It never officially went away, but ARC Minnesota Southwest is officially back in Redwood Falls.
It never really went away, but ARC Minnesota Southwest is back in Redwood Falls.
"Redwood Falls has been a leader in programs for the developmentally disabled for a long time," said Lee Ann Erickson, Program Director/Acting Executive Director.
"We want there to be an ARC in Redwood Falls again, and we'd like to be organized by local families."
At its largest in Redwood Falls in the 1980s, ARC had over 200 local members. However, there hasn't been an official ARC meeting in Redwood Falls in several years.
Last Thursday, Erickson was in Redwood Falls to see fi there was interest in reviving the group.
ARC was founded more than 50 years ago as an informal group of parents of children with developmental disabilities.
"In those days, parents were looking for an alternative to institutionalizing their children," said Erickson,
The name was originally an acronym for Association for Retarded Children.
However, the name was changed in 1989, partly because of concern over the word "retarded", and partly to open the organization up to a wider spectrum of developmental disabilities.
At one point, there were 85 ARC groups spread across Minnesota, advocating for better living and working conditions for children and adults with developmental disabilities.
And it worked. Conditions improved dramatically from the days when the disabled were just automatically placed in state homes.
However, in a sense, ARC became a victim of its own success.
"The ARCs started disbanding with the communities found places for the developmentally disabled to work and live," said Erickson.
"Parents are telling us they're facing quite a lot of cuts in schools, residential, and transitional programs," said Erickson.
"Today, parents of children with disabilities feel alone, and isolated. Because of new date privacy laws, they don't get to find out about each other, and get to network."
With funding cuts affecting ARC itself, the organization had to take a good look at itself.
"We haven't really been reaching the younger parents," admitted Erickson.
"We're not really a viable organization if we have to pay someone to organize chapters, so it occurred to us, why not go back to the families? They know what their kids need, and don't need the training (to work with them).
"We're reaching the self-advocating families, but not all of them know about us, and we're not reaching all of them that we can help," said Erickson.
For more information about ARC Southwest Minnesota, contact Erickson at 507-235-8580, or Pat Brooks, Regional Coordinator for Lyon, Lincoln, Redwood, Yellow Medicine Counties, at 507-430-1455.

Miniprep >
The NucleoSpin Plasmid Miniprep Kit is designed for the rapid (25 min), high-yield (up to 40 µg), small-scale preparation of high-purity plasmid DNA. These miniprep columns contain a unique silica membrane that binds up to 40 µg of plasmid DNA. The purified DNA is suitable for transfection, cloning, sequencing, PCR, transformation, and restriction analysis.
The miniprep kit allows purification of up to 25 μg plasmid DNA per preparation, from 1–5 ml of saturated E. coli culture. You can also use this kit to purify up to 40 μg of plasmid DNA from 5–10 ml E. coli culture. In order to obtain optimal results from 5–10 ml E. coli culture, increase your buffer volumes using the NucleoSpin Buffer Set.
Harvested bacteria are resuspended and processed by SDS/alkaline lysis (see the User Manual, located in the Documents tab below). High-salt buffer is added to neutralize the lysate and to create appropriate conditions for DNA binding to the silica membrane. After centrifugation, the clear supernatant is loaded onto a NucleoSpin Plasmid miniprep spin column.
Contaminants like salts and macromolecular cellular components are removed by simple washing with ethanolic Buffer A4. Additional washing with Buffer AW is recommended for the following demands:
Highly pure plasmid miniprep DNA is finally eluted in 50 μl slightly alkaline Buffer AE (5 mM Tris/HCl, pH 8.5). Alternatively, water (pH 8.0–8.5) can be used.

- angiogenesis (1)
- cancer cells (1)
- immune tolerance (1)
- invasion (1)
- preeclampsia (1)
- Function of survivin in trophoblastic cells of the placenta (2013)
- Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide and its pathogenesis is not totally understood. As a member of the chromosomal passenger complex and an inhibitor of apoptosis, survivin is a well-characterized oncoprotein. Its roles in trophoblastic cells remain to be defined. Methods: The placental samples from 16 preeclampsia patients and 16 well-matched controls were included in this study. Real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were carried out with placental tissues. Primary trophoblastic cells from term placentas were isolated for Western blot analysis. Cell proliferation, cell cycle analysis and immunofluorescence staining were performed in trophoblastic cell lines BeWo, JAR and HTR-8/SVneo. Results: The survivin gene is reduced but the protein amount is hardly changed in preeclamptic placentas, compared to control placentas. Upon stress, survivin in trophoblastic cells is phosphorylated on its residue serine 20 by protein kinase A and becomes stabilized, accompanied by increased heat shock protein 90. Depletion of survivin induces chromosome misalignment, abnormal centrosome integrity, and reduced localization and activity of Aurora B at the centromeres/kinetochores in trophoblastic metaphase cells. Conclusions: Our data indicate that survivin plays pivotal roles in cell survival and proliferation of trophoblastic cells. Further investigations are required to define the function of survivin in each cell type of the placenta in the context of proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration and invasion.
