The Pilot Grove girls and the Ss. Peter & Paul boys took home titles over the weekend in the 39th annual New Franklin 5th-6th Grade Tournament.
While the Lady Tigers edged the Boonville Splash in a nailbiter 18-17, the Warrior boys upended Pilot Grove for the title by a score of 40-32.
In other games in the tournament, the Slater girls won third place over New Franklin's A-team 13-7 while the Fayette boys upended New Franklin's A-team in the third-place game by a score of 18-15. Meanwhile, in the consolation finals, Fayette girls defeated Glasgow 13-11 while the Slater boys beat Glasgow 25-15. In the seventh-place games, the Ss. Peter & Paul girls won 20-6 over New Franklin's B-team while the New Franklin B-team boys finished two better than Boonville's fifth grade team 6-4.
In the girls championship game, the Boonville Splash led Pilot Grove 13-8 at the half and 17-13 after three quarters of play but was outscored 5-0 in the final period to suffer the loss.
Melanie Wolfe had the high game for Pilot Grove with seven points. Chloe Schlotzhauer chipped in four while Kylee Sprick added three and Alexis Reuter and Taylor Renfrow each with two.
For Ss. Peter & Paul, Jacey Felten had six, Katie Cooper five, Jalyn Schnetzler four and Sydney Quint with two.
Sprick also hit a buzzer beater right before the half to change momentum for Pilot Grove.
According to Boonville coach Brett Cooper, the Splash led by as much as eight during the game and didn't give up the lead until the last minute of the fourth quarter when Pilot Grove connected on an outside shot to put them ahead by one with less than 40 seconds to play. Cooper said Boonville then got the opportunity to attack the basket but a last second shot by Katie Cooper fell short to give the Lady Tigers the victory.
"This was a tough loss four our girls," stated Cooper. "Pilot Grove has a good team and have been playing together for a couple of years. They are a good match up for any team. We really came out well early this evening and put up eight points on the board in the first quarter, but Pilot Grove was not going to let us take this win and held us scoreless during the fourth quarter. They were able to shut down our penetration and were able to capture more rebounds in the fourth quarter."
Meanwhile, in the boys championship game, Ss. Peter & Paul led Pilot Grove 21-12 at the half and 31-20 after three quarters of play. Then, in the final period, Pilot Grove rallied back with a 12-9 advantage.
Reece Lang led the scoring attack in the game for Ss. Peter & Paul, 10-0 on the season, with 23 points along with two rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Zack Watring finished the game with eight points, five rebounds and two steals while Kellen Brownfield added six points, seven rebounds, four steals and two assists, Lucas Ziegelbein with two points, one rebound and one steal, Sam Esser with one point, three rebounds, two assists and one steal, Josh Chrisman with two rebounds and one assist, Quin Gentry with two assists, one steal and one rebound, Landon Weaver with two rebounds and Eli Bechtel with one rebound.
Ss. Peter & Paul coach Kevin Lang said the boys are really playing well right now.
"Kellen and Zack did a nice job rebounding and keeping a bigger Pilot Grove team from getting second shots," Lang said. "Reece did a nice job pushing the ball up the court and scoring for us. This team always plays hard and are fun to watch."
For Pilot Grove, Bailey Quint tossed in 14 while Cole Meisenheimer and Braxton Kempf contributed six points each.
In the third place games, Slater girls led New Franklin's A-team 8-3 at the half and 13-4 after three quarters of play.
Keyanna Terrill paced all scorers in the game for Slater with seven points. New Franklin's A-team was led by Lauren Evans with four and Shelby Breshears with three.
In the boys third-place game, New Franklin's A-team opened the first half with a 8-6 lead against Fayette and then outscored the Falcons 7-6 in the third period to go up 15-12. However, in the fourth quarter, Fayette rallied back with a 6-0 advantage for the victory.
Brandon White had five points and Isaiah Estes four for Fayette.
For New Franklin's A-team, Carter Bailey had eight, Aden Jones five and Kolby Anson two.
In the girls consolation finals, Glasgow led Fayette 6-5 at the half but was outscored 4-3 in the third quarter to knot the game at 9-all. Meanwhile, in the final period, Fayette held a 4-2 scoring edge to win the game by two.

Emma Penny had seven points to lead all scorers for Ss. Peter & Paul while Maclynn Brengarth and Brooke Coleman added four points each.
For New Franklin's B-team, Bayli Collins, Karli Warner and Haley Washburn each had two points.
In the boys seventh place game, Boonville's fifth grade team led New Franklin's B-team 4-2 at the half but was outscored 4-0 in the final-two periods.
Andy Neal had the game-high for New Franklin with three points while Austin Riley added two and Morgan Volkmann with one.

I'm a lucky guy when it comes to this topic; my skin rarely has dryness issues. My wife's family, however, deals with dry skin and other related issues on a constant basis. As they live in a desert climate, this is a regular battle.
The simple truth is that no one likes to deal with dry skin. The itching, scratching annoyance can make you feel like you're a Gila monster or at least a cousin to the venomous lizard. Luckily, most dry skin results from environmental factors that you can at least partially control. Unluckily, most of these environmental factors can exist when you are houseboating.
The Mayo Clinic lists the following symptoms for typical dry skin: a feeling of skin tightness (especially after showering or bathing), skin that appears to be shrunken or dehydrated, skin that feels or looks rough, slight to severe flaking and redness. But what causes this condition? Let's get down to the nitty gritty details and learn something, shall we?
In short, dry skin is caused when the skin loses moisture. Weather is a big culprit, and if you live in the dry, dry desert of Arizona you will deal with dry skin much more than if you live in Texas, which has a humid environment. That said, winter conditions suck the moisture out of the air as well, and can exacerbate existing skin problems.
The Mayo Clinic reports that central heating and air conditioning can also contribute to dry skin by reducing humidity in your houseboat. Is it worth trading one comfort for another? That's a question everyone will have to ask himself.
Hot baths and showers, particularly frequent and long ones, break down the lipid barriers in your skin that prevent moisture from escaping. Frequent swimming, in lakes or otherwise, can also have this effect. In relation to bathing, harsh soaps, deodorant and anti-bacterial soaps are also big culprits. Shampoos dry out your scalp, as well.
Laying out on top of your houseboat means exposure to the sun, which means exposure to heat and UV rays, which penetrate deep below the top layer of your skin to damage the dermis, leading to sunburn and wrinkles.
Normally, your skin can recover from this constant assault, but for some, treatment may be needed. Severe cases that require medical attention include the following symptoms: skin that does not improve no matter what efforts you make, dry skin accompanied by redness, dryness or itchiness that interferes with sleeping and large areas of scaling or peeling skin.
But what's the big deal? Dry skin is an annoyance, sure, but do I really need to see a doctor? Unfortunately, this condition can lead to more serious problems, like atopic dermatitis (or eczema), which causes redness, cracking and inflammation. Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles brought on by dry skin. But most serious is cellulitis, which is bacterial infection of the skin's underlying tissues that may enter the lymphatic system and blood vessels, leading to sickness. This occurs when severely cracked skin creates fissures in the skin that allow bacteria to penetrate.
So how do you deal with this problem? In most cases, dry skin problems respond to common-sense measures like using moisturizers and avoiding the aforementioned long, hot showers and baths. For houseboaters, this means packing plenty of moisturizers and limiting your time in the water if you are particularly susceptible to this problem.
Thicker moisturizers work best, such as over-the-counter brands Eucerin and Cetaphil. If your skin is extremely dry, you may want to apply baby oil while your skin is still moist. The oil has a longer effect than moisturizers do, and prevents the water from evaporating from the surface of your skin. For best results, apply moisturizers immediately after bathing or swimming. Gently pat your skin with a towel so that some moisture remains in the skin, and then apply to trap water in the surface skin cells.
A humidifier is another great option when dealing with dry skin. A portable humidifier can work great in a houseboat, where hot air trapped inside can make skin conditions worse. Be sure to keep the humidifier clean, as bacteria can form and then be spread through the air.
Another thing you can do is choose fabrics that are gentle on your skin. Wool can irritate even the healthiest skin, and cause problems for people dealing with dryness issues. Use cotton and silk to allow the skin to breathe. Wash your clothes in detergents that do not use dyes or perfumes, both of which have the potential to irritate your skin.
In serious cases, a doctor may do a series of tests and prescribe prescription creams, ointments and other treatments in addition to home care.

