Editorial: State law not needed
Now that the federal ban on late-term abortions has been upheld, Wisconsin has no need to pass its own law.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling to uphold a federal ban on late-term abortion is now the law of the land.
Consequently, there's no need for Wisconsin legislators to even consider passing another state ban to outlaw these understandably controversial late-term abortions. In their enthusiasm to get a law on the books, Wisconsin lawmakers could further restrict a woman's right to an abortion, whenever it's performed.
This is not a groundless fear. In 1997, the Legislature passed a similar ban on late-term abortions that was so broad and ambiguous that it appeared to outlaw not only late-term abortions but all abortions, no matter when they are performed.
Equally disturbing, the state law required that those who intentionally violated it, such as the doctor who performed the procedure, be sentenced to life in prison. That's grotesquely unfair and arbitrary. The federal ban requires only a maximum two-year prison term for doctors convicted of performing the procedure.
In 2000, the Supreme Court struck down a Nebraska late-term abortion ban because it created an "undue burden upon a woman's right to make an abortion decision." In 2001, Wisconsin's law was subsequently deemed unconstitutional by a federal appeals court, which determined that the Wisconsin ban and a similar one in Illinois "do not differ in any material way from the Nebraska statute."
In light of the recent 5-4 decision upholding the 2003 nationwide partial-birth abortion ban, the Republican co-authors of Wisconsin's ban, Sen. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) and Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch (R-West Salem), asked Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen this week what effect the high court ruling would have on a Wisconsin law.
Asking was logical and appropriate. Fitzgerald told us he believes it's necessary from a legal and practical standpoint for Wisconsin to have its own law on the books but conceded that it would have to meet the criteria established by the high court.
But writing laws is never as easy as it looks, and as the experience of Wisconsin, Nebraska and other states showed when they passed their own late-term abortion bans that were later struck down, this issue is not only legally complex but has powerful emotional, religious and moral overtones.
Chris Taylor, an attorney who is public policy director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, fears that a state law could have a chilling effect on all abortions here by something as simple as having the life-in-prison provision rather than the much more reasonable two-year federal punishment. She's right.
Should Wisconsin pass its own partial-birth abortion ban? Why or why not? Send a letter to: Journal Sentinel editorial department

MOBILE, Alabama - If nothing else, it's going to be loud when South Alabama's women's basketball team takes on Sun Belt Conference leader Arkansas State Wednesday in the Jaguars' annual "Pack the House'' game at the Mitchell Center.
Tipoff for the game is set for 11:30 a.m. and it will feature several elementary students from the Mobile area who have been invited to the game. Hence, the rise in the decibel level expected for the game.
"It's going to be loud,'' South Alabama head coach Terry Fowler said. "I'm excited about it. I've been a part of them a couple of times at North Alabama. Any time your young ladies get a chance to play in front of the kind of crowd we're going to have, it makes them feel special. From everything I've heard, (South Alabama has had) some of their better performances in these games, so I'm looking forward to it.''
The Jaguars won't mind the help. They will be playing with a short bench, having lost point guard Brittany Webb for the rest of the season. She suffered a torn ACL in her left knee in last Thursday's loss at Troy. The Jags had already lost freshman guard Colby Davis with a knee injury, though she is expected back soon, perhaps for Wednesday's game. Davis is set to be examined by team doctors again Wednesday morning.
"She says she's been feeling good and hopefully she's been doing some things in between to get better,'' Fowler said. "If the doctors release her to play, any relief she could give us, we'll take.''
Combined, Webb and Davis represent 12.3 points and 4.9 rebounds a game. More importantly, both have experience at the point guard position, which could leave the Jags without a player with extensive play at that spot at the college level against the Sun Belt's top team. With Webb missing most of the game against Troy, the Jags committed 27 turnovers and shot just 25.8 percent from the floor in the second half.
"It looks like we're going to move Sharon Sanders in to keep our rotations somewhat normal,'' Fowler said. "We can move Rachel (Cumbo) to the three (spot) and J.J. (Jennifer Johnson) could come in as the four or five.''
And there's the matter of Arkansas State, which enters the game with a two-game win streak, a 15-8 overall record and 9-2 mark in Sun Belt play. The Jags are 7-13 overall and 5-5 in league games.
"They're leading the league and playing really well,'' Fowler said. "If you go back and look at the first game, they really dominated the paint. So we've got to do a better job of not letting their low post players receive the ball in the areas that they want to. And we've got to get out and contest their shooters.
"We can't let them in the paint. I think they had 48 paint points against us the first time. It was difficult to stop them from doing that when we had everybody, so the task gets harder. We've got to come up with some creative ways to do things. Even if they catch it in the paint, we've got to try to make them get it out of the paint. We can't let them score there. They use multiple defenses and change up on you. We have to recognize those and take care of the basketball as well.''
South Alabama is led by Meghan Dunn (13.4 points per game). Breanna Hall is adding 10.5 points and Cumbo is averaging 10.2 while hitting a league-best 51.5 percent from 3-point range and making 88.5 percent of her free throw tries, which ranks third in the Sun Belt. Ronneka Robertson leads the jags with 8.4 rebounds a game.
ASU is led by Aundrea Gamble with 18.0 points and 6.3 rebounds a game. Jane Morrill adds 12 points a game, while Hannah Qedan provides 11.8 points (and a league-best 92.8 free throw percentage) and Jane O'Bannon offers 10.5 points and 7.0 rebounds an outing.