- The effects of clinical hypnosis versus Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) before External Cephalic Version (ECV) : a prospective off-centre randomised, double-blind, controlled trial (2012)
- Objective. To examine the effects of clinical hypnosis versus NLP intervention on the success rate of ECV procedures in comparison to a control group. Methods. A prospective off-centre randomised trial of a clinical hypnosis intervention against NLP of women with a singleton breech fetus at or after 370/7 (259 days) weeks of gestation and normal amniotic fluid index. All 80 participants heard a 20-minute recorded intervention via head phones. Main outcome assessed was success rate of ECV. The intervention groups were compared with a control group with standard medical care alone (n=122). Results. A total of 42 women, who received a hypnosis intervention prior to ECV, had a 40.5% (n=17), successful ECV, whereas 38 women, who received NLP, had a 44.7% (n=17) successful ECV (P > 0.05). The control group had similar patient characteristics compared to the intervention groups (P > 0.05). In the control group (n = 122) 27.3% (n = 33) had a statistically significant lower successful ECV procedure than NLP (P = 0.05) and hypnosis and NLP (P = 0.03). Conclusions. These findings suggest that prior clinical hypnosis and NLP have similar success rates of ECV procedures and are both superior to standard medical care alone.
- A lesson for cancer research : placental microarray gene analysis in preeclampsia (2012)
- Tumor progression and pregnancy share many common features, such as immune tolerance and invasion. The invasion of trophoblasts in the placenta into the uterine wall is essential for fetal development, and is thus precisely regulated. Its deregulation has been implicated in preeclampsia, a leading cause for maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Pathogenesis of preeclampsia remains to be defined. Microarray-based gene profiling has been widely used for identifying genes responsible for preeclampsia. In this review, we have summarized the recent data from the microarray studies with preeclamptic placentas. Despite the complex of gene signatures, suggestive of the heterogeneity of preeclampsia, these studies identified a number of differentially expressed genes associated with preeclampsia. Interestingly, most of them have been reported to be tightly involved in tumor progression. We have discussed these interesting genes and analyzed their potential molecular functions in preeclampsia, compared with their roles in malignancy development. Further investigations are warranted to explore the involvement in molecular network of each identified gene, which may provide not only novel strategies for prevention and therapy for preeclampsia but also a better understanding of cancer cells. The trophoblastic cells, with their capacity for proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis and survival, migration, angiogenesis and immune modulation by exploiting similar molecular pathways, make them a compelling model for cancer research.

I came across this article that compares Smith's numbers and age to other QBs who recently signed extensions. Based on their analysis, Smith would get ~15 mil a year.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is what his agent is asking and we are low balling in the 10-12 mil range. I was thinking he would be worth 10-12, so I was surprised to see where he fell out. What are your guys thoughts?

Here is the statement from the league:Lame lame lame. Richardson instigated this mess and he gets off with a fine only. A Heat player grabbed KG from behind. A natural reaction is to fight to break free. If Q's big mouth wasn't in the area it wouldn't have gotten elbowized. The NBA is so soft. JR 4/18/2010 07:47:00 PM Tweet Edit
NEW YORK, April 18, 2010 – Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics has been
suspended without pay for one game for striking the Miami Heat's Quentin
Richardson in the head with an elbow, it was announced today by Stu
Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations. Richardson
has been fined $25,000 for his role in the altercation.
35 Responses so far.
Ashley says:
quentin richardson is a little bitch only asking for trouble, he better watch out.
Q should be suspended too why come over and talk
this is bullshit
i cant WAIT for game 3. oh how we're going to KILL them
Stu and the league office with another great decision. Q has always been a punk bitch and
instigated the whole incident.
Will make a Boston win impressive and useful with Sheed and Baby getting more important minutes.
what ?????????
It didn't even look like the elbow hit him.
And Magloire should've been suspended, he came off the bench.
half the miami bench is seen in this picture with hands ALL over KG and big baby. every player that stood up should have been hit with a fine.
At first I read it as "half Miami BEACH is seen in this picture with hands ALL over KG"
Garnett got what he deserved. Hell, he should of been suspended for the entire series. If Garnett wants to throw elbows, then he should go into the UFC. There is no place in the NBA for that kind of behavior. But then again, Garnett has always been known for being a dirty player. Anyways, Boston sucks and the Lakers will repeat as champs. Go L.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous, you do know that your most famous Los Angeles Raper... I mean Laker Mr. Bryant threw an elbow last year in the playoffs at Ron Artest and didn't receive any suspension right? I'm assuming you know that and aren't like most ignorant dumbass Lakers fans. Thanks for stopping by.
The Flakers will not repeat. The winner of the East will win it all.
LOL, all you Boston fans are just jealous of the Lakers and L.A.I ain't mad at you Bostonians for hating on the Lakers and the city of Angels. See you guys in the finals. Oh wait,you guys are not even going to make it. Have fun losing to Cleveland you losers!!!
hahaha wow you flaker fans are pretty gay considering this isn't even a series that concerns you. shove it. ANYWAYS TO PEOPLE WHO MATTER AKA BOSTON FANS...as much as it irks me to agree with it Donny Marshall said it best "Quentin you can go to school, but you can't buy class" I hope Q Rich breaks a bone in Game 2, or the Celtics should do it for him.
I wonder why Los Angeles counts the Lakers titles in Minneapolis as their own? Oh yeah, b/c its the only way you guys can even see the Celtics who are that far ahead. Nice 38 point loss to us the last time you faced us in the Finals.
You Boston freaks just can't handle the truth that L.A. has the best NBA team. You Celtic fans are just a bunch of DOUCHE BAGS and the Lakers are always going to be the best NBA franchise in history!!!