National Rail Policy: Examining Goals, Objectives, and Responsibilities
Transcript of Hearing
Opening Statements
Chairman Jeff Denham (R-CA)
Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials
Hearing on National Rail Policy: Examining Goals, Objectives, and Responsibilities
June 27, 2013
Opening Statement
(Remarks as Prepared)
As you all know, Chairman Shuster and I are committed to rail reauthorization this year.
We have traveled across the country, talked to various state, local, and federal officials and discussed how the last reauthorization bill affected the railroad industry. We have heard suggestions on how we need to improve our laws so rail transport can expand in a safe and efficient manner.
It is clear that the current rail authorization has helped improve passenger and freight rail service in this country. For example, PRIIA sections 209 and 212 have moved the ball forward with regard to Amtrak's state supported routes and Northeast Corridor operations. These lines of business have increased revenue and eliminated much of the need for any federal operating subsidy.
Our goal is to build on the PRIIA successes, and tackle the challenges that remain for freight and passenger rail. Hopefully this hearing will inform the Committee on what steps need to be taken to reach that goal.
As I stated earlier this year, we need to be pragmatic and transparent and will need all parties to participate in order to deliver the best bipartisan product to the House floor.
As seen by this week's House and Senate Appropriation's marks, we need to operate within realistic budget constraints and I think we all agree reforms are necessary to ensure and leverage every dollar we do have efficiently.
There is no division between the different services Amtrak provides. We need to put a structure in place to allow Congress's investment to strengthen passenger rail.
We need to prioritize in investment. We need a reliable source of funding to invest in existing infrastructure in places like California, the Midwest, and the Northeast Corridor within existing resources. This means we might have to take a hard look at pie in the sky visions such as FRA's multi-billion dollar unrealistic new proposals.
We should invest in projects that will increase safety, increase reliability and reduce trip times without breaking the bank.
Ideally, Prop 1A funding should be invested in realistic, local projects instead of a project that has no realistic business plan, no proven ridership, and exploding costs. For instance, the California State Rail Plan lists 27 capital investment projects for ACE, 36 for the San Joaquin line, and 42 for the Capitol Corridor. Each will benefit existing ridership.
Taxpayers entrust in this body their hard earned dollars and we must be sure those dollars find their way back in the form of tangible benefits.
Throughout my travels, I have heard some reoccurring questions that I want to address with the witnesses today: How do we focus our limited resources on investments that make sense, in places like California? How do we improve governance on the Northeast Corridor to ensure stakeholders have an equal seat at the decision-making table? How do we leverage private sector investment and innovative financing to enhance our ability to invest in infrastructure projects?
These issues are just an example of the difficult task that must tackle together in the next few months.

EPA Reaches Settlement on Groundwater Cleanup at the Davis Liquid Waste Superfund Site in Smithfield R.I.
Release Date: 12/29/2011
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – December 29, 2011) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has reached a settlement with respect to the Davis Liquid Waste Superfund Site in Smithfield, R.I. Pursuant to the settlement, the Settling Defendants will implement the groundwater cleanup at the Site. They also will be financially responsible for 100 percent of future response costs, including oversight costs. The settlement agreement was signed by multiple Settling Defendants, the EPA, the State of Rhode Island and the United States Department of Justice.
"This settlement is good news for the citizens of Smithfield because now cleanup efforts will be able to proceed apace," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "EPA is very pleased that all the parties were able to reach a positive settlement for the site, for local residents and for a cleaner environment."
"The settlement announced today allows the state to finally move forward with a plan and much needed funding to remediate the environmental damage caused by years of dumping hazardous chemical wastes at the Davis site," said Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin. "This clean-up is on top of the successful action the Office of Attorney General and DEM already took to get the millions of tires removed. The residents in the vicinity of the site can breathe easier knowing a remedy to the problem that plagued them for many years is in sight. I commend the EPA and the state Department of Environmental Management for working with our office on a settlement that brings a resolution to a serious environmental problem and demands action from those responsible."
"The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is pleased to begin the groundwater phase of the cleanup at the Davis Liquid Site. This site has presented real and potential threats to the citizens of Rhode Island for too long. Its clean up has been complex and time consuming, and included the installation of the Davis Waterline, the treatment of almost 30,000 yards of contaminated soil, the removal of buried hazardous waste drums and the removal of over six million discarded tires. We look forward to participating in this final step of the process by treating the contaminated groundwater that remains on the site. This agreement further emphasizes that the Department is going to work diligently to hold parties responsible for their acts, to ensure protective cleanups that safeguard our natural resources and protect environmental quality for all Rhode Islanders," said Janet Coit, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management Director.
In 1992, the Office of Attorney General on behalf of the state initiated a suit against William Davis requiring the removal of millions of tires that had been disposed at the site as far back as the 1970s. Although the last of the tires were removed in 2000, the Office of Attorney General remains committed to the remediation of the environmental hazards that existed on the site as a result of decades of solid and hazardous waste storage.
The Settling Defendants include: Ashland Inc.; the Black and Decker Corporation; FKI Industries, Inc. f/k/a Acco-Bristol Division of Babcock Industries, Inc.; Bristol, Inc.; Morton International, LLC; Rohm and Haas Company; and Life Technologies Corporation.
Under this Consent Decree, the Settling Defendants agree to perform the groundwater remedial design/remedial action at the Site for "Operable Unit 2," and will pay all future response costs including oversight costs.
EPA will contribute up to $9.5 million of Special Account funds to the groundwater cleanup. The money in the Special Account is made up of payments made by previous settling parties, set aside specifically for use at the Site.
The major contaminants of concern in the overburden and bedrock groundwater that exceed federal and state standards are: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as tetrachlorethene, trichloroethene, vinyl chloride and benzene; semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), including bis (2-chloroethyl)ether; pesticides, such as aldrin and dieldrin; and metals, including arsenic and maganese.
Exposure risks to residents from contaminated groundwater have been minimized since homes in the area are now on public water.
In 2010, EPA signed a Record of Decision (ROD) Amendment to the cleanup remedy for the Site. This remedy decision called for:
- Performing pre-design investigations to gather additional information to support the design of the remedy.
- Injecting a treatment reagent into the plume core to chemically and biologically degrade contaminants in the overburden aquifer.
- Injecting reagent into the bedrock in the former source area to address the most contaminated part of the bedrock plume.
- Implementing institutional controls to prevent future use of the groundwater.
- Performing long-term monitoring and five-year reviews to ensure the remedy is protective of human health and the environment.
The Davis Liquid Waste Superfund Site is located on approximately 10 acres in a rural section of Smithfield, Rhode Island. Throughout the 1970s, the Site accepted liquid and chemical wastes, such as paint and metal sludges, oily wastes, solvents, acids, caustics, pesticides, phenols, halogens, metals, fly ash, and laboratory pharmaceuticals. Liquid wastes were transported in drums and bulk tank trucks, and were dumped directly into unlined lagoons and seepage pits. The operator periodically excavated the semi-solid lagoon materials, dumped these materials at several locations on the Site, and covered them with soil. Other operations included the collection of salvaged vehicles and machine parts, metal recycling, and tire shredding. During the mid-1970s, local officials received complaints from nearby residents about chemical odors in their private water supply. The drinking water wells were found to have been contaminated by a variety of chemicals. In 1983, EPA added the Site to the Superfund National Priorities List. The Amendment to the ROD, along with other reports, are available for public review at the Davis Liquid Waste Superfund Site repository located at the Greenville Public Library at 573 Putnam Pike in Smithfield, RI and at the EPA Records Center in Boston.

