Collaborations Supporting TAACCCT Grantee Success
Several organizations are collaborating within the TAACCCT Learning Network to provide technical assistance to TAACCCT grantees to improve and ensure the successful fulfillment of the TAACCCT program SGA requirements sponsored by the Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration.
The organizations within the TAACCCT Learning Network which are partnering with SkillsCommons to deliver support services include the following:
Advanced Technological Education (ATE):
A group of National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Centers are collaborating to provide technical assistance services to DOL TAACCCT grantees based on extensive experience providing materials and support in their discipline areas and in mentoring faculty as well as other colleges, centers, and projects in general over the 21 years that the ATE program has been funded. Technical assistance will be provided in a variety of manners including webinars, teleconferences, best practices, coaching, etc. All centers have worked with DOL TAACCCT programs in varying ways, and one NSF Center is also the lead for a large Round 1 TAACCCT consortium.

Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST):
CAST is an education research and development nonprofit that works to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Through generous funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, CAST is helping all TAACCCT grantees meet the TAACCCT SGA requirement for UDL :
All online and technology-enabled courses developed under this SGA must incorporate the principles of universal design in order to ensure that they are readily accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities in full compliance with the Americans with Disability Act and Sections 504 and 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
As part of this effort, CAST developed UDL On Campus, a collection of resources geared towards multiple stakeholders within postsecondary institutions, including instructional designers, faculty, policy makers, and administrators. The purpose of the site is to offer an understanding of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in higher education across five categories: 1) Assessment, 2) Selecting Media and Technology, 3) Improving Institutional Policies and Practices, 4) Planning Your Course, and 5) Teaching Approaches. Within each category users can find resources that demonstrate specific ways to address learner variability at the postsecondary level in an effort to improve learning opportunities, retention, and outcomes.
CAST also provides webcasts and personal support through phone and email to TAACCCT grantees and attends national convenings and regional convenings (by invitation) to help grantees utilize Universal Design for Learning in their courses and programs.

THE LAST British resident held in Guantanamo Bay claims he is subjected to physical abuse and fears he will not make it out alive.
Shaker Aamer has warned his wife and children in London that he may die in captivity and is currently on hunger strike protesting against abuse by his guards, according to reports.
The 46-year-old is to set to be freed after more than 13 years in detention without charge.
He cannot be released immediately because the US administration had to give Congress 30 days' notice of his release.
"I know there are people who do not want me ever to see the sun again," he said.
"It means nothing that they have signed papers, as anything can happen before I get out.
"So if I die, it will be the full responsibility of the Americans." Mr Aamer has made a series of allegations about torture and abuse at the military prison in Cuba.
He is said to be on hunger strike after he was allegedly assaulted by guards and forced to give blood samples.
Mr Aamer described being held in a freezing cold aircraft hangar during plummeting temperatures in winter in Afghanistan. He also claims a British intelligence officer was present when his head was repeatedly beaten into a wall by the Americans during interrogations.
Two years ago Mr Aamer submitted a witness statement to the Metropolitan Police detailing his ordeal. Mr Aamer reportedly told detectives he was "abused by the US military from the day I arrived".
The British resident, who has a wife and four children living in Battersea, south London, has said he was originally seized by bounty hunters while working as a charity worker in Afghanistan in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 attacks.
He was handed over to US forces and then in February 2002 he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay and accused of aiding al-Qaeda.
Mr Aamer has been accused of being associated with Osama bin Laden but was never charged.
In 2007 the allegations were dropped and he was cleared for release.
But despite a formal request for his return by then foreign secretary David Miliband, the US authorities refused to allow him to go.

How to Make Sure You Paid Less For Your Plane Ticket Than the Person Sitting in the Seat Next to You
By travel writer Holly Burns of Nothing But Bonfires
Finding out you've forked over a hundred bucks less than the man in 12D is always a satisfying feeling, but you've really got to work to get there. Here are five ways to help you pay a little less for your next flight.
1. Start looking now.
Know you're going somewhere? Start scouring fares now. Yep, this very minute. Sure, it might seem like Christmas/Easter/your preschooler's college graduation is a long way away, but you want to get a head start on finding the cheapest ticket, and the best time to do it is often way in advance. Like, way in advance. At the same time, though, don't just jump on the first fare you see. Because you also need to….
2. …Play the game.
The thing about booking air travel is that it's a gamble. While it's more likely that airfares will go up rather than down the longer you wait—meaning that if you see a really amazing deal, you should jump on it immediately, particularly around holiday periods—you need to be prepared for the fact that the price you're looking at might actually drop a couple of weeks after you book it: airlines have sales, for instance, and fares can also be lowered if the flight isn't selling as well as expected.
3. Be more flexible than a yoga teacher.
Can you shift your dates a little? It's usually cheaper to fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Any room to maneuver on the time you want to travel? And what about flying out of (or into) a different airport? The fewer boxes you have to tick, the easier it'll be to find a rock-bottom price. (Just be wary of being too flexible: at some point, you need to ask yourself if saving twelve bucks is worth that three-hour layover in Denver at 5am. I'm guessing probably not.)
4. Monitor the situation.
Here's where you become a stalker: check for new routes and prices often—or as often as you can stand it—because things change fast. Sign up for sale alerts and fare trackers, so that you're the first to know. Keep your eyes peeled. Hold out as long as you can. If the price doesn't appear to be budging, cut your losses and go for it now.
5. Add up the extras.
It used to be that saving twenty-five bucks was saving twenty-five bucks. But look carefully at the policies of that carrier offering you the best price: will you have to pay to check a second bag? A first bag? Will you be forking over for an on-board Diet Coke? When you're being nickel-and-dimed, those nickels and dimes add up awfully fast. Do the math and figure out what you're actually saving by choosing the "cheapest" ticket; depending on the airline, your second or third choices might turn out to be a better deal in the end.

