February 2013 Research Spotlight: Jessica Merlin
Dr. Jessica Merlin's paper entitled "Pain, Mood, and Substance Abuse in HIV: Implications for Clinic Visit Utilization, Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence, and Virologic Failure", published in Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, has been selected as the Department of Medicine's paper of the month for Feburary 2013.
Dr. Jessica Merlin received her MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. She went on to complete a residency in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in Infectious Diseases at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and a fellowship in Palliative Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. She is currently an Assistant Professor with joint appointments in the Divisions of Infectious Diseases and Gerontology, Geriatrics, and Palliative Care. Her clinical work includes directing the 1917 HIV/Palliative Care clinic, which cares for many HIV-infected patients with chronic pain.
Dr. Merlin's research focus is on HIV and chronic pain, especially in patients with psychiatric and substance abuse comorbidities. In September 2012, she received a K12 career development award to adapt, pilot, and begin to validate a Brief Chronic Pain Screening tool in HIV-infected patients, and conduct qualitative interviews to learn more about the pain experience in HIV-infected patients. Her long-term interests are in understanding the relationship between chronic pain, alone and in the context of psychiatric illness and substance abuse, and HIV outcomes, and developing interventions to manage chronic pain in HIV-infected patients.
January 2013 Research Spotlight: Dr. Jie Xu & Dr. Dongmei Sun
Dr. Jie Xu & Dr. Dongmei Sun's paper entitled "The Role of Prolactin Receptor in GH Signaling in Breast Cancer Cells", published in Molecular Endocrinology, has been selected as the Department of Medicine's paper of the month for January 2013.
Jie Xu obtained her MD degree and a Master's in Clinical Oncology from Wuhan University School of Medicine, China. She obtained a Ph.D. in Pathology from UAB, followed by postdoctoral fellowship and residency in Pathology also at UAB where she is currently a PGY-3 resident in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology. Dr. Jie Xu is the recipient of several awards and training grants and the first author or co-author of many publications. She has presented her research findings in several national meetings. Her major research interests are in the area of molecular endocrinology.
Dongmei Sun received her bachelor degree from the East China University of Science and Technology in Shanghai China, and her PhD in Cell Biology from the University of University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2010. She is currently a Research Associate in the Division of Endocrinology of Department of Medicine.
The focus of Dr. Stuart Frank's research is understanding mechanisms of action of growth hormone (GH), an important metabolic and growth promoting hormone. In particular, we are interested in various aspects of GH receptor (GHR) structure and signal transduction. Our studies have examined the interaction of the GHR with a critical non-receptor cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, JAK2, which is required for initiation of GHR signaling. We have explored the downstream signaling pathways (STAT, MAP kinase, and PI-3 kinase) activated by GH and their effects on GH-induced gene expression. Further, we are interested in the cellular determinants of sensitivity to GH and modulation of GHR availability and function.
December 2012 Research Spotlight: Dr. Yan Sanders
Dr. Yan Sanders' paper entitled "Altered DNA methylation profile in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis", published in the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine, has been selected as the Department of Medicine's paper of the month for December 2012.
Dr. Yan Sanders received her M.D. from Hunan Medical University, China, and M.S. in Pathology from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the National Center for Toxicological Research before she joined UAB. She is currently an assistant professor in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Medicine.
Dr. Sanders' main research interests are on the epigenetics aspects of pulmonary fibrosis, mainly the roles of histone modifications and DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Her research projects include examining the effects of histone modifiers on fibrotic lung fibroblasts and determining the epigenetic alterations in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) fibrotic foci. Current work has been focused on exploring the epigenetic mechanisms of aging in the pathogenesis of IPF.
November 2012 Research Spotlight: Dr. Xiaoli Li & Dr. Julie Baskin
Dr. Xiaoli Li & Dr. Julie Baskin's paper entitled "The Unique Cytoplasmic Domain of Human FcγRIIIA Regulates Receptor-Mediated Function", published in the Journal of Immunology has been selected as the Department's paper of the month for November 2012.
Dr. Xiaoli Li obtained a diploma in Biochemistry and a Master's in virology both from Wuhan University, China. In 1992 he obtained a Ph.D. in Immunology from UAB. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Cleveland Clinic Foundation and a year as Instructor at Rush Medical Center, he returned to UAB where he joined Dr. Kimberly's group. He is currently Assistant Professor in the Division of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology.
Dr. Li's current work combines the use of functional genomic analysis and high content multi-chromatic flow cytometry analyses to understand the effects of natural gene polymorphisms of FcγR genes, their unique regulation, and the associated down-stream signaling events in SLE autoimmunity.
Dr. Baskin received a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1980, her M.S. in Biology from Georgetown University in 1982, and her Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1991.

