Aug. 10, 2011-- With hunting season less than a month away, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) reminds the public that there is still time available to obtain hunter education certification.
Anyone born on or after Sept. 1, 1969, is required to have successfully completed a hunter education course to hunt in the state of Louisiana, unless they are under the direct supervision of someone over 18 years old that has a valid hunting license or proof of completion of a hunter education course. Hunter education courses cover firearms safety, general outdoors safety and the principals of wildlife management. To locate hunter education course information, connect to the LDWF web site at http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/hunting/hunter-education [4] .
Hunters have two options for hunter education certification: register for and attend the 10-hour classroom course, which is usually conducted over 2-3 days, or chose the home study option. With the home study option, the user will study the course material either on-line or via CD-ROM and attend a mandatory field day. Both methods will provide the student with the required hunter education certification once a written test is passed at the end of the classroom course or field day. However, the home study option is recommended for students 14 years of age or older. There is no minimum age for attending a hunter education class, but a person must be at least 10 years old to receive hunter education certification.
Hunters who have already received their hunter education certification should verify that their hunter education card is available and in their possession prior to their first hunting trip. If a duplicate card is needed, an application may be completed on-line at http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/hunting/hunter-education [4]. A temporary duplicate card can be printed immediately and there is no fee for a duplicate hunter education card.
Hunters planning out of state hunts should consult the hunter education requirements for the states they plan to visit. Requirements differ from state to state, but a Louisiana hunter education certification is valid in all states.
For more information, contact John Sturgis at 225-763-5448 or firstname.lastname@example.com [5]

The term "corporate headquarters" often brings to mind an intimidating environment, full of modular furniture, fluorescent lights and joyless gray cubicles. For many years, there were scant deviations to be found.
In the 21st century, that rule book has been tossed out the window. The new one has been written by veterans of the tech boom, the start-up boom and the dotcom boom, and this new "old guard" has changed the rules.
Now that corporate norms no longer apply across the board, nontraditional office spaces have become more common. Workplaces have emerged that differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack and embody the quirks and idiosyncrasies of their company founders. In other words, these workplaces are out to be cool.
Read ahead to see some of the coolest corporate headquarters in the world.

Foreign investors have raised fears over Britain's potential exit from the EU, Business Secretary Vince Cable has said.
The Lib Dem minister revealed that firms from abroad have voiced concern to him over the UK leaving the Union.
But he said he has told them the likelihood of this is "very, very low."
His comments came just days after Chancellor George Osborne warned that the UK could be forced to sever ties with Brussels unless there were major reforms and safeguards for countries outside the eurozone.
The Business Secretary has told worried companies that there is a 5% chance Britain will leave, The Observer said.
Asked by the newspaper whether foreign companies had raised concerns, the Business Secretary said: "The answer is yes. What I say (to businesses) as a government minister is that the risks of us leaving the EU are very, very low ... and I just try to reassure foreign investors."
If the Conservatives win the next election David Cameron has promised an in/out referendum on membership of the EU by the end of 2017 after a process of renegotiating the relationship with Brussels.
International firms including Japanese car giant Nissan have raised concerns about Britain leaving the 28-member bloc.
"I was surprised that Japanese companies and government - which are normally quite reticent, they don't normally go to the barricades - came out so openly and said 'look, we want certainty'," the Business Secretary said.
In a keynote speech Mr Osborne said that the treaties underpinning the EU were no longer "fit for purpose" and failure to reform will condemn the continent to a future of economic crisis and decline, warning: "We can't go on like this."
Mr Osborne stressed the Government's determination to renegotiate the terms of British membership in order that the UK can remain in the EU following a referendum in 2017.
But he said that growing integration of the eurozone had posed threats to the position of Britain's financial services industry and the City of London and said it was "absolutely necessary" to introduce proper legal protection of the rights of EU states not in the single currency zone.
He warned Brussels not to put the UK in a position where it has to choose between adopting the euro or leaving the EU.
Speaking to a conference hosted by the think-tank Open Europe and the Fresh Start Project in London, Mr Osborne said: "I believe it is in no one's interests for Britain to come to face a choice between joining the euro or leaving the European Union.
"We don't want to join the euro, but also our withdrawal from a Europe which succeeded in reforming would be bad for Britain. And a country of the size and global reach of Britain leaving would be very bad for the European Union."

