Brent and Dana Jones
Brent and Dana Jones were introduced to UNC Lineberger because of their daughter's involvement in the Pediatric Retreat for Children with Cancer as a player for the UNC Women's Soccer Team.
Although Brent and Dana Jones reside in Danville CA, Chapel Hill is just as much "home," partly because their daughter Courtney played for the UNC Women's Soccer Team — two-time national champions. The team chose to support the Patient & Family Resource Center through an annual event that drew the Jones family closer to the Cancer Center.
After meeting with Dr. Don Rosenstein and team, Dana recalls: "Brent and I knew instantly this is what we wanted to get behind personally. For patients and caregivers to have access to this safe haven of emotional support, educational resources and assistance with financial hardship is so vital, but not a given in every cancer hospital. It signaled to us that UNC Lineberger is a cancer center with a heart that puts patients and families first. We wanted to be part of this incredibly caring place and have embraced it ever since."
Cancer has impacted the Jones family in many ways. Dana's grandmother is a breast cancer survivor and has served as a constant reminder of this disease. Dana's father is battling recently diagnosed metastasized lung cancer and their sister-in-law was in recent weeks given the diagnosis of glioblastoma.
Soon after joining the UNC Lineberger Board of Visitors Brent and Dana decided to make a generous gift to name the Chaplain's office in the Cancer Center, knowing first hand that spiritual support is an important part of the healing process for cancer patients. They also made a gift toward the first annual Pediatric Retreat for Children with Cancer knowing that such a gift would make it possible for entire families to enjoy a weekend of fellowship and fun.
Brent, a former All-Pro San Francisco 49er and now a venture capital fund manager reflects: "Now that our daughter has graduated from UNC, we have a different, but equally compelling reason for returning to Chapel Hill — the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center."

Televangelist Pat Robertson recently made news with some fairly stupid comments about "taking out" Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.
Many critics rightly condemned Mr. Robertson's suggestion that the United States should consider assassinating leaders of state with which we do not agree. In this case, it's particularly outrageous since (a) Chavez has said nothing to threaten America directly, and (b) even if he had, it would not qualify as grounds for assassination. After all, it's just Venezuela we're talking about here. I don't think we need to worry about them sending an armada up to invade us anytime soon.
But as stupid as it was for Rev. Robertson to suggest assassination as a solution to whatever "problem" it is Mr. Chavez poses, I certainly think he has the right to raise the issue and debate it with others. But apparently another Reverend doesn't agree. Rev. Jesse Jackson says that the Federal Communications Commission should fine Rev. Robertson for his comments. "The FCC must have some standard on the advocacy of violence," Jackson said.
Here we have a classic example of everything that is wrong with censorship. Let's imagine for a moment that the FCC did take action again Mr. Robertson or anyone who suggested violence against foreign leaders. Certainly Rev. Robertson is not the first, not will he be the last, to argue that assassination is a useful method of achieving foreign policy objectives.
First, it would be extremely difficult to enforce speech restrictions on individuals advocating violence against others. Would the FCC be fining the TV and radio stations that aired Robertson's remarks, or would they try to fine Robertson himself? What if Robertson's comments had first appeared in a newspaper, newsletter or on his online blog? Does the FCC really have the ability to control that speech? And where does one draw the line here? Does anyone who says "I really think we ought to kill that guy" when referring to a foreign leader get fined?
Second, as much as I would personally disagree with advocates of assassination as a tool of foreign policy, I think they should have their say. The way to fight back is not to gag their mouths, it is to engage them in debate and collectively work together to show them why they are wrong. In other words, the solution to stupid speech is more, and better, speech. Vigorous public debate, not censorship, is the way to answer disturbing arguments from a few bad apples.
Now I know that there are occasions when "fighting words" can honestly lead to violence. But there's a whole body of jurisprudence dealing with those cases which reveals that, over time, we have wisely moved away from prior restraint, fines or other forms of legal sanctions for such speech. Instead, the courts have increasingly placed faith in deliberative democracy as the proper solution. As The Freedom Forum website summarizes:
"Tellingly, despite continued reaffirmation of the fighting-words doctrine, the Supreme Court has declined to uphold any convictions for fighting words since [1942]. In fact, in Terminiello v. Chicago, 337 U.S. 1 (1949), the Court immediately began a long process of narrowing and reshaping the broad scope of the original fighting-words doctrine."
Importantly, in later cases such as R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, 505 U.S. 377 (1992), the Court noted that fighting words often have some value and that we should allow citizens to express themselves very frankly because there may be some value to hearing what they have to say. (John Stuart Mill's classic defense of freedom of speech in "On Liberty" was partially premised on this notion).
Of course, I can think of some tough cases that likely cross the line and constitute a breach of the peace. If a loony guy stands up at a presidential address and says "I'm here to kill the President," well, that guys probably is at least going to earn a trip down to the local FBI office for an interview. And there's the classic example of the joker who shouts fire in a crowded theater. But these are exceedingly rare cases in which government action would probably be acceptable. More importantly, these are cases in which the individuals are present at the scene and directly threatening the individuals who are the object of their ire. That's certainly different than someone uttering something stupid on television, radio or the Internet.
In the case of a TV preacher advocating the assassination of a foreign leader, therefore, I would hope reasonable people would see why censorship is not the proper solution. Let the nutcases have their say, and then we'll put them in their place with the power of the written and spoken word. Indeed, that's already occurred in this case. Rev. Robertson was forced to apologize for his remarks within 48 hours of uttering such stupidity thanks to pressure from countless individuals and groups. That's the power of free speech at work. He had his say and then we had ours.

