|The NCAA
I totally agree with you on all points. I really don't think the NCAA has the ability to actually enforce the proper handling of players by the agents. Outside governing bodies ie. Congress need to have a more active role in making sure that players are treated fairly and that the system remains pure. If Congress enacts real laws, people will be less likely to break them.

I noticed that a lot of players who went to Nike's the Opening happened to be committed to a team that was sponsored by Nike.

|This is quite the overeaction
Yeah its stupid but its not like they were planning on fire bombing the diag or something, they were just being dumb. People make mistakes, just say don't do that again.

The only knock I have towards Dumars was the firing of Frank. They pretty much drained the roster of any serious, playoff talent off the bench setting up for tons of cap space this year and then fired the coach. Frank was working with a team that needed Charlie V kin the roster, a guy who got beat out by a <19 year old for the Dominican Olympic team.

|That's a good move for Payne
Thanks for the insight. I was thinking that they might try and go with a small ball line up with Payne at the 5 at times.

|I'm not buying MSU making big improvements this year
From what I've heard, they were planning on moving Payne to the 5. That would nulify the major improvement he's shown by being able to step out and hit long jumpers.
If he continues to play at the 4, Costello or Gauna come in to the 5 which still leaves a major hole with Nix departing.
I think the only way MSU gets over what they did last year is if the recruits they have coming in can make an impact.

I could definitely see Poggi coming in and playing as an end on the third down package Mattison likes to run and then after a few years and some extra weight sliding over and taking Black's place in the package at DT.
|01/04/2013 - 2:34pm
I know LTT is projected to left tackle but with his size, I could see him starting out at RT where he won't be forced to pass block as often.
|01/02/2013 - 1:14pm
|I think Michigan deserves the number one spot in conference
At least as of now. They have decent wins over Pitt and K-State and managed to play a respectable full of teams, save Binghampton, who were above the Ken Pom 300. Yeah Indiana beat a good Georgetown team and an extremely overated UNC team, but they did lose to Butler... I'm not saying Butler is a bad team but IU did lose that game while Michigan is undefeated.

|I think if it came down to it
I think if it came down to it it'd be really smart for GRIII to stay. Assuming Hardaway and Burke leave, GRIII gets to really showcase his skills in the offense, instead of just hitting corner threes and racking up rebounds.
|12/20/2012 - 10:53pm
|What about Stauskas?
I haven't heard too much about him, but I think he could definitely have some draft potential with his length and his shooting. Yeah his D isn't great but its also the NBA.
|12/20/2012 - 10:48pm
|I agree with you there. He
I agree with you there. He also needs to be a little less reckless when attacking the basket. The last couple of games its seemed like he has been stuck in an inbetween spot where he ends up forcing the ball into the post on a drive. That being said he had some sick three balls tonight! Its like he doesn't even see the defender thats bearing down on him...
|12/20/2012 - 4:50pm
|You make some good points but
You make some good points but I think he'll be fine going into the big ten season just because he's not really going to be expected to be a lock down defender (which has rapidly improved since the beginning of the year and if he continues to convert contested threes he'll be in really good shape. He's also shooting pretty well from the line. I think he's going to be more of a taller, more athletic version of Diebler this year and then should grow into more of a complete player in the coming years.

|I think the achievements of
I think the achievements of Spike have been really underated due to the success of the other freshmen. Point guard is the hardest position for a freshman to play and the fact that there isn't a HUGE dropoff when our all-american pg is amazing! Granted we've only seen him in stretches of about 4 minutes or less with just him at the point, at least he is getting some time in as a two guard (a little bit of a 1.5 guard) with Burke is great for the future.

I'm really not impressed with MSU at all. Thus far I think Minnesota has been much better team. MSU might have more talent but they have struggled offensively. At this point I'm buying in to Minnesota over State...