The mother of a Derry man killed by the SAS in Derry on May 28, 1981 says the sense of loss she felt over her son's death death 34 years ago is as prevalent today as it was back then.
Mrs. Bridie McBrearty, now in her eighties, lost her son, Volunteer George McBrearty when he was shot dead along with Volunteer Charles Maguire by the SAS at the junction of Southway and the Lone Moor Road on May 28, 1981.
"George's death was a traumatic experience for us all," Mrs. McBrearty told the 'Journal'.
"I was devastated. I had lost my husband in 1977 and then my son and I found it very difficult to come to terms with. I was not prepared for the manner of his death and how quick and sudden it all happened.
"George's death had a profound experience on us all especially his younger brother Pat who had a history of mental illness. Pat had lived in the family home throughout the often violent house raids in our home and had witnessed the effects and hardships we endured throughout the periods when his brothers were interned and on the run. Pat never got over George's death and 10 years to the day after George's killing, Pat took his own life," she said.
The 'Journal' reported on May 29, 1981 that members of the Provisional IRA were travelling in a hi-jacked car when another car, containing four SAS men, pulled up alongside the car containing George McBrearty, Charles Maguire and two others.
Local reports at the time said that the car containing the SAS men opened fire. One of the IRA men got out of the car and returned fire before he was shot. The army vehicle then drove off and the car containing the wounded IRA men went back into Creggan.
The car was found burned out near shops in Creggan and it was believed an ambulance was called to the same location to take the two dead men and one injured man to hospital.
In an official statement to the 'Journal' at the time the Provisional IRA said:
"One SAS man in a brown Opel car was sighted by an active service unit of Derry Brigade Oglaigh Na hEireann. The volunteers pursued the car containing one SAS man at the junction of Southway and Lone Moor Road. Just then, two other cars, a red Chrysler Alpine containing the SAS and a yellow Porsche containing at least three other SAS men drew up and opened fire on the volunteers,"
George McBrearty was 24 at the time of his death and Charles Maguire was 21.
Mrs. McBrearty said George was "assertive" growing up and had a great sense of humour.
"George was the third eldest of 11 children. George always lived in Creggan since birth. Initially he was raised in Cromore Gardens in a small flat for a short time until we were re-housed in our family home in Rathowen Park.
"George was educated in the Holy Child School, Long Tower School and St Columb's College. He also spent a short time at St. Joseph's Boys' School in Creggan. He was very bright and intelligent and was always very socially aware.
"He loved football and was a very good footballer. He played for Athletic Football Club for a few years.
"From a young age George was always very assertive and strong minded. He was very boisterous as a child and loved adventure. Other children were attracted by George's sense of humour, his sense of adventure and his outgoing nature. This led to George having many friends and he mixed extremely well with others.
"His humour and quick wit was renowned within our home. He could give you a cheeky comical look in an instant and was always full of life.
"George was largely no different to any other working class child in the Creggan Estate at that time. He was generous to those around him and he looked out for others. These qualities were no doubt developed living within a large family in Creggan. He was charismatic and you could see his leadership qualities amongst his peers from an early age.
From a young age it was clear that George had an inherent concern for his community and was very politically aware. He had witnessed oppression from childhood and knowing his own mind he was assertive and in 1973 he sought out the IRA, which at this time was an organic part of the community in Creggan.
"George was extremely driven and wished to achieve the goal of a 32 County Socialist Republic," said Mrs. McBrearty.
"He was determined to challenge the British establishment and all its apparatus in Ireland. He was prepared to fight and die for his ideals.
"Having joined the IRA he was then interned in Long Kesh at the age of 17. He was in Long Kesh when it was burned and was involved in the prison riot. Like all the other prisoners he was subjected to British Army brutality, CS and CR Gas. I had two sons in jail at that time with my eldest son Danny also incarcerated. I worried about them both in jail and journeyed to visit them regularly throughout that period.
"When George was released he returned to the Republican Movement straight away and it was apparent he was even more determined. At this time a war was raging on the streets and our home was being raided up to three times per week. Fr. Faul who visited me at home during one of the raids commented that my home was the most raided house in Ireland at the time.
"George continued to fight oppression and in 1978 he married. He was arrested very soon after his marriage on a trumped up charge. He was taken to Crumlin Road Jail and was denied bail on a number of occasions before eventually it was granted. When bail was granted he decided to go on the run immediately as he mistrusted the judiciary and believed that they would find him guilty no matter how unsafe the case was."
She continued: "He would remain on the run with only short fleeting visits home to Derry for the next few years right up until his killing on May 28, 1981. During his time on the run he stayed in Buncranna and lived in Letterkenny. He ventured into South Derry and Tyrone apart from occasional visits home here to Derry. George went on to have three children with his youngest being born just weeks before he was killed."
The McBrearty family is organising a special commemoration for George this Thursday May 28 and Mrs. McBrearty said she wanted to extend an invitation to everyone, no matter what their political affiliation within the republican family and the nationalist community in general.
"We have decided to organise a commemoration to remember George on the 34th anniversary of his death. At the commemoration we will also be celebrating the life of my son, Pat. The commemoration will take place on Thursday, May 28 at 7.30 pm at the Creggan Republican Monument. We would like to welcome all those who knew George and everyone within the republican movement to come along to commemorate his life and to remember the principles for which he died. Everyone is welcome," she said.

The latest project from acclaimed writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, The Master) is opening in theaters this Friday, January 9th, and I think it will probably be one of the better releases since Interstellar back in November, give-or-take a few exceptions. Adapted by Anderson from the novel by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows outlandish private investigator Larry "Doc" Sportello across 1970s Los Angeles as he investigates the death of his ex-girlfriend. Joaquin Phoenix (Signs, Walk The Line) and Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men, Men In Black 3) are leading the cast that also includes Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, Martin Short, and Benicio Del Toro. Anderson's last film, The Master, received three Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations, all for Best Actor (Joaquin Phoenix), Best Supporting Actor (Philip Seymour Hoffman), and Best Supporting Actress (Amy Adams), and before that, There Will Be Blood won two Oscars in 2008 for Best Actor (Daniel Day Lewis) and Best Cinematography (Robert Elswit), so needless to say, this director knows what he's doing. Check out the trailer here on MADE, then seriously consider seeing this one on the big screen.

New Look At Paul Thomas Anderson's Upcoming Film 'Inherent Vice' With Joaquin Phoenix And Josh Brolin
We have been following the production of Paul Thomas Anderson's next project for some time now, and finally we have a visual idea of what to expect from the upcoming drama. Inherent Vice follows the trials of Larry "Doc" Sportello, a pot-smoking private detective in 1970s Los Angeles who probes the murder/disappearance of his former girlfriend. Vice is based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon and stars Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin in the roles of Sportello and LAPD detective Bigfoot Bjornsen. Reese Witherspoon, Sasha Pieterse, Benicio Del Toro, Jena Malone, and Owen Wilson also have supporting roles in the film. Entertainment Weekly recently acquired a photo from the set featuring Brolin and Phoenix in full costume, the first real look at the movie we have had thus far. The film is scheduled to hit theaters this coming January 15th. Stay tuned for more information…we should see a trailer coming out soon!
Director Shane Black Eyeing Russell Crowe And Ryan Gosling For Murder Mystery 'The Nice Guys'
Iron Man 3 director Shane Black has kept the Hollywood gossip scene hungry for news about what his next project will be after the success of his blockbuster sequel last May, but now he seems to have given them some answers. The Wrap has reported that Black will next be directing producer Joel Silver's murder/conspiracy thriller The Nice Guys, which follows muscle-head and private-eye Jackson Healy and Holland March, respectively, in the investigation of a porn-star's suicide in connection to someone (Tycoon or businessman) in the American auto-industry. The story takes place in 1970s Los Angeles and the director is currently looking to actors Russell Crowe (Gladiator, American Gangster) and Ryan Gosling (The Ides of March, Gangster-Squad) to take the leading roles. The script comes from Black and screenwriter Anthony Bagarozzi, who has also penned scripts for a couple of film potentials, including Doc Savage and Death Note, but no release date or production schedule has been put into effect at this time.
'Inherent Vice' Set For Release This December
Director Paul Thomas Anderson is currently finishing production on his next film, Inherent Vice, which has now been given an official release date by Warner Bros. for this December 12th. The movie is based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon, which follows a pot-smoking detective in 1970s Los Angeles named Larry "Doc" Sportello, who probes the disappearance of an old girlfriend. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix in the role of Sportello, and has an all-star supporting cast that includes Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, and Martin Short. This will also be the third collaboration between Anderson and composer Jonny Greenwood, who worked on two of the director's previous movies, There Will Be Blood (2007), and The Master (2012).