"You Boston freaks just can't handle the truth that L.A. has the best NBA team"
What are you basing that on? That the Flakers have 2 less championships than the Celtics? Or that 5 of the Flakers titles didn't even happen in LA?
Seriously I never goto Flaker blogs, so why don't you just go away.
Bohemian says:
So the league rewards the instigator and punishes the player that defends integrity, alright. This decision is a shame to the league, it should be the other way round: KG gets the fine and Q gets suspended. How about the rest of the Heat players? Shameful!
Let's destroy them in game 2!
JR and TB adding to your point about the Flaker method of counting championships - Oklahoma City is currently playing for their 2nd banner.
LOL at all the Celtics kool-aid drinking. KG is a bitch
Great comment thread! Garnett's suspension could be a good thing for this team. Maybe this will motivate them.
Marylou says:
Richardson had no business going over there in the first place. Totally inappropriate. He wanted to stir trouble. And he is only fined? Outrageous!
"Q" ought to shut his effing mouth before someone shuts it for him. THAT I'd pay to see. What a creep.
Why are there laker fans posting on this blog? There is no reason for them to be here, this is not any of their business. I agree with Karl. This will probably motivate the Celtics more. Plus, in game 3, KG will be back and he's gonna get going too. By doing this, this probably handed the series to the Celtics because they are gonna be more motivated now than ever. Plus if I were them, I would be mad at Q and I would want to win more than ever. This sucks at the moment, but in the long run this could be very helpful for the C's. They'll finally be motivated.
Regardless of which side you're on, Boston or Miami, if you looed at the incident, you would hae seen "The Big Ticket" swinging his elbows like there's no tomorrow. Such incidents can cause real injuries(Chris Bosh, anyone?). Being a Bucks fan, I lived through the horror of watching Bogut being injured by Amare; however, after cooler heads prevailed, it was reported that Andrew himself lost his balance on his own. My point is, it takes a man to admit when he is wrong, regardless of the outcome, and name calling doesn't help.
Karl, I have a hunch that if the C's win game 2 everyone will say the KG suspension ended up being a good thing, but if they lose game 2... not so much. lol.
Yeah no idea why Lakers fans go to a Celtics site. Maybe its jealousy. ;)
I can't keep these anonymous's straight?? It is getting confusing.
Agreed Anonymous. Not sure why its so hard to click on name and type one's name.
Almost 30 comments! Haven't had this many since the Dick Stockton article lol!
TB, you should give a link to the Stockton article. Ican't check it out b/c the picture gives me nightmares, but others might want to.
i was at the game Qrich started it garnett went to help up his teammate like ur suppose to do and i cant wait for game 2 so we can beat them witout garnett since they think they have a chance now lol
Wow, some people still want to think Kobe's still a rapist...even though nothing was or ever will be proven. The accuser should be lucky she got an out-of-court settlement
It'll be another 20 years until the Celtics win another title.
"No means no" Laker fan. Yet you insist on posting on a Celtics site after you're told you're not welcome. Hmm? Very Kobe-like. Hahaha.
Yeah get real Lakers fans, you're not wanted here at all. I was discussing how I've never once visited a Lakers blog because I know I'm not welcome.
Go away.

Gay Md. Man Calls Christmas Eve Attack a Hate Crime
A gay man from Baltimore, Md., who was allegedly beaten outside of a liquor store near his home on Christmas Eve, says the assault is a hate crime, the Baltimore Sun reports.
"I was just beaten in my face. Nothing was taken. No words were exchanged before the incident," Kenni Shaw, a 30-year-old hairstylist and cosmetologist, said. "So to me, I think it was a hate crime."
He told the newspaper that the way he looks and his career choices have made him an easy target in his neighborhood and it has created tension among other men in the area. He added he often hears men he doesn't know, but recognize, mumble anti-gay rhetoric, like "faggots living on the block."
After celebrating Christmas Eve with his family, Shaw stopped by a liquor store near his home around 9 p.m. He said he saw five men leaving the store but didn't pay much attention to them. On the way home, however, he claims he was punched from behind and for several minutes endured a barrage of punches from different attackers.
"I was pinned down by punches," Shaw said. "It was so hard that I felt my lip and side face swell up immediately. I was trying to talk to these guys, but they weren't letting me talk."
He said he was conscious during the entire assault and could feel each punch. Finally, someone came out of the store and the attackers ran away. He got himself together and made it to his home to call his mother. Shaw believes the five men he saw exiting the store were his attackers.
"I can't even describe that moment for me. I thought my world was ending," Sheila Shaw, the alleged victim's mother told the Sun. "No parent wants to get that phone call. The tone of his voice, I thought, 'He's strong enough to make the phone call, but I'm probably going to lose my son.'"
Police arrived shortly after the attack and Shaw was taken to the hospital. His face was extremely swollen and his knees and elbows were scraped but doctors said he did not have any fractures.
According to Detective Jeremy Silbert, a Baltimore police spokesman, the authorities are currently investigating the incident and said the have "some good leads in the case" but cannot say if the assault was a hate crime.
Shaw, however, is certain that he was beaten because of his sexual orientation.
"It makes me angry and upset, but at the same time, I am here and I made it through," Shaw said. "I just want to stand and make sure I have a voice, so this doesn't happen again to a loved one or anyone." He added, "somebody needs to take a stand" and that "hate crimes happen every day." His mother agreed and said that she will support her son "100 percent."