Committed to Inclusion
The primary mission of the Office of Equity, Inclusion and Compliance is to assist the University in creating and achieving a diverse and inclusive campus community. Through the Social Equity Strategic Plan, we attempt to identify innovative strategies that will ensure not only the representation of women, persons of color, persons with disabilities and others, but ensure their full participation in every facet of the Shippensburg University community as well. In addition to the issues of representation, the Social Equity document also focuses on issues of gender, program and physical accessibility, retention, and homophobia. The document encompasses every constituent group represented at Shippensburg University.
The office plays a major role as an advocate for the protection of the rights of all constituencies to work and learn in an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. The advocacy is accomplished through training programs, policy development and implementation, and occasionally through complaint investigations and resolutions.
The office is responsible for providing leadership for the University's Sexual Harassment Fact Finding Board and the Human Relations Fact Finding Board. Both bodies are designed to receive and investigate complaints of harassment and/or discrimination.
Additionally, the office provides leadership for four University committees, staffs two major committees for the President and Provost, and manages the University's Human Understanding grants.
The office serves as the University's representative office for the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 Compliance; monitors all hiring; coordinates and provides services to students with disabilities; investigates complaints; develops, implements, and monitors the University's Affirmative Action Plan; and acts as an advisor to the President and Provost on relevant equity issues.
The office also offers the Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities, a program designed to provide summer and permanent job opportunities in the federal government and the private sector for college students with disabilities. This program is co-sponsored by the Department of Defense and the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities and offers job opportunities such as computer programming, engineering, financial management, writing, scientist, and administrative. All workers receive full benefits, even those only working as summer interns, and many of the internships have led to full-time placement upon completion of their degree.
"Touching Base" is the newsletter that is printed by the office each semester and is used to inform faculty, staff, and students of upcoming events such as the Day of Human Understanding and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day events. You will also find information on available resources provided by the office, intelligent articles, and even some interesting facts.
The office staff, which consists of Carlesha Halkias (Chief Equity, Inclusion and Compliance Officer), Dawn Butts (Management Technician), and student employees, is always available to assist you. Drop by our office at Old Main 200 or call (717) 477-1161.
What is Social Equity?
The question is sometimes asked, "What is social equity?" The term has become familiar to those of us who work or study at Shippensburg University, but what does the term actually mean? Furthermore, what actions or rights does it protect or create? And what importance does it have for me?
The concept of social equity is used at Shippensburg University to refer to a set of standards which apply to our personal and social relationships with other individuals and/or groups. These standards consist of a bundle of rights and duties which apply to members of certain "protected classes" in society.
These "protected classes" are defined by state and federal law and include: race, color, national origin, religion, creed, gender (sex), age, disability, veteran's status, and political belief. These groups have been designated as "protected" because of certain "injustices" which have occurred against the members of these groups in the past and present. Social equity is the means used to help to redress these injuries. The term also covers the protection of certain "fundamental" rights which we all enjoy as citizens of a free society.
Therefore, social equity is really nothing more than doing justice to our fellow employees, students, or acquaintances who have, as a result of membership in a protected class, suffered injuries now or in the past. These injuries may take many forms but generally consist of some form of harassment or discrimination which has caused the victim to suffer a loss of the equal rights and opportunities that we all cherish as American citizens.
The actual implementation of a program of social equity may take several forms. It may take the form of an extra effort to recruit employees or students from historically disadvantaged groups. It may mean providing a helper to assist a blind student by taking notes in class. Or it may consist of responding in a sensitive and expeditious way to a complaint of sexual, racial, or disability discrimination or harassment.
As you can see, social equity may take many forms depending on the issue or problem being addressed. The important thing to keep in mind is that the social equity program at Shippensburg University represents a serious effort on the part of the University community to provide an environment that is characterized by freedom and opportunity for all individuals and groups who wish to become a part of this special place we call Shippensburg University.
Serving Students with Disabilities
ADA Compliance
One of the most important challenges for university faculty is the identification of and assistance to students with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act provides protection for individuals with physical, mental, or learning disabilities. The ADA upholds standards for compliance in employment practices, communications, and the policies, procedures and practices of institutions of higher education.
Disability access is an important issue in higher education. Shippensburg University has endeavored to provide an open and receptive environment for students who may have a disability and are otherwise qualified to attend the University. The institution has taken corrective action in areas and activities covering the whole range of university operations.
It is important to remember that the ADA does not require any academic institution to compromise the integrity of its programs or curriculum. What the Act does require is that institutions of higher education make reasonable accommodations for those students who are disabled but otherwise qualified to participate in the academic program.
Examples of methods and techniques which have been used to accommodate students with disabilities have included: extended time for test taking, oral (as opposed to written) examinations, tutors, use of auxiliary aids (such as carbon-copy notebook paper), use of the Kurzweil reader (a computerized device that reads textbooks on audio tape), priority scheduling, use of a tape recorder for class lectures, access to learning specialists, notice to faculty regarding accommodation, classroom changes, and accessible on-campus housing.
Because some physical and learning disabilities are not always apparent, patience and sensitivity are important for both the student and the faculty member. A faculty member who is alert to the possibility of a need for support on the part of a student may prove to be the agent of a tremendous change in the life of a disabled student.
Resource brochures for faculty and students are available in the office.
Human Relations Committee
The Human Relations Committee will assist the University in ensuring equal opportunity and access to educational, employment, and contract opportunities at Shippensburg University for all persons regardless of race, color, gender (sex), national origin, disability, or religious affiliation.
The Human Relations Committee oversees two fact finding boards. The first one is the Human Relations Fact Finding Board, which has the responsibility of investigating complaints of discrimination and harassment. The second board is the Sexual Harassment Fact Finding Board, which investigates all complaints of sexual harassment, except for student vs. student complaints. These are investigated by the Student Affairs Division.
The Human Relations Committee also funds proposals and sponsors programs that advance human relations on the Shippensburg University campus.
Procedures for making a complaint of harassment or discrimination, as well as copies of the policies, are available in the office.

Gigabyte AMD Motherboard Roundup Review
With new processors usually come new motherboards. AMD has been releasing many new CPUs lately – dual, triple, and quad core – and thus new motherboards are necessary to take advantage of the faster and better technology. There have been several new chipsets released recently, which are aimed at the mid range market. Some use integrated graphics, while others are geared to the budget-minded enthusiast. Today we are going to be taking a look at four new boards from Gigabyte, which include the 770 chipset, the 785G chipset, and the 790X chipset. These boards represent the main chipsets being used by the mid range market today, so the combination of the four boards will give you a good idea of where each one sits based on the chipset design to help you make an informed decision on the chipset that is right for you.
The particular boards that we will be taking a look at are the Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P (790X board), the Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P (770 board), the Gigabyte MA785GMT-US2H (785G board), and the Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H (785G board). All the boards support AM3 processors, including the Phenom II and Athlon II CPUs up to 140 watts. However, the MA785G-UD3H is an AM2+ board, which will support both AM2+ and AM3 processors up to 140 watts, as well as only DDR2 memory. All these chipsets are designed for the mainstream user who wants performance without breaking the bank. This review will put each chipset and version up against each other to show you the better sector to choose for your needs.
Closer Look (MA790XT-UD4P):
The MA790XT-UD4P is a step down from the flagship chipset, the 790FX. It offers a lot of the same features, such as the Ultra Durable 3 design and multiple PCI Express x16 slots for multi-GPU card solutions. The MA790XT-UD4P supports AM3 processors, such as the Phenom II and Athlon II series, including the 140 watt processors. Coupled with the 790X Northbridge is the SB750 Southbridge, which supports a wide array of features for your every need.
Once the inner box is removed, you get your first glimpse of the accessories that are included with the MA790XT-UD4P. The accessories are what Gigabyte generally includes with all of its mainstream boards. Included are the manual, installation guide, I/O shield, case badges, four SATA cables, one IDE cable, one floppy cable, and the eSATA kit, which consists of the bracket, power cord, and eSATA cables.
The Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P has a very pleasing appearance. Gigabyte chose to use a blue-ish colored PC board, with a white and blue color scheme for the slots and brackets. This gives the board a nice look when it's inside your case, especially if you have a side window. One feature that you cannot see on the nicely colored PC board is the two ounces of copper that Gigabyte incorporates into the design to aid in cooling the components faster. This also improves durability and efficiency of the motherboard, allowing for better overclocking. In addition to the copper, the Ultra Durable 3 design also uses solid Japanese-manufactured capacitors, lower RDS(ON) MOSFETs, and Ferrite core chokes. All these features are designed to help you get the most out of your system, with better stability and cooling.
Moving to the back panel, again Gigabyte gives you all that you need. Starting from the top, there are the two legacy PS/2 ports for your keyboard and mouse, an optical S/PDIF connector, a coaxial S/PDIF connector, 4-pin and 8-pin FireWire ports, eight USB 2.0 ports, a LAN port, and the audio ports, which are driven by the Realtek ALC889A codec. The LAN port is the Realtek 8111C/DL, for speeds up to 1Gb/s.
Below the back panel connections are the expansion slots. There are more than enough slots for any use, from newer current PCI-Express cards to the legacy PCI interfaced cards that you still might have lying around your house. Included on the MA790XT-UD4P are three PCI-Express x1 slots, two PCI-Express x16 slots, and two legacy PCI slots. The PCI-Express x16 slots support ATI CrossFireX for multi-GPU systems and run at x16 speeds for the blue slot and X8 speeds for the orange slot.
The CPU area looks crowded, but there is plenty of room to work around it and I had no issues installing aftermarket CPU coolers and a water block for better cooling. The only complaint I have is that it is hard to plug and unplug the 8-pin CPU power lead with big fingers like I have, and I actually nicked my finger on the heatsink near it. The socket only supports AM3 processors up to 140 watts, so your DDR2 CPUs will not work here. There are four DIMM slots, which support up to 16GB of DDR3 memory up to 1666MHz, overclocked. The MA790XT-UD4P has an 8+2 power design for more efficient power delivery to the CPU and the rest of the components. Another perk for the MA790XT-UD4P is that it will accept ECC memory with a processor that supports it. As such, this would make a great high end workstation or server board.
On the bottom are the headers, which allow you to expand your system as needed. Starting from the left, there is a COM port header, a parallel port header, a FireWire header, two USB 2.0 headers, front panel headers, and two fan headers. Flipping up to the right side of the board, you will notice there are eight SATA ports, six blue and two purple. The six blue SATA ports are controlled via the SB750 Southbridge, and support SATA 3.0Gb/s speeds with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD. The two purple ports are also SATA 3.0Gb/s, however these are controlled via the Gigabyte SATA II chipset, which includes the JMicron JM322 chips. The JM322 chips provide smart backup capabilities, as well as hardware based RAID 0, 1, and JBOD.
To keep the cool look of the board and add to the Ultra Durable 3 design, Gigabyte has used a heatsink and heatpipe combination designed to lower the temperatures for the critical parts of the board. There is a large heatsink that covers the voltage area of the board by the CPU, and it connects down to the heatsink over the Northbridge and Southbridge chips. The design uses aluminum for efficient cooling.
Now that the MA790XT-UD4P is out, let's move over to the next board.