Tennessee educator and 15-year-old kidnap victim located
- Author: Archie Newman Apr 22, 2017,
Apr 22, 2017, 1:46
The 50-year-old Tennessee man accused of kidnapping his 15-year-old former student was arrested in Northern California - and the teenage girl was recovered safely after she was missing for more than a month, authorities said Thursday.
"He said she was 24, he said he was 38 or something like that", Barry said. He said he would be back and urged his wife not to call the police. If convicted on that federal charge, Cummins faces at least 10 years in prison.
Law enforcement in secluded Siskiyou County, near the Shasta-Trinity National Forest three hours northwest of Redding, Calif. near the OR border, confirmed to multiple outlets that Cummins' Nissan Rogue was discovered there late Wednesday night without a license plate.
According to WKRN-TV, the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office confirmed the Nissan Rogue used by Tad Cummins and Elizabeth Thomas was found in the county.
Cummins was cooperative with law enforcement, Siskiyou Sheriff Jon E. Lopey told the Associated Press.
The student who was allegedly kidnapped by her teacher in Tennessee has been found safe. Thomas was right behind him and she detained for her protection. "I didn't observe any emotional distress", he said.
"This is not somewhere they had frequently visited", Cox said. "I believe the Federal Bureau of Investigation are going to make sure she's healthy before she comes home", she said.
"When my neighbor called and told me, I thought 'Oh my God, no, we are way too far from (Tennessee),' " O'Hare said.
O'Hare was not on the property but the cabin's caretaker spoke to the couple, he said. Cummins did all the talking and said they had been at the Black Bear Ranch commune, but left because they didn't like it there, according to Barry.
The girl has returned to Tennessee. The girl is expected to be returned to relatives in Tennessee Friday, her family says.
The Maury County Public Schools released a statement, obtained by PEOPLE, reading, "The news of Elizabeth Thomas' safe return is wonderful news for our community, and now, we can begin healing as a community, school district and as families touched by the AMBER Alert".

We even had a little rain. It felt like it was coming off the snow. Not very promising for a 3 year old boy's birthday. But I tell the mums when they book the parties that they will go ahead whatever the weather, because really, children need to be less protected from the extremes, don't you agree. Just make sure they are suitably dressed I explain. So we had no choice. .
We were blessed really, because apart from the two short showers that saw us duck for cover, the rest of the party remained dry, although a little cold. But mostly the children were undeterred. We started with apples because it is Autumn, and therefore apple season. I had the apple slinky ready.

N-Word Fine, But Family Values Banned
excerpt:Â A Christian organization fighting on behalf of religious and speech rights is going to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge an appellate court decision that found municipal employers could censor words such as "marriage" and "family values" because they are hate speech and could scare workers. At the same time, those municipal officials for the city of Oakland, Calif., were allowing employees to exchange epithets such as the N-word, the appeal said.
"To allow the lower court's ruling to stand exposes every public employee to outright censorship by a municipal employer for merely mentioning words such as the 'natural family,' 'marriage,' 'and 'family values,' issues which are at the forefront of national debate," said the appeal prepared by the Pro-Family Law Center.

6.30.10: Leo's 25th Month
I am really enjoying Leo's company lately. For one, he's really into food. We make smoothies together in the morning, he climbs up on a chair to help with dinner every night, and he eats like a horse. My kind of guy. I've learned to accommodate his vegetable interests by incorporating some subtler, softer veggies, like green beans that slow-cook in our coconut rice pilaf, and Leo is becoming be a bit more open-minded about what he eats.
He's also talking more, so we can actually sit at the table eating breakfast and discussing literature. His favorite book right now is What the Cat Saw, a gorgeous and very intimate book about a family's day and what their cat sees while the humans are busy with their own lives.
Next week Leo will switch from being full-time at school to attending 3 days per week, so we'll be home together on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm looking forward to it. We'll take the cat to the vet next Tuesday, we'll go to the pool, meet up with our playgroup, pick up our CSA veggies and do some more cooking projects, which I hope to share here. I want this summer to feel free, and full of water and sun and running outside for Leo, not to mention picnics and frozen treats.
Of course, I want those things too. Who doesn't miss the summer vacations of childhood? Taking the time to be with Leo feels like a privilege to me, and it's also a tiny bit scary. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my career lately, and Aaron and I have done a lot of talking about my goals and options.
It would be so easy to slip into having little direction and less drive professionally, but as my mom reminds me, in 15 years or so (and she promises they go by fast!) Leo will be much more independent and I'll have time to re-examine my priorities. I hope to be doing work that I love by then, and I aim to figure out what that means sooner, rather than later. Maybe I'll manage to find a little more perspective and peace with all this while I'm running through the sprinkler this summer. I think it will be a refreshing change of pace.

A blessed interruption
July 28, 2016
We've been spending a lot of time rehearsing. It's slightly different in English cathedrals — we robe, and do most of our rehearsal in the choir stalls of the cathedral itself, rather than in the song school. We were interrupted in rehearsal yesterday. Norwich was once home to Benedictine monks, who kept the daily patterns … More A blessed interruption