The hairstylist said he is overwhelmed by the amount of support he has received from friends and family. After the attack, Shaw posted a photo of himself on the popular photo sharing website Instagram and says more than 200 people left comments on the image.
"I'm glad I could share my story and people could empathize with the story, because I'm getting a lot of feedback from people who have been through it or who have had family members who have been through it," he said. "I'm glad I could be a spokesman, because a lot of people don't make it through situations like this."

Revision as of 23:17, 17 March 2011
We have got many standard JavaScript controllers that can be used unchanged or extended to provide functionality that is in line with our UI design language and elements.
Please make sure that you think twice before you introduce a non-standard widget controller. Often slight deviations in the UI specification from one of the standard handlers are not intended. Restricting elements to one of the standard widgets will considerably reduce our initial development effort as well as future maintenance.
What is a widget controller?
We implement a JavaScript model-view-controller (MVC) framework on the client side. What we call a "widget controller" is the controller-part of the MVC framework, not to be confused with other re-usable client-side code snippets (e.g. templates). There is a lot of client-side view code (templates, HTML) that is not "active" on the client side and therefore not managed by a client-side controller. These re-usable code snippets are not documented here because they are generally or low complexity and their potential for re-use is sometimes restricted. You'll have to look these templates up in the code and read their file-level documentation for further information.
What we document here are very well-defined active client-side widgets that consist of a controller (JavaScript objects), view (mark-up/template) and model (configuration, options) part. They are an important element of our user interface standard. The following paragraphs will give a short description of the use cases for which each widget is usually appropriate and they'll document less obvious parts of their public interface which cannot be easily seen from the code.
You'll find much more detailed information in the class-level and method-level documentation of the corresponding JavaScript files.
Widget documentation
We implement two basic types of modals:
- simple confirmation modals ($.pkp.controllers.modal.ConfirmationModalHandler)
- AJAX-driven modals ($.pkp.controllers.modal.AjaxModalHandler)
The AJAX-driven modal exists as a wizard modal variant ($.pkp.controllers.modal.WizardModalHandler) which provides default bindings for wizard events (see Wizards below).
We typically use modals for static confirmation messages, to manage grid data, to show forms in general and wizard-type workflows where these are subordinated to some parent page.
Our modals are based on the jQueryUI dialog widget. Unfortunately jQueryUI is not easy to extend because it mixes view and controller elements. We have to go to some lengths to integrate jQueryUI into our more extensible framework. Most importantly jQueryUI places modals outside of the DOM which breaks UI encapsulation rules and means that events do not correctly bubble up to the calling context of the modal. jQueryUI also introduces mark-up dynamically on initialization of the dialog which makes customization of dialogs difficult without breaking the MVC pattern ourselves.
In order to being able to use the modal without creating too close of a coupling to other unrelated widgets, we introduced an "event bridge" that effectively forwards well-defined events to the calling context. It would badly break encapsulation if a modal would update a grid directly, for example. The modal would have to "know" about specific grids which would drastically reduce it's potential for re-use.
The event bridge resolves reduces the necessary coupling. If, for example, you open the modal from a link action in a grid then modal events can be forwarded via the event bridge to the link action and thereby bubble into the grid which makes it possible for the grid to react to events generated by the modal. If the modal updates an element of the grid, then a grid refresh event can be forwarded to the grid so that the grid "knows" it has to update itself. This is a much looser coupling of modal and grid than if the modal had to update the grid itself.
For performance reasons we cannot forward all events triggered inside the modal, though. This means that if you need an event generated inside the modal in the calling context then you have to "publish" it. While this still creates a certain amount of unwanted "upwards" coupling between the modal, it seems an acceptable compromise between performance and maintenance requirements. Coupling is kept to a minimum so that in practice we can maintain very broad re-usability of our modal widget. You'll have to remember, though, to publish your events if you want them to be forwarded. Please have a look at the ModalHandler object's constructor for examples (page redirection, grid refresh, ...) how to do that.
The standard form handler ($.pkp.controllers.form.FormHandler) should be bound to all forms, either unchanged or extended by a custom form class (e.g. $.pkp.controllers.files.form.FileUploadFormHandler). It provides automatic form validation and event binding and therefore reduces the probability for validation glitches or inconsistent form user experience.
The form currently emits three public events which other widgets can subscribe to:
- formValid: This event will be generated whenever the form is checked and considered valid for submission. Forms are usually validated after every keyup or focusout event on one of the form elements.
- formInvalid: The same as the previous event for a form with invalid form values.
- formSubmitted: Emitted after the form has been successfully submitted.
- formCanceled: Emitted after the form's cancel button was activated.
Please use {include file="form/formButtons.tpl"} in your form for standard buttons.
We also have a variant of the standard FormHandler, called ClientFormHandler, that does not send form data to the server when submitted but rather keeps them on the client for other widgets to use. The ClientFormHandler will emit the same events as the FormHandler with the small difference that when the form is submitted, the form data will be sent along with the formSubmitted event as event data rather than submitting the form to the server. The ClientFormHandler is in the same namespace/package as the FormHandler.
The tab handler ($.pkp.controllers.TabHandler) implements a tabbed interface, i.e. in the case of the Information Center, the three tabs "Notes", "Notify", and "History".
The default implementation of the handler tracks the current tab (getCurrentTab) and current tab index (getCurrentTabIndex). It also provides default hooks for several tab events that can be used by subclasses.
The standard wizard handler ($.pkp.controllers.WizardHandler) provides a framework to implement wizards with a consistent user experience throughout the application. The wizard handler also deals with the details of wizard navigation.