Composed Eccentric
what I don't get is why they don't address Saber's mana problem. She keeps conserving it because Shirou can't provide mana. Recently though she falls unconcious and the fights are getting more and more serious...
Can't he be thought how to give Saber mana?

Episode summary
Just watched the raw...
Pre OP is Shinji wandering about town,
First bit is Shirou talking to Taiga via phone - she's fine and even having seconds at the hospital. The events of the last ep occured yesterday from this point in time.
Shirou talks to Saber a bit - he wants to stop Shinji from creating another Blood Fort and killing people. Saber says he should rest first and simply fighting to prevent casualties isn't good. However, Shirou says he needs to make Shinji take responsibility for his actions and beating Rider is part of that.
Next Rin, Saber and Shirou discuss things. Rin suggests that Shinji might get some help from another Master, which would be no laughing matter (her laugh at this point is rather funny). But Saber is confident that she can take on Rider one-on-one. Then they discuss Rider's abilities and the upcoming battle. It's rather hard to follow all of this technical talk though. But Rin compliments Shirou on being able to think things through.
Next, Shirou and Saber check out Shinji's home (not there), then search around town, trying to see if they can locate Rider creating a new magic field. However, Shirou's injuries from the previous day catch up with him and Saber drags him to a bench in that forest. At one point Saber suggests Shirou rest with his head on her lap. Seems to be too much for him though
Anyway, Shirou fell asleep for an hour and dreams of his adopted dad again. When he wakes up he happens to mention to Saber that he used to live in the area with his real parents but they got killed in what seemed like the previous Grail war. Saber wonders if Shirou acts like he does because he simply doesn't want people to end up like him, but he says it might be even simpler - I think he feels that he has to do something to prevent more victims since he alone survived. Saber says that while it's noble to put other peoples' lives ahead of his own, if he doesn't value his own life, he'll probably regret it.
Anyway, off they go searching again and Rider sends them a little "come here" signal with magic. Saber and Rider start their battle running up the skyscraper and Rider suggests that Saber isn't too good in such conditions.
Shirou figures Shinji is at the top and decides to go get him. The lift stops part of the way and he's forced to climb the stairs. But near where he got off is Berserker and loli Master. But they don't seem to be doing anything actively.
Rider and Saber eventually get to the top of the building and Saber finds Rider riding on a pegasus. Nice. I think this is Rider's magic, not her Noble Phantasm. I think Saber also says that Rider isn't a hero from the past, but something else. Saber doesn't seem too bothered about the attacks, and doesn't have to worry about Shirou getting in the way - meaning she can cut loose. But just then Shirou turns up...
Shinji, in the area, gloats and thinks he has the upper hand. Rider goes to attack, but Saber starts her sword power-up (like against Assassin). Rider then uses her Noble Phantasm - reins for the pegasus to make it fight (since it's normally too nice).
Rider starts flying around at high speed. Saber calls on the wind.
Rider charges down saying something like "bellefor".
Saber comments to herself that Rider was wrong about this being a disadvantage to her - up there on the building, she can go full blast. The blasts of wind around the sword end (or condence on it?) and a golden sword appears (the same as in Shirou's sub-conscious or whatever in eps 1/2).
Saber shouts "Excalibur" and fires a MASSIVE blast at Rider. The thing covering her eyes splits briefly showing her eyes, then the blast consumes her. (nice sounds visuals and sound btw)
From a long distance away, Rin notices the blast. She seems to be near Shinji/Sakura's house for some reason. Sakura is looking outside the window. Her lips move but we don't get to hear what she says - I can sometimes lip-read Japanese but I can't figure out what she says.
On the building, Shirou is rather stunned, and says "That sword is..."
Shinji panics - the book he's carrying is on fire and he says "the command mantra are burning" (aren't they normally on the hand?) and he runs away. Shirou goes to chase him but Saber collapases.

The Commissar Vanishes
Godly episode. Well, not really, but it tried. 8)
To make the long story short: the weaknesses are the same, ditto the strenghts. The first half of the entire episode is throwaway set-up with lots of boring dialogues. But it wasn't what killed it, it was the ultimately crappy animation. The main genga team must have taken a day off and only came back for the part after the eyecatch.
Which was a sight to behold, with Rider battling Saber in full glory. Rider is so sexy, it's not even worth mentioning anymore, but they really made her strut her stuff out this time. I mean: sexy ass shots, sexy front shorts, sexy giggles, sexy sighs, YOU NAME IT and Rider did them.
We also got to know the true names of both Rider and Saber as both of them took out their real weapons.
In the end, it was rather ambiguous if Rider survived or not. Her eyepatch shattered and Shinji's magical book with his reiju burned, but they never showed us Rider actually dying, or even appearing to have been vanquished. She just vanished.
Spoiler for The Assets 8):
Shameless fanservice and other guilty pleasures, thank you so much for existing! 8)
I give an 8 for the Rider showcase. It would have been 9 or even 10, if only they didn't draw Saber as a badly-proportioned smurf and Rin as a parody of that supercreepy comic character from ghost stories.
PS: Shinji's "teh eevil laugh" is really pathetic and supremely stupid.