Health and Wellness Center #1
The expansion of a health education organization called for the renovation of two existing, circa-1900-1930 ordinary construction-type buildings. The result was a thoughtfully designed facility that houses general health, drug abuse prevention, and family life education programs.
The 14,450-square-foot, single-story building serves as a storefront to the facility and contains a gift shop, auditorium, and three classrooms.
The adjacent 1,950-square-foot-per-floor, three-story building is a renovated apartment complex. Public toilets and circulation functions occupy its first floor, while the second and third floors accommodate the administrative offices. The basements of both buildings are utilized as mechanical, storage, and exhibit repair.
Health and Wellness Center #2
The scope of this project was to transform a former retail facility into a public health unit. The existing 26,400-square-foot building was gutted, leaving only the footprint and shell.
It houses a woman-infant-child clinic, communicable disease care, pharmacy, vital statistics suite, record-keeping and staff area, administration area, conference rooms, and a large multi-purpose meeting room that can easily be converted into an emergency operations center.
Each department has its own lobby and reception area. The building is designed for interior expansion into a 2,000-square-foot area currently used for storage. An interconnecting hallway among the departments allows total access and easy communication.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — One look at Paul Gaylord's hands shows why the plague is referred to as "Black Death."
The welder's once-strong hands have been withered by the cell-killing infection and darkened to the color of charcoal. Doctors are waiting to see if they can save a portion of his fingers, but the outlook is grim for the man who needs them for his livelihood.
"I don't think I can do my job," Gaylord said in a phone interview from a Bend, Ore., hospital. "I'm going to lose all my fingers on both hands. I don't know about my thumbs. The toes — I might lose all them, too."
Gaylord, who turns 60 next month, contracted a rare case of the plague trying to take a mouse from the jaws of a choking cat at his home in Prineville, in rural Oregon.
He faces a difficult recovery now that he's out of intensive care. His family is trying to raise money to get him into a new house, because the manufactured home he was living in has a leaky roof, a moldy bathroom and mice — dangerous living conditions for a man with a weakened immune system.
"We didn't even know the plague was around anymore," said his sister, Diana Gaylord. "We thought that was an ancient, ancient disease."
The bacterium that causes the plague is carried by fleas, which can infect people and animals. The disease that killed millions in the Middle Ages is extremely rare in current times — an average of seven cases occur in the U.S. each year.
Gaylord's illness began after he saw a stray cat — who he'd named Charlie — with a dead mouse jammed in the back of his throat. The cat appeared to be choking, so Gaylord and a friend attempted to dislodge the mouse.
The distressed cat bit his hand. Unable to remove the mouse, Gaylord shot Charlie to end his suffering and buried him in the yard.
Two days later, he awoke with a fever and chills.
An Army veteran who rarely visits a doctor, Gaylord felt sick enough to go to the Veterans Administration outpatient clinic in nearby Bend. But the clinic had so many patients that doctors couldn't see him for more than a week.
The next day, Gaylord, who doesn't have private health insurance, went to an urgent care clinic. The doctor diagnosed cat scratch fever, provided him with medicine and told him to return if his condition worsened.
He was back a few days later. Diana Gaylord said her brother dripped with sweat and his lymph nodes swelled.
"He had a lump under his arm swollen almost as big as a lemon," she said.
A doctor at the urgent care clinic sent him in an ambulance to St. Charles Medical Center in Redmond. There, a doctor diagnosed the plague, and Gaylord was taken to a larger hospital in Bend.
Gaylord spent nearly a month on life support and only recently left the intensive care unit. At one point, doctors thought he was going to die, said Debbie Gaylord, his wife.
A hospital chaplain baptized the unconscious patient and Gaylord's son, Jake, arrived from Austin, Texas, to say goodbye.
Hours later, doctors told his family that he had improved.
"Jake got here and all of sudden the next morning he started getting better," said Andrea Gibb, Gaylord's niece. "The doctors were like kids in a candy store. They were so excited."
Gaylord's case is Oregon's fifth since 1995. None has been fatal.
The cat's body was dug up, and tests confirmed it had the plague. Other cats and dogs in the area were tested and none had the disease, said Karen Yeargain of the Crook County Health Department.
Several of Gaylord's relatives were given preventive antibiotics and will have blood drawn for further tests.
Gaylord is slowly getting better. He is now able to take strolls through the hospital with the aid of a walker, and the family hopes he can return home by October.
The family intends to build a small house on the spot where the manufactured home now stands, using donations.
Debbie Gaylord said she and her husband have never been churchgoing types, but that might change when he comes home.
"We do our praying the way we do it. But now, I don't know. We might have to rethink the church," she said.
Odd Cat-Mouse Incident Strikes Oregon Man with Plague

Just a comment: I wish that the property owner(s) had envisioned a more vast floor plan (e.g., three bedrooms). In talking with other tenants, the ONLY reason they moved was because their family outgrew the two bedrooms. If this were a three bedroom, we would stay here forever!

Can You Really Make Whipped Cream with Just a Mason Jar?
Putting Tips to the Test in The Kitchn
Can it really be possible to make homemade whipped cream with just a mason jar?
No tired arm from whisking. No lugging the stand mixer out just to make a few dollops of whipped cream. No beaters to wash, or immersion blender to clean. Instead, there's a method as simple as pouring whipping cream in a jar, sealing the lid nice & tight and giving it a good shake. Kind of sounds too good to be true, right?!
The Original Tip
I first read this tip, written by Chris Scheuer, in Parade Magazine. Although, a quick Google search for mason jar whipped cream yields quite a few results, as well.
Tired of canned whipped cream, Chris began making her own simply by shaking it up in a mason jar. She recommends placing a mason jar in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes beforehand, then adding heavy cream (sugar and vanilla, optional, depending on your sweet tooth), and shaking the jar vigorously for 5 to 6 minutes.
→ Read the original tip: 5-Minute Fresh Whipped Cream in a Mason Jar at Parade Magazine
The Testing Method
To test this method, I opted to skip placing the mason jar in the freezer. Instead, I filled a room temperature mason jar about halfway full with 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream, a pinch of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I screwed the lid on the jar, and started vigorously shaking.
The Results
Light and fluffy whipped cream in less than 60 seconds!
I read a number of accounts that mention this method taking anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. I tried this method several times (it still seemed too good to be true after the first try!) and it took me no longer than 45 seconds to go from liquidy cream to perfect dessert topping. Perhaps my excitement got the best of me and I'm an especially vigorous shaker.
Other methods recommend adding the sugar and vanilla as the cream begins to thicken. This works equally well. I prefer adding everything in the beginning just to keep things simple.
Verdict: This is a mind-blowing tip!
Final Notes
I found a new go-to method for making whipped cream, for sure! It's quick, easy and there's barely any clean up. I also love that the mason jar also serves as a storage container if you have any leftovers.
This method is especially wonderful to use while you're traveling! So, if you're planning on doing any cooking during your summer vacation, I highly recommend packing a mason jar….dessert is always better with homemade whipped cream!
Have you ever tried making whipped cream in a mason jar?