One of my players really really really wants mermaids in our game once we resume in the fall. My first reaction was that mermaids are perhaps a bit precious, but on the other hand, who am I to say no?
In any case, I don't think my players are really liking my pet setting, so I think I might go for something a little bit more classic DnD.
New Thalassa
The Coral-Spired City and the undine's capital. It straddles the shore, with its greater area deep underwater. Land-dwellers who wish to do business with the Undine may converse with them in the Dry Quarter or on palace-barges off the coast.
Old Thalassa
The Obsidian City, built ages ago with long-lost volcanic magic. It has been claimed by the Never-been, malign deep-sea beings that also captured the undines' goddess. It was abandoned nearly overnight by its inhabitants, so its wealth still remain, beneath crushing pressure and total darkness.
Cathedral of Catastrophe
Church of the undines' (relatively) new patron deity, Rasp, the stone-headed god of calamity. Travelers willing to perform a service for the Disastrous Bishops can secure safe passage over sea, protected from both storms and the grasp of the Never-beens.
Enemies of the Undine
The Deep Sisters
Sea-witches skittering across the abyssal plain astride their spider crabs, bringing false life to whale falls and snatching the souls of drowned sailors. Include The Bathyal Ladies, Mother Midnight, Agony Aunt, the Hagfish Medusa, and the Angler Queen
Bathyal Lady
Attack: 1d8 (claws) or 1d6 (bite)
Movement: 120' feet in water, 10' on land
Bathyal Ladies are warped cousins of the undine, with the lower bodies and jutting jaws of a viperfish. They are photophagic, able to snuff all light sources within 100 feet, gaining 1d8 HP per source in the process. This can raise their HP above its normal maximum value.
The Never-beens
Hadopelagic un-gods that ooze out of cracks in causality at the bottom of the world. They captured the Glass City of Old Thalassa centuries ago, and the goddess of the undine with it. Their influence makes all but the most cautious sea travel impossible. Include The Sans Seraph, Terror Doll, The Rickets Merchant, The Murder Swan, The Wicked Unravellers
Wicked Unraveller
Attack: d4 (touch)
Movement: 60'
Wicked Unravellers are human-shaped holes in reality, appearing as dark silhouettes swathed in unravelling rags. On a successful attack, they destroy a single piece of mundane equipment. If the victim has none left, the Unraveller un-happens something else, like the victim's name, memories, senses of taste, or color. Wicked Unravellers move in water as easily as land.
Undine NPCs
The Blue Queen
Ancient undine and last surviving priestess of their nearly forgotten goddess. She is a mostly benevolent tyrant, but has no tolerance for anyone that risks breaching the security of her city. She has many agents across the continent, all of whom are eager to put ambitious adventurers to good use. Her plans to reconquer Old Thalassa do not necessarily square with the interests of land dwellers.
Priest of Rasp with an apocalyptic bent. Lives in a human village, trying to root out a diabolist that has been sickening livestock and ruining crops. He will reward anyone willing to help, but he is very tight-lipped about his past in New Thalassa.
Undine, a class for LotFP
HP and Saves as Cleric, XP as Magic-User
Undine have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. Because their tail is powerful and nearly serpentine, they can move normal speed on land and in water. They can breathe both air and water, as well.
An undine can sing to put enemies to sleep. An undine's song can affect anything that hears it.
When a target hears an undine's song, they must make a Save vs Paralysis with a penalty equal to half the undine's level. If they fail, they fall motionless until roused or they succeed another Save vs Paralysis, which they can make every round.
An undine can affect a number of HD of enemies equal to their level with a single song. Singing requires complete concentration; an undine cannot move or make any other action on the turn they sing.