Seems like you could only be satified by OVAs or movies - decent battles are very expensive to do, so TV anime can't do them much. Either they're short and sweet... or really... dragged...out... over... the... whole...episode...or...more...

The Commissar Vanishes
What I would be sattisfied with can be defined as "an interesting, engaging plot". Fate/stay night lacks it, so I have only enjoyed the obvious fanservice parts of it (action, humor, T&A, the works...)
FSN just doesn't manage to finally come together and weave a complete narrative that naturally moves from the character development and interaction to the intermezzo to the action sequences to whatever else they want to throw in. Ultimately, Fate/stay night is just a combination of its parts, some good, some bad, some simply atrocious, never achieving completeness and unity.
To put it in simple terms: it just does not "flow", it stutters from one prerequisite "game scene" to another. This episode especially felt disengaged, because of the boring first part in the Emiya residence, somewhat interesting interplay between Shiro and Saber, hinting at awkward romance, and the coolness of the final battle. The contrast between them was just to much to ignore. It's like the episode is done by several different teams that simply don't communicate with each other and just animate "their thing".
Obviously, it's not how it works, but it felt this way...
The "lap" scene was funny. I try to see it a positive thing, but in the end, it's just one funny scene inserted with no reason at all just because the script said "Funny line here". 8)
PS: For the record, the last couple of episodes before this one were better than average.

Hartsville, S.C. – The Lady Cobras took an early 12 point lead in the first half, but the Royals battled back to tie the game at 30 and they never looked back, as Queens took home the 78-63 win over Coker on Thursday night.
Queens (9-8, 8-4 Conf. Carolinas) simply out shot the Coker (5-12, 4-8 Conf. Carolinas), hitting 29 of 56 shots for 51.8 percent compared to the Lady Cobras 21 of 56 shots for 37.5 percent, while Coker held the advantage at the charity stripe 69 percent to 60 percent.
For Coker, Lotta Aaltonen (Rauma, Finland) was the leading scorer with 15 points off the bench, while Jessica Hayes (Beaufort, SC) and Henna Koponen (Vantaa, Finland) each had 11 points, with Hayes pulling down 8 rebounds and Koponen grabbing seven.
Queens was led by Erin Goldner's game high 17 points and five rebounds, with Hartsville native Shakaria Hamlin dropping 15 points in for the Royals and Marissa Hudley getting 16 points and nine rebounds.
Coker returns to action on Saturday, as they host Converse in a 2:00 p.m. tip-off, while Queens takes on Anderson at home also at 2:00 p.m.

JK Rowling Appeals To Judge's Emotional Side, Rather Than A Real Legal Argument Over Potter Guidebook
from the apparently,-her-fiction-extends-to-the-courtroom dept
It appears that the publisher's lawyer had some fun, pointing out that Rowling didn't seem to have that same sort of stress and heartache when she gave an award to the website that "The Harry Potter Lexicon" came from. And, when presented with evidence of how the book took Harry Potter details and did more with them (making them more useful), Rowling tossed out the following: "This is theft. Wholesale theft." Well, no, it's not. If it were anything, it would be infringement (not theft), but more importantly, it wasn't about republishing the content, but making it more useful. It's the same argument we discussed recently with people overestimating the value of the content, and underestimating the value of the service of making it useful. The most damning point might be that Rowling herself in the past admitted to using the lexicon to check up on facts she didn't remember.
However, the real key point that Rowling went back to again and again in her complaint is that she just didn't think the quality of the Lexicon was very good. That seems like a bizarre complaint, as copyright has nothing to do with quality. In fact, as the publisher's lawyer asked, "You feel it's your responsibility to prevent people from paying their hard-earned cash for things you don't like?" At which point, she switched arguments again, reverting to the claim that it was "theft." Of course, if she really thinks that the book is awful, there's a really easy solution: to come out with her own version of a guidebook. Surely, people would be a lot more interested in buying the "official" version, written with Rowling's approval, than some fan-created one. In fact, Rowling admits that she's been thinking of doing exactly that (and throws in the totally separate from the legal issues, but good for an emotional tug, claim that she would donate all proceeds to charity). Of course, there's nothing actually stopping her from competing, other than what appears to be her own unwillingness to actually have to compete for readers.

Lung surgery is surgery to repair or remove lung tissue. Several common lung surgeries are:
- Biopsy of an unknown growth
- Lobectomy, to remove one or more lobes of a lung
- Lung transplant
- Pneumonectomy, to remove a lung
- Surgery to prevent the buildup or return of fluid to the chest (pleurodesis)
- Surgery to remove an infection or blood in the chest cavity (
- Surgery to remove small balloon-like tissues (blebs) that cause lung collapse (
- Wedge resection, to remove part of a lobe in a lung
A thoracotomy is a surgical cut that a surgeon makes to open the chest wall.
Alternative Names
Thoracotomy; Lung tissue removal; Pneumonectomy; Lobectomy; Lung biopsy; Thoracoscopy; Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery; VATS
You will receive
Lung surgery using a thoracotomy is called open surgery. In this surgery:
- You will lie on your side on an operating table. Your arm will be placed above your head.
- Your surgeon will make a surgical cut between two ribs. The cut will go from the front of your chest wall to your back, passing just underneath the armpit. These ribs will be separated.
- Your lung on this side will be deflated so that air will not move in and out of it during surgery. This makes it easier for the surgeon to operate on the lung.
- Your surgeon may not know how much of your lung needs to be removed until your chest is open and the lung can be seen.
- Your surgeon may also remove lymph nodes in this area.
- After surgery, one or more drainage tubes will be placed into your chest area to drain out fluids that build up. These tubes are called chest tubes.
- After the surgery on your lungs, your surgeon will close the ribs, muscles, and skin with sutures.
- Open lung surgery may take from 2 to 6 hours.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery:
- Your surgeon will make several small surgical cuts over your chest wall. A videoscope (a tube with a tiny camera on the end) and other small tools will be passed through these cuts.
- Then, your surgeon may remove part or all of your lung, drain fluid or blood that has built up, or do other procedures.
- One or more tubes will be placed into your chest to drain fluids that build up.
- This procedure leads to much less pain and a faster recovery than open lung surgery.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery may be done to:
- Remove
cancer(such as lung cancer)
- Treat injuries that cause lung tissue to collapse (
pneumothoraxor hemothorax)
- Treat permanently
collapsed lungtissue ( atelectasis)
- Remove lung tissue that is diseased or damaged from emphysema or
- Remove blood or blood clots (
- Remove tumors, such as
solitary pulmonary nodule
- Inflate
lung tissue that has collapsedbecause of disease or an accident
- Remove infection in the chest cavity
- Stop fluid buildup in the chest cavity (pleurodesis)
- Biopsy an unknown growth
- Remove a blood clot from the pulmonary artery (
pulmonary embolism)
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can be used to treat many of these conditions. However, sometimes video surgery may not be possible, and the surgeon may have to switch to an open surgery.
Risks for any anesthesia include:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
Breathing problems
Risks for any surgery include:
Bleeding Blood clotsin the legs that may travel to the lungs Heart attackor strokeduring surgery
- Infection, including in the surgical cut, lungs, bladder, or kidney
Risks of this surgery include:
- Failure of the lung to expand
- Injury to the lungs or blood vessels
- Need for a chest tube after surgery
- Pain
- Prolonged air leak
- Repeated fluid buildup in the chest cavity
Before the Procedure
You will have several visits with yourhealth care providerand undergo medical tests before your surgery. Yourhealth care providerwill:
- Do a complete physical exam
- Make sure other medical conditions you may have, such as
diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart or lung problems are under control
- Perform tests to make sure that you will be able to tolerate the removal of your lung
If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking several weeks before your surgery. Ask your doctor or nurse for help.
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- What drugs, vitamins, herbs, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription
- If you have been drinking a lot of alcohol, more than 1 or 2 drinks a day
During the week before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot. Some of these are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), vitamin E, warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), or ticlopidine (Ticlid).
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- Prepare your home for your return from the hospital.
On the day of your surgery:
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
- Take the medications your doctor prescribed with small sips of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
Most people stay in the hospital for 5 to 7 days for open thoracotomy and 1 to 3 days after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. You may spend time in the intensive care unit (ICU) after either surgery.
During your hospital stay, you will:
- Be asked to sit on the side of the bed and walk as soon as possible after surgery
- Have tube(s) coming out of the side of your chest to drain fluids
- Wear special stockings on your feet and legs to prevent blood clots
- Receive shots to prevent blood clots
- Receive pain medicine through an IV (a tube that goes into your veins) or by mouth with pills. You may receive your pain medicine through a special machine that gives you a dose of pain medicine when you push a button. This allows you to control how much pain medicine you get.
- Be asked to do a lot of deep breathing to help prevent pneumonia and infection. Deep breathing exercises also help inflate the lung that was operated on. Your chest tube(s) will remain in place until your lung has fully inflated.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome depends on:
- The type of problem being treated
- How much of the lung is removed
- Your overall health before surgery