Battez la crème....
Oh, la crème fraîche
Qu'on fouette gaiement
Parfum vanille, un peu de sucre blanc
On l'aime à la folie, la crème chantilly.....
One of the cutest French nursery songs, an ode to whipped cream. Can be sung as a round.
We used the jar method to make butter with children - add a few clean marbles.
Better yet use a widemouth pint so you can easily scrape it all out!
Will def. be using this method going forward!!
If only I had known this in my early 20's when I thought my whisking warm was going to fall off...
The mason jar tip is great for *very* occasional use but I think that shaking a mason jar for 5 minutes non-stop is not that pleasant a chore.
If you need to make whipped cream on a regular basis look at what Starbucks does: whipped cream in seconds with a 0.5 liter stainless whipped cream dispenser, heavy cream, vanilla syrup and a Whip-It cartridge.
I usually use homemade vanilla sugar (made using scraped beans), and my immersion blender. I guess the jar might be even less work - at least less work for cleanup, if one counts the arm workout.
We used to do this every Thanksgiving when I worked with first graders. We actually made butter to go with the vegetable soup and cornbread feast, but always pointed out that whipped cream was the on the way to butter. That was a revelation to most, who thought whipped cream came from a white plastic tub or a squirt can.
My electric hand mixer works great and it is much easier to clean the beaters than a mason jar and lid parts.
This is probably fine out camping with no electricity, but why bother otherwise?
Just a few days ago, did this in a wide-mouth pint to have over a big bowl of strawberries.
The combination of no need for extra tools and the fact that the jar is also perfect for storage makes this a keeper tip.
this is great!
i make butter this way too. usually when i make sweet whipped cream for dessert, and i have extra, i will cover it and continue to shake until i get sweet butter. From there I usually will freeze the butter for when i make cookies or pancakes and then add the buttermilk to a smoothie for the next day.
gotta be in it to win it!
Of course, Grossvater, there's nothing special about the mason jar. Any vessel with a screw-top lid will do.
You really should read articles in their entirety before commenting. She only had to shake the jar for 45 seconds to make whipped cream. I'd hardly call that a chore.
I will most likely try this out, but reaching for the immersion blender seems as practical.
I use blender bottles to make dressings, whipped cream, and protein shakes (their intended purpose). I'm sure freezing a mason jar and then dropping in the tiny whisk ball would make this job a breeze.
Perfect trick for car-camping.
There's an even better way. All you have to dirty is your blender blade. There's another article on here that talks about the screw-bottom to your blender fitting on any mason jar, and it's true! Put your cream/sugar/vanilla in the mason jar, screw the blender blade/bottom on, and you can have whipped cream in seconds. And you don't have to make a ton at once. I'd recommend reading that article for other ideas, too.
I have a friend that for years has made her own skim milk foam for coffee in just that manner. Dump the cold milk into a cold jar and shake it until foamy. Then she nukes it briefly and pours it over her coffee. I cheat - I use an Aerolatte. :-)
I use the same theory to make quick and easy scrambled eggs.
Tried this last night - worked like a charm. Served over the summer's first wonderful peaches. There is nothing better! For the small amount we needed, my small mason jar was perfect - and- whipping that amount in my stand mixer or even in a bowl with a wisk would have been overkill. So portable, too. Would be perfect for a picnic!
Left over whipped cream!!! Bwahahahaha! Surely you jest.
P.S. Thanks for the great tip.
It's a bit on the order of hand-cranking an ice cream churn. First, you must find a strong and willing arm, and promise them sweet blissful whipped cream ...
Tried it out yesterday evening. The result was BEAUTIFUL! I wonder if this trick works making whipped cream with coconut milk as well ...
I don't know what I did differently, but this definitely did NOT work. The cream got frothy but nothing remotely close to the description here, even after 5 minutes of vigorous shaking. I'd sooner use the mixer & wash the things. Maybe a bigger jar for more space in which to shake?
I just did this, and it worked!
With the cream, I added: maple syrup, whiskey, vanilla & cinnamon.
It's so incredibly good.
Dirty liars ;) This did not work for me. I went straight from cold cream to little yellow separated chunks of butter...after five or ten minutes. I'm still shaking after twenty minutes and I still don't have the little ball of butter I'm now waiting for. Back to the kitchenaid for me.

First off the construction is awesome! I have no doubt at all that this brush will last and it doesn't look like there is any chance of it falling apart in the future. After testing out this brush, I had suggested to Detailed Image that they should add this brush to their line. Sure enough they did!

The brush is superb quality but it's a bit deceiving looking at the picture. It is NOT a silky soft cosmetic brush to be used on delicate interior dusting. It is more of a scrubber. The relatively stiff bristles come to an end to form a dome shaped working area that is soft but strong. The bristles are not easily deformed. I use it on my wheels where it gets into the nooks and cleans very well. The handle is comfortable and it has an expensive, quality feel to it.