After a Labor Day trip to New York City, I returned to Colorado to find highs in the upper 90's and sweltering heat, not that the east coast was cool either. I spent Sunday at Rocky Flats Lounge watching the first Packer game of the season in what felt like a sweaty, stinky sauna. The week started horribly for me, with two broken RTD buses in one day, and a spider bite that caused my leg to swell, and rain that started on Monday. I welcomed it originally as a break from the heat. Tuesday I walked to the bus home in street flooding in Denver and returned home soaked to the bone. I complained to friends about some sort of bad luck streak. Little did I know, things would get much worse, and that in the end I would be one of the lucky ones.
Wednesday 9/11/13
I live on a ridge in South Boulder but am a meteorology professor in downtown Denver. Wednesday night I got back to Boulder around 8:00pm and had to stop at the pharmacy to get advice and supplies to deal with a spider bite I had gotten the night before. Dr. Hancock, the entomologist in the biology department down the hall had assured me that it wasn't necrotic, so I was just treating swelling. The pharmacist set me up with some benadryl and calamine lotion. I grabbed some food, and left the King Soopers store at the corner of Table Mesa and Broadway around 8:15pm. As I approached the doors to the parking lot, rain was coming down harder than I have ever seen. It reminded me of something you might see in the tropics. The parking lot was full of water. The umbrella helped keep my head dry, but that was about it. The parking lot was 3-4" deep with water and as I got into the car and approached Table Mesa, a river of water was running down the right lane towards Broadway. The southwest corner of Broadway and Table Mesa was like a small pond, but my Subaru Outback made it through and I carefully headed up the hill to my house in the pouring rain.
I returned to find that a beam that runs through my condo had water seeping along it and dripping onto the ground. I set up a bucket and some towels and went online to follow the flash flooding situation that was unfolding while I ate my dinner and took my Benadryl. Twitter, the Boulder Sheriff scanner, and local friends on Facebook who are also meteorologists were my best resources.
Jamestown, Fourmile, and Lyons news were very, very concerning to me.
I finally went to bed at 3:30am after realizing I needed to be functional on Thursday. The whole night before and after I went to bed consisted of CU alert text messages as well as Emergency Alerts. It was not a good sleep.
Thursday morning, 6:30am on 9/12/13
My mom called at 6:30 (she forgets sometimes that we live in different time zones). I explained to her that people were cut off by mudslides, that Boulder was probably ruined, and I was very upset. I went to work on Thursday after considering staying home. A fellow professor texted that he made it in from my neighborhood and I followed shortly behind him on the bus in full rain gear. I had two classes and decided it was best to leave Denver afterwards ASAP or get stranded there for the weekend and not be able to protect my property in Boulder. Cherry creek looked crazy.
|Cherry Creek, Speer near Larimer, Denver
The rain was really coming down. I opened my garage door and a river of water poured out. It had been pushing on the door. The back of the garage is about 4 feet underground, and is very, very poorly constructed. There is a hole in the corner and the river of water draining down from the mountains was finding its way into this hole and into my garage. Water in my garage is not new. Every time it rains we get a few inches of rain in the back and I own a shop vac that I use to suck it up. Honestly, my HOA is too poorly run to fix the problem, despite my five years of nagging them about it. I am only a renter, so nothing gets done. Thanks, HOA. This was the first time the entire garage was inundated, and that the water was actually flowing through the garage. This video was taken late Thursday afternoon by my condo, car, and garage, which is the open one on the right near the end. Things got worse than this, but rather than thinking to capture it with video, I Facetimed with my parents to show them and have no record of it.
While I was dealing with my garage, I took a walk around the neighborhood. My condo neighborhood consists of several buildings with eight units each. Four units at ground level and four on the second/third floors. 90% of the ground units are actually garden level units about 3-6 feet below the level of the grass. You enter their homes by taking 3-4 stairs down into their porch area where their front door and patio door open to a porch area. In our backyard is a drainage area and across the street are the mountains (Green Mountain, South Boulder Peak, Bear Peak, location of the "Flagstaff Fire" of 2012). My condo is a ground unit that is above ground on a little hill and is east-facing. The neighborhood contains a mix of professionals, retirees, second homes/vacation homes and vacant units that have been on the market for ages.
On my first walk around, I found several units whose gutters were draining about 6 inches from the edge of the foundation. Yet another example of the fabulous work of our HOA, right? I went in my garage and found some long pieces of metal and placed them strategically for two neighbors who were closest to a developing river in our backyard. I was able to extend the gutters about 4 feet each so the water was no longer contributing to the puddles in their low porch areas.
I noticed a woman who had just gotten back from the store, perhaps in superior, and had eight bags of mulch that she was planning to use as sand bags. I followed her to her unit and realized she was flooding. Her neighbors set up the mulch bags against her patio door while I grabbed my shop vac from the garage and had her start sucking water up from her living room floor, then dumping the water in her bathtub. I started bailing water from her porch, which is a tiled surface with a hole where a sump pump existed, but was no longer working. The water was at worst 6" deep and against her patio door, and at best, just at the level of the tile at the top of the hole. I bailed water from the hole using a 3 gallon bucket and walked each bucket-full up her stairs and across the sidewalk to the drainage ditch where I dumped it into standing water. I probably did this for an hour. I was wearing a baseball cap to keep water out of my face, my rain jacket, yoga pants, and croc galoshes with wool socks. I quickly became soaked to the bone despite my gear, my spider bite taunting me under my boots. The woman, who is probably my age, had a fabulous condo with wood floors and a beautiful kitchen. She was panicked and just kept doing what she could do. I left for a bit.
I walked by her neighbors who had more water in their porch. They had about 6" of water against their patio door and it was pouring into their condo. They had three people bailing water and getting nowhere. Another woman in the same building had given up. None of them had working sump pumps.
I went home and called my dad who is a pipeline engineer and just a really smart guy. Several years ago our home town had a flash flood and he famously saved my cousin's basement that lacked a drain plug by taking a nerf football and stuffing it in the hole. I explained the situation this woman was in. I could not keep up with bailing water. The sump pump was broken, I didn't know what was in that hole. He had several ideas and warnings. #1 Water was coming into the porch areas via the drain that conceivable lead to the drainage area behind our condos. Could we plug the drain? #2 Sump pumps were likely broken because they had been working too hard for too long. #3 We could try to stop water from pumping into the condos by setting up a tarp and trying to get it as tight as possible across the patio door using a 2X4 and #4 The minute you find yourself standing in a puddle of water using an electronic device, you are at risk of death. Be careful. I hung up with my dad and ran to the garage for supplies.
I found zero things that could plug the drain. I found a tarp and a 2X4 and took that to the bailers whose patio window had water against it. It didn't help. I talked to the woman about her drain and we had no drain plug. We couldn't keep it from coming up. She had unplugged the sump pump for a bit and when she plugged it back in, it started working again. I left her and went home again.
The waterfall by the stairs in the video above is coming from a newly-formed creek that had formed behind my condo building. I found the closest person to this intense flooding and offered them a pump I had in my garage. They decided they didn't need it yet, but told me about two older men who were in deep trouble closer to the main road. I walked over and found them with a foot of water in their deep porch and offered the pump. Yes, they wanted it. We got all of the hoses connected and couldn't get the pump to work. Their pump was already broken. Could we try a siphon? We tried. It didn't work, the porch was too deep. I bailed water for them to try to catch them up from the distraction of the pump while one of the men was on the phone begging his ex wife to bring him sand bags. I eventually went home in the darkness. It was probably 9:00. They were in big trouble, but there was nothing more I could do.
I showered quickly, starting to wonder what was in the water I had been standing in for the last 5 hours with my spider wound on my leg exposed. I never ate dinner. Before I got on the 2:30 bus, my colleague and I split up to find food and water to bring home, then met on the bus fully stocked for the unknown. My "lunch" was still sitting on my coffee table uneaten. I took a few bites, but it was apparent that adrenaline could get me further, while usually I suffer from sensitive blood sugar levels.
I found my bed covered in water from the leakage from the beam. It was sandy and brown water, very gross. I'll probably have to throw away my feather-topper. I stripped the bed and moved the bed to the other side of the small room where it still sits. I set up more buckets and towels. I found some clean sheets and prepared my bed for some much needed sleep, then went to catch up on the news.
|Lots of confusing information. Bear Creek is down the hill from my house, right next to my grocery store. The wall of water was supposed to hit at midnight.
I slept very well after running on 3 hours of sleep and adrenaline for 48 hours.
Friday the sun came out briefly. 9/13/13 Friday the 13th.
I woke up on Friday and could barely move. Bailing water is hard work! I went for a 4 mile walk to see some damage, loosen up my muscles, and see if the road closure map was correct in indicating that I was stuck in my neighborhood. My neighbors were busy pumping out water, cutting out carpet, and removing all flooring from the units. I checked out the damage at Bear Creek, which runs along Table Mesa between Lehigh and Broadway. I found lots of damage along the creek and evidence that it was running down the street on both sides during the night.

Saturday 9/14/13
Saturday is a blur of boring isolation. I went to my neighbor's house to get back my shop vac. Her house was void of flooring and smelled like raw fish. They had come in and ripped it all out for her that morning. It was too wet under the floor to keep it in. Her once perfect apartment was now a slab of dirty concrete and heavy duty fans. Neighbors were also removing flooring and some had moving trucks for all of their furniture. I sucked what was left of the water in my garage into my shop vac and poured it outside before it started raining again.
At one point I finally went to the grocery store to grab ingredients for chili. Upon my return I lost power. It came back on long enough for me to make my chili and get out candles and flashlights. Around 8:00pm it was off for the night. I sat around and watched a movie on my ipad until I was tired enough to go to sleep. At 2:00am the power came back on and I had to go around turning everything off. (I would continue to lose power for several months after this.)
Sunday 9/15/13
It started pouring again around 9:30am. I got a message from a pregnant friend that she needed help getting her things out of her basement, but another group of friends was able to get to her. We were told that South Boulder was having sewage backup in people's basements, so we shouldn't flush, do laundry, or send anything down the drain. Later we found that while cleaning the pipes, baseball sized rocks were found inside. I'm still obeying the no-flush rule until tomorrow.
The Packer game wasn't on TV so I started to write this blog post while I watched live channel 7 coverage of the flooding. I lost power again and began prepping for class as long as my laptop battery would last.
Another friend called. She lives in my neighborhood but is gone for the semester and had a friend staying at her place. The friend was no where to be found, the power had been out all weekend, and she heard there was water in her basement. I drove over and helped a neighbor set up a generator for her sump pump. It was too late, really. 2" of water in her basement is enough to require a full flooring makeover and probably drywall. I ran home, grabbed a gas can (plenty of those around considering we used to own a VW van) and ran to the gas station to fill up my gas can for the generator and dropped it off for the neighbor to refill the generator throughout the night. I returned home to find my electricity was back on. It was still raining.
School is back on for Monday, despite the continuing devastation. I guess this is where my story ends. 16"+ of rain since last Monday. It's raining as I post this. I'll leave you with a few links to interesting information, meteorologically.

