over! At my work, the Account Management department has this amazing tradition called Pie Day. Every Tuesday, a selection of the group brings something sweet to share with the team. Let me tell you, I look forward to Tuesdays at 3pm! It's a great break in the week and a fun little culture booster as well.
I didn't actually make this pie for Pie Day (so far, I've contributed these and these). This was Tim's request for Thanksgiving dessert, and the first pecan pie I'd ever tasted, which is fitting since Texas is one of the biggest pecan producers in the US. The filling recipe is here at Garden & Gun, and I used Joy the Baker's crust.

Attention all herpetologists!
January 9, 2011
Question for snake enthusiasts!
My partner and I are considering getting a snake as a pet. I love reptiles, and have done a bit of research into this over the past few years but I was never able to justify the initial financial investment. If I were to get such a pet, I would want to do it properly (ie. I don't want to cheap out). In the next several months we will be better able to make that investment, so I have questions for you, my darling mefites!
- I understand that corn snakes and ball pythons are recommended as beginner snakes. What are the pros and cons of each? Is there something else you'd recommend?
- We have two cats. We would make every effort to keep them out of the room the snake is kept in. Is this irresponsible? Might contact with the cats (through the terrarium wall, of course) stress out the snake?
- On a similar note, how ethical is it to keep an animal like this in captivity? Do they get depressed, or require stimulation? I've only ever had mammalian pets who have generally been happy as long as they have companionship, so I'm not sure if reptiles 'think' differently. I wouldn't want to be responsible for a suicidally depressed snake.
- Finally, are there any general resources you can direct me to?
For the record, we understand that a snake is a long-term commitment, and we are not squeamish about feeding it. There is a reputable reptile-only store with very knowledgeable staff about 45 minutes from where we live, and we would probably go there if/when we decide to get it.
Thanks so much, everyone :)

To answer your questions in order, corn snakes and ball pythons are both pretty mellow and low maintenance; they're fairly healthy and easy to handle, as are rosy boas.
Keeping the cats out of the room where the snakes are kept is definitely advisable, and contact with the cats may or may not be stressful to the snake, although as long as you can keep the cats off the
of the terrarium, the snake will probably be fine.
I don't think it's unethical to keep snakes, and they don't tend to be a species that requires a lot of stimulation. Of the many types of good reptile pet, they're probably the most mellow, the most interested in just chilling out and sleeping. If anything, they can be on the boring side, whereas turtles are sort of bumbling and cute and lizards can range from silly hams to amusingly grouchy curmudgeons. The foreseeable problem with your question is that even in the wild, a snake's behavior could be mistaken for depression; "Come out and play," call his friends, but the snake replies, "No man, I just want to sleep on this rock for about 10 hours, but you guys go ahead without me."

My son has had a California King Snake in his room for about 5 years. They aren't so much pets as decorative accessories that you have to feed once a week or so. I don't mean that in a bad way, just that you shouldn't expect to have the normal "pet" relationship with a snake that you might with a dog, cat, or whatever.
IMO, snakes barely think at all. They are pretty much instinct driven, with a nervous system not that much more advanced than that of an insect. As long as the terrarium is large enough to not stress them physically, and allow for some temperature variation so they can regulate their body temp, you keep the living quarters clean, and you keep them fed, I think they are about as happy as a snake is going to be. I would go with a snake raised on frozen rodents. Easier on you, and quite frankly, easier on the snake. Captivity doesn't really provide optimum hunting grounds, and being confined in a small area gives a scared rodent the chance to do some damage to your snake.
But they are fascinating creatures - especially at feeding time. And don't discount the educational aspect of learning to respect and even like reptiles. A lot of people have a very irrational fear of snakes. Anything you can do to help negate that by owning one is a net pus for snakes.

Husband has owned both corn snakes and a ball python. In his experience, corn snakes are much more active, and ball pythons just sort of curl up in a ball. The ball python ended up being not very rewarding as a pet, but the corn snakes would roam around the terrarium all the time. YMMV, of course.