Speaker shares horror of road carnage
He asked them: Why would you put yourself, your friends and your relatives in danger by driving carelessly? Why would you risk hurting someone and opening up your parents to a lawsuit that could bankrupt them?
It's really, really easy to drive badly, he said, so why would you celebrate someone who shows off by speeding or otherwise screwing around at the wheel?
Students — including eighth-graders who walked over from Patton Middle School — paid close attention to Presnell, partly because he's young, cute and funny, but primarily because they were riveted by his first-hand experience with bad driving.
When he was 14, he hopped into a car driven by a friend a few years older. Their joy ride ended abruptly with the car wrapped around a utility pole and Presnell critically injured.
He suffered a traumatic brain injury that still affects his memory, along with shattered bones that had to be replaced with parts made of a titanium alloy and other injuries. The damage left him with a collective 17 feet of scars.
Fourteen years, 22 surgeries and a whole lot of pain later, Presnell regularly tells his story — he has to tell it regularly, he jokes, because otherwise he'd forget it — in an effort to warn others against suffering the same fate.
He calls his presentation, and his recent memoir, "Respect the Journey."
We spend more time thinking about the future, and what we want out of it, than what we're doing now, he said.
"We can't wait to get out of school; we can't wait for that weekend party," he said. "We can't wait to get our driver license; we don't want to (take the time to) learn to drive safely."
Presnell urged students to focus on the present, appreciating their friends and the things they have. "Life is so beautiful when you respect it all," he said.
Being respectful will show in your driving, he said. You won't need to show off or cut people off or prove that the road belongs to you.
Presnell, who walks with a visible limp and finds it difficult to stand in one spot for long, described the crash that left him permanently injured this way:
"Car out of control ... life flashing before your eyes ... just screaming ... metal bends, glass shatters ... screaming ... then silence, except for the engine trying to run ... try to move ... can't ... try to breathe ... crying ... sirens ...."
Teens often think it can't happen to them, he said, which can be dangerous. It can lead them to take risks or let their attention lapse.
"It's real," he said. "You need to be afraid of it. This can happen to anyone, anytime.
"Don't take life for granted," he said, like he did.
Today, Presnell said, he takes nothing for granted. And he's happy, despite his physical problems and brain injury, because he looks at the positives instead of the negatives.
"My right leg is paralyzed," he said. "But hey, my left leg isn't!"
He said he loves people. That's why he tries to help them by speaking out.
He encourages them to start by showing love and respect for themselves. If you respect yourself, you won't need someone else's approval so much that you'll get in the car with an unsafe driver.
If you respect others, you won't do things that can hurt them, like driving unsafely. And you'll reach out to people — real people, not just to friends you collect online.
Presnell said, "Every one of us has a story. We need to get to know each other."
AAA of Oregon and Idaho sponsored Presnell's visit as part of the organization's "AAA Tyler World Tour."

About "Spacebar" by Montro
Design by Montro
For this particular comp I decided to go for a simple idea using a well known iconic character merged with another iconic, universal symbol like the keyboard. Hope you like it!
lol clever!
great idea!!!!!
Wow, this is a print! Already looks like a classic to me, great choice for the challenge.
That's pretty great.
awesome work
really, really good sir!
great idea :) 5
5$ love it.
hahahaha - great!
awesome $5
hahahaha awesome !!! 5$
HAHA this rules
This design could so easily have been over-complicated, but you executed it perfectly. It's a pun, but it's a Premier League pun - playing on both words. 5$
Hahahaha, hilarious tee!
a bit of keyboard perspective would have been better. Great joke :) 5$
igo2cairo on Oct 12 '10 Wow, this is a print! Already looks like a classic to me, great choice for the challenge.

hahaha, wonderful!
The fact that this is probably the third design submitted to the challenge makes me think that you've been sitting on this idea for months—maybe years—quietly thinking to yourself, "Someday, perhaps years from now, all Threadless designers will be called upon to design a truly iconic tee. And when that day comes, I, Montro, WILL BE READY!"
bloody brilliant!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! awesomeeeeeeeeeee
hahaha! genius!
This is absolutely brilliant! Love it, want it, need it!