Frank McCourt, the beloved raconteur and former public school teacher who enjoyed post-retirement fame as the author of "Angela's Ashes," the Pulitzer Prize-winning "epic of woe" about his impoverished Irish childhood, died Sunday of cancer.
McCourt, who was 78, had been gravely ill with meningitis and recently was treated for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. He died at a Manhattan hospice, his brother Malachy McCourt said.
McCourt spoke at least three times in Syracuse: He was the 2007 commencement speaker for Syracuse University and the state University of Environmental Science and Forestry, and he appeared at the Rosamond Gifford Lecture Series twice, in 1998 and in 2000.
He also appeared and signed books at River's End Bookstore in Oswego in November 2000.
His 1998 Gifford lecture drew so many fans that organizers booked two venues -- the live speech at the Crouse-Hinds Concert Theater and a closed-circuit TV simulcast at the Carrier Theater. Both sold out.
In his 2007 address at SU, McCourt told the audience that while many of them will grow up to be comfortable and secure, what really matters is finding what you love and then doing it.
"So I've reached this point in my life where I'm doing what I want to do, and that's the most beautiful thing of all, " he said "If you don't love what you're doing, you're dead. Take out insurance."
Until his mid-60s, Frank McCourt was known primarily around New York as a creative writing teacher and as a local character -- the kind who might turn up in a New York novel -- singing songs and telling stories with his younger brother Malachy and otherwise joining the crowds at the White Horse Tavern and other literary hangouts.
But there was always a book or two being formed in his mind, and the world would learn his name, and story, in 1996, after a friend helped him get an agent and his then-unfinished manuscript was quickly signed by Scribner. With a first printing of just 25,000, "Angela's Ashes" was an instant favorite with critics and readers and perhaps the ultimate case of the non-celebrity memoir, the extraordinary life of an ordinary man.
"F. Scott Fitzgerald said there are no second acts in American lives. I think I've proven him wrong," McCourt later explained. "And all because I refused to settle for a one-act existence, the 30 years I taught English in various New York City high schools."
The book has been published in 25 languages and 30 countries.
McCourt, a native of New York, was good company in the classroom and at the bar, but few had such a burden to unload. His parents were so poor that they returned to their native Ireland when he was little and settled in the slums of Limerick. Simply surviving his childhood was a tale; McCourt's father was an alcoholic who drank up the little money his family had. Three of McCourt's seven siblings died, and he nearly perished from typhoid fever.
"Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood," was McCourt's unforgettable opening. "People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty, the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests, bullying schoolmasters; the English and all the terrible things they did to us for 800 long years."
The book was a long Irish wake, "an epic of woe," McCourt called it, finding laughter and lyricism in life's very worst. Although some in Ireland complained that McCourt had revealed too much (and revealed a little too well), "Angela's Ashes" became a million seller, won the Pulitzer and was made into a movie of the same name, starring Emily Watson as the title character, McCourt's mother.
The white-haired, sad-eyed, always quotable McCourt, his Irish accent still thick despite decades in the U.S., became a regular at parties, readings, conferences and other gatherings, so much the eager late-life celebrity that he later compared himself to a "dancing clown, available to everybody."
After "Angela's Ashes," McCourt continued his story, to strong but diminished sales and reviews, in "'Tis," which told of his return to New York in the 1940s, and in "Teacher Man." McCourt also wrote a children's story, "Angela and the Baby Jesus," released in 2007.

Victoria Pontecorvo might want to buy a lottery ticket.
Just in case.
The 22-year-old Rutgers grad and former Tottenville High School runner is on a serious hot streak.
And Friday's first-place finish in the women's division of the Arielle Newman Run was just one more highlight in a can-you-top-this recent run.
First, the three-time Newman Run champion recently received her acceptance letter to Brooklyn Law School. She'll begin classes next month.
"I was thrilled," she beamed of making the first choice on her law school list.
A couple of days later another letter turned up in the mailbox of the one-time Island high school distance champion, again from Brooklyn Law.
"It said that I was receiving a partial scholarship," she said with another big smile.
Then Pontecorvo opened her Advance to find a story that pointed out she was within reach of becoming the first person ever to win four consecutive Island road racing Triple Crowns.
"I thought, 'Wow ... history,'" she said Friday after turning in a 32-minute, 10.9-second performance over a five-mile course that stretches from Clove Lakes Park to the Silver Lake reservoir and back.
All of which makes her the polar opposite in the luck department of Joe Gentsch, who led the men at the four-mile mark Friday.
Gentsch, who had just settled into what appeared to be a comfortable if small lead over Mike Caputo, took a wrong turn off Forest Avenue by Clove Road, leaving the course for about 10 seconds before being directed back.
By then, Caputo, who could he heard calling to Gentsch in an effort to get his opponent back in the race, had taken a lead.
The two finished together at Caputo's insistence.
Pontecorvo experienced no such drama.
In fact, in line with her recent non-running fortunes, the Huguenot resident pretty much coasted to victory.
"Everything that's happened makes me feel lucky and blessed," she said.
All she needs now to make her slice of history is to start and finish Labor Day weekend's Celic Run, the final leg of the Triple Crown series that begins with the Advance Memorial Day Run.
Even a sub-par performance will get the job done, but don't expect anything less than her best Aug. 30 in the race run in memory of the Celic brothers, Marty and Tom.
"I'm excited, and I'm definitely going to train for the race," Pontecorvo said of her shot at the unprecedented four-peat.
The first Triple Crown title was bestowed in 1984.
Since then several runners have copped three consecutive championships.
"This would be a huge accomplishment to me," Pontecorvo said of the possibility of winning four straight. "One reason I'd like to do it is that I love the Island running community so much and the people in it have been so good to me."
On Friday, Pontecorvo battled the humidity of the day and not much else.
"I was kind of running by myself for most of the race," she said. "Right from the start, I tried to keep myself focused on my own pace and not get distracted."
Once the graduate of Rutgers journalism school got through the tough uphill stretch into Silver Lake Park near the two-mile mark, she never looked back.
"I really worked at keeping my form," she said of the steep climb on Forest Avenue.
She comfortably defeated second and third-place women's finishers Angelica Hollweg (34:05.6) and Eva Holtermann (34:14.7) by about two minutes.
Now it's on to the Celic Run, and perhaps a step into the Island running history book.
"I'm really looking forward to it," said the young woman on the hot streak.
And why shouldn't she?