Ball pythons can be a bit of a crap shoot in that if you buy one that was farmed, rather than captive-bred, it may not be as easy to get feeding. Ball pythons feed on gerboas in the wild and don't necessarily recognize domestic mice and rats as food; captive-bred ones aren't as problematic. If you decide on a ball python, make sure it's feeding. I kept a ball python for a few years; it was a trick to get it feeding (and it
captive-bred: I hatched the eggs myself for the breeder), but after that it was fine. It was, however, extremely shy. A snake to handle but not so much to observe in its cage.
There are no significant issues with corn snakes in general (though individual snakes can, like with any other animal, be another story). In fact, corn snakes are pretty much the ideal pet snake. They don't get too large, they're generally tame and handleable, they're robustly healthy in captivity as a rule, they don't give you much trouble at feeding time, and -- most of all -- they don't cost very much.
In fact, I'd go so far as to argue that your first snake should
be a corn snake. It's my default answer. Sure, you could make a case for other species, but there's usually one or two areas where corn snakes have the advantage. So, when in doubt, and unless you have your heart set on something really specific that's close enough (like you have an irrational fixation on Baird's rat snakes, or are smitten by black pine snakes, or can't get enough of rosy boas -- all of which, by the way, are lovely), go with corn snakes.
Cats and snakes. Since we have always had both, I can speak to this question. Generally speaking, cats get over the novelty of snakes over time -- but then we've been bringing kittens into a home that already had snake cages. In the meantime, will the snakes get stressed? Yes. I have a corn snake and a Baird's rat snake that are the gentlest creatures ever -- in more than a decade, they have never bitten anyone, and they've struck at the cats when they sat next to the cage or on the lid. Snakes know what cats can do -- namely, nom on small animals. I think, however, that concerns about stress in snakes are a bit overstated, especially with corn snakes. An encounter with a cat will not be enough for it to go off its food for months at a time.
Ethical concerns are generally moot: snakes simply aren't that smart. They're not social animals. They don't need attention -- period. In fact, I'd argue that there are more ethical concerns with keeping birds and mammals than there are with keeping reptiles, amphibians or fish -- there's more brain to damage. (Having said that, they're quite a bit more intelligent than an insect. Let's not go overboard here.) I'm vaguely uncomfortable with what happens to the personalities of social animals like parrots, who
company, bonding with people because they have no other option.
General resources. Melissa Kaplan's site is a bit dated by now, but it's still good, I think:
here's the snake section
. Otherwise, there are a number of books out there on snake care in general and corn snake care in particular; go ahead and read as many of them as you can. I'm serious: read 'em all -- it'll give you a sense of what else is out there, even if you've decided on corn snakes or ball pythons. Barron's and Advanced Vivarium Systems each have lines of pet guides aimed at beginners. (But don't bother with the ones from TFH Publications: they're not that informative.) One specific recommendation I will make is a general guide to snake health:
What's Wrong with My Snake?
That book you

Any other questions?

Okay, I'm late to this one, but then, I only just signed up. But this is a question I am qualified to answer, so I shall give my opinions.
Corn snakes and ball pythons are both great. Which would be better for you depends on what you're looking for in a pet snake. Corns are slender, quicker, and less inclined to just hang out with/on you, whereas ball pythons are rather thick snakes, though still small, and tend to be a lot more relaxed. They're good "cuddle-snakes". Some corns will curl up in your pocket or around your neck while you work or watch TV or read, but only one of mine does, and that one only occasionally. They tend to prefer to explore. Both corns and ball pythons come in a variety of color morphs, but corn morphs are cheaper. (And, in my opinion, prettier. But then, I have 5 corns and no ball pythons, so I am a bit biased.) Both species often spend a lot of time hiding, especially during the day. But both species are very docile and easily socialized to enjoy, or at least put up with, being handled.
I obviously don't see any ethical concerns with keeping snakes, as long as you provide them with a proper environment-- appropriately-sized cage, hides, UTH on a thermostat, correct substrate, big enough water bowl, enough cover, things to climb on, et cetera. They don't seem to mind it. I have a couple of corns who seem to actively want to come out and play. They climb into my hand when I reach into the cage, perfectly aware that I am going to take them out. I also have a carpet python who slithers into my sweater or under the covers with me and curls up for an hour or more. Once they start to trust you, you become a warm tree to explore. They seem to enjoy it, but it's true that they don't *need* interaction.
It sounds like you might benefit from more personal experience with various species of snake before you decide what kind is right for you. Are there any herp societies or reptile shows in your area? You can find this stuff easily through google. Either of those will enable you to handle some snakes before you buy one, and get to know the species better.
I would like to put forth the strong suggestion that when you are ready to buy a snake, you find a reputable breeder and purchase from them. Pet stores are notorious in the reptile community for not taking care of their animals, and often not even knowing how to. Not all of them are like that, of course, but many are. And you don't want to get a snake with mites or an upper respiratory tract infection, especially not as your first. Breeders are easy to find, and you can check the Board of Inquiry at faunaclassifieds.com to see how other people have reviewed them.
Cats and snakes-- I keep mine separate. I know lots of people who don't. But I prefer to, because I love both my cats and my snakes, and I really kinda hate the idea of one of my babies killing another out of nothing but instinct.
I don't know about resources for ball pythons, but I do know that cornsnakes.com is an absolutely wonderful site. All of your questions will be answered there. Also, Kathy Love's book on corns is really, really good.
Good luck! If you have any questions at all, feel free to MeMail me-- I can't shut up about snakes, so I might as well tell it to someone who's interested. They're really amazing animals. I think you'll enjoy them a great deal.