I've been thinking about it, I think AA helps the 170+, under 3 GPA type applicants by forcing the admission people to polarize admission LSAT ranges, Im talking outside the T-14, but getting into a lower Tier one or tier two,if schools have to take 30% with a 152-158 average LSAT, then they have to raise their average LSAT, and they're not gonna do that by taking the white with a 3.9 and a 162, they take the lazy potheads like me with a 2.8 and a 171.....anyone here I am high and not studying Con law so I thought of this. what AA really hurts is those white kids with high GPAs and great work ethic who can't think so fast, and one of its side effects is to get more subsersive, scheming Jews like me into the legal profession, because the schools are forced to place an unwarranted premium on the LSAT, to make US news happyDiscuss
Advice:If you discuss your drug use on these boards, you should probably make your email private (especially if it contains your last name and/or initials).
Your argument could have some merit. I have no idea. It just sounds like a high conspiracy theory. And I am pretty well-versed in high conspiracy theories. I think that schools put a premium on high LSAT scores because they're much less common than high GPAs, and because your score is standardized. A school can find thousands of people with 4.0s to counter a lower GPA, but they can't find thousands of people who scored over 175, simply because there shouldn't be more than 1,000 people who did (.5% of 150,000 = 750). A 4.0 from a state school is not comparable to a 4.0 from somewhere that deflates grades. If Mr. 4.0 From a State School can't break 160 on the LSAT, then his GPA carries less weight than it would had he scored over 170. I guess it works as a screening mechanism for people with high GPAs who had easy majors or simply aren't that smart.

Scott, Stepp ranked individually
NEW ORLEANS (March 12, 2013) – The ETSU men's track & field team took the No. 15 spot in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's (USTFCCCA) final South Region poll, with sophomore K'Vone Scott (Virginia Beach, Va.) and junior Tyler Stepp (Dandridge, Tenn.) ranked among the top eight in their respective events individually.
Scott ranked No. 6 in the region in the heptathlon, totaling a season-best 5,160 points to take gold at the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships. The point total is the new ETSU school record in the event, breaking Scott's old record from his freshman campaign. Scott's indoor heptathlon mark also ranked him No. 1 in the A-Sun.
Stepp also ranked No. 6, but in the long jump after posting a 7.61m leap at the Virginia Tech Final Qualifiers. The personal-best outdid Stepp's mark from the A-Sun Indoor Championships, where he won gold at 7.51m. The mark to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships was 7.68m, but Stepp still finishes the season atop the A-Sun.
The top 15 team ranking is ETSU's first of the indoor season.

McAfee Risk Assessment and Overview of W32/Virut
The virus has a number of bugs in its code, and as a result it may misinfect a proportion of executable files....some W32/Virut.h infections are corrupted beyond repair.
AVG Overview of W32/VirutVirut is commonly spread via a flash drive (usb, pen, thumb, jump) infection using RUNDLL32.EXE and other malicious files. It is often contracted and spread by visiting remote, crack and keygen sites. These type of sites are infested with a smörgåsbord of malware and a major source of system infection.
There are bugs in the viral code. When the virus produces infected files, it also creates non-functional files that also contain the virus...Due to the damaged caused to files by virut it's possible to find repaired but corrupted files. They became corrupted by the incorrect writing of the viral code during the process of infection. undetected, corrupted files (possibly still containing part of the viral code) can also be found. this is caused by incorrectly written and non-function viral code present in these files.
Keygen and Crack Sites Distribute VIRUX and FakeAV
...warez and crack web pages are being used by cybercriminals as download sites for malware related to VIRUT and VIRUX. Searches for serial numbers, cracks, and even antivirus products like Trend Micro yield malcodes that come in the form of executables or self-extracting files...quick links in these sites also lead to malicious files. Ads and banners are also infection vectors...

#1 New from Baskin-Robbins - "Barocky Road"
05-09-2009, 07:40 PM"Rumors have it that Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor in honor of the 44th President of the United States: Barocky Road.

Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100 per scoop.
When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. Thus you are left with an empty wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any ice cream."
Very funny and typical thinking of democrats.:D