Sherry, Aileen E, Inglis, Neil F, Stevenson, Andy, Fraser-Pitt, Douglas J, Everest, Paul, Smith, David G E and Roberts, Mark (2011) Characterisation of proteins extracted from the surface of Salmonella Typhimurium grown under SPI-2-inducing conditions by LC-ESI/MS/MS sequencing. Proteomics, 11 (3). pp. 361-370.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Salmonella enterica has two pathogenicity islands encoding separate type three secretion systems (T3SS). Proteins secreted through these systems facilitate invasion and survival. After entry, Salmonella reside within a membrane bound vacuole, the Salmonella containing vacuole (SCV), where translocation of a second set of effectors by the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2) T3SS is initiated. SPI-2 secretion in vitro can be induced by conditions that mimic the Salmonella containing vacuole. Utilising high-throughput mass spectrometry, we mapped the surface-attached proteome of S. Typhimurium SL1344 grown in vitro under SPI-2-inducing conditions and identified 108 proteins; using secretion signal prediction software, 43% of proteins identified contained a signal sequence. Of these proteins, 13 were known secreted effector proteins including SPI-2 effector proteins SseB, SseC, SseD, SseL, PipB2 and SteC, although surprisingly five were SPI-1 proteins, SipA, SipB, SipC, SipD and SopD, while 2 proteins SteA and SlrP are secreted by both T3SSs. This is the first in vitro study to demonstrate dual secretion of SPI-1 and SPI-2 proteins by S. Typhimurium and demonstrates the potential of high-throughput LC-ESI/MS/MS sequencing for the identification of novel proteins, providing a platform for subsequent comparative proteomic analysis, which should greatly assist understanding of the pathogenesis and inherent variation between serovars of Salmonella and ultimately help towards development of novel control strategies.

About 8 months ago, I got this project at work that turned out to be all-consuming. I was spending day and night on this thing, as I had to climb up a bunch of new learning curves simultaneously. It's not over yet, but the end is in sight. Time to start dreaming of playing OTB once again!
So I am pretty out-of-shape when it comes to chess. I play 10 minute games here on Chess.com, but it's just not all that satisfying. Why not?
Anyway, I finally got out of this rut where I was losing EVERY game, and managed to climb from 1200's to 1500 exactly in about 6 months. A master once told me that a club player's blitz rating will often be 400 points lower than their slow rating. So at least I'm in the right ballpark I guess. Here is the game that I just played that put me at 1500. I'm posting it without move-by-move comments because it's pretty simple to follow. But I'll make a few points up front:
No, I like ...Bxf3, opposite color bishops favor the attacker and his king was in much vulnerable position. Of course, after he lost exchange it didn't matter :)
@alzhin i know Black didn't exactly put up the biggest fight in this game, but I like it because I felt very much in control the whole time, despite the clock. That has never been a strong point for me, and I think it's worth at least 200 online rating points. I think 6 months ago I would have gone for a much more crazy kind of plan that would give my opponent more chances. Here is another example just played where I felt the same kind of control. Instead of going for some crazy initiative, I just tried to play calm. When he played 18.Qd2 I was all ready to pounce, although I think I should have reversed the move order of ...Bxf3 and ...Rxe1, oh well.
Interesting game, I'm looking forward to playing you at the club!

Artisan's Row
What is Artisans' Row? Artisans' Row is organized as a collection of workshop areas where artisans & scholars can demonstrate, share, and teach, preferably hands-on, their particular skills & knowledge.
What kinds of things happen at The Row? While Artisans' Row will have a "lecture tent" available with a projection screen and electricity for more traditional "lecture-type" classes, we encourage scholars to consider how they might make a traditional 1-hour lecture class into a more hands-on or live demonstration class (of any needed length). The Row also encourages "open workshop," demonstration, and even one-on-one tutoring-type sessions as follow-ups to other classes, or for artisans to share the techniques and projects they are working on with the populace.
CURRENT ONLINE CLASS SCHEDULE (Google Doc) - a living document, will continue to change until 3/9/16
Areas within the Row this year include:
NOTE that OTHER locations on site have THESE codes:
Artisan's Row encourages you to become a Gulf Wars Scholar!
Special – this year only! Take and/or teach 25 hours of classes to be recognized as a GW25yr Scholar!
We invite everyone to come by and see what's happening any day - visitors, observers, and questions are always welcome! Read on for more information!