Oh, sorry, I missed the part where you said you already knew where you would probably get the snake. If it's a good store, you're definitely in luck! I've never lived in a town where there was a good one, though I've been to a couple I wished I lived near. I still recommend going to an expo, though. They're both educational and fun!

World Premiere of Murder by Poe at Kean University
UNION, N.J. Kean University's Professional Theatre Series will present the world premiere of The Acting Company's production of Murder by Poe, a play by Jeffrey Hatcher that weaves together four Edgar Allen Poe tales into a tapestry of revenge, suicide, obsession and murder.
Production dates and times are Saturday, November 22, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, November 23, at 3 p.m., in Wilkins Theatre, located on the main campus at 1000 Morris Avenue, Union, N.J. Tickets are $25 for the general public, $19 for senior citizens, and $15 for students. For more information, or to reserve tickets, call the Box Office at 908-737-SHOW (7469).
Murder by Poe takes place in a remote mansion on a dark and stormy night.
A traveler arrives to seek shelter and encounters four others who have
found their way to this desolate place. As they wait out the storm, each
tells how they came to the same room, and every story has to do with murder.
Derived from Poe's classic short stories The Tell Tale Heart,
The Black Cat, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The
Mystery of Marie Roget, the play is a meditation on mystery, creativity,
love and death.