At ATG Stores we want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase. Our sincere goal is to provide an enjoyable shopping experience that encourages you to shop with us for years to come. On the rare occasion you receive a product that you just don't like or that doesn't match your decor, our experienced Customer Service staff is just a phone call away and will guide you through our easy return policy. At ATG Stores we want you to get exactly what you want and with our world-class product selection you can be sure you'll find the product that is right for you.
If you would like to return an item that is in like-new condition with original product tags and packaging that has not been installed, used, worn or modified, you may return the product at your expense within 30 days of receipt. Any additional fees for shipping internationally, shipping to HI or AK, or any minimum order fees are all non-refundable. Customers who place orders online are responsible for the accuracy of their product selection and information entered. Customers who place orders by phone or chat must review their receipt for accuracy within 24 hours.
Step 1: Acquire Authorization and Instructions
To begin the return process, please call 888-500-9541 or Live Chat with one of our fully trained Customer Service representatives.
Quick-Return Manufacturers
In most cases we will immediately email you a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number to return the product along with a label and return instructions. View the list of manufacturers participating in this program here.
Other Manufacturers
Some manufacturers, however, must first approve the return. This process may take up to 7 business days. Once received, we will email you a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number with a label and return instructions.
Step 2: Shipping Product Back
Below are the keys to a successful return:
You will have 30 days in which to return the product from the date that we receive approval from the manufacturer. After 30 days, the Return Authorization will expire and no replacements or refunds will be given.
In the event that a return becomes damaged on its way back to the return destination, ATG Stores will inform the customer via email that the item was received damaged and hold the product for up to 30 days. It is the customer's responsibility to file a claim with the shipping carrier and instruct ATG Stores concerning what to do with the damaged product. If ATG Stores has not received notification or response from the customer within 30 days, the item will be donated or destroyed.
Step 3: Refunds
Once the returned item has been received, verified to have all of its original contents and packaging, and also confirmed to be free of damage, modification or wear, the refund credit process will then begin.
Customers will be refunded via the same method in which the item was purchased or via a check from ATG Stores. Refunds via check are typically issued within 14 business days of final approval.
Items returned without the proper RGA# or sent to the wrong warehouse may delay the refund process. If credit is to be given, it may be for in-store credit only until the item is properly returned. Please read your return instructions carefully to avoid delays and unnecessary expenses.
Please do not request a charge-back from your credit card company during the return process. Due to the time it takes to resolve charge-back disputes, it is usually better to be patient and wait for the return process to run its course. If a charge-back has been submitted, we will not be able to credit you for your return until the charge-back mediation process has been completed. This process can take up to 180 days.
At ATG Stores, we understand that a product may get damaged in transit or, on occasion, there may be a manufacturer product defect. Rest assured, we will stand behind you during this process and make sure we do everything we can to bring it to a satisfying and timely conclusion - at no expense to you. For us to offer this level of service, however, we need a little help from the customer in the form of a detailed product inspection immediately upon delivery. This will make things much easier if you decide to return the item.
Small Package Deliveries
For smaller UPS or FedEx deliveries that are damaged in transit, please contact our Customer Service team immediately instead of refusing the package at 888-500-9541 or Live Chat. If damages are reported within 7 days for UPS or Fed-Ex deliveries, we can file a claim on behalf of the customer and work to quickly resolve it. Please be aware that replacements or refunds can be hindered or denied if the customer fails to notify ATG Stores of defective or damaged merchandise within two business days of receipt.
Large Package Deliveries
Immediate inspection is especially important when receiving large items (such as a bath tub, exercise equipment, large sink or furniture) from a Less than Truck Load (LTL), White Glove and common freight carriers. In this case, it is important to notate any damage on the bill of lading or receipt when you sign for the delivery, even if the package appears only slightly damaged.
Customers who sign for delivery and do not notate "damage" assume responsibility if merchandise is damaged. If the product itself appears significantly damaged, you may refuse delivery. Please notify ATG Stores of refusal so we can anticipate the return and send out a new item.
ATG Stores will repair or replace the damaged or defective goods for no additional charge. If a return is desired instead of replacement, the "Standard Return Policy" above applies.
Failure to follow return procedures for the damaged item may result in refund delays or application of in-store credit only.
Please note that returned items found to be in working condition or shipped as ordered may not be eligible for a full refund and return shipping may be deducted from the refunded amount.
If you would like to cancel an order that has not shipped from the manufacturer simply contact one of our Customer Service representatives at 888-500-9541 or Live Chat. Then we will submit a request to the manufacturer for cancellation. Shortly after, you will receive an email acknowledging your cancellation request followed by another email either confirming the cancellation or stating that we were unable to cancel. Please allow up to 72 hours for confirmation of cancellation.
Please be aware that some items may have already shipped from a manufacturer and be en route to the distributor for final shipment to you. In such a case, cancellation fees apply.
Once an order has already shipped, it cannot be cancelled, rerouted or redirected. If you would like to return the item, you will need to follow the "Standard Return Policy." Please do not refuse the delivery of non-damaged goods. A delivery refusal may complicate the return and refund process, and you may also be charged for roundtrip shipping costs.
If you are cancelling an order due to backorder, we recommend you first call our Customer Service department to verify the accuracy of the date before making your final decision. There are times when manufacturers have stated items as backordered, only to find that they have already shipped or are going out the next day. On the other hand, if the item is truly unavailable for an extended period, we sincerely apologize for the delay.
Please understand that we work with over 600 suppliers and are somewhat at their mercy to provide up-to-date stock availability information. That said, we are your voice and are leveraging our buying power to encourage manufacturers to improve their inventory levels and their technologies to provide improved service all the time.
Please note that since a cancellation request is time-sensitive we ask that you do not email or leave voice messages regarding your intention as it may interrupt the process. It is important that you contact a Customer Service representative directly at 888-500-9541 or Live Chat.
No-Hassle Exchanges
If you would like to exchange an item that is in like-new condition with original packaging, you may exchange the product within 30 days of receipt.
If you purchased an Assurant Premium Protection Plan you can read about the terms and conditions by clicking here.

Making it Work: Shiny Red Accents
Bright cherry red is generally not my color, but I do love the way a nice shiny red accent acts like an exclamation point in a room, punctuating it with vibrant energy. So what are some ways to introduce shiny red accents and still preserve your room's cohesiveness?
• Pairing shiny red with neutrals and organic textures has the effect of softening the red and making it seem more playful rather than brash. Case in point: The first photo... the wicker basket, hemp-colored linen chair, and rough-hewn wood table are such brilliant counterpoints to the shiny red hardware on the sideboard.
• Bring in other red accents in different textures—fluffy, nubbly, matte—to add depth and interest.
• If you aren't totally sold on bright red but want its pop, just use it for one or two small but crucial details, like cabinet hardware or a lamp base.
• Shiny red in a lush, verdant garden is sheer genius. See the third photo, a garden designed by Susan Welti (featured in The New York Times).
Some more red accent inspiration (and shopping guidance!) from the archives:
• Roundup: Red Accent Tables
• Accent Color: Bright Red With Wood Tones
• Roundup: Red Accents and Accessories for the Home
Do you have shiny red accents in your home? Tell us how you make it work!

Tax break, subsidizing minimum-wage hike more costly than estimated
ALBANY – The state's cost to give a $350 tax break to some middle-class taxpayers and to cover part of the higher payroll costs for businesses under the new minimum wage hike program will be more than the amount predicted last week by state officials.
The $350 tax break – in the form of checks to be delivered to a million or so taxpayers just before the November 2014 election – is now projected to cost the state $410 million. That is up from the $350 million to $375 million officials estimated a week ago.
That tax break will go to households with at least one dependent child and adjusted gross incomes between $40,000 and $300,000. Critics have questioned the logic behind calling such a family making $300,000 middle class and say it discriminates against couples without children and lower-income families.
The state-funded minimum wage subsidy will go to businesses to cover the difference when the minimum wage goes from $7.25 to $8 per hour in January. The 75 cents per hour subsidy will cover the costs for businesses that employ 16- to 19-year-olds who are students, though the budget bill does not define "student." When the wage is raised to $9 in January 2016, the state will pay businesses $1.35 per hour per employee for every one of those eligible workers. Backers say it will help smooth the costs for employers to avoid worker layoffs; critics say it is an unfair subsidy that will encourage companies to hire teens over workers age 20 and above, including senior citizens who can't afford to live just on Social Security.
The minimum wage tax subsidy was to cost about the state $45 million per year, officials said. New numbers from the Cuomo administration now show the subsidy will cost $35 million in the 2015 tax year and then average $65 million in each of the following three years.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is scheduled to visit the South Campus of the University at Buffalo at 10:30 a.m. today. His visit had been scheduled for Monday, but was postponed.