Xmas tree permits available now
Permits for cutting personal-use Christmas trees within the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest will go on sale beginning Nov. 15 through Dec. 22.
Cutting areas are within national forest lands in the eastern portions of Pierce, King, Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties. Maps and information about cutting areas will be provided where permits are sold.
Permits will be available for $10 each, with a limit of five trees per vehicle. Trees cut must be no more than 12-feet tall. Permits are nonrefundable. Quantities are limited, so it is a good idea to call ahead before making a trip to a sales outlet. Credit cards are not accepted at forest service offices.
Several forest roads in the Mount Baker and Darrington ranger districts are inaccessible due to washouts caused from October 2003 flooding. Check ranger stations for closure information.
Plan to purchase a Sno-Park Permit at a ranger station if you are going to park in a designated Sno-Park area. Parking is strictly enforced and fines can be substantial.
Getting your tree early before the snow falls usually means better access on forest roads. Most trees are accessible only by narrow, unplowed mountain roads. High-clearance vehicles are often essential, along with tire chains and a shovel.
Set out early in the day to allow for maximum daylight. Let friends or relatives know where you are going and when to expect you back.

Aaron Posner, the outgoing artistic director of the Two River Theater Company in Red Bank, certainly picked a winner for his swan song. Steve Martin's "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" tickled audiences silly at Saturday night's opening.
It was a play that was done quite a bit at the turn of this new century, and then faded away. But Posner has rescued it from obscurity.
Although this is the same Steve Martin who both wrote and starred in "The Jerk" and "The Jerk, Too," he certainly seems more rarefied here. One doesn't find Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, or anyone like them in Martin's standard-fare Hollywood films. The geniuses' radical theories allow Martin to dispense a radical kind of comedy — think of this as the play Neil Simon would have written, if he had been a Mensa member.
Picasso and Einstein are two of the three people who arrive at a Paris bar — and who'll change the 20th century.
Charles Dabernow Schmendiman also shows up — and believes he's destined to be the third jewel of the triple crown. Schmendiman is Martin's wholly fictional invention, but the playwright does allow him near play's end to make a definite (if small) contribution to our world.
Not until late in the play does the third world-changer enter. He's simply called "Visitor," although a theatergoer will know his identity the moment he steps on stage. That is not, however, because Lucas Miller greatly resembles the man, but because the legend's theme song is played. Miller gives it a nice try, but he doesn't look or act nearly enough to be mistaken for the real person.
It's the only misstep director Hal Brooks made in casting.
Alfredo Narciso is a swarthy Picasso who — at least on this night — is much more a lover than a painter. Narciso has the suave demeanor of a Romeo who goes through women with the speed and inattention that the average man gives each TV channel when he's holding a remote. (One of Picasso's conquests is deftly played by Rachel Botchan, who delivers a heartfelt harangue on lust.)
Drew Hirshfeld excels as Albert Einstein, bubbling over every time he has a new and revolutionary thought — or when he can easily compute even the most dense math problem. What fun to see Bradford Cover as the barkeep trying to stump him.
As the barkeep's wife, Emily Ackerman offers a seen-it-all demeanor, showing a woman who long ago was inured to life's little boring moments. Add to this Ackerman's voice, perhaps the most dry one since Audrey Meadows' Alice Kramden.
Best of all is Ray DeMattis as Gaston, the randy if aging barfly. Gaston is too endearing to be called a dirty old man, so let's instead say he's a naughty old man — and that DeMattis is a superb performer. A long time has passed since New Jersey theater has seen a comic with such perfect timing.
Brooks' swiftly staged production is played on one of the most eye-arresting sets of the season. Donyale Werle has made this watering hole quite lived-in. Shelves sport trophies from long-forgotten victories, while the walls display license plates, lacrosse sticks and even a tiny print of Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks." One could say that the set has everything but the kitchen sink — but that's probably there, too, behind the bar.

Drunken driving, Riverview Road: A weaving black Jeep Cherokee caught the attention of police at 11:09 p.m. March 8 on Riverview Road.
Before the officer pulled over the vehicle, he watched it turn without using its turn signal, as well as turn the opposite direction of the turn signal. The officer talked to the
Sagamore Hills driver, 44, who said she was lost and only one mile away from home.
When asked whether she was trying to avoid the police officer, she said she thought her ex-boyfriend was following her. The woman smelled of alcohol and admitted to drinking a couple of glasses of wine.
During a field sobriety test, she said she wanted to talk to her lawyer and started crying. She was arrested for drunken driving. She was also cited for not using her turn signal.
Drunken driving, Old Orchard Drive: Police were dispatched at 3:25 a.m. March 9 to Old Orchard Drive after a silver Mazda crashed into an electrical box resulting in a loss of power at a nearby home.
While talking to the Broadview Heights driver, 21, the officer detected the smell of alcohol. The woman also had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. She said she slid out of control due to the icy road.
After first denying she had anything to drink, she admitted to having a beer. After failing a field sobriety test, the woman was arrested for drunken driving.
She was also cited for failing to control her vehicle.
Theft, Miller Road: A PNC employee came to the police station on March 11 to report someone had taken the catalytic converter from her 2001 Honda Accord a week earlier.After working a full shift, the Middleburg Heights woman, 59, started her car and heard a loud bang. When she took it in for service, the mechanics told her the converter was missing. The total cost of the repair was more than $1,600. Police are investigating.