Oh. I see what you did here.

fatheed on Oct 13 '10 This design could so easily have been over-complicated, but you executed it perfectly. It's a pun, but it's a Premier League pun - playing on both words. 5$
Totally agreed. By leaving the keys blank, this is a universal tee. No pun intended. :D

Thank you all for the great input!!!
Oh my gosh great idea man! and awesome designing! 5$

Very nice. Not something I personally would wear, but my brother probably would! Which would make a great gift option.
COOL design~
This rocks! Maybe add a bartender too :]
Congrats! You did it!
An amazing take on a familiar object. Taking the normal and making it special. Need something iconic? I found one.
haha cool!
Montro, shame on you for spamming your link! It's good of you to leave critiques about the place, but I know your game (and the secret to all these comment too) ;P
i keep coming back to see this. Amazing.
(Y)! print this already!
I hope you win
also lol at staffell commenting about something other than the design again, jealously is not a good trait
Haha, great one Montro!!
haha! nice!
This is great.
hahahahahahaha!!! nice idea!
wow took forever to get down to this comment box because theres so many comments ...but very cool idea i like it :)
Worth no less than $5!
another great sub from you montro! must 5$! :)
Classic Montro
I'm very thankful for all the love!
first of all, how did you get so many people to commit on this? 2nd, It seems that everyone loves it so, don't listen to my critique. It looks weird that the astronaut is not on the other side of the bar, because he is squeezed between the keys. I guess he's sitting on the keys, but those keys are on the same plane as the space bar. Maybe try a shadow on the other keys cast by his body. Also, this is freak'n brilliant. He's not planning to fly now after all them drinks is he?
Congratulations man. You did a really nice work there
Excellent work, sir! 5
Genius !
hahaha awesome!!5
Love the concept, and it's a great execution, but I would suggest giving a little bit of perspective to the keyboard, the way it looks right now from a distance is a big slab of white, so maybe that would help on a aestethic level :)
brilliant cooltastic
this should be printed. like now.
Radiculous! 5$
brilliant idea and done perfectly. print
I $5'd this a while ago, but I should probably tell you that.
That's pretty great, I do wish the key he is sitting on would look like it's pushed down.
Thank you everyone for the feedback and suggestions! Last day!
You're a rock star.
Totaly sweet!
Monsterscore incoming!
Congrats on the print. Very clever and fun.

Phone: 336-641-7556
Courthouse Burned 1872
Many older records still avialble
Register of Deeds has birth and death records from 1913[1]
Parent County
1770--Guilford County was created 5 December 1770 from Orange and Rowan Counties, but it did not start administration of its territory until 1 April 1771, so no Guilford records exist before that date.
County seat: Greensboro [2]
Boundary Changes
The law creating Guilford County was passed in 1770, and the county started administration of its territory on April 1, 1771. Any land records prior to that time will be in the records of other counties. Approximately, the western two-thirds of the county came from Rowan County, and the eastern one-third came from Orange County. Rowan was created in 1753 from Anson County, and Orange was created in 1752 from parts of Johnston, Bladen, and Granville counties.
"Old Guilford County" was three times larger than present-day Guilford County, since Randolph County was created from the southern third of Guilford in 1779, and Rockingham County was created from the northern third of Old Guilford in 1785.
Record Loss
1872--Courthouse fire resulted in some loss of records.