TEAMS: New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers
Via Halestorm Sports:
Everyone loves the NBA playoffs. Even fans who complain about the attitude of the players and whine about their millon dollar salaries find themselves captivated by the intensity of the action. When the action rachets so too does the scrutiny. Legacies are defined and the fate of players are forever sealed during the 16 team tournament.
It is only fitting that some of the greatest assaults on the rim came courtesy of playoff basketball. I tried to factor in the magnitude of the game and contrast that with the caliber of player that was dunked on. So obviously dunking on a great shot blocker is a more noteworthy accomplishment than dunking on a back up small forward. This was a hard list to narrow down, so I know many of you will bring up many other dunks, but once again I could only name the top 11.
To the list:
1. Scottie Pippen over Patrick Ewing:
Scottie Pippen's greatness was overshadowed by that other famous Chicago Bull, but there is no denying that this is one of the greatest plays, let alone dunks in NBA history. Considering the rivalry that had brewed over three seasons of meeting in the playoffs, the physical nature of the games and the Hall of Fame player he dunked over, this had to be number one.
The fact that Pippen finished the dunk by standing over the defeated Ewing and then telling famed filmmaker and resident Knick super fan Spike Lee to sit down and shut up was the perfect bow up on top.
2. Kevin Johnson over Hakeem Olajuwon:
Although he is now the mayor of Sacramento (and doing his best to keep his hometown Kings in Sactown), he was one of the most explosive point guards of his era. You have to put this dunk into context. Olajuwon had up to that point, eight blocked shots and he had changed countless others. So, KJ had enough of the tear drop and double pump attempts, he took the fire to the dragon. It was one of the most memorable dunks in playoff history. Yes, that is current TNT analyst Kenny 'The Jet' Smith with an s-curl whom KJ drives around.
3. Baron Davis over Andrei Kirilenko:
This was the jump up and text all your friends type dunk. Baron went around Deron Williams with ease and exploded to the rim with the vengeance of Nat Turner. The funniest thing about the clip to me is Baron showing off his girdle. That moment to me exemplified his entire career. Such vast athletic brilliance wasted by a beer gut.
4. Dr J over Michael Cooper/Bill Walton:
Your favorite player's favorite player. Dr. Julius Erving, the original arial wizard in NBA history rightfully gets multiple dunks. Look here as he soars over defensive stalwart Michael Cooper and Luke Walton's father, legendary Dead Head Bill Walton. There was another incredible dunk he had against Portland in the finals that I couldn't find.
5. Michael Jordan over Patrick Ewing
This is the only time on any list you will see Scottie Pippen's name above Michael's. Long before MJ was rocking a weird mustache and sporting pleated Jeans, he was the single baddest man on the planet. Look here as he reverse spin dribbles on two Knick defenders and then kiss the rim dunks (with his elbow) all over poor Patrick Ewing. Respect.
6. Shawn Kemp over Alton Lister:
Long before he was a contestant on reality tv, Shawn Kemp defied gravity. Blake Griffin and Amare Stoudimire are just following in the footsteps of the Reign Man. Look how he cups the ball and dunks on his way down, then gives Lister the pointers. Kemp would have been thrown out of the game in todays hyper-sensitive NBA. Chris Mullin smartly never even contemplated trying to take that charge.
7. T Mac over Shawn Bradley:
While he never reached his vast potential, there is no denying T mac's enormous talent. Here he goes baseline and engulfs resident poster victim 7'6 Shawn Bradley. Plays like this make you mad that he never seemingly wanted to be as great as we all thought he could be.
8. John Starks over the Bulls:
The shocking thing about this dunk was Starks was a new player on the scene. Pat Riley is notorious for finding gems from the CBA/D League like Anthony Mason and Bruce Bowen just to name a few. Starks may have been his greatest find. The explosive (in more ways than one) shooting guard from Tulsa, Oklahoma, announced his presence on the scene with a left handed kiss the rim dunk over two Bull players including His Airness (sorta).
9.Clyde Drexler over Bill Cartwright:
Clyde was one of the highest flyers the NBA has ever seen. I would compare him to D Wade in many ways. On this play he took one hop step and exploded over Bill Cartwright in the NBA finals. Portland ultimately went on to lose to the Bulls, but CLyde left his mark. Thankfully for "The Glide" Twitter did not exist in his playing day because his hairline would have been a trending topic for six months.
10. Grant Hill over Alonzo Mourning:
This dunk may shock some people. You see Grant now as the old man jogging up and down the court and can't imagine he ever threw down. But long before his many foot surgeries Grant was one of the five best players in the world. Right before this play, he and the always angry Alonzo Mourning (think Kendrick Perkins's uncle) had to be separated at midcourt after exchanging pleasantries. So this dunk was extra special for Grant as he got the final word on Alonzo.
11. Kevin Durant over Brendan Haywood:
Just last season, the three-time scoring champ took flight over the lead-footed Haywood and threw down all over him and his immediate family. I think this dunk gave Durant confidence in attacking the rim, because this season he has posterized more players than he did in his previous four seasons combined.

text: Pinching those not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day is an American tradition, having really nothing to do with Ireland or St. Patrick. It's thought that the pinching started in the early 1700s, about the time that awareness of St. Patrick's as a holiday came to the fore, too, in Boston, in the Massachusetts colony. They thought if you wore green, it made you invisible to the Leprechauns, which was good because they would pinch anyone they could see. So the pinching is to warn and remind you about the Leprechauns.Copied for posterity, and ease of review.