MORRIS TOWNSHIP — More than 400 graduates received degrees from the College of St. Elizabeth Saturday — the first commencement under college president Dr. Helen Streubert, who was formerly inaugurated in April.
The 112th commencement included 237 undergraduates from the Women's College and adult undergraduate programs, 170 graduate students, and 12 doctoral students, according to the school. While the college is primarily a women's school, a few dozen men attend part-time.
"As I peruse the headlines of our daily newspapers, I am reminded of the great need for leadership in the world," Streubert told graduates and their families, according to an account provided by the school. "You, the women and men who have graduated today have been imbued with the ability to assume leadership in your homes, your workplaces, your communities, your churches and indeed this nation. ... Here at CSE, we facilitate learning with a focus on using that knowledge to lead – but we also teach our graduates how to live – to live full and vibrant lives which contribute significantly to the well-being of the people of God."
In recognition of her commitment to the practice of law and promoting women as full partners in the workplace, the college presented commencement speaker Heidi J. Sorvino with an honorary doctor of laws degree.
The school said Sorvino, an attorney with the firm of Hodgson Russ of New York City, "comes from a large, loving Catholic family" and encouraged graduates to "be your biggest fan, embrace your family and friends ... have faith, be grateful for what you have, but most of all, this is not a dress rehearsal, have fun and go after your dreams."
The college also bestowed an honorary doctor of humane letters degree posthumously upon Sister Regina Martin Keane, who had served as principal of Mother Seton High School in Clark since 1975. Prior to that, she taught ministry at St. Paul School in Clifton and mathematics and religion at Mother Seton.
Students Jennifer Ampofo of Newark and Marion Spranger of Colonia offered accounts of what the school called their "very different paths to CSE."
Ampofo is a traditional women's college student who earned a bachelor of arts degree in allied health studies with a minor in business administration, according to the school.
"Like most of us, I came to CSE unsure of myself. ... Today, we stand ready to live out our life's purpose and make a lasting impact on the world," she said, according to the school's account. "We must take all that we have learned here and apply it to our daily lives, in turn, encouraging others to live out their greatness."
Spranger described herself as a "late bloomer." according t o the school. She's a registered nurse who achieved her lifelong goal to obtain her bachelor of science degree in nursing, it said.
"I did take the long way around the academic mountain," she said in her speech
She continued:
"As we join our family and friends today to celebrate their accomplishment, let us relish the now, knowing surely God is in this place. ... I urge you to allow God to be part of your journey forward. Grace has a way of opening doors in ways we never thought possible."

PCF-Funded Discovery Results in a New Diagnostic Test to Diagnose Prostate Cancer
February 15, 2012 -- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved today a urine-based molecular diagnostic test that aids clinical decision-making for repeat prostate biopsies in men who have had a previous negative biopsy. This new test called the PROGENSA® PCA3 (Prostate Cancer Antigen 3) assay, tests for levels of PCA3 in the urine of men immediately after a Digital Rectal Examination. This test will potentially aid faster and more efficient diagnosis of prostate cancer. PCA3, the compound that this test checks for, is a gene that is normally expressed only in the human prostate tissue and is highly overexpressed in prostate cancer. The product of this gene, a noncoding RNA is excreted in the urine of patients with prostate abnormalities.
The current standard for prostate cancer screening employs the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test which is prostate-specific but not highly cancer-specific. In contrast, PCA3 testing is highly cancer-specific, with better positive and negative predictive values compared to PSA testing.
With partial research support from the Prostate Cancer Foundation to Dr. William Isaacs at Johns Hopkins University in 1998, a gifted young woman scientist, Dr. Marion Bussemakers, from Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen in Holland, published a seminal research paper titled "DD3: a new prostate-specific gene, highly overexpressed in prostate cancer." The work was a collaboration between a Baltimore Maryland-Nijmegen Holland research team, including leaders Jack Schalken and Dr. Fritz De Bruyne, as research progressed. This initial funding impetus by PCF has put PCA3 testing to FDA approval.