Born and raised in the Twin Cities to NuyoRican parents, emcee, singer, and songwriter Maria Isa is recognized for her dedication towards celebrating her cultural diversity through music and political activism. Read more about Maria Isa.
Maria Isa is also profiled in a Twin Cities Public Television's mn original production. View the video.
The Twin Cities has a strong history of local musicians making their mark and taking over the SXSW Music Festival and this past Wednesday evening 18 year-old, South Minneapolis rapper Nazeem took charge of every minute he had on the mic.
Nazeem, who leaked January 1st, the first song off his upcoming mixture produced by Spencer Joles, was definitely a crowd favorite at this year's SXSW MN Hip Hop Showcase presented by Dante Entertainment at the 6th street Austin venue The Blind Pig.
"Performing at SXSW was a goal I had set 2 years ago, after releasing my first project The Coliseum at the 2012 Soundset," states Nazeem. "I was glad to have my family there supporting me and the crowd was really cool too."
Growing up on the Southside of Minneapolis, and graduating from Southwest High School last June, the rapper and songwriter born Nazeem Jalees Cunningham is now a student at Minneapolis Community and Technical College , and for 5 years has been working at Youthfarm, a non-profit organization focused on building youth led food movements in the Twin Cities. He was recently promoted as the Harvest Coordinator at his job, all while writing and recording his new mixtape produced by Spencer Joles.
His name is being heard around the Twin Cities as a best kept secret. With a feature on his father, veteran rapper Muja Messiah's upcoming project God Kissed It The Devil Missed It and this May's release of Atmosphere's Southside album, the new kid out the booth is bound to collect a fan base while educating a new generation of hip-hop fans through revolutionary bars set to shake your mind and tell a story.
"Nazeem killed it at the MN Hip Hop showcase here at SXSW! He had the crowd focused and responding to his catchy hooks like his songs were already a billboard hit on the radio," expressed Twin Cities producer, rapper and friend Bobby Raps of Audio Perm who took part in DJ-ing Nazeem's debut set at SXSW.

I am proudly looking forward to hearing more from my favorite new Minneapolis rapper and seeing his career as an artist and activist grow on stage as well as in the hip-hop community.
Party and Power to the People y'all! -M.I.

It was then where I teamed up with In The Groove Music to put together "Latinization" an Urban Latino, Pop Fusion album fit for a sexy, classy action packed joyride around the globe with production by Young Mennace and Andrew Bergen.
My birthday was May 1st...blame it on my momma why I love to celebrate what I like to call MARIA ISA MAY with the release of my new album collaboration with Urban/Pop producer and songwriter Young Mennace titled "LATINIZATION" itunes.apple.com/us/album/latinization/id642667569
with music off the album to be featured in this month's release of Fast and the Furious Xbox and PS3 Games.

Spur Meeting Tonight, Kenai Overlooked
The DOT is holding a public meeting tonight to gather input on $20 million worth of improvements to the Kenai Spur Hwy. The DOT has been working with the Kenai Peninsula borough and the meeting will be held from 4-7pm at the Assembly Chambers in Soldotna.
However, this follows several meetings already held by the Kenai City Council. Kenai City Manager Rick Koch said the City of Kenai was instrumental in gaining the original funding for the project, and hopes to remain closely involved in the project…
Koch: "The city wants to stay closely in contact with the DOT and help develop this go forward, for a few reasons. Couple of those are: the City's responsible for providing emergency response services along the majority of that roadway as it lies within the City of Kenai. We also maintain and operate adjoining roadways along that alignment, so the City has a fairly significant role to play in getting information to the Department of Transportation that hopefully will get incorporated into a final design."
More information on the project may be found at: http://dot.alaska.gov/creg/kenaispur.