The wizard handler emits events that other widgets within the wizard or outside of the wizard can subscribe to for their own purposes:
- wizardAdvance: Triggered when the wizard advances to the next step.
- wizardClose: Triggered when wizard advance is requested and the last step was reached.
- wizardCancel: Triggered when the wizard's "cancel" button is clicked. The default implementation triggers a wizardClose event (see above).
The wizard also lets you do validation prior to canceling or advancing. If you want to do so then subscribe to the following events:
- wizardAdvanceRequested: Triggered when the continue button is clicked.
- wizardCancelRequested: Triggered when the cancel button is clicked.
If you call event.preventDefault() on one of these events, the original action (wizard advance or wizard cancellation) will not be executed.
The default implementation of the wizard does not do any validation checks. It provides default event handlers that automatically advance the wizard to the next step when the user clicks the "continue" button and closes the wizard after the last step.
Page Handler
The page handler is bound to the main content element of the page, typically a div with the class pkp_structure_main_contentPanel. The handler represents the content of the page that changes as users navigate the site (as opposed to the header and sidebars which typically stay static as you navigate the site).
This handler currently listens to only one event:
- redirectRequested: Redirects the user to the URL specified as the first parameter.
This provides a multi-file uploader that can be used inside forms. It wraps the jQuery plupload plug-in. For more documentation about events and methods to extend or use that class please read the documentation there.
You can find an example of the uploader in the file upload wizard used in most of our file grids (e.g. during the submission process).
The grid handler manages the client-side of our default grid implementation (see GridHandler.inc.php for the server side implementation). The grid handler's most prominent function is to refresh the grid upon request from the client-side (e.g. after an element of the grid has been added, edited or deleted on the server side) via AJAX without having to reload the whole page.
The grid subscribes to an "elementsChanged" event which is usually generated on the server side via the JSON::setEvent() method upon addition, editing or deletion of rows and then triggered on the client side. If the grid catches such an event it will update a single grid row or the whole grid depending on the event data. Please see the method documentation of the GridHandler::elementsChanged() method for more information and search for this method in server side code to see examples how it is being used. Events sent via JSON::setEvent() will be triggered automatically when received on the client side (see Handler::handleJson() in Handler.js).
Link actions
Link actions are active buttons that trigger some dynamic action on the client side (e.g. follow a dynamically changing link, open up a form or wizard modal, open up a confirmation dialog, etc.). Link actions are most often used in grids as grid actions, row actions or cell actions. You'll find many examples of such actions and how they are configured on the server side in our different grid implementations. Watch out for "new LinkAction(...)" code snippets there.
Link actions themselves are not specialized. They need to be configured with a "link action request" that tells the link action what to do when it is being clicked or otherwise activated. Link actions are usually configured on the server side rather than on the client side. Please look for PHP classes extending the LinkActionRequest PHP class for all link action types currently available. If you search for "new SomeLinkActionRequest(...)" in the code you'll find examples of their use.
While the day-to-day use of link actions is very simple, it's back-end implementation is relatively abstract and complex. This was necessary so that we can accommodate a broad reach of different grid action types without having to create specialized grid implementations depending on different grid actions which would cause us a lot of extra effort in our day-to-day development work. We therefore chose to err on the complexity of the back-end code rather than increasing the amount of work to use link actions.
The downside of this flexibility is that you have to understand quite a bit of abstract code to introduce new link actions if you cannot use one of the existing action types. The easiest way to do so is to configure some PHP debugger on the server side and use FireBug on the client side to step through the code.
Link actions emit two events which you can use, e.g. to trigger a throbber while the link action is active:
- actionStart
- actionStop

DURHAM, N.C.—Syracuse University scored a pair of goals 14 minutes apart in the second half to upend Duke 2-1 in the inaugural ACC men's soccer match between the two schools. Brody Huitema netted the lone goal for the Blue Devils.
The ACC win was the first for the Orange in its program history as it improves to 5-2-0 and 1-2-0 in ACC play, while Duke falls to 3-2-2 overall and 0-2-1 in league action.
"Again we were up 1-0 so that crucial second goal has been missing from our play," said head coach John Kerr. "If we let teams hang around long enough they're going to punish us. It happened again tonight. It's disappointing because we played well for a lot of the game. Fair play to Syracuse…they really got after it tonight. They worked us and were very good on set pieces."
With both teams feeling each other out and trying to build a rhythm, scoring chances were hard to come by in the opening 10 minutes. Syracuse generated the first opportunity as a header from Chris Makowski off of a corner kick was cleared off the line. Blue Devils midfielder Zach Mathers registered the first shot on goal, forcing Syracuse goalkeeper Alex Bono to make the stop on the low driven shot.
Duke goalkeeper Alex Long came up with a big save in the 31st minute, while a shot from Huitema was denied by Bono six minutes later on a Blue Devil counter attack. Makowski, on the Orange's seventh corner kick of the first half, nearly got made it a 1-0 game in the 42nd minute as his header again was stopped at the goal line by a Duke defender.
Overall, Syracuse led Duke 8-3 in shots and 7-3 in corner kicks on the first half.
Despite only registering three shots in the opening 45 minutes, the Blue Devils possessed the ball well and created quality chances in the offensive third. With those chances in the back of their minds, Duke broke through for the go-ahead goal just 15 seconds into the second half.