As prominent features in your garden, they give structure to the landscape and serve as effective backdrops, foundation plantings, hedgerows and privacy screens. Trees and shrubs not only infuse the area with dynamic distinction, they also contribute to the landscape's overall design. From petite patio trees to towering specimens, and creeping dwarf shrubs to treelike giants, every tree and shrub sets the mood with its unique character, whether that be a stature of elegance, dainty and delicate, wispy and carefree, or hauntingly beautiful.
This time of year, many in this group also bring an added element of attraction by dazzling us with an unexpected display of showy blooms, colorful fruit or textural seed heads. These elements are attractive to more than just the human eye as they also attract birds and butterflies with sources of food as well as cozy shelter and safe places to perch.
Planting in late fall and winter has benefits. Plentiful rains generally take care of the watering while plants are getting established. Also, many deciduous trees and shrubs are entering or have already entered their dormancy, causing their respiration rate and nutritional needs to slow to a minimum. And since growth comes to a halt in the upper branches, the plant can devote its energy to growing a stronger root system, which will ultimately support better foliage growth in spring.
Shorter days and cooler temperatures also mean that in addition to container-grown plants, B&B (balled-and-burlapped) and bare-root plants are also available for planting.
For guaranteed attraction for years to come, choose plants that are compatible with your yard's specific soil type, water and light conditions. Be sure that the tree or shrub you select will not overwhelm the allotted space; depending on its ultimate height, spread and growth habit, it may eventually expand into a widespread canopy of shade or grow into a soaring specimen too big for your yard.
There are differing opinions as to the best way to plant -- especially when it comes to the hole size and type of soil. I've found the following method to be the most effective.
The first step is to water the container plant, soak the roots of a bare-root plant, or wet down the root ball of a B&B several hours in advance. Next, get your backfill soil ready for use. A good backfill mix includes about 30 to 40 percent loamy soil, compost or composted manure mixed with 60 to 70 percent of your native soil. That way you create a nice transition zone between the typically relatively rich soil of the root ball and the poorer native soil.
Before you start digging, it's always a good idea to contact your local utility company to mark the location of any underground lines. And, if you're not planting right away, be sure to house the plant in a protected area and keep the roots moist until planting time.
To prepare the site, dig a hole 6 to 12 inches deeper and about 1 to 2 feet wider than the width of the root ball. Use your spade to loosen the soil on the hole's sides and bottom, then throw in several shovelfuls of compost, mixing it in with the surrounding native soil in the hole. Fill the hole with water and allow it to drain, then repeat.
Remove the plant from the container. If it doesn't slide out easily, knead the pot by rolling it between your hands a few times or tap the container's bottom and sides. Gently break up the root ball by teasing out the roots with your hands or a garden fork to loosen the root system. If the root system is tightly matted you can loosen it by scoring the sides of the root ball with a sharp knife and then gently teasing out a few roots.
Position the plant in the hole, adding some of the backfill mix to the bottom center to form a mound so that the crown (the part of the plant where the roots and trunk or stem meet) is at the same height above the ground as it was in the pot.
For bare-root placement, spread the roots over the cone-shaped mound and set the tree or shrub so that the crown is 2 inches above ground level. Add more backfill mix to the mound in the bottom of the hole, if needed, to ensure that the crown sits at the right height above ground.
Place a B&B plant so the crown is slightly above ground level. (Always move a B&B by the root ball, not by the stem.) Next, untie or cut the twine or cage and pull away the burlap by folding it down over the sides of the ball. You can leave the burlap in the hole -- it will eventually decompose. However, if the wrapping material is plastic or some other nonbiodegradable material, remove it completely before filling the hole.
Once the tree or shrub is properly positioned, fill the hole halfway with your pre-mixed backfill and use your hands to gently tamp it down to stabilize the plant and eliminate any air pockets. Water the half-filled hole to settle the soil. After the water has drained, fill the rest of the hole with the backfill mix, then gently tamp it down once again. Once the rainy season arrives you needn't worry about watering until spring, especially if the plant is mulched. Just be prepared to water if winter weather delivers an extended warm and dry period.
You can make future waterings more efficient by creating a catch basin, which is basically a raised, circle-like moat about 6 inches high around the circumference of the planting hole. Water deeply by filling the depression two or three times with water so that the soil becomes thoroughly saturated. Be sure to allow the water to drain each time before refilling the moat.
The final step is to protect the soil with a layer of organic mulch, such as compost, shredded bark, wood chips or shredded leaves. Spread a 2- to 4-inch layer of mulch, starting about 6 inches out from the trunk or stem. (Be sure to leave a mulch-free zone around the trunk of at least 6 inches.) The mulch helps retain moisture, nourishes the soil, discourages weeds, moderates soil temperatures and protects the roots.
Now that your new additions are in place, come next spring they will be engulfed in foliage and well on their way to becoming an essential feature in your yard.