The season continues to roll forward with an undefeated K-State and now the schedule gets into teams that will demand absolute excellence for a win. The next two games for the Wildcats will be their hardest, playing an Oklahoma team that is coming off its first lost of the season and then traveling to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State who will most likely still be undefeated and in the top 5. The throttling of Kansas came as no surprise to anyone who has watched K-State play this season and enabled Bill Snyder to continue to use a basic offense, which might be extremely beneficial on Saturday. Kansas State has to continue imposing their style of football on teams to remain unbeaten and that's a major part of getting another Wildcat victory. Continue reading to see what else needs to take place.
Offense – What K-State does offensively isn't magic. It doesn't require the best athletes, it doesn't provide highlight after highlight, it doesn't even require more than about 5 plays, but it works and works well. The Sooners bring the nations 27th ranked rushing defense into Bill Snyder Family Stadium but when a team is clicking like the Wildcats are, that's easy to overcome. Colin Klein and John Hubert are going to be asked to carry the majority of the snaps again for sure but I think the key to a victory on Saturday is going to be what new twists Bill Snyder adds to the play calling. Up to this point in the season, the Wildcats haven't needed to open things up hardly at all which could be advantageous. Oklahoma could watch every one of K-State's 7 victories and really not see all that much. The Wildcat's wildcat formation, which is usually run by Angelo Pease, has been successful each time it's been put to use. And don't forget that Pease played a little QB in his time as well so I wouldn't be shocked to see some sort of passing play from him. There's also the small adjustments in the zone read that have peeked out in other games that could be used more. My personal favorite is the wrinkle that allows Klein to keep, give, or hit the wide out on the line of scrimmage. That's only been used a few times this season but it works well by forcing the corners into the decision of either leaving their man to attack Klein as he's getting to the edge or watch him run as they keep coverage. It's going to be important to get a little more diverse, but whatever plays are called, the key is to continue to do what Kansas State has done all season: smash the run game down the field, use passing sparingly and efficiently, and control how often OU gets to put it's own offense in the game.
Defense – Oklahoma currently has the 4th best offense in the nation. Up until last week, they looked deadly in how they handle the ball and put points on the board. But the Texas tech game became an unexpected blueprint for limiting OU's play making and after watching the game replay, I feel pretty confident about how K-State's defense is going to fare. I assumed Tech went after OU QB Landry Jones hard with blitzes and schemes that forced him into bad plays but what really took place was straight out of the Wildcat's season. Tech played sound zone assignments, used mostly a four-man rush, and capitalized on turnovers. Sound familiar? It should. As well as Tech's defense was against OU, there's no doubt K-State has the better unit. There are sure to be some well timed stunts, but Kansas State's defense (just like the offense) simply needs to do what they have done all year long to come away with another big win. The Wildcats have faced the most athletic quarterback they'll see in Robert Griffin III and came out on top. They've also already taken care of the most accurate and pass happy quarterback they'll see in Seth Doege last weekend. Jones shouldn't scare the good guys at all. He hasn't lived up to his pre-season hype anyways and will give opportunities for the defense to get some turnovers as long as they stay in position and that's what it's all about. K-State's defensive animals just need to continue playing sound defense. Cosh's scheme is set around not letting anything get over the safeties head, allowing 7 to play in coverage, and making the opposing offenses stay on the field longer which gives more chance for mistakes. Oklahoma is going to try and score quickly with their fast paced offense but have plenty of faith in K-State slowing them down.
Special Teams – Here is where the biggest question of the game sits. Special Teams have been K-State's Jekyll & Hyde. On one hand, the return teams have really clicked and allowed Tyler Lockett to return two kick-offs for touchdowns over the past two games. The average per return is almost 30 yards, which has been huge in the field position game. This part of the special teams is becoming a legitimate threat every time they hit the field. On the other hand, it's one of the scariest things to witness the kick-off or field goal team get ready. Kick-offs have been horrible all season long. They rarely get deeper than the 15 yard line and there have been a few illegal procedures. When the kicks are short, the coverage team has a much harder time staying in their lanes and the results have come awfully close to disaster. Pertaining to field goals, Anthony Cantele is now 9 of 13 on his attempts and let's not forget the horrible shank of the extra point at Texas Tech. This part of the special teams is so sporadic that anything longer than about 25 yards is questionable and the last thing any Wildcat fan wants to see is a game that depends on a field goal as time expires. To get a win, the "Jekyll" teams have to continue, and the "Hyde" teams need to die.
Prediction – I've gone back and forth on this all week long but everything keeps pointing to one team. Everyone keeps playing on how angry Oklahoma is going to be after losing last week, but rolling into the sold-out house that Snyder built is going to more than even out any advantage that might have brought. Oklahoma will be the best team K-State has faced up to this point in the season but that's happened week after week (minus KU) and the Wildcat's have clearly been fine. So it comes down to who is going to be mistake free and the advantage sits squarely with the Wildcats. Oklahoma has almost double the number of turnovers compared to Kansas State (OU: 6 fumbles, 7 interceptions vs. KSU: 3 fumbles, 4 interceptions) and that's where this victory will come from. Mistake free opportunists always win and that's why we'll be 8-0 come Saturday night.

The Carolina Panthers were missing their top three backs during practice yesterday, as DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, and fullback Mike Tolbert were not spotted. All three of them are expected to play in this week's rivalry game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, since none of their injuries (it remains to be seen if Williams and Stewart are even injured in the first place) seem to be serious. According to the National Football Post's Aaron Wilson, the Panthers worked out four running backs at practice, which makes it seem likely that at least two of those three running backs above are indeed injured.
The Panthers are likely doing due diligence and being cautious, but this is a situation worth keeping an eye on. None of the four running backs the Panthers worked out are much good, though they are quality options as emergency depth. Former Jacksonville Jaguars RB Jalen Parmele, intriguing back Kahlil Bell, former Denver Broncos quality depth backup Lance Ball, and veteran Brandon Jackson were all worked out by the Panthers.
I don't expect the Panthers to make a move to sign any of them unless if the Panthers do have a significant injury in the backfield. Having your three top backs absent from practice is never a good sign, but there is no evidence that anything amiss. Still, the fact that the Panthers decided to work out four backs is enough to raise some concern, so we can only hope that they are just being cautious. Ideally, the Panthers would only want to sign one of those guys as emergency depth.

GENEVA, 21 February 2012 - The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, UNISDR, today said the European Flood Alert System could soon be put to its greatest test since widespread flooding ten years ago led to its creation by the European Commission.
The UN Secretary General's Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction, Margareta Wahlström, said she was particularly concerned about the consequences for those countries bordering the Danube where the ice is now starting to break up in the first signs of a spring thaw.
GENEVA, 20 February 2012 - Europe's vulnerability to disasters and the current tough winter "are a clear sign that we need to plan better and manage more robustly the risks we face," warns European Commissioner, Kristalina Georgieva, who is responsible for International Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Response.