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton don't have any human children just yet, but Miranda is getting plenty of parenting experience dealing with her two pups, Cher and Delta Dawn. The two dogs are inseparable and share a deep sisterly bond.
Miranda tells People Country, "Delta is older and acts like an older sister. When any other dogs are play-fighting with Cher, she'll run around barking to say, 'Leave my sister alone!' And Cher acts like the spoiled baby sister."
Cher and Delta even groom each other on a daily basis. Miranda adds, "They clean each other's eyes every morning."

On Sunday, in a church in Freeport on the island of Grand Bahama, they sang happy birthday in absentia to Demitri Knowles – aka Demitri "Touchdown" Knowles in those parts.
Knowles, who actually turned 20 on Tuesday, is still learning the game as a redshirt freshman wide receiver at Virginia Tech, but he's already a football hero back on his native island. Of course, football is still something of a foreign concept in The Bahamas.
After spending just two seasons at Liberty Christian Academy in Lynchburg playing a sport he really knew nothing about before he was 14 years old, Knowles is making strides in the game.
In Tech's 48-34 loss last Saturday at North Carolina, he led Tech (3-3 overall, 1-1 ACC) with career highs in catches with six and receiving yards with 83. He also returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown.
It might not have been on the same level as his first touchdown – a 42-yard catch midway through the fourth quarter of Virginia Tech's 20-17 overtime win against Georgia Tech in the season-opener – but it was close.
"I don't think I could ever compare the two," said Knowles, who has nine catches for 148 yards and a touchdown as a second team receiver. "I mean, the Georgia Tech game was like – I've never experienced anything like it, but also in the North Carolina game I haven't experienced anything like that either. It was all great."
He's a bright spot among a bunch of young players on the offensive side that are still trying to make a lasting impression in their first seasons on the field.
Redshirt freshman tight end Ryan Malleck has nine catches for 65 yards, but he has also had several drops and he's still picking up the blocking aspects of the game. Redshirt freshman receiver Kevin Asante has just one catch for one yard.
Redshirt freshman Michael Holmes and true freshman J.C. Coleman have both yet to have a game with 100-plus yards rushing, pushing Tech's consecutive streak of games without a 100-yard rusher to eight dating back to last season. The longest streak Tech has had without a 100-yard rusher in coach Frank Beamer's 26 seasons has been 10 games (twice).
Knowles earned his college scholarship not for his great hands or for any expert ability to run routes. Truth be told, he was lacking in both areas coming out of high school.
Instead, he got the free ride because he's got wheels – lightning-fast wheels.
He ran track and swam competitively growing up in The Bahamas, but football caught his attention when he was 14 years old. Yet, there was no outlet for him to play the game – a game he's still picking up to this day.