Committed to labeling Indiana schools with letter grades of A-F, the Indiana General Assembly passed legislation last week to place the grading system in state law. In the interest of fair play, what follows is a report card for the lawmakers' own performance, graded on the curve.
Roads and highways: A
Credit where credit is due: Veteran lawmakers recognized a looming problem and did the right thing. The budget earmarks more than $215 million in new road funding each year for the next two fiscal years. Cities, counties and towns will receive about $100 million of that amount – the first increase in road funding for local units of government in more than a decade. Legislators wisely shifted $135 million in fuel taxes now going to the Indiana State Police and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and put it into road repair.
They also set aside $200 million a year for a new Major Moves 2020 Fund. It will be used for major road projects. Their work on infrastructure funding might be the most important economic development work they accomplished.
Sentencing reform: B
This one is graded on the curve, allowing for the difficulty of the task. Lawmakers can't win on this issue. Any effort to address the state's burgeoning prison population was certain to draw complaints that lawmakers are being soft on crime. In the end, they added two levels of felonies and sentencing options that include serving time in county jails, community corrections, home monitoring and other alternatives to prison. They also gave the criminal justice system time to accommodate the changes, which go into effect July 1, 2014.
After years of incomplete work, it's a decent performance.
Social issues: B-
Yes, the General Assembly continued its assault on women's reproductive health rights, but legislative leaders earn extra credit for corralling conservative new members who likely would have hammered away at many more individual rights.
The new anti-abortion law, requiring clinics that administer the abortion-inducing drug RU-486 to meet surgical standards, even if they don't offer surgical abortions, is likely to be challenged in court. Another new law requires that doctors give women seeking an abortion color pamphlets with photos of a fetus at various stages of development.
On the plus side, leadership squelched efforts to allow prayer in school and creationism instruction. They postponed an inevitably bruising fight over efforts to write Indiana's gay marriage ban into the state constitution, even as support for gay marriage grows.
Leadership also resisted the knee-jerk reaction to the Newtown, Conn., tragedy. They turned a plan to arm teachers in schools into a grant program for schools to hire more trained law enforcement. A bill that would have mandated drug tests for welfare recipients also died, apparently out of concern for children who might lose aid because of a parent's actions. Also killed was a guns-on-campus bill.
Well done.
Education: D-
After employing a reset button and cutting $300 million in school funding in 2009, this was supposed to be the year Republican legislators hit the pause button on education reform. They failed. They expanded the already-expansive school voucher program, without any evidence that the program is showing positive results and knowing that some families are using taxpayer dollars to enroll their children in F-rated private schools. They dropped the argument about giving students a chance to escape failing schools and instead argued it was all about choice – even poor choices, apparently. Vouchers will now be available to students whose siblings are receiving a voucher, those who are attending a public school that earns an F and special education students currently enrolled in private schools.
They also slipped in a budget provision that allows anyone with a bachelor's degree and a passing score on a subject matter test to qualify for the transition to teaching program. Superintendents will no longer need a teacher's license to lead an Indiana school district. So much for higher standards.
Medicaid expansion: I (for incomplete)
Along with an income-tax cut, new Gov. Mike Pence wasn't giving in on his insistence that the Healthy Indiana Plan serve as the platform for expanding health care coverage. A more pragmatic contingent of lawmakers, however, realized that rejecting the incentives offered in the Affordable Care Act could prove costly to Hoosiers. Indiana hospital officials say that $10.5 billion is available in federal aid through the new health care law, along with thousands of jobs.
For now, the Medicaid-expansion decision remains in the governor's hands, with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reviewing Indiana's application to expand HIP coverage to another 400,000 Hoosiers. Even if approved, an equal number of residents would remain without health care coverage – making Indiana the island of the uninsured, as some lawmakers argued.
If necessary, lawmakers could revisit the issue on their Organization Day this November, in advance of the Jan. 1 deadline for extending coverage. That might raise their overall grade-point average.
Budget: C+
This task should have been the equivalent of taking an automatic A class. With a supermajority in each chamber, Republican leadership's only hurdles were within its own ranks, where squabbling over various issues almost derailed Speaker Brian Bosma's plan to adjourn early. The $30 billion budget delivered the tax cuts promised, even if a Ball State survey late last year showed Hoosiers preferred investing a state surplus in job creation and education over a tax cut.
The personal income tax rate falls from 3.4 percent to 3.3 percent in 2015. For a household earning $50,000 a year, it's a paltry $1 a week.
Job creation: I
Another incomplete. Job creation should have been the session's top priority, according to that Ball State survey. But for all the talk about jobs, little was actually accomplished. New legislation creates a committee to develop a strategic plan to improve the state's education, jobs skills and career-training systems. It's the sort of effort likely to produce nothing of value. A plan to create regional works councils to craft alternatives for career, technical and vocational educational opportunities will work only if those currently providing career and technical education guide the effort. If the process is controlled by business interests seeking job-training funds, any long-term economic value is lost.
The lost opportunity in job creation might turn out to be the session's greatest failure. Indiana's 8.7 percent unemployment rate is higher than that of all its neighboring states, including recession-worn Michigan. Per-capita wages continue to lag other states. Eventually, Hoosiers are going to realize Indiana isn't the economic development wonderland its leaders claim to have created.