BRATISLAVA/BUCHAREST (February 17, 2012) – Over the last three weeks, a massive cold wave from Russia affected the entire region of Central and Eastern Europe. Parts of Ukraine, Slovakia and Romania recorded the lowest temperatures. At the same time, massive snowfalls hit south-eastern areas of Romania.
BUCHAREST, February 15, 2012 (AFP) - Another seven deaths from Romania's wave of bitterly cold weather has brought the toll up to 86, the health ministry said Wednesday, as the country struggled with up to five metres of snow.
The seven deaths came amid a growing row over the authorities' failure to protect vulnerable people trapped in their homes by the heavy snowfalls, which in some cases have completely buried houses.

Summary: Extreme cold and excessive snowfall in the past two weeks have caused many problems in the south-eastern regions of Romania. On 10th February, more than 310 villages were reported to be totally isolated because of the snow. Governmental institutions are still working on clearing the roads from snow.
MOSCOW, February 13, 2012 (AFP) - Some 215 Russians have died this year in a prolonged period of abnormally cold winter weather, the health ministry said Monday as the overall death toll for Europe rose to well over 600.
Heavy snow continued to fall on Monday in Romania and Bulgaria, but the cold snap that froze much of Europe for the past two weeks began to ease in the west of the continent.
BUDAPEST, February 10, 2012 (AFP) - Hungary closed the Danube to river traffic Friday due to thick ice, bringing shipping to a near standstill on Europe's busiest waterway, as the continent's cold snap death toll passed 540.
"Shipping was ordered stopped overnight Thursday to Friday because of conditions created by icing along the Hungarian part of the river," Istvan Lang, who heads the national technical supervisory body OMIT said.
"All ships still underway must immediately head for the closest harbour," Lang, quoted by MTI news agency, said.

SARAJEVO, February 8, 2012 (AFP) - Helicopters ferried food and medicine to iced-in villagers Wednesday as Europe's 12-day-old cold snap tightened its frigid grip on the continent, where more than 400 have died as a result.
Eastern countries such as Poland and Ukraine account for more than half of the death toll, and dozens more have succumbed to the weather's secondary effects, such as asphyxiation due to shoddy heating.
After unusually mild weather in December 2011 and early January 2012 almost all over Europe, the weather situation changed abruptly in the middle of January. An incursion of cold polar air, coming from northern Russia at the south flank of an extensive high pressure area brought extremely low temperatures over large parts of Europe and also some considerable snowfall especially over various parts of the continent.
BELGRADE, February 7, 2012 (AFP) - Ice-breakers Tuesday battled Europe's big chill as the Danube river froze over more than 100 miles (170 kilometres), and dozens died of cold on a continent gripped by some of the lowest temperatures in decades.
The overall death toll from the cold snap that began 11 days ago edged past 400 while forecasters warned there would be no early let-up to the freezing weather.
As harsh winter conditions continue to choke many parts of Eastern Europe, World Vision is responding to keep vulnerable children and families safe in poverty-affected communities where it serves. World Vision Romania operates in seven counties across the country, five of which are heavily affected by the snow and freezing temperatures.

SOFIA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Heavy snowfall and strong winds across eastern Europe cut off hundreds of villages on Tuesday and rescue teams struggled to evacuate people in southern Bulgaria where rain and melting snow caused a dam wall to break, flooding an entire village.
A river dike also broke under intense water pressure near Kapitan Andreevo at the border with Turkey, officials said.

Nine Romanian children taken into care
Bus trapped by avalanche in Bosnia

Snow closes Rome's Colosseum
Cold claims first life in Albania, France
By Ioana Patran
BUCHAREST, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Nine Romanian children were taken into care after a baby died in an unheated house, joining at least 189 others killed by a Siberian front which strengthened its hold over Eastern Europe on Friday and spread further west.
With temperatures expected to drop below -30 in Eastern and Central Europe this week the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has warned that thousands of homeless people are at risk. Over 80 people have already died in Poland and Ukraine. The sudden cold snap has affected a huge swathe of Europe, from southern Italy to Turkey, and north to Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Russia.
WARSAW — A cold snap kept Europe in its icy grip Thursday, pushing the death toll to 163 as countries from Ukraine to Italy struggled with temperatures that plunged to record lows in some places.
Entire villages were cut off in parts of eastern Europe, trapping thousands, while road, air and rail links were severed and gas consumption shot up during what has been the severest winter in decades in some regions.
by Giovanni Zambello
The extreme cold wave gripping Central and Eastern Europe continues unabated, with wind, heavy snow and Siberia-level temperatures – in some areas as low as -32 C –has led to the death of over 80 people from hypothermia and frostbite, caused power outages, traffic chaos and seen the closure of schools and nurseries in parts of Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Serbia, Romania and Russia.
The majority of the victims are homeless people, already victims of the prolonged economic crisis.