I didn't get to go too creative with the icecream flavors. I went with the recipes given kind of "settling" for the vanilla icecream and chocolate icecream as the two flavors (eventhough my longing was to make rose-flavored and pistachio flavored icecreams!!). I used icecream maker to make both icecreams! I really didnt like the taste of the fudge sauce alone, but everything came together in the end. I felt that it tasted just like it was- sweetend water with cocoa! Maybe it would have been better if we had made some chocolate ganache for the filling!
I assembled the cake slices and the vanilla icecream on Sunday. I also made the Chocolate icecream. I was planning to make the fudge sauce and assemble the rest of the cake on the evening before the challenge reveal date. Unfortunately, when I came back home I found that the freezer wasn't closed properly and that the cake/vanilla icecream was soft!!! I still made the fudge sauce, waited a while for it to cool down and keeping my fingers crossed added the slightly warm sauce on top the vanilla icecream! Ofcourse, there is a reason for every instruction in the recipe, the sauce melted the icecream a bit and kind of became gooey. But I just hoped that too much damage wasn't done. I waited for an hour, but the icecream/fudge had still not set, but I added the softened chocolate icecream on top and just hoped that I would still have the three separate layers when I cut into the icecream cake.
I had to wait till evening today so that the cake could harden and I could take pictures once I came back from work. The unmolding was quick, and I decorated the cake with some cherries, shaved chocolate and sugar-frosted cherries on top. My cake slices were not clean - maybe I should have partially frozen the swiss roll before cutting into slices which would have made lesser smearing of cream on the cake. But other than that everything looked good and I was happy with the icecream cake.
VERDICT: Today was the best day for this icecream cake because the weather was unbearably hot in MN and there even was a heat advisory!! The thought of the icecream cake got me through the harsh evening commute! The icecream cake was perfect for this hot day. It was delicious, sweet and cold, everything you would expect from an icecream cake. Maybe its just me, but I wasn't "wow"ed by it though! I felt that the cake was a little bland tasting once it absorbed a bit of moisture or maybe it was because of freeze thawing!? Who knows, maybe it was because my swirl slices almost completely thawed because of the freezer mishap! A delight for sure for the eyes because of its layers, but somehow didn't rise to my expectations. I honestly felt that the individual elements worked better for me separately... We would give a 7.5/10 for this cake..
But one thing is for sure, it was a hit with my daughter! She rarely asks for seconds (be it any kind of food, including desserts!) but she wanted an additional piece of the icecream cake!

The Lady Bucs were led by senior TaRonda Wiles' (
The victory marked ETSU's third consecutive win, as the Lady Bucs improved to 7-7, 5-1 in A-Sun play - setting up an all important showdown with league-leading Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Johnson City. The Eagles defeated
ETSU came out on fire to start the game, as the Lady Bucs hit eight of their first 12 shot attempts and led 19-4 after Siarre Evans (Griffin, Ga.) nailed a 3-pointer at the 14:12 mark. Stetson never had an answer for the Lady Bucs' surging start, and ETSU eventually saw its lead soar to 23, 37-14, when Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) found sophomore sharpshooter Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) open for three with 5 minutes, 13 seconds left before the half. ETSU never saw its lead dip below 20 for the remainder of the stanza, and the Lady Bucs went into the break up 22, 39-17.
In the opening 20 minutes of play, ETSU shot 42.1 percent from the floor (16-38) and were 4-of-10 from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Stetson only converted on seven of its 27 shot attempts (25.9 percent) and nailed one trey (nine attempts). The Lady Bucs forced Stetson into 15 first-half turnovers and ETSU outscored the Hatters 12 to 2 in the paint.
The Lady Bucs were able to extend their lead to as many as 25 points early in the second half. Evans found
With ETSU leading 60-40 at the 9:27 mark, the Hatters mounted a 16-6 run over the next 6 minutes, 20 seconds to cut the deficit to 10, 66-56, following a pair of Jessica Conner free throws with 3:07 showing on the clock.
Fortunately, the Lady Buccaneer defense limited the Hatters to a mere three points in the final three minutes, and ETSU was able to walk away with the 78-59 home victory.
For the game, ETSU shot 36.4 percent from the floor (28-77), compared to Stetson's 33.9 percent clip (20-59). However, the Lady Bucs did an excellent job out-rebounding the visitors from
Joining Wiles and
Stetson was led by Tierra Brown's 16-point effort in the loss.