Coca Cola Responds To Sochi Olympics Protests
Just as the LGBT and allies wind down their Times Square protest against Coca-Cola for sponsoring the Sochi Winter Olympics, the international corporation has released a statement on the controversial issue.
So, what does Coke have to say about demands that it pull out of sponsoring the Olympics over Russia's anti-gay law?
As one of the world's most inclusive brands, we value and celebrate diversity. We have long been a strong supporter of the LGBT community and have advocated for inclusion and diversity through both our policies and practices. We do not condone human rights abuses, intolerance or discrimination of any kind anywhere in the world. As an Olympic sponsor since 1928, we believe the Olympic Games are a force for good that unite people through a common interest in sports, and we have seen firsthand the positive impact and long-lasting legacy they leave on every community that has been a host.
We support the core values of the Olympic Movement – excellence, friendship and respect – and are proud to continue our role in helping to make the Olympics a memorable experience for athletes, fans and communities all around the world. We are engaging with the International Olympic Committee on this important matter. We believe a more positive impact can be made through continued involvement, rather than by sitting on the sidelines.
What do you think of Coca Cola's statement? Is it enough for now or had you hoped for more?
Bravo for standing up for those being oppressed for something as simple as love...I have several members of my own family that are gay and I love and support them fully. What you are doing for the gay community is proving to everyone around the globe that hate won't and will not be tolerated...kudos Coca Cola...kudos to you all

VATICAN CITY — On Saturday the Vatican published — in Latin — Pope Benedict XVI's document establishing the "Pontifical Academy for Latinity," a title meant to project the fact that it won't be concerned only with the Latin language, but also with the Latin culture and literature that are part of the Western cultural and intellectual heritage. (See CNS STORY: Pope establishes pontifical Latin Academy)
Until the academy's establishment was announced Saturday, the Vatican's Latin scribes were doing double-duty as the manpower behind "Latinitas," a Latin-studies journal.
U.S. Msgr. Daniel B. Gallagher is one of the seven staff members of the Vatican Secretariat of State's Office of Latin Letters, which translates papal correspondence and documents into Latin, which is still the official language of the church.
Msgr. Gallagher said it was significant that the papal document was signed Nov. 10, the feast of St. Leo the Great, "whom most of us consider to be the most outstanding Latin stylist."
CNS interviewed Msgr. Gallagher in September. You can watch the video here:
Earlier, Msgr. Gallagher and some students at the Pontifical North American College in Rome spoke to CNS about their interest in Latin studies:

Northern '89 Connects Liberal Arts and FBIby Steve Charles • September 26, 2012 Share:
FBI agent Drew Northern '89 returned to campus Monday to meet with students and "to tell an adventure story as a 'thank you' to Wabash.
"I'm honored to be here, and to be standing in the room with these professors and coaches and friends who taught me," Northern said as he began the inaugural "The Liberal Arts at Work" lecture. "Whatever good things I am today are due to what they did to help me. I was a farm kid from Greenwood, Indiana, and wasn't sure I belonged here. But they saw something in me, encouraged me to do something good with my life."
Then he told his story.
"On December 26, 2007, as I stepped past the door gunner of the Ambassador's Huey and onto the tarmac at a forward operating base in Iraq called Delta, I looked over my shoulder and at 53 people getting off helicopters all coming my way—Special Forces guys, archaeologists, FBI agents, all members of our team. It was the beginning of one of the coolest things I've ever been involved in."
Northern was in Iraq as coordinator of the FBI's Baghdad Major Crimes Task Force, leading an operation which helped shut down a major antiquities smuggling pipeline, recovered stolen and counterfeit artifacts, and located a valuable archaeological site in dire need of cultural protection.
That "coolest thing I've ever been involved with" was the Lost City operation, a mission into an active combat area to investigate a site rumored to be the ancient lost city of Ur-Sagrig, where antiquities had been routinely looted.
"Most Iraqis thought the United States was in Iraq to steal its cultural heritage, something much more important than oil," Northern explained. Further stoking those suspicions was the fact that when Operation Iraqi Freedom started, the military had been unprepared to prevent the looting of the Baghdad museum and other sites.
"If we could show Iraqi people we weren't there to do that, but to help preserve that cultural heritage, then we could change Iraqi public opinion," Northern said. "And, you know, if you tell a Wabash guy to do something, he makes it happen."
Northern's task force arrested forgers, recovered more than 600 pieces of that cultural heritage, and, on the December 26, 2007 mission, located and visited a site that may be a lost city with extraordinary archaeological value.
"They said if we found this, it would be the Iraqi equivalent of finding the lost city of Atlantis," Northern said.
In the process, Northern and his team worked with Iraqi law enforcement officials to restore the rule of law to a country that had fallen into disorder and become the kidnapping capital of the world.
"It was scary to see how quickly the Cradle of Civilization had devolved into a Cradle of Chaos in which sectarian violence, public corruption and lawlessness threatened the stability of the Iraqi government and the safety of the Iraqi people," Northern said. "As coordinator of the Major Crimes Task Force and the Rule of Law Initiative, I mentored police and military investigators in the investigative and interrogation techniques that would work in a democratic state."
It would prove a difficult transition.
"Many of these people had been investigators under Saddaam Hussein, and most of the police stations had cattle prods, knives, hooks hanging from the ceiling, and car batteries that had been used as instruments of torture during interrogations."
Northern also worked with an Iraqi judge with great courage.
"A very brave man who put the justice ahead of his career and even his own safety," Northern said. "It will take many people like these, who stand for what's right, no matter what. Iraq is going to have to battle this out for a long time, but these are the people who will ultimately restore the rule of law to their country."
For Northern, though, the high point of his service in Iraq was that day at Ur-Sagrit.
"Every time I hear a helicopter blade I think back to what we did that day, how I summoned all the different elements of my liberal arts background to make this Lost City operation happen."
He credited his Wabash education for teaching him the value of teamwork and how to communicate effectively.
'This is where I developed my intellectual curiosity, and that confidence that comes from the Wabash experience."
Northern is currently the FBI's Chief Division Counsel/Supervisory Special Agent in the Indianapolis Field Office, and he also spoke to students about careers in the bureau. He noted that 30 is the average age of those starting at the FBI—he advised students to gain life experience, noting the military was an excellent stepping stone into the bureau.
Anne and Andrew T. Ford Chair in the Liberal Arts and Professor of English Tobey Herzog H'11 was Northern's freshman academic advisor in 1984, and he introduced his former student Monday night, recalling the time he saw the future FBI agent dressed in army fatigues and jeans and wandering around the local Target store.
"I thought he was just desperate to meet local girls," Herzog said. "So I stopped him and asked what he was doing."
Northern had been hired by the store to look out for shoplifters.
"So I saw it, firsthand." Herzog laughed. "The very beginning of Drew's illustrious career in law enforcement."
Following the talk, Northern presented Herzog and Wabash with an American flag that had flown over the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
Northern's presentation Monday was the first of a new lecture series titled "The Liberal Arts at Work," which is funded by the Anne and Andrew T. Ford Fund in the Liberal Arts.