Senator Marco Rubio has got big fish to fry ... nonetheless, he's kinda worried about Justin Bieber.
Rubio stopped in the Dirksen Senate Office Bldg in Washington D.C. to chew the fat with us ... and the father of 4 has a clear view that the Biebs is in trouble and needs help.
No fuzzy thinking on the subject of Justin Bieber ... Rubio thinks if Justin doesn't get help he's goin' down.
Why is this ILLEGAL ALIEN worried about Bieber. Needs to get his own "papers" in Order ! The nerve of some people !!!
Where is the Canadian Mugshot and egging update?????
You think Obama lies? This guy is completely full of isht!
Levin..." I'm a lawyer." RUBIO "I'm a beaner. "
he must adopt Bieber
He's right. The creep is going down one way or another. That is unless he finally grows up and cleans up his act. Step one, get out of the US and go back to Canada. He should move in with his dad's parents since they're the only ones who give a crap about him.
Right now Bieber is buying his street cread you big dummy RUB!!!
Funny! From lesbian to Dylan from 90210.
I'm getting old...
This kid is a worthless turd!
When his balls drop... Watch out!!!!!
We should all be worried that a United States Senator even knows who Justin Bieber is and of his current antics.
Bills pass through the house and senate without anybody even reading them, but apparently there is plenty of time in D.C. to keep up with the latest celebrity gossip.
Our president virtually granted himself dictatorial powers night before last and yet this senator is concerned with the antics of a teen idol.
We're screwed.
Basically he politely said they have bigger problems to worry about in WA than a 19 year old pop star and from the very little he knows it sounds like JB is in a bad place and he hopes he gets some help.
This guy is a fascist. I really don't care about his opinion. He is a little right wing Hitler youth
Well, that seemed like a lot of nothing. Anybody who reads, watches tv or goes on line knows that Bieber is looking at trouble. Interview equals Big Yawn!
How cares what WaterBoy thinks
Dis dude a clown he sold out his on people
Rubio thinks if Justin doesn't get help he's goin' down.
Justin step away from Lil Za we're here to help you.......... Oh we're too late he's going down on Lil Za.
Since when is stating the obvious news worthy ? It's only about getting your name and picture in the press.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boyby Gary D. Schmidt
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It only takes a few hours for Turner Buckminster to start hating Phippsburg, Maine. No one in town will let him forget that he's a minister's son, even if he doesn't act like one. But then he meets Lizzie Bright Griffin, a smart and sassy girl from a poor nearby island community founded by former slaves. Despite his father's — and the town's — disapproval of their friendship, Turner spends time with Lizzie, and it opens up a whole new world to him, filled with the mystery and wonder of Maine's rocky coast.
The two soon discover that the town elders, along with Turner's father, want to force the people to leave Lizzie's island so that Phippsburg can start a lucrative tourist trade there. Turner gets caught up in a spiral of disasters that alter his life — but also lead him to new levels of acceptance and maturity.
This sensitively written historical novel, based on the true story of a community's destruction, highlights a unique friendship during a time of change.
"Schmidt's writing is infused with feeling and rich in imagery. With fully developed, memorable characters....This novel will leave a powerful impression on readers." School Library Journal
"A powerful tale of friendship and coming-of-age, adding a lyrical sense of the coastal landscape." Booklist

FRA is an excellent school. I attended the school kindergarten through senior year and now have three children at the school. The excellent teachers meet the needs of my children. Each child is unique yet matched with the teacher that works with my child's needs. I love that my children can play on the football team and participate in the school play. Dr. Sissy Wade, head of school, leads well and excels in the academic field. I know FRA is preparing my children for college and to be able to succeed in their college choice.
Our children attended 2 years. My husband was an alumni and we had great expectations. Not only disapointed but confused about the curriculum or lack of one. Never have I seen their elementary curriculum and the math and reading areas in pre-k and kindergarten were weak. I taught kindergarten for 9 years so I should know. We had to tutor an entire summer to prepare our children for a different school.
Wow, what a terrific school! I have two children currently attending FRA, both of whom are blossoming. The best part about FRA is that everyone can be somebody. Opportunities abound in art, athletics and academics. The culture at FRA is wholesome integrity matters. I do not believe there is a better college preparatory school in middle Tennessee.
The academics were above average when I was a student there from 8th-11th grades (2003-2007). Most teachers were kind, caring, and willing to help students outside of class. I found many of the parents and students to be snobby, condescending, self-absorbed, very cliquish, and extremely materialistic. I left the school after my junior year because I was subjected to so much bullying and mistreatment. In my opinion, the whole "Scholars with Integrity and Balance" thing is a farce; most of the administrators (esp. the Head of School) are interested in nothing but money and prestige. The tablet PC program was introduced my sophomore year of high school. In some ways, the laptops improved learning (especially for writing & research purposes), but they also made learning more difficult in math & science classes.
The most impressive school .... amazing teachers and you can tell the kids are happy by the smiles you see on their faces everyday...
Not only a parent, but an alum as well, FRA is like no other. A student can truly go anywhere and do anything and know that they are prepared for every opportunity.
It's not great. I'm definitely getting out of there as soon as I can. You aren't welcome if you've been there for a while. There are cliques, and they are very unfriendly. I would not recommend it.
Very supportive, kind, nurturing and loving environment along with top notch teachers and academics! Kudos to all at FRA for giving our recent graduate a top notch education!! We love ya'll
I love my school i feel in a safe loving and learning environment.
My teachers are always available if I need help, and really seem to care about my sucess. I have plenty of course options. The arts department is excellent. No school is perfect, but FRA has provided me with the education needed to be accepted into more than one of the top twenty universities in the country.
Great School--wonderful teachers very helpful and kind to my child-very kind and caring for all students and parents. Great Head Mistress Sissy Wade is a talented and smart lady. SHe is well liked.
Simply outstanding. Great balance of academics and extra-curricular activities. College-like administration and college-level instruction. Oh, by the way, this school has a moral compass and character matters. We could not be any happier.
FRA's teacher are simply outstanding. They are caring and dedicated professionals who not only do a great job of preparing each child for the academic rigors of college; they also develop meaningful relationships with students to mentor and guide them to grow into adults who will reach their potential while also looking beyond themselves to serve as leaders in college and in their careers. Our children have greatly benefitted from having gone to FRA; they attended challenging universities throughout the country, and they have all excelled there academically, athletically, and socially. We attribute much of the their success to the foundation that was given them by the teachers at FRA.
FRA has been a wonderful experience for our family. My boys have been here since Pre-K4 and are now in the 7th grade. The things we wanted were a Pre-K through 12 program and Christian environment, loving teachers. Things we didn't expect that make us love this school: FRA wants to help every student find out what they excel at doing, they're best school in the area for student/school wide technology, it is very much a family environment and there is opportunity to get as involved as you'd like, the opportunity to 'be there'.
FRA is the best of the best in mid-TN. Academics are outstanding, strong Christian morals are stressed, their leadership development program is incredible, and athletics are amazing--they are among the top 5 schools, I think, for state championships won in a variety of sports. Their fine and performing arts are also outstanding--many colleges do not have the high caliber talent that regularly graces the stages of FRA. The technology is tops in the entire state. The most important thing, coming from a parent, is that each child receives personal instruction and is nutured, challenged, and encouraged in all areas.
The Middle School at FRA is incredible; the leadership of the middle school is incredible and the teachers are amazing.
FRA is wonderful in many different ways. It's academics are on a high level, which is a great credit to its teachers. The athletics are outstanding, and games are very fun. The arts at FRA are amazing. The level of talent is ridiculous. Even all this would make FRA a great school, but there is one more thing that truly puts it over the top. The relationships with teachers and coaches is incredible. Teachers are willing to help you with any question you may have, and they truly enjoy their job. You can joke around and make fun of most any teacher, but be prepared to be made fun of yourself if you make fun of them, all in good fun of course!
This school has very many great things about it and is wonderful in geting your child ready for college.
Nothing but positive things to say about this school. Our son loves going to school everyday, we get plenty of feedback and information from the teachers and administration and the FRA staff really loves the kids! Parents can be involved as they want to be.
FRA has a great christian environment and has many wonderful teachers. I never want to leave this school!