To whom it may concern,
I think National Train Day was a JOKE for some cities, for example the Oceanside Train station, where your website advertised saying the 2 locations in Southern California where National Train day was celebrated was Los Angeles and Oceanside. I tried to find out more about the events taking place but Amtrak was not very specific. My wife and I traveled from Mission Viejo down to Oceanside (about a 1 hour drive) only to find NOTHING! We asked around and were told by your Amtrak personnel that only a small goodie bag was offered and that there were no exhibits, model train displays, train car exhibits, etc and that if we wanted to see them, we would have to go to the Los Angeles train station! My question to Amtrak is, why did you advertise Oceanside as an event city then? And if there were changes to the itinerary of events, why didn't you POST it on your website? I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the way you handled this event. And I wasn't the only one who showed up and saw nothing.....several others showed-up as well and were very disappointed and mad that nothing was going on in Oceanside! This was handled VERY poorly by your management and I for one have lost faith in Amtrak's ability to organize itself for anything!! I will no longer be a participant in these events UNTIL Amtrak gets their #$%^ together and plans an event properly! I also feel that Amtrak should compensate me and others for all the time, gas and effort for getting down to Oceanside only to find out nothing was going on. I ask that Amtrak management contact me about this and explain why this happened but I feel this posting will get IGNORED and that I wasted my time.

Cowboys' Livings to have knee surgery
Oxnard, CA (Sports Network) - The Dallas Cowboys announced Friday that guard Nate Livings is scheduled to undergo a scope on his ailing right knee, a procedure that could put his status for the season opener in question.
Livings, a 16-game starter at left guard last year, had surgery on the same knee in February and had just returned to practice after missing some time with a cut on his foot.
The seven-year veteran, who signed a five-year, $18.7 million free-agent deal with Dallas prior to last season, is expected to be sidelined anywhere from 2- to-4 weeks. The Cowboys begin their regular season Sept. 8 against the New York Giants.
Livings' injury is the latest blow to a Dallas offensive line that's had several members down during camp. Right guard Mackenzy Bernadeau remains on the active/physically unable to perform list due to a hamstring strain, while reserve guards Ryan Cook (back) and Kevin Kowalski (knee) and tackles Jermey Parnell (hamstring) and Demetress Bell (conditioning) are not currently practicing as well.
The Cowboys are also presently without defensive end and franchise player Anthony Spencer, who had a knee scope of his own performed last week, and nose tackle Jay Ratliff (hamstring/PUP).

Signal problems at two spots in the Loop caused delays on the CTA's Orange, Brown, Pink, Green, and Purple Line trains Thursday morning.
The signal problems occurred at the Van Buren/Wabash and Lake/Wells junctions, a CTA alert said.
Purple Line Express trains were rerouted to the Brown Line (outer platforms) in the Loop only, the alert said.
Some Pink Line trains were being turned back at Ashland/Lake to 54th/Cermak because of a backlog of trains going into the Loop.
By about 8:40 a.m. service had been restored to normal and the reroutes were canceled, but riders were advised to expect some residual delays and longer than normal wait times for trains in all directions because of the backlog.

Congressman Denham Statement on House Passage of "Require a PLAN Act"
WASHINGTON, DC —U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) issued the following statement today after the House passed the "Require a PLAN Act":
"Until we can all agree on a plan that balances the budget and gets our country back on track, we're hurting not only the almost 14% in the Valley who are unemployed, but everyone looking to build a better future for themselves and their families. We have an obligation to those we represent to put aside our differences and work together to balance our budget, create jobs and end the crushing debt we're passing on to our children and grandchildren."

She is seriously an amazing and motivating tutor. She has shown me quick "how to" tricks for solving different types of equations so its easy for me to retain the information we study. She is extremely flexible with days and times to come and always works around my schedule so that makes it even better. I look forward to continuing our sessions throughout my next semester.
Elena was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I learned very quickly with Elena, she is an excellent tutor.
Spencer is so pleased with Elena. We only hope that he will retain the lesson instructions that she continues to give. He seems to be more positive about learning math. Elena has lifted his esteem for math.