On the 20th January 2010 IUCN together with Natureparif is launching a competition to reward European cities for innovation and excellence in preserving the wealth of nature.
"Every day animals and plants disappear from our planet forever," says Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General."From the smallest village to the largest city, local authorities are key players in conserving biodiversity."
There is a wide variety of biodiversity within many European cities, towns and villages. This is due to the range of habitats available: gardens and parks, rivers and small forests, old buildings and walls, fallow land and much more. For many people this is their first, or even their only, contact with nature as they live far away from bigger natural habitats which are more commonly found in rural areas.
"The urban population is steadily growing. I am confident that this competition will increase awareness and encourage French local authorities to take concrete action for biodiversity" said Jean-Vincent Place, President of Natureparif, France.
The "European Capitals of Biodiversity" competition is organized in each of the five partner countries – Germany, Slovakia, Spain, France and Hungary – to recognise and reward local authorities that implement strong initiatives to conserve and enhance biodiversity. The contest runs simultaneously in the five participating countries and will lay the groundwork for a major European-wide contest.
A final report on the initiatives carried out by the municipalities will be compiled by the partners and disseminated amongst the municipalities by national partners. It is hoped that this competition will lead to a Europe-wide competition in coming years.
The event takes place on the eve of the global launch of the International Year of Biodiversity hosted by UNESCO. The launch will happen at the presence of heads of state and government, as well as high-level representatives of leading environmental organizations.

In 1991, the National Film Preservation Board selected High School (1969) for inclusion in the National Film Registry. Richard Schickel, writing in Life, called this a wicked, brilliant documentary about life in a lower-middle-class secondary school. Acclaimed filmmaker Frederick Wiseman roamed freely through Philadelphia's Northeast High School to document a continual clash of teens with administrators who confused learning with discipline. At 75 minutes, this is one of Wiseman's shortest documentaries, yet the impact is just as memorable as in his three-hour films. Both facts and social values are transmitted from one generation to another, and such social conditioning is seen in a series of formal and informal encounters between teachers, students, parents, and administrators. One disciplinarian lectures a minor offender: We are out to establish that you are a man and that you can take orders. Wiseman went back to school 25 years later to film more successful student-teacher interactions and progressive teaching methods at an alternative high school in New York's Spanish Harlem, seen in his much longer (220 minutes) High School II (1994).~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
Director: Frederick Wiseman

PORTLAND (AP) — Portland city councilors are expressing their support for looking at the feasibility of developing train, bus or some other commuter transportation service linking Portland with the cities of Lewiston and Auburn.
The City Council this week approved a resolution directing the city manager to work with Lewiston and Auburn, the Maine Department of Transportation and other agencies to secure funding for a study and to work toward advancing the initiative.
Portland Mayor Michael Brennan says a commuter transit service linking the cities would reduce single-passenger car trips and enhance the quality of life and employment opportunities for area residents.
Portland is Maine's largest city and Lewiston, 40 miles to the north, is the second largest in the state.

Thursday's High School Baseball Roundup
FORT SMITH, Ark. — A questionable call which went against the Poteau Pirates spelled doom for the locals as it allowed the Fort Smith Southside Rebels to continue a seventh-inning rally to pull out a 10-9 victory Thursday afternoon.Down 9-7, the Rebels (7-10) got the game tied at 9-9. Then with runners at first and second and one out, Southside batter Rob Gean hit a sharp grounder to deep shortstop, which was fielded by Poteau's Jace Pitchford. Pitchford threw to third baseman Jake McMillin for the second out of the inning. But the forced-out runner, Southside's Aaron Henry, did not slide, but came in standing — thus, knocking Pitchford off balance to where he could not complete a throw to first base for a potential inning-ending double play.But instead of either calling interference or ejecting Henry for failing to slide, the umpires let the play stand.The next batter, Daniel Young, hit a 3-2 pitch into center field to score the game-winning run from second base — and make Poteau pitcher Mike Didway (0-1) a hard-luck loser, who suffered the loss in relief of McMillin who started the game.After being down 5-3 after an inning, the Pirates (5-6) scored three runs in the third inning to regain the lead at 6-5 after three innings.After Southside tied the game at 6-6 after four innings, Poteau scored three more runs in the fifth inning to break the tie to take a 9-6 lead. But the Rebels scored once in the sixth and three runs in the seventh to get the win.Leflore 8, Panola 0; Leflore 7, Panola 0: In Leflore, the Savages got two good pitching outings from Dakota Watson and Garrett Singleterry.In the opener, Watson struck out eight batters in five innings. His team used a five-run fourth inning, highlighted by Seth Singleterry's three-run triple, to take an 8-0 lead.In the nightcap, Garrett Singleterry had six Ks in the five-inning contest. A five-run third inning, fueled by Chance Yandell's three-RBI triple, was the big inning for Leflore, which had Friday's home game canceled with Keota because the Lions are in the Wister Tournament.Spiro 11, Vian 5: In Vian, the Bulldogs (6-5) used a five-run fifth inning, highlighted by the second of two home runs by Tyler Didway, a three-run shot, to put the game into Spiro's favor.Didway's first homer was a two-run shot in the first inning.Keota 14, Arkoma 3: In Arkoma, a seven-run fourth inning broke open the game in the Lions' favor.Charleston, Ark., 12, Pocola 11: In Charleston, Ark., the Tigers capped the comeback victory with an eight-run seventh inning, six of the runs being scored with two outs.The Indians may have lost more than just a game as starting pitcher Connor Mangham had to leave the game to begin the second inning after injuring his elbow while warming up to begin the inning. Pocola Coach Eddie Combs said he is out indefinitely.Editor's Note — Bokoshe's home games Thursday with Kinta and Friday with the Poteau junior varsity were canceled, and will likely not be rescheduled.