After having a week to digest the Cleveland Cavaliers selecting Sergey Karasev with the No. 19 overall pick, I feel the same about this pick as I did on draft night despite learning more about Sergey's game. This is a good thing. His father, who was a former premier point guard for Team Russia and is the current coach of Sergey's Russian club Triumph Moscow, obviously had his passing skills rub off on him, because he has shown to be a keen passer for a wing player and is able to function well in the NBA-style PnR. His knowledge and familiarity with the American way of basketball via his experience at the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit and 2012 Olympic Games will allow him to come in right away and receive minutes off the bench. Even after the signing of Earl Clark, I could still see Sergey giving Alonzo Gee and the new addition a run for their money. That's because I really like Karasev's attitude and approach to coming over to the States. He was there for draft night, even though he had a game to play in Russia the next day. He's only 19-years-old, but he will be ready by training camp to suit up for the Wine and Gold. He also said this in an interview at the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit on Draft Express, which I really liked:
If they say, "I need you tomorrow,' I'll come tomorrow.
Even though there is not much elaboration on Karasev's comments to teams wondering if he'll be stocked away like some international prospects who don't even end up coming over in the long haul, Karasev did have some interesting things to say about his Russian teammate Andrei Kirilenko, who happens to be a free agent this summer. He wanted to be drafted higher than Kirilenko, who went 24th to the Utah Jazz in the 1999 NBA Draft, and that came true last Thursday, making him the highest picked Russian player in NBA Draft history. However, Kirilenko didn't make an appearance in the NBA until the 2001-02 season. Because of the wait, Kirilenko came into the NBA with the Jazz ready to contribute as a starter after honing his skills for a couple of years overseas. He played in all 82 games (started 40), averaged 10.7 points and shot 45.0 percent from the field in his rookie campaign.
Kirilenko is a much more poised rebounder than Karasev will ever be, but the 6-9 wing makes up for that with his ability to acknowledge passing lanes with a high basketball IQ. He has also shown a lot of promise from outside the arc, where he shot 49.0 percent from three as a member of Triumph Moscow in Eurocup play (11 games). He differs from Kirilenko in that respect too, where the 6-9 small forward only puts up around one long ball a game and converts around 30 percent of the time. Karasev, in Eurocup play during the 2012-13 season, put up 4.6 treys per game. He also led his team in scoring during this time, averaging 16.1 points. His release, which is extremely mature for a 19-year-old international player, looks automatic at this point from beyond the arc. This will, in turn, earn Karasev minutes off the bench, because as Karasev pointed out on draft night, the Cavs need shooters.
In the Draft Express interview mentioned above, the work ethic of younger international stars has always been questioned. Karasev agreed that once these players get noticed around the age of 16 and 17, they feel like the rest will come naturally. In his broken English, which is slowly improving, the lanky small forward made it clear that the time to put in work is now and for the next four or five years. There's no time to relax at this point, and I love the eagerness that Karasev has shown in wanting to make an impact right away. You don't expect players to say much different, but Karasev is genuine in his comments, and we will see him work well with the possible complimentary rotation of Clark and Gee.
Those who have been down on Sergey's defense need to realize a couple of things: He's still very young with a highly developed offensive game and has been deemed as a hard worker and grinder by his Russian coaches. A statistic that I found on ESPN Insider stated that, "Karasev held his opposing shooters to a 28.6 field goal percentage on spot-ups, which ranked in the 95th percentile in all European competition." Although spot-up shooting isn't the hardest area to defend, it does show that Karasev will be able to be a proficient defender on the perimeter at the next level. This, coupled with the fact that defense will come with more exposure to the NBA style of play, makes me extremely comfortable with this pick – especially taken that he fell all the way to the Cavs at 19 after being projected between picks 10 and 15.