It is tempting to lay odds on the outcome of the lawsuit brought by Republican State Chairman Tom Wilson to force Gov. Corzine to release the e-mails he traded with union leader Carla Katz during negotiations over a new contract for state workers.
The score is tied 1-1 at the moment, with Wilson having won at the trial court level while Corzine prevailed in the Appellate Division.
Wilson has since appealed to the Supreme Court.
So, let the odds making begin:
Will the Supreme Court certify the case for a hearing? Because the Appellate Division ruling was a unanimous 3-0 in the Governor's favor, a high court review is not automatic and will be heard only with the Court's consent.
If certified, when will the case be scheduled? The Court will be highly sensitive to the timing and will be extremely reluctant to hear the arguments in the midst of what is shaping up to be a highly competitive gubernatorial campaign. Justices read the newspapers, too.
If the case is heard, when would the Court issue a ruling? Don't look for a decision anytime after this Spring.
How might the Court rule? Traditionally, the Supreme Court (not just the current Court), when confronted with a challenge to the power of the executive, has virtually always tilted toward the executive.
The fastest way to get the issue off the table, of course, is for the Court to deny Wilson's appeal, citing the unanimous ruling by the Appellate Division as a clear vindication of the Governor's claim of executive privilege.
The odds on such a denial are actually pretty favorable. It could be done quickly and would end any further speculation about the case, leaving Wilson and any other Republican with little recourse other than carping about the Governor and the Court.
With the recent comment by the front running Republican candidate for Governor, former U. S. attorney Chris Christie, that he did not intend to make the Governor's refusal to release the e-mails a campaign issue, a denial of Wilson's appeal becomes even more attractive to the Court.
The odds on scheduling a hearing during the campaign if the case is certified are much longer and those on an eventual ruling in Wilson's favor are longer still.
If Supreme Court justices were permitted to publicly discuss cases before them, they'd probably be unanimous in their view that they want nothing to do with this one.
They're acutely aware that this is a case rooted more in politics than in settling any Constitutional question and that any decision will throw the Court directly into the maelstrom of the gubernatorial campaign --- an uncomfortable place, to be sure.
For Wilson, there was no choice but to undertake the appeal. He began his lawsuit nearly two years ago and, despite some grumbling that he was spending too much time and too many resources which could be more wisely used elsewhere, has doggedly pursued it. Despite the unanimous ruling against him in the Appellate Division, Wilson was in no position to abandon the fight.
Corzine has already expressed his hope that the issue would be resolved before his re-election campaign got underway and he may very well see his desire realized.
He is certainly aware of the skepticism with which his claim of executive privilege is viewed by some and a court ruling upholding his claim will do nothing to change that view. Whatever differences of opinion may have existed within the Administration over releasing the e-mail communications are now irrelevant. Just as Wilson is in no position to abandon the fight, Corzine is in no position to alter his course, either.
There exists a body of opinion that the Governor's refusal to release the e-mails would not cause any significant harm to his re-election prospects, a view that has become somewhat more widespread now that the national economy has taken such a disastrous downturn and government efforts to produce a recovery will overshadow all else.
Christie's decision to avoid using the Governor's executive privilege claim as an issue in the campaign is significant on a number of levels.
For one, it indicates he's reached a strategic conclusion that there's more to be gained by speaking to issues which people care about --- property taxes, fiscal responsibility, government spending, their personal economic situation, etc. --- rather than pursuing whether there is anything embarrassing or improper in the e-mail exchanges.
Second, it suggests that should he be the nominee and exercise the traditional candidate's authority to select a state party chairman and staff, he wouldn't retain Wilson and could direct that the appeal to the Supreme Court be abandoned.
Third, he may very well feel deep down that executive privilege --- the principle Corzine says he's defending --- deserves protection and that, should he become Governor, he may well find himself in a position to claim it at some point to protect internal confidentiality and receive unrestrained advice and counsel without fear that it will all become public.
So, even though Wilson faces long odds in his quest, all is not lost. The Arizona Cardinals, after all, were a 150-to-1 shot to reach the Super Bowl.

BEREA -- Carter Koch helped decorate his grandmother's yard.
Carter, 7, built Mr. Snow, a 6-foot snowman at Mary Bilow's Crescent Drive home.
It took him two hours to create the snowy figure.
Carter, who lives in Strongsville and attends Whitney Elementary School, could not find any stones or coal for Mr. Snow's face so he improvised. He used two Reese's peanut butter cups for eyes, a radish for the nose and black olives for its mouth.
Thanks to Heidi Koch, Carter's mom, for sending the Sun News this photo.
Do you have any winter creations of your own in Berea? Send them to email@example.com.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
Students from Bowie and Del Valle high schools will participate in the first edition of the Rookie Entrepreneur Program at the College of Business Administration of The University of Texas at El Paso. This event was designed and implemented by the Mike Loya Center for Innovation and Commerce (MLCIC) and the Center for Hispanic Entrepreneurship (CFHE) through the College of Business Administration.
As part of their commitment to the economic development of this region, both centers created the Rookie Entrepreneur Program (REP), a complementary activity plan designed to provide hands-on experience in the areas of business and entrepreneurship. The program consists of a training session and a practical exercise where students put in practice basic concepts of marketing, accounting and finance. The Rookie Entrepreneur Program seeks to expose students to entrepreneurial activities through a basic selling exercise.
Teams made up of mixed students from Del Valle and Bowie's business magnet programs will have an opportunity to practice their business skills through the set up of a "lemonade" stand. The goal of this simplistic, yet powerful activity is to show the various elements of setting up a business and creating profit from selling a basic product. The activity will enable the students to take the steps necessary to become entrepreneurs, and empower them through holding various roles that would be typically seen in a real world endeavor.
The Center for Hispanic Entrepreneurship is a research entity at UTEP that has as a primary goal to further the knowledge of Hispanic/Latino businesses. The Mike Loya Center for Innovation and Commerce, a research center also residing within UTEP, conducts and promotes three main avenues of research: research in innovation and commerce, research for commercialization of innovation, and research in entrepreneurship education. The Mike Loya Center also serves as a liaison between the College of Business Administration and the College of Engineering, a natural connection between engineering and business professionals. These two centers are a crucial part of the UTEP and El Paso ecosystem to support innovation and commerce.