Luis Rendon got open on the left side and found Huitema at the top of the 18-yard box. So close to scoring throughout the first half, Huitema struck the ball perfectly and blasted it past Bono for his third goal in two games.
"He's a threat," Kerr said. "He'd been a threat in the first five games as well, he just didn't get on the score sheet. He was unlucky not to get another one tonight. It's going to come for him if he continues working hard and getting into the right spots, but we need to do a better job of executing in the final third."
Fifteen minutes later, Syracuse's Emil Ekblom collected a deflected pass inside the penalty area and slid a shot past the near post to even the score. The Orange went ahead 2-1 15 minutes later on a Chris Nanco score from the left side.
Duke battled hard in the final 15 minutes, but could not come up with an equalizer. The Orange finished with a 16-9 edge in shots for the game and an 8-5 advantage in corner kicks.
The Blue Devils stay at home for their next contest, hosting Wright State Sep. 24 at 7 p.m.

Pratt High School enjoyed one of the best overall calendar years in school sports history in 2012.
Pratt High School enjoyed one of the best overall calendar years in school sports history in 2012.
The girls cross-country team were regional champs and took 11th at state.
Senior Kaylah Romine earned several gold medals at regular season races. She won a silver at league, the gold medal at regional and then took the 7th place medal at state to cap off an outstanding season and career.
The boys team was young, featuring no seniors and very few returners with much varsity experience. They had their moments of glory as well, however. In the campaign's inaugural event, the boys captured first place in the boys division of the Josh Emerson Invite to complete the sweep that the girls team had started.
The best season in recent history was turned in by the PHS girls tennis team last fall. The team claimed victory in 3 meets— Lyons, Pratt and Sterling— and took 2nd in the tough CKL.
Individually, soph. Jade Hoover had a banner year at #2 singles, going undefeated for much of the season and ending up with a 27-2 record. Jrs. Dani Williams and Lauren McClain were PHS' #1 doubles team. They made it through the brutal regional and wound up with 10th place medals at state.
The football team went 4-5 this season, failing to make the playoffs. However, the team did boast 9 all-league selections and Skylar Dean was named 4A honorable mention QB and DB.
Both the boys and girls golf teams underwent rebuilding seasons, with underclassmen manning most of the roster spots. Both teams showed improvement. One highlight was junior transfer Morgan Schmidt qualifying for the state tourney where she placed 40th.
The PHS spikers continued to build a tradition, having gone 124-28 over the past 4 seasons. 2012 was no exception as they put together a 26-10 regular season, good for a #2 seed in substate. Once again the Greenbacks were substate runners-up, this time the heartbreaking loss in the finals to Buhler was a nail-biter that could have gone either way. They ended the year 28-11, substate runners-up, and eager for next season!
Jenson Maydew, Andi Gripe amd Jaci Kolm garnered individual post-season honors for the Greenbacks.

Luther College saw its 2012-13 season come to a close tonight after dropping a 62-57 decision to Wartburg College in the Iowa Conference Tournament Semifinals at the Regents Center.
Trailing 34-25 at halftime, the Norse put together a 9-0 run during the first five minutes of the second frame to level the score at 34-34. The Knights answered the Norse run with one of their own and held a 49-40 lead with nine minutes left in the game. Luther made one more run and tied the game at 53-53 with 4:13 left in the game. The tie was the fourth and final of the contest as Wartburg outscored the Norse 9-4 down the stretch to secure the victory.
Wartburg shot 49 percent that included an 8-for-13 performance from behind the three-point line. The Norse finished the game shooting 42 percent but were 4-for-20 from behind the arch.
Tyler Wedemeier completed his career with an 11 point, nine rebound, three block performance. Cale Austin was the only other Norse to tally double digits with 10 off the bench. John Androus chipped in nine and Zach Matos had eight.
Eddie Diemer led all scorers with 16 points. Brandon Flenor had 14 points and Mitchell Murphy had 11.
The loss gives Luther an overall record of 18-8. Wartburg improved to 15-11 and advanced to the championship game Sunday, Feb. 24. The Knights will travel to University of Dubuque who defeated Buena Vista University 64-61 tonight in Storm Lake. The winner of Sunday's championship tilt will earn the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Division III National Tournament.

What: Innovations in Sustainable Transportation Conference
When: Thursday and Friday
Where: Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel, 500 Flatiron Blvd, Broomfield
Info: For times, cost and more information about the conference, visit theasterfoundation.org
Tired of the 2 1/2-hour drive to Pueblo from Boulder? Skip the Interstate 25 logjam and cut your travel time significantly by slipping into an ET3 passenger capsule and riding frictionless magnetic levitation through a tube to your destination.
Want to look down on those stuck in traffic below? Instead of peering out the window of a clattering, fuel-burning helicopter, make your high and mighty perch a quiet, gliding gondola.
These are some of the cutting-edge, futuristic ideas for getting from Point A to Point B -- and everywhere in between -- that are up for discussion at the Innovations in Sustainable Transportation Conference taking place in Broomfield on Thursday and Friday. The conference is sponsored by The Aster Foundation, a Boulder-based organization focused on encouraging sustainable transit solutions.
"The transportation system we have now is barely working -- and as the fossil fuels get more expensive, they're going to work less well," said Zev Paiss, executive director of The Aster Foundation. "We're going to be asking how we provide an infrastructure to allow these technologies to be implemented?"