A Systematic Review of Head-to-Head Comparison Studies of the Roland-Morris and Oswestry Measures' Abilities to Assess Change

Committee Member
Gregory Spadoni
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal condition that can lead to pain, functional limitations and disability. Due to the prevalence of LBP, multiple self-reported outcome measures have been developed, which have resulted in redundancy in the literature. Two frequently used outcome measures are the Roland Morris Questionnaire (RMQ) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Few authors have performed head-to-head comparison studies to determine which of these outcome measures are the most successful at measuring sensitivity to change. The purpose of this thesis was to answer the question: Is there a difference in the sensitivity to change between the RMQ and the ODI in their ability to measure pain-related functional status in persons with low back pain?
The first part of this thesis involves a systematic review of head-to-head comparison studies to determine the difference in the sensitivity to change of the RMQ and the ODI. Five databases were searched and nine articles were located. The second part of this thesis entails the development of a quality criteria form to evaluate head-to-head comparison studies.
The third aspect of this research was to perform a head-to-head comparison study of the RMQ and the ODI using data from the nine studies. A small but significant difference was noted in favour of the RMQ in terms of the Spearman rank correlation coefficient between its change scores and the reference standard (Z = 2.36, p = 0.018; Z = 3.28, p = 0.001) and also in the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve area (X21 = 8.58, p = 0.003).

Nissan launch fuels Britain's car industry revival
Journalists attend a reception to showcase the latest generation of Nissan's Qashqai range of crossover cars at the Baltic gallery in Gateshead, northeast England, on January 21, 2014 - by Leon Neal
The second-generation version of the car is being built at Nissan's main European plant in Sunderland, northeastern England, boosting employment at Britain's biggest car plant.
The Qashqai, designed in Nissan's London headquarters and originally launched in 2006, is a crossover that combines elements of a sports utility vehicle and a hatchback, and is the Japanese firm's best-selling car in Europe.
"The Nissan Qashqai blazed a trail when we started production in 2006," Nissan's chief performance officer Trevor Mann told journalists gathered at a launch event in Sunderland on Wednesday.
"It invented the crossover segment, propelled the Nissan brand in Europe to a new level and helped our plant in Sunderland to set new standards in productivity and quality."
Nissan hand-picked Sunderland in 1984 as the location for the facility, which now makes four different models -- the Leaf, the Note, the Juke and the Qashqai -- and has produced a total of one million vehicles over the last two years.
Since the Qashqai was launched, around 1.75 million units have rolled off the production line at Sunderland.
Nissan, partner of France's Renault, boasts that the facility now produces one Qashqai every 61 seconds and exports the crossover car to 132 countries across the globe.
"We have sold Qashqais made in Sunderland to customers from Abu Dhabi to the Congo, from Bermuda to Burkina Faso," added Mann.
"Looking ahead, within the next year this new model will take (total) Qashqai production at Sunderland beyond 2.0 million in eight years -- and this will be another new record for the UK car industry."
This week's launch will create another 500 jobs at the plant, where the total workforce will top 7,000 for the first time.
"We have a big factory, it's competitive, it builds good quality (and) it's cost effective," said Kevin Fitzpatrick, VP manufacturing for Nissan in the UK.
He added: "It has been quite a year for us here in Sunderland. Twelve months ago we were celebrating setting a new production record (for 2012), as we became the first UK car plant ever to make more than 500,000 units in one year."
Britain's long-troubled car industry appears to be flourishing once again, with the help of foreign-owned automakers like Japanese pair Nissan and Toyota, and Indian-owned Jaguar Land Rover.
Car production in Britain accelerated by 3.1 percent in 2013 to just over 1.5 million vehicles, which was the highest level since 2007, industry data showed this week.
Industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) added on Thursday that experts predict that the sector's annual car output could reach record levels of 2.0 million vehicles by 2017.
That would beat Britain's long-standing record of 1.92 million cars that was set in 1972 in the nation's car-making heyday.
The SMMT meanwhile forecasts that Britain could be on course to become the second biggest car manufacturer in Europe, behind only Germany.
"By 2017/2018, we may be making more passenger cars in the UK than we've ever done before and be second only to Germany in Europe in total car production," said SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes.
New car registrations in Britain jumped last year to 2.265 million, which was also the highest level for six years, according to the SMMT.
"2013 demonstrated the value of the UK's diverse car manufacturing industry, as surging home demand and robust exports outside Europe saw output grow 3.1 percent to over 1.5 million units," added Hawes.
"UK automotive investment announcements exceeded £2.5 billion in 2013, reinforcing industry analysts' suggestions that the UK could break all-time car output records within the next four years."