In the tradition of triple date tattoos 6/6/06, 7/7/07 etc… 11/11/11 is the Holy Grail, it's all ones! We won't get this opportunity again for a hundred years…
Tour tattoos with the band Lucero are a very common thing, so when we knew we would be on the road for November 11th I looked at the routing and saw we were going to be in Tallahassee Florida, home of Craig Beasley, owner of Monument Tattoo.
Craig is a smokin' tattooer with a very bold and illustrative style. He is also a consummate road dog, traveling and tattooing bands on tour in and out of shitty backstages, hotel rooms and tour busses… so it was completely appropriate!
I called up Craig and he was fully down for the all-day party of non-stop triple 11s. We pretty unanimously came up with the Spinal Tap based, "This one goes to eleven" idea. If you're not privy to that movie's slang, go see it!
Thanks to all of the Monument crew and Craig for a great hang and sweet tour tats… see you down the road!

Blackfoot earns first win over Bonneville in four years 7-6
BLACKFOOT — With the district tournament less than a week away, every single time the Blackfoot Broncos take the field the game is important as entering Tuesday the Broncos were still fighting for the top seed.
Throw in the fact that the defending state champion Bonneville Bees were in town and the importance of the game increased ten fold.
In the dugout prior to the game the theme from the team was "Be big" as each player echoed that sentiment to each other.
And for the first time in four years the Broncos were big enough to hand the Bees a loss.
After jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the opening inning, Blackfoot had to fend off a bases loaded, one out rally from the Bees to earn a 7-6 win to hand Bonneville their first district loss in two seasons.
"That was a big win for us," Blackfoot head coach Kenny Dahle said. "We have guaranteed ourselves a finish of no worse than second in the district, right now we are tied with Bonneville."
Blackfoot entered the seventh inning leading 7-4 after Taylor Pearson tripled home Brady Pearson and the scored on a sacrifice bunt by Russell Osborn in the bottom of the sixth to give them a little cushion, the Broncos needed just three outs to earn a huge win.
The Bees did not make it easy on the Broncos to get the win.
Boneville started the seventh inning with a walk, fielder's choice and two singles to lead the bases with one out.
Conlan Smith singled to drive in a run of of Pearson. Then Austin Udy drew a bases loaded walk to cut the Bees deficit to 7-6.
But Pearson got a strikeout and a then a game ending ground ball to send the Broncos seniors to a victory in their final home game.
But it was the Broncos first at-bat of the game where the teams set the tone for the game.
The game started walk, walk, and then Dylan Mansanarez singled to lead the bases.
After a pop out and a strikeout left the bases loaded, Zack LAter came to the plate and crushed a bases clearing double to left field to give the Broncos a 3-0 lead.
On the very next pitch Dallin Fairchild crushed the first pitch he saw over the right field fence for a two-run home run, and just like that it was 5-0 Blackfoot.
But as Bonneville has done so often this season they battled back.
The Bees picked up a run in the third and three in the fourth to get back in the game.
But Pearson and starter Andrew Hatch held the Bees to just six hits in the game.
Mansanrez and Brady Pearson each had two hits for the Broncos.
The win puts Blackfoot in a tie with the Bees for first place in District 5/6 with one game left to play.
The Broncos will go into the district tournament in no worse than second place, a win against the Bees today locks up the top spot.
Blackfoot travels to Iona today to close out the regular season against Bonneville. First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
Blackfoot 7, Bonneville 6
Bonneville 001 300 2 — 6 6 1
Blackfoot 500 002 x — 7 7 2
Bonneville — Austin Udy and Chance Reese. Blackfoot — Andrew Hatch, Taylor Pearson (6) and Tyler Lindsey. 2B — Conlan Smith (Bonn), Dylan Mansanrez (BHS), Zach Later (BHS). 3B — Taylor Pearson (BHS). HR — Dallin Fairchild (BHS).