Aside from gondola and tube travel, the conference will touch on elevated transport systems and the e-bike revolution. A panel of speakers, including the heads of companies working on the development of these alternative transportation technologies, will be on hand to lead discussions and share the latest research in the field.
One of those speakers is Daryl Oster, the founder of Longmont-based ET3, which stands for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies. Oster said the ideas that will be discussed this week in Broomfield aren't necessarily pie-in-the-sky concepts. The technology Oster is working on has actually been around -- albeit as separate components -- for decades. Pipelines, vacuum pumps and high-energy permanent magnets are nothing new, but they've never quite been put together the way ET3 is envisioning.
"What we are doing with ET3 is creating space travel conditions on Earth by using off-the-shelf industrial materials, intellectual property and industrial capacities," Oster said.
And the benefits, he said, are immense. With car sized passenger capsules -- each carrying six passengers -- initially powered by electricity and gliding through a vacuum via magnetic levitation at hundreds of miles per hour, ET3 will have obvious speed advantages over road travel and environmental benefits over air travel. As the technology improves, Oster said, so will the speeds.
The hope is that at 4,000 mph, with a network of tubes spanning the globe, ET3 will be able to get a passenger from New York to Beijing in two hours. The company claims that its system can provide 50 times more transportation per kilowatt hour than electric cars or trains and can be built for 1/10th the cost of high-speed rail, or one fourth the cost of a freeway.
The company initially will focus on connecting cities 200 miles to 600 miles apart with the system moving at 300 mph to 400 mph, a market Oster describes as a "sweet spot" for ET3.
"It's too far to drive but not far enough to fly," he said.
Tube travel got some attention this summer when Elon Musk, head of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, announced his intention to build the Hyperloop, which shares concepts with ET3. Musk boasted that the solar-powered, elevated transit system would be able to transport passengers and cars from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.
"This is extremely achievable," Oster said.
Former Boulder County Commissioner Will Toor, who now works as the transportation policy director for the Boulder-based Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, will be one of the speakers at the conference Thursday night. He said two recent studies, from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the National Academy of Sciences, conclude that people will need to pull every trick in the book in terms of energy efficiency, clean fuels and renewable electric generation to meet the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.
"We need to have a much more entrepreneurial and innovative approach to transportation if we want to have success at making transportation sustainable on a large scale," Toor said. "It's important to be exploring a broader universe of alternatives than we have in the past."
Paiss said that although e-bikes have taken off worldwide and excellent examples of gondola travel have begun to sprout around the world, particularly in hilly, congested cities in South America and Europe, it may take some time before they gain widespread acceptance in the United States.
Steven Dale, founding president of Canada's Creative Urban Projects Inc. and a leading authority on gondola travel, is one of the featured speakers at the conference.
"This is a process that is going to take time," Paiss said.

Most East Coast passenger and freight rail service returning to normalWritten by Mischa Wanek-Libman, editor
Outside of the New York Metropolitan area, passenger and freight rail service is returning to normal operation with residual delays.
Service has been restored on Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority systems.
The Maryland Transit Administration restored service to its subway system on Tuesday, Oct. 30 and light rail crews are reinstalling the at-grade crossing gate arms that were removed due to the high winds in order for light rail and MARC trains to return to service on Oct. 31.
Amtrak will provide modified Northeast Regional service between Newark, N.J., and points south, on Wednesday, October 31, including restoring Virginia service to Lynchburg, Richmond and Newport News. Amtrak will also operate Keystone Service trains between Harrisburg, Pa., and Philadelphia and modified Downeaster service trains between Boston and Portland, Maine.
Amtrak is working to remove water and make repairs to track, signal and power systems within its tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers. Until this is complete, service to/from New York Penn Station, Northeast Regional service between Newark and Boston and Acela Express service remains suspended.
The amount of water intrusion into the tunnels is unprecedented – as was the storm itself – so a date for restoration of Amtrak service directly to/from New York Penn Station from either the north or south is not available at this time.
Also canceled on Wednesday, October 31, is the Empire Service between New York City and Buffalo/Niagara Falls, the Adirondack to and from Montreal, Québec, Canada, and the Ethan Allen Express to and from Rutland, Vt., due to track damage south of Albany-Rensselaer, N.Y.
Freight rail providers are resuming where service is deemed safe and where customers are available for delivery. Norfolk Southern service is being reintroduced into lightly impacted areas today and tomorrow, while heavily impacted areas could experience start up delays extending through the end of the week.
CSX has completed inspections of its tracks and is restoring service in the region impacted by Sandy with the exception of lines between Philadelphia and Albany, N.Y. Portions of those lines remain affected by high water, downed trees and commercial power outages.
CSX crews will continue recovery efforts between Philadelphia and Albany as service slowly resumes in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions.