UPDATE: 4 Mar 09 There are now reports that Senator Menendez is not the only Senator holding up these nominations. I've got a new post up with the updated information and new suggestions for ways you can help.
The Washington Post is reporting that Senate votes to confirm Jane Lubchenco as NOAA Administrator and John Holdren as Science Advisor are currently being obstructed by a Democratic Senator. Quoting multiple unnamed sources, the Post says that New Jersey Democrat Robert Menendez has placed an "anonymous hold" on the nominations in order to try to gain leverage for some issues related to Cuba that he's interested in.
Menendez's office, the Post reports, refused to confirm or deny the reports, saying only that it's their "policy" not to "speculate or comment" on matters related to anonymous holds. They also report, however, that a spokesman for Harry Reid said "We will work to try to address any concerns that he [Menendez] may have."
This is completely unacceptable. David Vitter might have been a jerk during last month's confirmation hearing, but even he declined to try to delay confirmation for these nominees. Both of these positions are important parts of the Obama Administration's environmental policy team. They are not unimportant positions, and both the nominees and the positions themselves deserve far more respect than Menendez is displaying. These people have agreed to serve their country. They should not be treated as pawns in whatever unrelated game the Senator is trying to play.
Please take a couple of minutes and contact Menendez's office. Tell him that science policy is too important to use as a pawn in whatever game he's playing. If you can, you should also contact the Majority Leader's office. Remind Senator Reid that science and the environment are important issues, and that you know he can, if he so chooses, push the nominations through over the hold. Contact your own senators, too, and ask them to bring whatever pressure they can on Menendez and Reid.
In his Inaugural Address, President Obama talked about restoring science to its rightful place. We can debate just what that should mean, but I'm sure we can all agree that the rightful place of science in public policy is not as a disposable pawn in an unrelated political game.
Contact information for the various Senators can be found below the jump.
The Senators use form based email that asks for an address. I suspect that emails from addresses within the Senator's home state are read much more quickly than out of state emails. (And that there's a good chance that the out of state emails are not read at all.) Apropos of nothing, I'm going to include the addresses for the Senator's home state offices, as well as the information for their DC office.

TIFFIN, OH. – Charlie Huff, Robert Parland, and Austin Akins have all advanced to day two of the 2014 NCAA Super Regional Championship after winning two matches each during day one. As a team, the Cobras are currently in 14th pace.
Huff got off to a slow start at 133, but then bounced back and won his final two matches of the day to advance to day two. Parland would follow the same pattern after losing his first at 197, but then win by a 7-2 and 3-2 decision to end the day. Akins would fall in his first round as well at 285, but then receive a bye after a forefeit in match two. Akins would then capitalize by winning a tight 3-1 decision, and advancing to day two.
The Cobras struggled in the early weight division as Gavin Perkins fell in his first and second matches at 125. Rashad Cunningham (141), Kevin Thompson (149), Philip Burrows (165), Zach Dicus (174) and Shane Carpenter (184) all lost their first melee of the day, but then would bounce back and win the second. Unfortunately, all would be later eliminated after losing their third and final quarrel of the day. JD Dykes suffered an injury in his first round at 157, and was forced to take a medical forfeit at the 157-weight class.
Huff will start the Saturday (Mar. 1) against Joseph Her of Wisconsin-Parkside. Parland will faceoff against Davien Willis of Wisconsin-Parkside, while Akins squares off against Matt Wade of Newberry.

U.S. EPA Awards Arizona more than $27 million to Improve Water Quality, Protect Public Health
Release Date: 10/17/2012
Contact Information: Rusty Harris-Bishop, 415-972-3140, email@example.com
Hundreds of millions in funding provided to Arizona since 1990
(10/17/12) SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) a $9,542,000 million grant for its Clean Water State Revolving Fund and an $18,327,000 million grant for its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for water pollution control and drinking water infrastructure projects.
WIFA will use the funds to provide low-cost loans for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades. WIFA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund provides financing for municipal wastewater treatment projects, while its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund provides financial assistance for basic drinking water infrastructure for both public and private drinking water systems.
"EPA is continuing its investment in Arizona's water infrastructure," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "Our goal is to ensure that Arizona has safe, reliable drinking water and proper wastewater treatment."
U.S. EPA has awarded more than $240 million in federal funding for Arizona's Clean Water State Revolving Fund from inception of the program. WIFA increases the investment in Arizona by leveraging the federal dollars on the bond market. WIFA's Clean Water Revolving Fund reached $1.4 billion in assistance provided cumulatively, with a total of 171 wastewater treatment projects funded through 2012. The funds are used for a wide variety of water quality projects, including nonpoint source pollution control, watershed protection or restoration, water and energy efficiency projects, wastewater reclamation, and traditional municipal wastewater treatment projects.
WIFA's Drinking Water Revolving Fund has received $297.1 million in federal funding to date. WIFA has issued 185 drinking water loans totaling $713 million through 2012. Funds to the program also support projects like drinking water plant operator training, and technical assistance.
"One of the best things about WIFA is our ability to help communities throughout Arizona with their water infrastructure needs," said WIFA Executive Director, Sandy Sutton. "Not only are we able to award very low-interest rate loans, we also offer incentives for green projects and even further financial incentives for disadvantaged communities. For some communities, this is their only option when it comes to improving or upgrading their water infrastructure."
Forty years ago, when the federal Clean Water Act was made law, Congress charged a fledgling EPA with the goal of making the nation's waters "fishable and swimmable." Achieving this goal requires communities to make large investments in drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. The state revolving funds are EPA's primary tools for helping communities meet their continuing and significant water infrastructure needs. Each state maintains revolving loan fund programs, capitalized by the EPA, to provide low-cost financing for water quality infrastructure projects.

Passengers who finally got to disembark from a disabled Carnival cruise ship in Alabama are checking into hotels or heading home by bus.
The vacation ship carrying some 4,200 people docked late Thursday in Mobile after five numbing days at sea without power.
Passengers raucously cheered the docking after days of what they described as overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
It was supposed to be a fun trip with girlfriends for 28-year-old Maria Hernandez of Angleton, Texas. But Hernandez said instead, "It was horrible, just horrible."
It took less than four hours to get all the passengers off the crippled ship.
Some boarded about 100 buses for trips to hotels in New Orleans, about two hours away, or all the way to Texas.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 15, 2012) – Basketball season is just around the corner as ETSU women's basketball started preparing for the 2012-13 season and is less than a month way from the season opener.
Head ETSU women's basketball coach Karen Kemp returns for a 19th season at the helm.
"It's the first week, but as far as work ethic and playing hard and going hard, I have been really pleased," Kemp said. "It is early on so we do have a ways to go, but I'm pleased with the focus. They have come out with a lot of focus everyday and eager to learn. Having so many returnees it has been a little smoother, because we only have three newcomers. It has been easy to add and put in a lot of our offense and defense early because we have so many returnees."
The Lady Bucs are coming off a tough 2011-12 season with an 8-22 record, which snapped their program-best six consecutive winning seasons. However, ETSU looks to return to its winning ways as they return eight letterwinners. The Blue and Gold return three starters, Tosha Austin (Chattanooga, Tenn.), Brianna Bogard (Georgetown, Texas) and Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.), including letterwinners Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.), Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.), Amy Duke (Hendersonville, Tenn.), Ashley Miles (Bowie, Md.) and Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.).
Mitchell will be looked upon to continue to lead ETSU as she is the Lady Bucs's top returning scorer and rebounder. The Bluffton, Ga., native averaged 12.2 points per game and grabbed a conference best 8.9 boards per game. She earned her second-straight Second-Team All-Atlantic Sun honor last March. Mitchell is on pace to become the 21st Lady Buc to join the 1,000 point club as she scored 367 points last year and 347 as a freshman.
The Lady Bucs will miss three of their four top scorers from last year in guards Natalie Pickwell and Tarita Gordon, and forward Gwen Washington. Washington ended her historic career as the 20th member to the 1,000-point club and appeared in all 124 games in the last four years. Pickwell led the team with 48 three-pointers and ranked second with 9.9 points per game. Gordon guided ETSU's offense with a team-best 74 assists and added 7.7 points per game.
Kemp and her coaching staff have added a lot of depth to the front court with four new forwards. Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) sat out last year after transferring from Clemson and has become one of the squads more vocal leaders. Charlotte transfer Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) will be eligible once the fall semester grades are reported because the Camilla, Ga., native joined ETSU's squad last January. Freshmen Jasmine Kemp (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and Imani Martinez (Annandale, N.J.) were both tabbed in the nation's top-135 forwards list by ESPN HoopGurlz. The Lady Bucs also added athleticism and speed to their back court with the signing of freshman Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.). The guard from Jonesboro, Ga. is one of the fastest players on the floor and has a nose for the ball.
The Lady Bucs have been allotted 30 practices in a 40-day span and will open the season at High Point on Saturday, Nov. 10. Prior to the season opener, ETSU has a pair of exhibition games with Carson-Newman on Nov. 3 and Young Harris on Nov. 5.
ETSU fans wanting Buccaneer news, score updates, in-game promotions and much more sent to their mobile device can do so by signing up for "Buc Updates." Click here to sign up today!