I'm starting to get to the point in my life where not a lot blows my mind. Maybe it's because I've seen so much, both good and bad, that I expect to see the best and worst of people. How cynical, I know.
The only thing that really wows me anymore are my kids and the things they do or say. The other night my daughter told an unnamed member of the family they ate way more crackers "than are in a serving size." Luckily said person laughed. This week Brant and I had a one minute and 22-second conversation (I have video) about which movie he wanted to watch after dinner. It was sort of the definition of frustrating. Brant knows exactly what he is saying. I know about one out of 12 words he is saying, so we inevitably end up yelling at each other in a language neither can really understand. He starts crying. I start laughing. He cries more. I get yelled at by Mrs. Bowman.
But I digress…back to the wowing.
On the way to work today I heard something I had never heard before. As long I've understood the English language (a knowledge-base that increases every day), I have always thought the word "dad" was a noun. Today I heard it used as a verb and it made a bunch of sense.
I've turned other nouns into verbs before. A small group of us have long boasted about our ability to "newspaper." We should've made t-shirts, but we weren't/aren't smart enough.
So as I finished my drive to work, I thought a lot about dad as a verb and what it means to not just be a dad, but to dad.
This is one that doesn't have a solid definition. How it is defined is different from one dad to the next, but I don't think it's that hard to dad. It's difficult to be a father, the guy who has make the tough decisions or be the bad guy now and then. It's the father's job to help their children become good citizens, good students and just good people, to teach manners, the ABCs and right and wrong.
That's the hard stuff.
Dad-ing (the verb) isn't the hard stuff. To dad all you have to do is be there. Spend time with your kids reading, playing, teaching. Go for a walk or a bike ride with your kid. Take them swimming. Catch fireflies. Look at stars.
It doesn't have be grand to count. Sure, Disney World is great and all, but your kid will love you just as much for pushing them on a swing as they will for taking them on Dumbo.

Looking for advice. I'm making a king size quilt, and wondering what is the best way to quilt it. I have a regular sewing machine - no long arm, no drop feeds. I plan to stitch in the ditch rather than quilting a design on the blocks. What would you all suggest -- put the whole quilt top together and quilt by hand? or "quilt as you go" in strips of blocks -- and machine stitch in the ditch? I fear that doing this by hand will take me YEARS, and yet, I'm not sure the quilt as you go

"This could become low-income housing for the whole planet," Drowne says. The vessel uses a small amount of natural resources to build and emits minimal pollution in the process. "Soon it will be completely off the grid," Drowne says.
When in the water, Earth Ball sits on a 12x12 Styrofoam raft with a pontoon float on either side. Drowne built the pentagon-and-hexagon sphere for a few thousand dollars and has outfitted the craft with an electric Honda 9.9 outboard motor, a 12-volt wind power generator to run his laptop, phone, stove, small refrigerator and lights, and a compost toilet that he stirs with peat moss and a long metal rod.
Along his journey, Drowne has introduced the houseboat to people in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. A few have begun work on their own Earth Balls. "I'm hoping to build myself a second one to use as a greenhouse so I can grow my own food, or to use as a guesthouse for when my grandkids come visit," says Drowne.

Just wanted to share some of the work I've been doing collaborating with writer Gabe (G. Martinez Cabrera) on the children's book Elias & The City of Cats.
I'm really enjoying working with Gabe — we're good at bouncing ideas off one another and both have the creative energy to push one another to make the best book that we can!
Currently, we're working towards creating a mockup of Elias to shop around to publishers.
A few weeks ago, Gabe took the time to cut up his story and arrange it into a format that gives me a better idea of the images he's looking for. From that, I worked on a rough sketch storyboard draft of sorts.
Recently, I showed Gabe this first rough draft, and from our discussion I'm putting together a second rough draft. I'm sure both of us will be doing a good number of drafts before we have a polished mockup!
For more updates, don't forget to follow me on tumblr and/or twitter.

Gulag Bound
What is a picture with a few well reported words worth?
I think you could put a whole video of Obama and Holder biting the heads off babies in front of many brainwashed Democratic voters and it would not make a difference – especially if they were black.
Let the reader ponder whether "they" refers to the babies or the Democratic voters, or both.
But, here is the video of Holder's spilling the beans on brainwashing.
Hey, this doesn't have anything to do with Operation Fast and Furious, does it? Please pardon the sarcasm – and the redundancy, for those who have seen the evidence of that for months and months, despite the bourgeoisie-niceness of the House investigatory committee. (When is an investigation a cover-up?)
And yes, I am tempted to refer to the brainwashing techniques exhibited by the CIA's Operation MK-Ultra and their experiments to turn young men into assassins (and/or mass murderers). More on that still to come in Gulag Bound.
Here are pictures of more brainwashers who favored and used manipulated, democratic majorities. Is it any wonder our founding fathers warned against the inevitable despotic results of democracy, instead of a constitutional republic based on the natural rights of sovereign persons (a.k.a., "individuals") accountable to ultimately sovereign God?
Oh, but this is "all just politics…."

These people warred with each other over territory and hunting rights. They may have worn breechcloths and mocassins but were far from the "uncivilized savages" that history has often portrayed them to be. They spoke complex languages far different from the "How" and "ugh" that Hollywood has stereotyped. They lived, they worked, they loved, and they prayed ...and in a lot of ways were the same as you and I are today. They just did it in a culture unlike anything the European had previously seen. But it was not because they spoke in strange languages, or wore strange clothes, or even because their skin was brown that the European disregarded their first claim to this land. It was not even for the lofty goals of Christianizing or civilizing these people that the Europeans overran their land. It was, in actuality, the age old motivation of greed -- pure and simple.
The native Americans had something that the Europeans wanted--the land and its bounty. And the Europeans used their advanced weaponry to come in and take what they wanted much like a bully on a schoolyard playground. But what devasted the population of Native Americans more than any gun was the diseases brought by Europeans. The germs that the Europeans carried with them across the Atlantic to an unsuspecting population of Native Americans who had never before been exposed to such and therefore had no resistance, were far deadlier than any gun ever used against them.
Diseases such as small pox wiped out entire villages and peoples. Having no immunity to such, the Native Americans were completely vulnerable to these germs. The diseases had been in Europe for centuries and some natural immunities had developed in the European populations. Not so in the unsuspecting, isolated, native populations living in the new world.
What were not devasted by disease, were rounded up and forced to march hundreds of miles to be "relocated" to reservations. One such march has become known as "the trail of tears". But not every Native American went west. Some stayed and have formed tribes such as the Eastern Band of Cherokees located in North Carolina. Others, such as most of our Appalachian ancestors, went far up in the mountains, innermarried with their Scots-Irish and German neighbors and whenever possible, passed for "white" on the census roles.
Most Appalachians who have definite native American blood in their DNA have no official tribe affiliation. We have long ago lost our culture to a way of life that became our new culture -- that of being Appalachian. Most all of us are aware of our ancestory to some degree and know of a long lost ancestor who was "indian". You have but to look at us to confirm it. But we were robbed of the official tribal designation because of circumstance and necessity to blend in and assimilate.
Still, there remains an affinity for the land and for the place that we call "home". It is said that once an Appalachian..always an Appalachian and it will always be where you call "home" no matter how many houses you own or how far you roam. The deep connection with nature and spirit that our native ancestors possessed still resonates within us today in Appalachia.
Sometimes when I am out walking and catch a breeze upon my face or look out over the mountaintops I can feel it. The spirit of my forefathers who were here long before any European stepped foot upon this soil. That spirit is alive and well within the people of Appalachia, and it comes to us in the quietness to sit upon our shoulder and to call to us from a far off distant place that our mind has forgotten but which is familiar to our soul. And suddenly, for just a moment, we can once again feel it--that deep body and soul connection to the land and our people. And our soul sings once again the ancient songs of our forefathers. Listen and see if you can hear it too:

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|A Long Way to Fall (cont.)
With this new information in hand, you can run for the nearby apartment building and head on inside. Once inside, run towards the elevator on the left side of the building (since that's where your "friend" outside told you to go in order to reach the upper floors). Take the elevator to the twentieth floor, and once there, approach some friends of your target. Pull a gun on them and do them both in before proceeding, and then begin clearing the rest of the floor of enemies.
The numerous enemies you'll meet en route to your target's apartment aren't represented on your HUD whatsoever, so you'll need to keep a keen eye and ear out for any foes. Although the elevator brought you to the twentieth floor, you're going to have to climb up several more floors to reach the apartment where your enemy is holed up. Tote a shotgun here, since it's the best weapon in close quarters, and when you clip any given enemy, make sure to grab their dropped weapon before proceeding. Don't bother going down, since you'll find nothing of interest. Additionally, as you ascend the stairs, be sure to clear every floor of foes so that none sneak up on you later.

Rock-Themed Casino Featuring Music Venues and Upscale Nightclub
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas takes the rock and roll lifestyle seriously: touring music acts play on the premises at a handful of venues with state-of-the-art sound, including The Joint and Vinyl. They even hooked up speakers below water in the outdoor swimming pool—if you cannonball into the pool's deep end, you can hear the guitar licks of an epic jam playing loud and clear. A rotating roster of featured celebrities and DJs pass through Body English, the underground club lined with chandeliers. The venues are just part of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's commitment to an indulgent atmosphere and posh ambiance.
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino also caters to a diverse palette of tastes with its eclectic dining and dance venues. Pink Taco serves carne asada, shrimp tacos, and other Mexican dishes in a room with gilt-framed folk art and retro lowrider bicycles. At Vanity Nightclub, 20,000 light crystals from a cyclone chandelier illuminate a sunken dance floor, where the party continues until 4 a.m.
Inside mountain-view king rooms in the casino tower, charcoal carpeting extends to floor-to-ceiling windows. Velvety drapes and plush beds add funky finishing touches.
Las Vegas: Casinos, Shows, and Lights in the Mojave Desert
The original Las Vegas Strip, Fremont Street glitters with 12 million lights and troupes of costumed street performers. Lined with iconic casinos, flashing neon signs, and showgirls crowned with headdresses, this vintage boulevard evokes Vegas in the days of the Rat Pack. There are also a few ultramodern features—a 90-foot LED screen hovers above the bustling avenue as passengers zoom by on an 850-foot-long zipline.
While the Strip's casinos and shows are well documented and beloved, Las Vegas's cultural attractions are often overlooked. A mile east of Hard Rock Hotel, the Marjorie Barrick Museum delves into Latin American culture with one of the country's most comprehensive collections of pre-Columbian art. This University of Nevada gallery proudly displays Mexican dance masks, Hopi basketry, and Navajo jewelry, some of which dates back thousands of years.

Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, May 9th from 7:00 to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church.
Peter Seibel presents: "Practical Common Lisp"
"Should we vacation in Bali or Monaco?" ....is the query put forth to Miss September. "Well Peter," she says with perfect lips "Bali has better food, but Monaco has the 'Sushi-Girl Backrub Team'".
Indeed life can be a chore, for these are the daily tortures of the Productivity Winners of the 16th Annual Jolt Product Excellence Award in Technical Books!
Miss September giggles: "What were you thinking when you decided to write a book on Lisp ...in 2005?"
"I wasn't thinking that it would be the #1 top selling Lisp book on Amazon."
"Nor was I thinking that it would go as high as #2 in the Languages & Tools category, #4 in Programming, #11 in Computers & Internet, and #543 in all books."
"I also wasn't thinking that Apress would have to do a 2nd printing, they were really grumpy about that."
"...and I never dreamed I'd have such a deep appreciation for backrubs and Balinese food."
Peter Seibel is an ex-Java programmer who quit his job to buckle down and finally learn Lisp, shortly thereafter he completed "Practical Common Lisp". Having finished the book, Peter is now available for consulting projects--Lisp and otherwise--as the chief monkey of Gigamonkeys Consulting. He is currently serving on he Board of Directors of the Association of Lisp Users.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – A trio of Coker College women's soccer players were named all-conference performers by the South Atlantic Conference today.
Lizz Morris led the way with her first-team selection as a goalkeeper, while Jalynn Fortt and Jordan Roy and were named honorable mentions as defenders.
Morris compiled 156 saves on the season, which ranked first in the SAC and NCAA Division II, and registered five shutouts. Her five shutouts were good for third in the conference.
A junior from Stillwater, N.Y., Morris is a biology major with a pre-medical concentration. She is the daughter of Frederick and Karen Morris and Maria and Dave Goyer.
Fortt, a Conference Carolinas third team all-conference selection a year ago, was the team's offensive playmaker in 2013. She registered two goals and three assists to lead the team with seven points.
Originally from Auora, Colo., Fortt is a sophomore business administration major. She is the daughter of Reuben and Michelle Fortt.
Roy, a defender by trade, doubled as an offensive weapon this season. She led the Cobras' offense with three goals, two of which were game-winners.
A native of Orlando, Fla., Roy is a freshman physical education and sport studies major with a concentration in sports management. She is the daughter of Craig and Lynn Roy.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (
The win - ETSU's seventh in eight games - moves the Bucs above .500 overall for the first time this season at 8-7. In Atlantic Sun Conference play, the Bucs are 5-3. Meanwhile, UNF drops to 3-12, 0-8 on the year.
"We did some good things, the most important winning at home again," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "The 10 turnovers as a team jumps out as a good number. Dillion (Sneed) had a good night with a double-double, and five players in double figures is a good number to see. There are some things we need to improve on - offensive rebounding, defensive stops, 3-point shooting - but it's still a win."
In the first half, the Bucs led by three at 23-20, but went on a 9-3 run following a technical foul on UNF. The technical occurred when the Osprey's Cortez Riley had entered the game despite his name not being in the official scorebook. With a 32-23 lead at that point, the Bucs built the advantage to 11 at 44-33 at the break.
After the intermission, UNF rallied to within six at 48-42 with remaining, but after a timeout by Bartow, the Bucs outscored the Ospreys 7-2 to regain the 11-point advantage. UNF would not seriously threaten again and the Bucs would ultimately take the 15-point win at 86-71.
Along with Smith, the Bucs' Dillion Sneed (Chicago) picked up his 10th career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, while junior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) added 13, junior post Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.) pitched in 12, and freshman guard Courtney Pigram netted 10. ETSU shot 45 percent from floor for the game and an uncharacteristically strong 83 percent from the foul line. The Bucs had just 10 turnovers and swiped 16 steals from the Ospreys.
For UNF, Alain Laroche collected a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead UNF, while Ryan Daugherty had a team-high 19 points and Chris Timberlake provided 12. The Ospreys out-rebounded the Bucs 43-39 and dished out more assists than the Bucs, 17-13.
The Bucs will head back on the road in A-Sun play for a two-game swing to Stetson and Mercer this weekend. The team will begin the stretch with a stop at Stetson Thursday night beginning at Meanwhile, UNF returns to