"Basically, those two things were like second nature to me," said Knowles of track and swimming. "Football is like, I had to learn something new and it's sometimes frustrating. I don't know certain things…a lot of guys have played all their life, but I haven't, so it's a little frustrating sometimes."
His only exposure to the game before his high school years – other than watching Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes games on television – was playing it in his backyard.
Then, he caught a break.
Devard Darling, a native of The Bahamas and a former Florida State and Washington State receiver who was on NFL rosters for seven seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans, brought a football camp to Freeport. Knowles attended the camp, and won Most Valuable Player honors.
It didn't take long for football to become an obsession for Knowles. He joined a club football league in The Bahamas, and told his parent he wanted to play on a more competitive level.
"When I told my mom, she was like, 'You want to play football? There's no football in the Bahamas'" said Knowles, whose parents still live in The Bahamas and who told him about the experience in church this past Sunday. "That's when I realized I had to move."
His father looked for a good Christian school in the United States where Knowles could get an education and play football. It worked out that Knowles already had a living arrangement connection established in Lynchburg.
Playing football in the U.S. was a different animal altogether. As Knowles mentioned, he was playing against kids that had played the sport much of their lives.
"I always faster than most of the guys, but in some cases I would not be running as fast because I would probably not know what I was doing," said Knowles, who added he visits home in The Bahamas every summer and during Christmas. "All that came into it, but after that I started to get more comfortable and to perform the way I wanted to."
In addition to winning the Virginia Independent Schools 100 meter dash state championship as a senior, and being ranked the No. 1 sprinter in the Mid-Atlantic by MileStat, he started to develop as a receiver, too. He had 25 catches for 338 yards and six touchdowns in his senior season.
He had offers from Tech, Virginia and Connecticut, and opted to become a Hokie.
"A lot of teams said I would probably be redshirted, but it was up to me and my learning process," said Knowles, who added he'd like to eventually run track at Tech if his football and track schedules didn't conflict. "I didn't have a problem redshirting because I knew I had a lot to learn. I figured once I learned things would turn out pretty well."
With a year of studying the game on the college level under his belt, Knowles already has the making of an impact player, and a go-to man for quarterback Logan Thomas.
"He's always kind of had the football mentality of being able to run the right routes or catch the football," Thomas said. "That's never been the problem. It's just learning what he's supposed to do that's been the problem for him.
"He's learning. He's learning the playbook and he's learning how to play fast…It's nice to have him out there. He's always had speed, but he also puts a lot of pressure on those (cornerbacks) where they've got to keep backing up, and then he can break it off and be wide open on an under route as well."

Illegals Getting Driver's Licenses In Oregon
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber plans to sign a bill into law today that will give tens of thousands of immigrants living in Oregon without legal permission the ability to get a driver's license. The House passed the measure in a 38-20 vote following more than an hour of debate yesterday. Under the bill immigrants could apply for a four-year license starting Jan. 1.

In the interest of full disclosure: the Android phone I picked is the Samsung Galaxy SII. My two-year contract is up coming January, and three months in advance you're always allowed to extend your contract, and pick a new phone. So, I extended my contract for another two years (I've been with T-Mobile NL for like 7 years now and service is excellent for me, so no reason to switch), and bought the Galaxy SII for €149.95.
The courier delivered the phone only a few hours ago, so I'm still getting acclimated to Android. Coming from Windows Phone 7, it's clear Android is closer to the inconsistent mess of iOS than it is to the breathtakingly consistent and logical Metro interface, but a few nice things already stand out.
First, the fact that the menu button always gives you access to an application's settings - in iOS it's always a surprise how to find application-specific settings (a tab? A button? And where?), and in both iOS and WP7, it's always a guessing game where specific settings are located (in the Settings application, or in the application itself). Android is a breath of fresh air here.
Another nice thing are the widgets. It's nice to finally be able to put useful information on my homescreen instead of a bunch of nondescript icons (iOS) or remarkably limited live tiles (WP7).
Lastly, it's clear that while this phone is remarkably snappy and quick, the interface animations are not as smooth as those on iOS, and certainly not as smooth as those on Windows Phone 7 (seriously - Windows Phone 7 on single-core hardware is smoother than anything else I've seen; truly remarkable).
All in all, I'm happy so far, but of course, I've only had it for a few hours and I'm obviously still suffering from post-purchase rationalisation. In any case, let everyone know what your favourite Android applications, widgets, themes, and so on, are in the comments!