quote:Originally posted by Beans15Here is the difference between Roloson and Fernandez. Roloson accomplished those stats in front of a inferiour defensive team in Edmonton compared to the teams Fernandez played for in Minny and Boston. Also, when they were both in Minny, they split the time. Actually, in each season until Roloson left where both goalies were in Minny, Roli played in more games. And frankly, having watche Roloson play this past season, he was nothing short of brilliant, by far the best Oiler on the ice most every night, and basically the only reason the Oilers could even smell the playoffs. The only way Roloson is not back in net for the Oilers next year is if he is unreasonable with his contract. I would be heavily disappointed and have serious questions about Tambollini's abilities if he took Fernandez over Roloson.
quote:Originally posted by Beans15The press conference is right now. I am listening to it as we speak. It sounds like this is accurate. Quinn and (Associate Coach) Renney with Buchburger as the other assistant. That means Billy Moores and Charlie Huddy are out. I really am not sure about this. Honestly, I think this is a little like putting lipstick on a pig. Not sure if this is the answer. I still think that without at least 1 top 6 forward and shoring up the goaltending, the Oilers will be a 7th to 9th place team again. On the flip side, this is a pretty impressive chess move in the Northwest. With the Oilers taking 2 of, if not the 2 top guys off the head coaching list, it will be interesting what Calgary, Colorado, and specifically Minnesota will do behind their bench. Wait and see. I am not happy or unhappy about this as an Oilers fan.

There is a global water and sanitation crisis. It is responsible for more child deaths in Sub Saharan Africa than anything else. To put it in perspective, lack of safe water and sanitation kills more children than Aids/HIV, malaria and measles combined.
WaterAid has launched the Water Works campaign to urge governments across the world to do more. Water and sanitation are the most basic services that we need to survive, yet billions of people are living without. They are also one of the best investments we can make to help people out of poverty, as for every $1 invested, there is a return of $8 in increased productivity. Without safe water or somewhere to go to the toilet, health, education and livelihoods are massively undermined.
Help us get these messages to world leaders and show them that Water Works. We are certain that if we get enough public support, then we can get the people who make the plans, do the work and sign the cheques all in the same room, and really start to make progress. This would be a huge step forward. So do your bit – please watch the film, then go to www.waterworks.me, sign up and pass it on!
Thank you.

YREKA – One of the two men suspected of breaking into the courthouse during the early morning hours of Feb. 1, 2012 and making off with $1,257,500 in gold was arraigned Wednesday in the Siskiyou County Superior Court.
David Dean Johnson, 49, of El Cerrito, Calif., pleaded not guilty to his single felony count of second degree commercial burglary and he denied the two enhancements pertaining to the value of the stolen items.
Johnson has been held in the Siskiyou County Jail on $1 million bail since he turned himself in on Monday night following the issuance of a warrant for his arrest.
At his arraignment, Johnson was accompanied by his defense attorney Howard Williams of the Sacramento law firm Lieber Williams & Labin.
Williams told the court the statutory bail amount for Johnson's charge is $15,000 and he asked that the court lower his client's bail.
"Mr. Johnson is not a flight risk," stated Williams. "He turned himself in because he wanted to comply with the law. Mr. Johnson does not intend to flee from justice."
Siskiyou County Deputy District Attorney Martha Aker who is prosecuting this case told the court that due to the value of the items stolen from the courthouse, The People believe Johnson has the means to flee.
"Due to the seriousness of the charges and value of the theft we consider him to be a high flight risk. We ask that the bail remain at $1 million," she said.
"At this point the court is concerned about the risk of flight," responded Superior Court Judge Karen Dixon. She ruled that Johnson's bail will remain at $1 million.
Dixon set Johnson's preliminary hearing for April 12. Aker said she estimates the hearing will take three hours. At that time, the judge will hear testimony from investigators and determine whether there is enough evidence to hold Johnson to answer to the charge. Preliminary hearings are open to the public.
Williams said if his client is found guilty of the charge, he faces a maximum sentence of six years in prison. He explained that under the state prison realignment plan, his client is prison-eligible due to the two enhancements.
Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey stated that DNA evidence was collected at the crime scene at the time of the investigation and Johnson's DNA has been collected for testing to determine if it matches.
He said the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) is working with the California Department of Justice crime laboratory in Redding, and he anticipates it will take less than two weeks for the results to be confirmed. He declined to disclose the nature of the DNA evidence found at the crime scene, and the SCSO's method of collecting Johnson's DNA.
The SCSO issued arrest warrants for Johnson and his alleged co-conspirator Scott Wayne Baily, 51, of El Sobrante, Calif., on March 29.
Baily is still at large, although Lopey said, "We have had recent sightings and we are working on tracking him down."
Lopey stated that Baily and Johnson became persons of interest following a series of new investigative leads after the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted to raise the reward for the arrest and prosecution of the gold thieves from $15,000 to $50,000.
In January, the SCSO issued two search warrants in Contra Costa County and two in Shasta County.
According to Lopey, a search of Johnson and Baily's property allegedly revealed that some of the gold proceeds have been used to purchase various high-value items. However, Lopey confirmed that officials did not locate any of the stolen gold or any other courthouse items.
Lopey stated that officials have long suspected that the two men who broke into the courthouse did not act alone.
"We think that there are people in the local area who may have assisted these individuals and we urge anyone who has information about this incident to contact the SCSO at 841-2911," Lopey stated.
Authorities believe an open window was the entrance route of the two courthouse gold burglars. The surveillance video showed the two masked men, with socks covering their hands, attempting to pry open the bulletproof gold display case in the courthouse foyer with a crowbar.
The burglars turned out the lights, and the next morning, courthouse employees arrived at work to discover a fist-size hole in the glass on the display case. The thieves made off with the large gold nuggets and left the small pieces.
The gold case was secured with a silent alarm which failed to activate during the burglary. Alarm company representatives subsequently examined the system and determined the cause of the failure, although for security reasons, county officials declined to disclose the reason for its malfunction.
The gold collection was the only one of its kind, and was insured by the county. The county has received reimbursement from its insurance carrier.