The council declined on Sept. 17 to suspend its normal review process in order to vote on a request from Red Rock Partners developer Randy Day.
Instead, the council is giving citizens until Sept. 26 to submit written comments on Day's application to change the zoning on a 17.17-acre parcel in Spanish Valley from rural residential to small lot residential.
"I think we need to wait and get any more responses," Grand County Council chairman Gene Ciarus told a full-capacity crowd.
While area residents still have a chance to put their thoughts about the proposal into writing, the council's Sept. 17 meeting was their last chance to formally voice their opinions out loud.
And voice them they did.
A crowd of more than 70 people filled the council chambers for the public hearing on the measure. All but three of the people who spoke during the hearing voiced opposition to the proposed zone change for the property, which is located at the southeastern corner of Murphy Lane and Cedar Hills Road.
The current zoning designation allows for the development of up to 1.6 dwellings per acre, while the change would permit up to eight units per acre. However, both Day and project consultant Dan Burkhart said that Red Rock's plans call for the development of three units per acre, or 50 to 55 houses altogether.
Still, many area residents said they are worried about the precedent a zone change would set for high-density development in other unincorporated county areas, or within Moab's city limits.
Roadrunner Hill resident Patricia Vidiella said that even if Day caps his development at 50 to 55 homes, it would still be high density for the area.
In addition, she voiced concerns that a zoning change would give the developer a blank check to increase that density even further. If that happened, his company would profit at the expense of a healthy and well-developed neighborhood, Vidiella said.
Highland Drive resident Anna Conrad told the council that she was drawn to the area by its rural character.
Its roads are another matter, though, she said.
According to Conrad, a previous study found that Murphy Lane – which one engineer called a "cow trail" – cannot adequately handle existing traffic in the area.
Likewise, East George White Road resident Greg Kennedy said that denser development in the area just doesn't make sense, based on the limited infrastructure that's in place. Increased density would put huge pressures on that infrastructure, he said.
Others, including Desert Hills Road resident Richard Coffinberry, said future growth should be directed toward large, undeveloped areas that are closer to Moab's city limits.
Ann Sherrill, who lives on Juniper Drive, told the council that the county's 2012 General Plan should guide future development in unincorporated areas.
"We have a plan. It allows for growth and development, but protects what is special about our town," Sherrill said.
Day countered that objections to his project are misguided.
He repeatedly noted that his company has no plans to build 137 units at the site, as allowed under the proposed zoning change.
He can't help it, he said, that the county's land use code permits the maximum number of houses in a small lot residential zone.
"If there was another code that allows for a more optimal quantity, such as 50 to 55, we would apply for that," he said. "But that doesn't exist."
While opponents remain concerned about the potential for future increases in density, Day offered to cap the scale of future development at the site through deed covenants.
"We would be happy to take any steps that would allay concerns about us building too densely for the neighborhood," he said.
Ultimately, he said, the project would fill a demand for mid-level housing that is sorely missing from the local market, while meeting the county's General Plan and rezoning criteria.
It would provide affordable housing options to mid-income earners who don't qualify for low-income or self-help housing loans, as well as professionals and business entrepreneurs, he said.
"We don't want to build one house per acre on this land and cater to multi-millionaires, or the very high end of our market," Day said.
The county council plans to review Day's request at its next meeting on Oct. 1.
In the meantime, Day said Wednesday that he plans to mull over his options for the property.
During a brief Sept. 18 phone interview with The Times-Independent, Day said he has thought about withdrawing the rezone application because he's grown weary of the contentious dispute with neighboring property owners. But he emphasized that he has not made up his mind at this point.
"I'm still vacillating about what I'm going to do," he said.
Anyone who was unable to attend the county council's Sept. 17 meeting can still email written comments to: email@example.com. Written comments can also be sent to: Grand County Council, 125 E. Center St., Moab UT 84532.
All comments will be due by 5 p.m. on Sept. 26.

Medscape Medical News
Feb. 4, 2013 -- The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) is trying to counteract the myths that cancer is a death sentence and a disease of the wealthy, the elderly, and developed countries.
In fact, more than half of the deaths from cancer (55%) happen in the less-developed regions of the world. By 2030, it is expected that around 60% to 70% of all new cancer cases will happen in developing countries, the UICC notes.
This point is also emphasized by the World Health Organization (WHO), which notes that two-thirds of new cancer cases and deaths happen in developing countries, where cancer incidence "continues to increase at alarming rates."
Preventing Cancer
About a third of all cancer deaths are due to risk factors that people can change, such as not using tobacco, maintaining a healthy weight, drinking in moderation, and avoiding infections, according to the WHO.
In addition, many cancers can be prevented with life-saving interventions, such as cervical cancer screening, and with vaccination against diseases such as hepatitis B and human papillomavirus (HPV). The early detection of many cancers, including breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, can also result in successful cures.
"Cancer should not be a death sentence anywhere in the world, as there are proven ways to prevent and cure many cancers," Oleg Chestnov, MD, assistant director-general for non-communicable diseases and mental health at the WHO, says in a prepared statement.
A recent survey conducted by the WHO found that more than half the countries in the world are struggling to prevent cancer and to provide treatment and chronic care to cancer patients. There is an "urgent need to help countries reduce cancer deaths, provide appropriate long-term treatment and care, and avoid human suffering," according to the WHO.
The WHO is funding a program to set up cancer registries in many developing countries, which will provide information on the cancer burden and help governments plan their prevention and treatment strategies.
The American Society for Clinical Oncology announced plans to expand the scope of its international programs and to double its funding "to help address the growing global cancer burden." These programs involve providing oncology instruction for non-specialists, offering mentoring, and providing grants for research into cancer-control strategies in developing countries.
Myth of Personalized Medicine
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) announced that it is supporting World Cancer Day by dispelling another myth about cancer: that personalized medicine is "already a reality for all cancer types and all cancer patients."
"Personalized medicine is the dream of every oncologist and the legitimate expectation of every cancer patient," says ESMO President Martine Piccart, MD, PhD.
The aim is to treat patients with therapies targeted at specific tumor characteristics. Some notable successes, such as targeted therapy for HER2-receptor breast cancer, have revolutionized treatment, but "we are not yet in the era of personalized oncology," she says.
"Oncologists have a double duty: to raise awareness of the current achievements of targeted therapies, their high potential, and the necessary requirements, and to guide their patients in seeking out clinical trials where their tumors can be better profiled so that they can gain access to novel treatments," Piccart says.