CINCINNATI (AP) Walt Weiss has been saying Corey Dickerson is a pretty good hitter. Dickerson proved the Colorado manager correct on Saturday night.
Dickerson hit two home runs and two doubles, driving in a career-high four runs as the Rockies routed the Cincinnati Reds 11-2.
''That's probably one of the best games of my career,'' said Dickerson, who was hitting .340 with two homers going into the game. ''It shows the versatility of this ream and the close-knitedness, coming back from two losses in a row.''
Weiss was impressed.
''Dickerson's got a pretty good track record of swinging the bat,'' he said. ''He can hit. It's nice to be able to get an opportunity to get him into the lineup. He's worked pretty hard.''
Charlie Blackmon and Dickerson hit back-to-back home runs to start the game. Justin Morneau and Troy Tulowitzki later homered for the Rockies and Nolan Arenado doubled twice, a day after his 28-game hitting streak ended.
The Rockies got 11 extra-base hits, making things easy for Jordan Lyles (5-0). He struck out eight in six innings and left with a 10-2 lead.
''From the get-go, they put up runs,'' said Lyles, who issued a season-high four walks. ''Back-to-back (homers) in the first, then a couple of innings later, they put up big runs. I guess you could I was effectively wild. I struck out a couple more guys than normal.''
''I prefer to not strike out that many guys, as weird as that sounds. I'd rather get the groundballs,'' he said.
Alfredo Simon (4-2) was tagged for a season-high eight hits and five runs in three innings. Simon was not available after the game, but manager Bryan Price said control was his starter's problem.
''He made some mistakes up in the zone,'' Price said. ''When he is on you see batters pound the ball in the ground. He just couldn't get the ball down. Their lineup was very comfortable. We are a team that uses both sides of the plate. Simon threw a lot of pitches over the middle.''
That was a big problem against the top-scoring team in the majors, catcher Brayan Pena said.
''Today wasn't one of our best games,'' Pena said. ''That is a very hot lineup. Everybody knows Simon is a sinker ball pitcher. Today, he was up a little bit. He feels bad about it.''
Blackmon led off the game by fouling off three 0-2 pitchers before connecting for eighth homer of the season. Dickerson followed with his third, on a 3-2 pitch. It was the first time in team history that the Rockies had hit a pair of home runs to start a road game.
''Those were both good at-bats,'' Weiss said. ''We've been talking about how we've improved in (hitting with two strikes).''
Dickerson had never faced Simon before, but that didn't matter, he said.
''I watched film on him,'' he said. ''You try to pick up a few tendencies, but it's really about feeling comfortable up there with your plan.''
Joey Votto, who hit a game-winning homer for the Reds in the ninth inning Friday night, hit his sixth shot in the second.
The Rockies started to pull away with a three-run third, beginning with Dickerson's double. Arenado's double set up Morneau's eighth home run.
Blackmon and Dickerson hit RBI doubles in the fourth.
Dickerson's second homer was a two-run shot that sailed 433 feet into the right-field seats in the sixth. Tulowitzki followed with his 11th homer of the season and second in two nights, a 386-foot shot into the left field seats.
NOTES: Blackmon's leadoff home run was the third of his career and second in five days. He led off Colorado's 12-1 win over Texas on May 5 with a homer. ... The Reds activated LHP Aroldis Chapman from the 15-day disabled list and optioned RHP Curtis Partch to Triple-A Louisville before the game. Chapman had missed the entire season after being struck in the face by a line drive in a spring training game on March 19 and undergoing surgery. ... Despite doubling as a pinch-hitter on Friday night, Reds CF Billy Hamilton missed his seventh consecutive start because of sprained knuckles on two fingers of his left hand. Price wanted to make sure Hamilton is 100 percent, he said. ''You can expect him to be in there (Sunday), I think it's safe to say,'' Price said.

Every spring the swallows return to Capistrano, and farther up the California coast, hordes of squid arrive to mate and lay eggs on the sandy seafloor off Monterey. Right on their tentacles are fishermen seeking calamari.
California's $30-million-a-year squid fishery has quadrupled in the past decade—with no way to assess how much fishing is too much. Now, a multi-institutional team of scientists has reported a new sonar technique to locate squid eggs in the murky depths.
"This method provides an efficient way to map distributions and estimate the abundance of squid eggs. In effect, it censuses next year's potential population," said Kenneth G. Foote, a marine acoustics expert at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and lead author of an article published in the February 2006 Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. "It has immediate potential to give resource managers sound scientific information to make decisions on how to sustain the fishery. Otherwise, they're just guessing."
The scientific team combined the expertise of Foote; Roger T. Hanlon from Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, an authority on squid behavior; and Pat J. Iampietro and Rikk G. Kvitek, seafloor mapping experts at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB). The research was funded by the Sea Grant Essential Fish Habitat Program.
Squid (Loligo opalescens)—a staple in the diets of many fish, birds, and marine mammals—return annually to spawn a few hundred yards off Monterey's Cannery Row. They deposit gelatinous capsules, each containing 150 to 300 embryos. The finger-sized capsules form small clumps called mops that later cluster into egg beds up to several meters in diameter. Surveying the four-square-mile spawning grounds with divers or underwater cameras is too difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.
"We needed a way to detect egg clusters," Hanlon said. "So I went across the street and approached Ken, one of the world's sonar experts, who said, 'I'll see if I can help you.' "
"I wasn't optimistic," Foote said. "You have to be able to distinguish weak signals echoing off small targets—the egg clusters—from powerful signals echoing off much larger targets—the seafloor."
The team tested different sound wave frequencies, sonar angles, and towing speeds and heights off the seafloor—all in an effort to optimize sound signals reflected back from the egg clusters. They processed the raw acoustic data and displayed the results in the form of seafloor maps that showed characteristic patterns of mottling—squid egg clusters—distributed on the seafloor images. Using underwater video and the CSUMB ship's precise positioning capabilities, they verified the correlation between sonar images and egg clusters.
With the new sonar methods, the entire Monterey spawning area could be surveyed and analyzed in less than 40 hours at relatively low cost, with a suitably equipped boat towing a sidescan sonar, Foote said.
Since fishing usually commences as soon as squid appear in Monterey Bay, Hanlon said, fishermen may be catching large numbers of squid before they can complete their complex and competitive mating behaviors and subsequently lay eggs.
"The next challenge is to convince the fishermen to wait a few days for squid to complete their mating cycle," Hanlon said, "so that gene mixing in the population will proceed by natural, not unnatural, selection processes. The squid need to lay enough eggs to provide squid next year—for fishermen and for the oceans, too."
Foote and Hanlon said the sonar techniques could be adapted and applied to more effectively manage other squid fisheries around the world, including major fisheries in South Africa, Japan, the Falkland Islands, southern California, and perhaps on the United States East Coast.