I'm currently on the set of a new web show called Chug, Plug & Review by Blip.TV. We shot a few episodes a few weeks ago and they liked them so much, that they ordered a whole season worth of it. It was actually a lot of fun to shoot and we're back to shoot a lot more episodes now. Really looking forward to today. We just finished our setup and now we're just waiting for the talent.
Wait wait wait, it's all a part of production.
We're shooting with two cameras, and there's two segments to shoot, the interview part is shot with the A Cam on a Tripod and the B Cam is on the new Jag35 Slider. See pic below.
It was actually kind a nice to shoot with a Canon Camcorder, we used the Canon XF105. It had been quite a while since I've played around at all with any video camcorder, but it was nice not to have to worry about recording time, plus we were able to hook up our audio directly to the on camera XLRs, instead of recording all our audio to an external source. This little camera was pretty great, I don't have much time to get into more details, but here's a full on review by Philip Bloom

The above photo comes from the latest issue [1] (PDF) of First Fruits, the newsletter of the Norbertine Canonesses [2] of the Bethlehem Priory of St. Joseph in Tehachapi, Calif. It depicts several of the sisters assembling wreathes as part of the order's annual fundraiser. Shown second from the right is Annie Huguelet ('11).
Shortly before her graduation in May, Miss Huguelet offered the following reflection about her vocation in an address to the College's Board of Governors:
"With graduation on the horizon, I have my eyes set on the eagles, turned Heavenward, and I plan to continue the education I have received here at Thomas Aquinas College by pursuing the contemplative life. I will do then what I have learned to do here, which is to raise my mind and my heart up to God."
How beautiful it is to see her joyfully living out that vocation today!

A 60-year-old man died in a Lubbock hospital Wednesday, four days after being involved in a single-vehicle motorcycle accident in Briscoe County, the Department of Public Safety said.
About 1:15 p.m. March 10, Leonard Garland Bryan of Lubbock, a Texas Department of Transportation worker, was northbound on a Harley-Davidson on state Highway 207 near Silverton when he entered a curve and his rear tire lost traction, DPS said.
The motorcycle fishtailed, struck a pole, rolled 1½ times, then came to rest against a tree, DPS said.
The accident threw Bryan, who was wearing a helmet, from the motorcycle, DPS said.
Bryan suffered critical injuries and died in a Lubbock hospital March 14, DPS said.
Investigators said weather conditions were rainy when the incident occurred.
DPS did not release the information about the incident until Sunday.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Today is Judgment Day for Stapleton's PS 14, as well as dozens of other schools slated for closure by the city.
The Panel for Educational Policy will meet at Brooklyn Tech at 6 p.m. to decide on the fate of schools labeled struggling due to low standardized test scores and poor grades on city progress reports.
Officials from the United Federation of Teachers have urged parents to attend the public hearing, which the Department of Education is legally required to hold.
If the plan is approved, PS 14 and the new school, PS 78, would co-exist in the building for three years. PS 14 would stop admitting new students, and retain only third-, fourth- and fifth-graders in September.
PS 78, meanwhile, would serve pre-kindergarten through second-grade students from Stapleton starting in September. Each year, PS 14 would lose a grade and PS 78 would gain one, until 2015, when PS 14 would close and PS 78 would reach full enrollment.
PS 78 would have a new principal and many new teachers.
The Panel for Educational Policy is a 13-person board with eight mayoral appointees and five borough president appointees. It typically rubber-stamps closures and phase-outs recommended by the Department of Education.

The article "Action on trade, patent bids gives lawmakers chance to create jobs" (Aug. 8) claims the patent bill on the table would be the first major change since 1952. The so-called Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 had enormous impact on our economy, especially our universities and small businesses, because for the first time, the U.S. government declared all and any intellectual property invented with the use of federal funds of any type are to be owned by the entity which invented it. This covered grants, contracts, joint ventures, public-private partnerships, etc.
Universities and academic researchers have reaped hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in royalties since then and we all have reaped the benefits of bringing more new technologies into use. This money has both supported more academic research and supplemented more student admissions. This money has also helped bridge a gap between academic researchers and industry.
Many are familiar with the big cases, such as the $300 million earned by Stanford University on some early Google technology. Most are not familiar with the high growth of university technology licensing, partnering and acquisition by the health care industry. Many of the new drugs, devices and diagnostics in market, and coming to market, are licensed or at least discovered outside of the industry R&D labs.

GRAND RAPIDS -- There's nothing like a drum line to put some pop in a gray fall day.
Grand Valley State University drummers provided a show-stopping soundtrack to three Meijer Good Schools assemblies Thursday in Grand Rapids schools: Harrison Park, C.A. Frost Environmental and Sherwood Park Global Studies.
The Good Schools program, now in its fourth year, rewards elementary schools for progress in nine areas, including student achievement, attendance, school culture and curriculum.
"We hope being recognized as good schools helps everyone at those schools feel special," said Cris Kooyer, youth and education program officer with the Grand Rapids Foundation. "They deserve it."
Checks were presented to fund special projects at each school:
• $46,500 to Frost to enhance the science and social studies curriculum
• $23,500 to Harrison Park to expand classroom libraries and fund a parent engagement process
• $21,000 to Sherwood Park for a service learning program conducted by Internet with students in another city.
Meijer Good Schools, an initiative of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, is funded by The Meijer Foundation with support from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation and the Mary I. and Robert C. Pew Donor-Advised Fund.
Over the years, the grants have funded a spectrum of perks ranging from new technology and curriculum to transportation for field trips and gift cards for contest winners
Schools are eligible to apply for a Meijer Good Schools grant every third year. Entrants go through an extensive review process conducted by a local panel, Kooyer said.
Poverty rates of families at each winning school are reflected in the size of the award, Kooyer said.
Students were given special yellow T-shirts to wear to the assemblies. Some were handed sticks and invited to join the drum line.