February 20, 2014 10:00 ET
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - February 20, 2014) - Limiting radiation therapy to lymph nodes on one side of the neck for advanced tonsil cancer resulted in good local regional control and no cancer recurrence on the untreated side, according to research presented today at the 2014 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Symposium. Additionally, the study results indicate that primary tumor location, rather than the amount of lymph node involvement on the tumor side of the neck, dictates the risk for disease in the opposite side of the neck.
The study focused on 46 out of 153 total patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil who received treatment between 1997 and 2012 at Washington University in St. Louis. Tumor location was well-documented in the 46 patients who received unilateral radiation therapy (RT), with 40 patients (87 percent) having lateralized (located on one side of the throat) primary tumors; two patients (4 percent) had non-lateralized tumors, and in four patients (9 percent), lateralization could not be determined retrospectively. The patients underwent surgical resection and postoperative intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), with 30 patients also receiving concurrent chemotherapy.
Of the subset of 46 patients treated unilaterally, 72 percent were men, and the average patient age was 59. Sixty-one percent of patients were current or former smokers. The cancer stage/classification for the study group was: TX = 2 percent (1); T1 = 44 percent (20); T2 = 41 percent (19); and T3 = 13 percent (6). The patients' stages of lymph node involvement were: N0 = 11 percent (5); N1 = 13 percent (6); and N2 = 76 percent (35). The prescribed radiation doses were 60-66 Gy to the postoperative bed and involved neck; and 52-54 Gy to the elective neck in 30-33 fractions using a simultaneous integrated boost technique.
The median follow-up period was 2.8 years (range was .4 to 8.7 years). There were no local or regional recurrences reported, meaning the cancer did not recur in the adjacent nodes or the original location of the cancer in any of the patients. Distant metastasis, meaning the cancer spread from the original tumor site to distant organs or lymph nodes, developed in four (9 percent) of the patients. Two patients developed second primary (new) cancers.
"All treatments for cancer -- surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy -- although effective, can cause temporary and/or permanent toxicity which can affect long-term quality of life," said study author Wade Thorstad, MD, chief of Head and Neck Services and associate professor of Radiation Oncology at Washington University School of Medicine. "Our research indicates that for appropriately selected patients with tonsil cancer, the volume of radiation therapy necessary to control the cancer can be significantly reduced, therefore reducing the side effects and toxicity of radiation, while maintaining a high rate of tumor control."
The abstract, "Unilateral Radiotherapy in Node Positive Patients with Lateralized Tonsillar Carcinoma," will be presented in detail as a poster presentation at the 2014 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Symposium. To speak with Dr. Thorstad, contact Michelle Kirkwood on February 20 - 21, 2014 in the ASTRO Press Office at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona at 480-596-7085 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The 2014 Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Symposium is sponsored by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the American Head & Neck Society (AHNS). The two-and-a-half day meeting includes interactive educational sessions focused on topics such as supportive care, directed therapy, new surgical and radiotherapeutic techniques, as well as 12 oral abstract presentations of the current science of relevance to the head and neck cancer community. A total of 189 abstracts will be presented including 177 posters. Keynote speakers include Jennifer Grandis, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh, to present "The Molecular Road to Defining and Targeting High-risk Head and Neck Patients;" and Julia H. Rowland, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute, to present "Cancer Survivorship: Research Opportunities on the Path to Where We Want to Be."

154 Unilateral Radiotherapy in Node Positive Patients with Lateralized Tonsillar CarcinomaDefinitive Management of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
M. Y. Hwang, C. R. Spencer, P. Patel, R. Chin, H. A. Gay, B. H. Haughey, B. Nussenbaum, D. Adkins, J. S. Lewis, W. L. Thorstad, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO
Background: Unilateral radiotherapy in lateralized tonsil carcinoma is considered safe for patients with low nodal stage (N0-N1) disease. There is a paucity of literature reporting unilateral radiotherapy for advanced (N2) nodal disease. Here we report the Washington University experience using unilateral radiotherapy for advanced nodal stage in lateralized tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma.Methods and Materials: Between 1997 and 2012, 153 consecutive patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil were treated with surgical resection and postoperative IMRT. Lateralization was well documented in 129 patients (84%). 46 patients received unilateral radiotherapy. The N and T stage for this group was N0, N1, N2, or N3 disease in 5 (11%), 6 (13%), 35 (76%), and 0 (0%), respectively and the number with TX, T1, T2, T3, or T4 disease were 1 (2%), 20 (44%), 19 (41%), 6 (13%), and 0 (0%), respectively. Prescribed radiation doses were 60-66 Gy to the postoperative bed and involved neck and 52-54 Gy to the elective neck in 30-33 fractions using a simultaneous integrated boost technique. 30/46 patients received concurrent chemotherapy.Results: Of the 46 patients treated unilaterally, 72% were men, median age was 59 years, 61% were known current or ex-smokers, and 33 patients (72%) were p16 immunohistochemistry positive. Forty patients (87%) had lateralized primary tumors, 2 patients (4%) had non-lateralized tumors, and in 4 patients (9%) lateralization could not be determined retrospectively. The median follow up period was 2.8 years (range, 0.4 - 8.7 years). There were no local or regional recurrences in this group of patients treated with unilateral radiotherapy. Distant metastasis developed in 4/46 (9%), and 2 patients developed second primaries.Conclusions: In this cohort of patients with lateralized tonsil cancer, in whom 76% had N2 neck disease, no contralateral neck failures occurred with unilateral radiotherapy. These results support the contention that primary tumor location rather than ipsilateral neck N stage dictate the risk for disease in the contralateral neck.