Rainfall Records Smashed in Boulder from September 9th -14th
• Record rainfall for a 24 hour period for the City of Boulder 9.08" from 5PM Wednesday September 11th - 5PM Thursday September 12th. Previous record 4.80" 7/31/1919
• Record rainfall for the month of September for Boulder 17.18" Previous record 5.50" 09/30/1940
• Monthly rainfall record in Boulder 17.18" so far for September 2013. Previous record 9.60" May 1995
• New Annual precipitation Record Established for Boulder 30.14" through September 16th 2013...Previous record 29.47" 1995
• Nearly one year's worth of rain in less than one week
My analysis of the meteorology and climatology of it all will just have to wait until I can concentrate on that type of thing. Considering I have four classes tomorrow, I have a feeling that won't be for a while.
Until then,
stay dry.

Introduction: Integration of health services and medical education - the brief manifest of Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) - has been studied mainly from the perspective of health service and medical education quality so far. The objective of present study however, is to examine the impact of integrated structure of MOHME on domestic research utilization. Macro-level policy makers in charge of designing the national research and innovation system are expected to benefit from the results of this study.
Methods: The study was conducted in form of Grounded Theory and through interviews with a wide range of persons ranging from policy makers to healthcare providers in medical and non-medical groups.
Results: 'Integration' has not fully evolved yet. Beyond the structural changes that have been created at the higher levels of MOHME and medical universities, a set of processes should have been defined for attainment of the desired goals. Neither the created structural changes have covered the level of educational and research groups, nor the set of needed processes has been defined. The issue of inadequate research utilization is not limited to health sector, but is also present in other pillars of the national research and innovation system.
Conclusion: From the perspective of health research, the national research and innovation system should be defined at the macro level before making any decisions about changing the current structures. The reason is that the main problems of the research system in Iran are not confined to medical sciences or the 'integration', but more general and drastic issues are existent. Any putative structural changes in the 'integration' and medical sciences should be viewed only as secondary to these main issues.

Are you hip to HIPAA?
August 27, 2018 by
Members of the claims management team obtain medical records on a frequent basis when investigating workers' compensation claims. It is important they do this promptly given the many constraints of workers' compensation laws. Given the nature of these requests, state and federal privacy laws come into play. Failure to understand these laws and their requirements can lead to delay and problems down the road. Now is the time to better understand these laws and how to incorporate them into your team's best practices.
It All Starts with HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) serves as the basis for healthcare privacy and the dissemination of medical records in the United States. The law was enacted in 1996 to address the many issues medical providers were facing and to protect the privacy of all individuals. In essence, it serves as the baseline for standards enacted at the state level for all covered entities.
Understanding the Basics of HIPAA
To understand the law, it is important to understand when it applies and whom it protects. HIPAA applies to all "covered entities," which are defined under 45 C.F.R. §160.103, as:
Health care providers who transmit "protected health information;"
Entities that process personal health information (healthcare clearinghouses);
Health plans such as Group Health Plans; and
Any business partner of a "covered entity."
It is also important to note that the federal law applies to "protected health information," otherwise known as PHI. This is information defined under 45 C.F.R. §164.501, which is individually identifiable health information maintained or transmitted in any form, whether electronically, on paper or orally.
Exceptions to HIPAA in Work Comp
Employees at healthcare providers are required to know and understand HIPAA and have a duty to protect a patient's PHI. Continue reading How to Use HIPAA to Obtain Timely Medical Records

Stories about the de Blasio NYPD keep coming in. In this case, they did so many things; it is hard to know what to put in the headline.
It started at a Foot Locker store in Bushwick, NY. Fifteen-year-old Isaiah Martinez was shot in the foot. Supposedly, he tried to cut in line to buy some special shoe. He offended the wrong person—a man or youth named "Ritchie," he told police.
So how did the police find "Ritchie"?
The brilliant investigators of the NYPD went into Martinez's Facebook account and found he had a fourteen-year-old friend named, Richard Gonzalez. On that basis alone, despite Martinez's denials that Gonzalez was the perpetrator, they arrested Gonzalez and charged him with attempted murder.
The police now needed a confession since both the accused and the victim of the original attack denied that the accused was actually guilty. According to the family's lawsuit, the police got hold of Gonzalez in the men's room and ripped out his insulin pump, which gave him a needed regular insulin boost. They used this to intimidate him to confess to the shooting. When Gonzalez appeared in juvenile court he was "gagging, dizzy, weak, and nauseous" because his blood-sugar levels were high. In the days following he had to be sent to two hospitals and spent three nights handcuffed to the bed in one of them.
Gonzalez's family could not afford the $75,000 bail, so he was sent to another juvenile prison where he ended up in the hospital twice more due to lack of insulin.
And then, finally, all the charges were dropped because—duh—there was never any evidence against him.
Gonzalez's mother claims that they are now in danger because her son is regarded as a "snitch." I have no idea if that is accurate or just away to try to get the powers that be to compensate her for what they have done to her and her son. When she had insisted that she be present when the police first question her fourteen-year-old, the cops denied her request and threatened her with jail.
As these and more stories about how the NYPD harass, torture, and kill people come out, always remember that this culture of violence and domination goes all the way to the top. As Ed Krayewski wrote recently in Reason,
In the last few weeks, a series of videos purporting to depict police brutality by the members of the New York Police Department (NYPD) have spread on the Internet. The most egregious showed the attempted arrest of Eric Garner for allegedly selling untaxed loose cigarettes. Cops placed Garner in what looked like a chokehold and the 400-pound asthmatic died in police custody. The incident was ruled a homicide by chokehold by the city's medical examiner. In another case, a cop appeared to use a chokehold on a pregnant woman caught grilling in front of her house. Another showed a cop appearing to head stomp a man police were attempting to arrest because they had seen him with a small amount of marijuana—it was at least the man's eighth arrest.
The substance of these incidents vary on the level and type of brutality while effecting an arrest but share one important trait: each incident began with a police engagement based on crimes that are non-violent in nature. Garner, before cops tried to arrest him, had adamantly denied that he was selling any untaxed cigarettes that day. The pregnant woman appeared only to be trying to cook some food on the sidewalk in front of her house. Marijuana is supposed to be decriminalized in the state of New York.
Yet in a press conference this week New York City's progressive mayor, Democrat Bill de Blasio, insisted the police department would continue to "strictly enforce" such laws as the ones that led to the series of controversial police interactions. "The law is the law," the mayor said. These kinds of laws, however, disproportionately affect the same kind of people—the poor and marginalized—that De Blasio and his ideological fellow-travelers adamantly claim to defend. Absent brutal encounters with police violations of petty laws can lead to thousands of dollars in fines, multiple court appearances, and even jail time. What amounts to a "minor inconvenience" in the eyes of the privileged political class that pushes these laws can have profound negative effects on the lives of normal people. Coupled with the threat of bodily harm or even death during the initial police encounter, such "petty" crimes become anything but for the people the government targets in its enforcement efforts.
Right, the law is the law. Just like, you know, traffic laws are completely enforced for de Blasio himself as much as anyone else.
"The law is the law" only works when not uttered by a hypocrite bully firing shots from behind his son's afro.