Judaism lends itself to questioning in general, and thereby to questioning God. In college, I directed anger against God, stepped away from Judaism, and went to talk with a reform rabbi who'd taught part of the comparative religions course at my college. Mind you, I was raised conservative, leaned traditional, and so felt more at home than many non-orthodox in an orthodox setting. Reform is in the other direction.
I asked, how can God be all powerful, all knowing, AND all merciful, when reality shows otherwise? He answered two ways: The wise old man with a long white beard sitting on a huge throne up in the sky is the picture of God given to children whose minds are too young for abstract thought. The threesome I mentioned is a Christian concept, not a Jewish one, because God isn't always merciful. Finally, he added that I didn't have to believe in God; there are other Jews who don't, either. In other words, I was still a welcome member of the cultural group.
Recently, I came out, again, this time as an atheist, and so emailed my orthodox rabbi. Honesty is important, to me, and I'd been trying to believe in God because life (or, rather, individuals whose lives crossed mine, and not in a decent way) had been so unfair. Call it desperate, but without family to fall back on, cultural roots were about all I had. To his credit, this rabbi, too, responded kindly. When next I mentioned that I would still like to come to services, even though I can never, again, believe, he welcomed me.
Being Jewish is more than a religious experience. There are many, many facets to it, from food to music to dance to rites of passage and -- on the negative side -- a shared history of acts of semitism, some individually directed (as I've experienced) and some broadcast at all who have any publicly known connection to Jewish roots.
Realizing how much antisemitism was deliberately intertwined with Christianity and Islam from nearly the same early century, I'd hoped atheists, walking away from those religions, might also turn away from unsubstantiated beliefs about Jews. Sadly, I've seen comments here on A/N that indicate otherwise. Anything that smacks of, "Well, everyone knows the Jews are responsible for this or always do that..." here on this social network saddens me. Similar statements regarding Israel, as though it suddenly came into being in 1967, or even in 1948, as though no Jew lived in the middle east before then, sound frighteningly like other religion-based historical revisions at work in the world (and worse, in the USA), today.
So, I ask anyone and everyone reading this: Please, question what you think you know about Jews and about Israel. Don't look for sites that merely support your view. Look to find other views, and then, seek further to see where the truth lies. Otherwise, you are still dealing in superstition.
Hi Angie, remember me? Good topic. I know why Jews have such a high percentage of non-believers. They're better educated than other nationalities, races, religions, whatever. I could never understand how the scriptures got to be so important in the first place. I mean, like, the Jews wrote the Holy Scriptures and just happen to be the "chosen" people of God.
To me, the greatest mystery of the church is how the heck people can be so stupid as to believe it in the first place.
No Bull,
When I saw this I wondered if there were any Christian Atheists. And there are???
My guess is that regardless of religion or country, the percentages of atheists within those religions and countries will be about the same, anywhere in the world. The main difference between churches and countries are the consequences of admitting to atheism or another belief system. In Islam you might be killed, depending on the country, in Catholicism you are excommunicated, no more free wine or free bread, in Judaism you are invited to come along to the local synagogue and have a nice time anyway. My guess here is that a whole lot of Rabbi's got together and discussed the increase in people coming out as atheists and figured, let them be atheists during their youth because they might change their minds as death approaches. If we kick them out now, they won't come back to us when the time comes. If I was a religious leader I would do what the Rabbi's are doing.
I do have one question, for any Jewish atheists or Christian atheists or Muslim atheists, is following the traditions of the church/masjid/synagogue important to do or important to know?
Hi Eric,
Your post reminds me of F M Esfandiary.