OT hours under review
BOTKINS — After discussing employees' pay and hours for more than 60 minutes Thursday, Botkins Village Council members tabled closing a loophole in the way employees can claim work hours.
Councilors spent a large amount of time trying to come up with a solution to the way employee vacation and sick time can be used in conjunction with overtime hours that are received every three weeks. Currently, three village workers work a regular 40-hour week plus must work a mandatory two hours of overtime every third weekend.
Currently, the two hours are paid at a time-and-a-half rate, regardless if they are overtime or not. Councilors would like to keep the pay at time-and-a-half regardless if there is overtime, but it leaves a loophole where workers can use sick or vacation days during the week.
This allows them to work less than 40 hours but still get the de facto overtime on the weekends. Councilors have been clamoring for a way to still give employees the extra pay on weekends but not leave the loophole with the use of the 15 sick days employees have each week.
"The council wants people to be at work working," Botkins Village Solicitor Jesse Kent said. "In the current set-up, workers can use a sick day and be rewarded with additional time off work. They need to be at work to show value of tax dollars to the citizens."
After the long discussion, councilors again tabled the matter to give it another month to come up with an acceptable policy.
"It will come up next meeting under old business," Kent said.
Council President Craig Brown brought up a policy for the village of Anna which is potentially causing ill effects in the village of Botkins.
Due to wear and tear on the road and a number of accidents at the location, Anna officials banned right turns by semi-tractor traffic onto State Route 119 coming off County Road 25A approximately 10 years ago. However, the provision has caused for an increase of traffic in Botkins. Botkins councilors are concerned because Anna's ordinance may result in more wear and tear to Botkins village streets from the additional truckers traveling north to Botkins to make the turn. Councilors' worries are heightened because a massive road reconstruction project is underway in the village and others are planned in the near future.
"Legally they are within their bounds to do it," Kent said, "but we are concerned with the extra costs due to this diversion. It's kind of like the neighbors with the pool and the tree. Their leaves from their property are falling in your pool. What do you do?"
A letter expressing the concern was sent to Anna's council, and a response was sent to the councilors outlying the reasons they had imposed the policy.
Councilors were unable to come up with a solution and tabled the matter to search for a solution to the problem.

Utah's Dinosaurland
What's Dinosaurland?
Dinosaur National Monument is the only place in the world that provides an interactive experience with more than 1,500 dinosaur bones and fossils. Visitors can view and touch dinosaur bones in their original resting place!
You'll get to look out over the world-renowned Carnegie Dinosaur Quarry, where these one-of-a-kind fossils are located. The Quarry Exhibit Hall offers up-close views of this unique bone bed. The Quarry hosts fossils from Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Diplodicus, and many others. Park Rangers are also on hand to answer questions and provide additional dino facts.
You can also drop in on the Quarry Visitor Center, just outside of the quarry. At the visitor center you'll find an information desk surrounded by exhibits, as well as a film explaining the monument.
Thousands more fossils are scattered throughout the 200,000-acre monument, where excavation and research are ongoing.
Dinosaurs are not the only attraction that Dinosaurland has to offer. With activities like camping, hiking, biking, boating, swimming, rafting and exploring petroglyphs and museums, Dinosaurland has an adventure for everyone.
Scenic Drives Through Dinosaur National Monument
The scenery through this spectacular canyon country can't be beat. While the Utah side hosts all of the dinosaur fossils visible to the public, the Colorado side of the monument contains scenic drives that overlook Yampa River, Green River, and many breathtaking overlooks. If you enjoy scenic drives, Dinosaurland is the place for you.
Camping Opportunities
Different campgrounds are located throughout the monument, totaling more than 120 campsites. The closest to the Dinosaur Quarry is the Green River Campground, about 4 miles east.
Hiking Trails
Visitors can make their way across Dinosaurland's rugged landscape on more than a dozen scenic hiking trails. With a variety of lengths and difficulty level, trails offer an enjoyable experience for everyone. Some trails begin right at the visitor center, while other trailheads are more remote.
For experienced hikers, off-trail hiking is also permitted on Dinosaur National Monument. Hikers are expected to "Leave No Trace," bring all necessary safety gear, and know their skill limitations.
Boating and River Rafting
Several commercial guided river trips travel through the monument on both the Yampa and Green Rivers. One-day and multi-day trips are both available.
State Parks
Dinosaurland is home to three State Parks – Steinaker & Red Fleet Reservoirs and the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum.
We hope you enjoy your experiences here! Get out and play in Dinosaurland, Vernal, Utah. You'll want to stay forever…THE DINOSAURS DID!