Man City forward Stevan Jovetic desperate to prove his class in his second season
STEVAN JOVETIC is ready to prove he's no £22m flop.
The Montenegro hitman endured a difficult first season at Manchester City following his mega money switch from Fiorentina.
Injury problems, homesickness and a lack of form hurt the 24-year-old, who made just two Premier League starts.
Inter Milan have been desperate to bring Jovetic back to Italy but boss Manuel Pellegrini insisted over the weekend that the striker is going nowhere.
And if his pre-season displays are anything to go by, Pellegrini's decision could be one of the best he's ever made.
Jovetic was superb in City's 5-1 thrashing of Mario Balotelli's AC Milan on Sunday night , scoring a superb brace to cap a brilliant all-round display.
"My injury problems are all okay now. I had a three-week rest and after that I started doing the programme that City set for me"Stevan Jovetic
With Alvaro Negredo crocked and Sergio Aguero still searching for fitness, Jovetic will get his chance at City - and he's determined to take it.
He said: "My injury problems are all okay now. I had a three-week rest and after that I started doing the programme that City set for me.
"We had 10 days in Scotland and then came here. I feel good and I hope the fans are going to see a lot of things from me.
"Last year I think I played well when I was fit. This year hopefully when I have a good preparation with the team it's going to be a different story.
"This time last year, the problem was that they finished with the first part of pre-season in South Africa and I was waiting to sign. I was working alone but it's not the same.
"Then when I arrived they were starting to play matches and I was always behind the rest of the squad.
"I was with the national team and I wanted to play 90 minutes to get more fitness.
"That was a mistake because I got hurt and came into the season injured.
"Then I was always behind and had one injury after another, it was difficult. In that moment you just have to believe in yourself and when that five minutes comes to enjoy it and play well like I did.
"I hope that this year I'm going to score many goals."
Jovetic looked to be on his way out at the end of last term but the 24-year-old is determined to show his undoubted class in the Premier League.
He added: "I wasn't happy - that was obvious. I didn't play. But I never said it was better to leave England. I know I'm good, I know I can play here. In the last few months of the season, when I was fit, I played well, every game.
"I have the manager's confidence and I feel stronger. I hope now the City fans will see the real Jovetic."

Just bought this truck and it has 340000km on it and it still runs perfect I love it.
24th Aug 2008, 04:37
Mike. Just buy a new radiator. I did and it fixed everything in my 1990 B2600i, all overheating problems fixed. It gets hot quickly if sitting still. Freeway is cooler cause of the air. It acted weird also. Knocked sometimes and other times was fine.
15th Sep 2008, 14:29
I currently own a 1990 Mazda B-2600i 2WD. Great running truck. When I bought it the dealer sold it to me with a blown head gasket, clogged radiator, stuck thermostat, and a busted fan clutch. I bought it at roughly 130K Miles and now it has a little near 154K Miles. I replaced the spark plugs, wires, and distributor cap and the fuel mileage went to about 20 MPG in city. Right now the timing chain needs replacing and I am having some slight trouble with a valve in the first cylinder, but it is still running fine. Has plenty of power for everything I need. Gets around great. Very nice little truck, definitely worth keeping up.
19th Oct 2008, 20:50
I love the little truck too, but I just can't find a rear end. I'd like to get another so I can drive it again. Mine just rolled over 200000 and it runs great and loves the redline. It's a 1990 Mazda B2600i 4x4 SE-5. I just want to find another rear end.
12th Aug 2009, 16:49
I have wanted one of these trucks for a long time!! My goal is to bag one of them!
I have a 1991 Mazda B2600i that I bought with 110k. It has 176 now!!!
It overheated when I bought it! New thermostat and radiator fixed the overheating problem!
I've had to put in a new clutch, spark plugs, brake pads, rear differential (due to me abusing it in the beginning), oil changes! That's it!
I've put two auxiliary fans inside the radiator and one on the AC condenser!
It never overheats, the A/C never gets hot, even sitting for a long time!! I would seriously not trade my truck for anything, I wish the Blue Book on them were higher :-)
I just recently purchased a 1990 Mazda B2600i with 145KI. Had to put in a new ECM, water pump, RADIATOR, thermostat!
I recommend any time you see one of these trucks go up for sale, get it! You might have a few problems in the beginning, but once you work out the bugs they are very dependable vehicles...
PS I would not buy a carburated Mazda; I've owned three and they are hard to pass emissions. My opinion.
19th Jan 2018, 22:21
I have a 1990 Mazda 4x4 SE 2.6 fuel injected. It has about 300 thousand miles on it. Last summer it went missing on number 3 cylinder. It is getting spark, it has 150 PSI on number 3, but it misfires. I have been trying to troubleshoot my problem, but I'm at a crossroad; it has 90 PSI on #1, 30 PSI on #2, 150 PSI on #3, and 120 on #4. Anybody have any suggestions?

Just so we're clear, any of the sequels to these novels also fall under this category. (In case there was any confusion there) There are many more out there, you just have to look for them, but these can't get you started!
2. Manga/Anime
Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were my childhood. Seriously. (Pokemon is now on Netflix by the way. Alleluia!) But that's just the start. There are so many manga series out there, it's a little difficult to know where to start. These are some of my favorites, but just know that no matter what your tastes are, there's a manga that you'll love. It's true.
Just a few of my favorites to get you started. As far as anime goes, once again, there are so many to choose from. Right now, I'm hooked on Attack on Titan right now, but there are many other good ones out there. I would be happy to recommend more manga/anime based on personal preferences down in the comments section if you want more or better suggestions. It just might not happen till July 3rd when I get back.
3. Studio Ghibli
Spirited Away. Enough said. If you have not watched this movie or Howl's Moving Castle or Kiki's Delivery Service or any of these other wonderful movies, look them up right now. I MEAN IT!!
4. K-Pop
Dear God. I have no idea how I got started on K-Pop, but it has taken over my life. You've probably seen/heard of Gangam Style, but that's just a tiny peek into this huge industry. I don't even know how to describe it. You just need to watch it and start getting hooked. These are some of my favorites. Observe.
This one's a little creepy and gross by the way…but you should watch it anyway.
I've just barely scratched the surface. There are so many more groups, it's unbelievable. Once again, feel free to ask for more suggestions. I would be more than happy to give them.
Ok. I'm going to stop now before my head explodes from all this awesomeness. I would introduce the concept of dramas, but I don't want you to put off anything important you need to do for the rest of your life just so you can watch all these shows…which you would if you watched a couple of them. Believe me.
So I won't…unless you ask very nicely.
That's all for me today. Tune in tomorrow for more exciting things to come. This has been co-blogger Emily reporting from Japan. Over and out.
Oh hello there! My name is Emily, though some of you may know me as the Bookie Monster. As the name would suggest, I devour books like the Cookie Monster devours cookies. In my spare time, I like to bake cookies (and devour those as well) and dream about taking over the world. As if my book obsession wasn't life consuming enough,
I work in the children's room at my local library and I am currently a sophomore in college majoring in English. It's safe to say I'm a bit of a book fanatic. I discreetly shed a few tears on my eleventh birthday when I did not receive my Hogwarts acceptance letter and I waited seven hours outside in the rain just to get a good seat at the Hunger Games midnight premiere. I'm terrified of blood and Disney movies make me cry (in a good way). My passions include hippos, hugs, and Hans Zimmer…and uh,long walks on the beach. I'm just a normal girl with a slightly abnormal and frightfully expensive obsession. Nice to meet you!

They just have something that's difficult to explain. These incomplete, oft-injured, Big Ten-contending, won't-go-away-even-on-the-road No. 7 Michigan State Spartans.
Somehow, they knocked off No. 15 Iowa in Iowa City on Tuesday during a brutal Big Ten game that even the purists would call foul. There was nothing pretty about the 71-69 Michigan State overtime win.
There were mostly mistakes.
Officials made the bulk of them -- so many missed calls, confusing whistles and inconsistency.
Early in the second half, Keith Appling triple-jumped to the bucket and scored. It apparently wasn't a travel. Fran McCaffery drew a technical after he protested -- and that wasn't the worst call of the night.
The officials were joined in folly by the two teams competing against one another for a meaningful Big Ten win.
You could have watched "Titanic" twice during Iowa's lengthy stretch without a field goal (in reality, it a 14:50 period that started in the second half, bled into overtime and felt like forever). There were 63 combined free throws (43 attempts by Iowa, 20 by Michigan State).
Roy Devyn Marble scored 21 points on a 7-for-15 night. Iowa's other starters? Just 6-for-19. Michigan State committed 29 fouls and made just 11 of 20 free throws.
In the end, however, Michigan State snatched the win from an Iowa team that should watch this game film for the rest of the season until it captures the grit that the Spartans boast.
Matt Costello's late tip-in and Russell Byrd's crippling 3-pointer with 33 seconds remaining in the extra period that gave the Spartans a six-point edge were examples of that grit.
They held a bigger Iowa team to just 10 points in the paint during the final 25 minutes of the game, per ESPN Stats & Information.
The Spartans were missing two key starters -- Adreian Payne (foot) and Branden Dawson (broken hand) -- on the road against an Iowa team that usually employs 10 guys with minimal drop-off and yet Michigan State still won.
It wasn't all offense. Appling, Denzel Valentine, Gary Harris, Byrd and Costello were all significant playmakers for Michigan State throughout the night. The team hit clutch shots down the stretch that the Hawkeyes couldn't match.
And it wasn't all defense. Michigan State was tough on Iowa but some of the shots were mysteriously awry for McCaffery's program. Nothing would fall.
The Spartans keep fighting, despite their limitations. They haven't been healthy all season, but they're still legitimate candidates for the Big Ten title. Payne and Dawson will eventually return. But they don't have any plans to accept mediocrity until they're available.
Every team abides by a similar motto when star players are lost for a chunk or all of the season. They all say the same thing.
We just have to go out there and focus on the guys we have on the floor.
It's always some variation of that. And it's nonsense.
In practice it's never easy to adjust to life without the guy or guys who do things that only they can do for a program. Costello is no Payne. The latter is a unique inside-outside threat who is a young man birthed from the athletic, Euro-hybrid breed.
Yes, they miss Dawson, too. Not just because of what he brings on paper, but because he embodies the brashness that Tom Izzo's programs have historically embraced.
And yet, there they were in Iowa City throwing punches, ignoring what they didn't have and focusing on the guys on the floor. They were deliberate, relentless and nasty.
You need that edginess to win conference titles and to survive in the postseason.
Iowa doesn't have that yet.
That was apparent right after the opening tipoff. The Hawkeyes were walking while Michigan State was running. The Spartans seized a 10-3 lead that set the tone for the night.
You should be worried, not us.
That was their message.
And that bravado, expressed by a team that probably shouldn't have it given its circumstances, can confuse teams.
The Hawkeyes were at home but looked like a frustrated road team for a portion of the evening. They eventually returned fire and even took a significant lead in the final minutes of regulation. But they couldn't hold onto it, and the near 15-minute stretch without a field goal didn't help.
But in a game like that, when everything seems to be going wrong for everyone and neither team is playing to its potential, a moment or two can dictate the outcome.
Melsahn Basabe's late misses. Zach McCabe's would-be layup that became a turnover when he got blocked a foot from the basket. Byrd's 3-pointer in the corner in the final seconds of overtime.
Last season, Iowa would have been given credit just for pushing the Spartans. But not this one. The Hawkeyes are too talented for passes and excuses. They have to win games against contenders if they want to be a serious factor in the NCAA tournament.
On Tuesday, they looked like a team that was waiting for something. Waiting for Marble to make something happen. Waiting for a lucky bounce. Waiting for Michigan State to miss.
And that was the difference in the end.
The Spartans just took it.

by Susan and Brian Hall
On March 8th 75 members headed into the wind and snow and cold to reach the Jasper Inn for a chili dinner prepared by tour hosts Brian and Susan Hall.
Monday saw 16 intrepid members ski in -34 C temperatures with a wind chill of -178 C (approx). They bore the brunt of some good-natured ribbing but when all was said and done, they had the widest smiles. Tuesday was somewhat warmer and a few more skiers enjoyed Marmot. Wednesday was tropical (about -8 C) and everyone was outside in brilliant sunshine. Those not skiing, strolled the town, being careful to avoid the "chocolate covered candies" on the sidewalks.
Louise Gurry, a flatlander from Saskatoon, joined the club to ski with her sister, Liz Donald. What a great sibling's trip.
New member Milt Gilmore, a Jasper resident and co-owner of Totem Ski Shop, had planned a demo day exclusively for club members. The weather froze that plan but Milt assures us there will be lots of opportunities to do it next year.
The Jasper Inn served a delicious club dinner on Wednesday evening.
"The talk" that Brian gave at the Sunday dinner must have worked because we had no reported injuries during the trip. Thanks everyone, for playing safely.
Despite the cold temperatures, 4 days of blue skies, sunshine and fun raised our spirits.