In the hours after a Keys judge threw out Florida's ban on same-sex marriage Thursday, gay couples from all over the state inundated the Monroe County Clerk's office with calls about when they could tie the knot — and some even began making plans to fly down for a wedding.
"I was here until 8:30 last night taking calls from people flying in from Tallahassee and from others making reservations to come to Key West for marriage licenses," Ron Saunders, the attorney for the clerk's office, said Friday. "They were asking what our marriage requirements were."
But for the moment, same-sex marriages will have to wait: An appeal filed by state Attorney General Pam Bondi's office automatically stays the judge's order.
Nevertheless, Saunders said, Monroe Clerk Amy Heavilin is ready. The office has already changed its marriage-license forms.
"The current vows say 'husband and wife,' and we changed them to 'first spouse, second spouse,' " Saunders said Friday. "But with the stay, we are now in limbo."
Monroe Chief Circuit Judge Luis Garcia ruled Thursday that Florida's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage violates the U.S. Constitution and ordered the clerk's office to issue a marriage license as early as Tuesday to the plaintiffs in the case, bartenders Aaron Huntsman and William Lee Jones.
Shortly after the judge issued his order, Bondi's office's appeal to the Miami-based Third District Court of Appeal — which has jurisdiction over both counties — triggered an automatic stay.
Still celebrating a groundbreaking legal victory, the bartenders' attorney, Bernadette Restivo, said Friday that she is determining what to do next: wait until the appeals process is over or ask Garcia to lift the automatic stay. If Garcia were to lift the stay, there's no guarantee that same-sex couples could begin getting marriage licenses because the appeals court can issue its own stay pending its decision in the case.
"There's a whole process about doing that. We don't file something in court that's not our best work. There's no rush," said Restivo, who represents the men with law partner Elena Vigil-Fariñas. "It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's going to have to run its course."
If a public official — such as Florida's attorney general — loses a court case and appeals, an automatic stay kicks in, according to Florida law.
Juan Ramirez Jr., a former chief judge of the Third DCA, said an automatic stay is unusual, but in cases involving public officials it "means people can't take advantage of the favorable ruling until the Third DCA reviews it."
In 2008, Florida voters approved an amendment to the state constitution, by almost 62 percent, to prevent gay marriage. In April, Huntsman and Jones applied for a marriage license and were turned down. They then sued Heavilin.
After a hearing July 7, the judge sided with Huntsman and Jones on Thursday.
"The court is aware that the majority of voters oppose same-sex marriage, but it is our country's proud history to protect the rights of the individual, the rights of the unpopular and rights of the powerless, even at the cost of offending the majority," Garcia wrote in his decision.
The Huntsman-Jones case mirrors one in Miami-Dade County in which six same-sex couples and the LGBT advocacy group Equality Florida Institute sued County Clerk Harvey Ruvin in January for the right to marry. Those plaintiffs are still waiting for a ruling from Circuit Judge Sarah Zabel.
"We've been waiting in Miami on the marriage issue and so many other equality issues for gays and lesbians for so long, since I was a child. I've learned to grow a lot of patience," said Jorge Isaias Diaz of Miami, who is a plaintiff in the Miami-Dade case with partner Don Price Johnston. "I know at the end of the day justice will prevail. That's what I'm looking forward to. Would love to have this done and over with — lot of other more pressing issues than whether gay people can get married, not to mention the amount of taxpayer money that's been spent on this."
The other plaintiffs in the Miami-Dade case are Catherina Pareto and Karla Arguello of Coconut Grove; Dr. Juan Carlos Rodriguez and David Price of Davie; Vanessa and Melanie Alenier of Hollywood; Todd and Jeff Delmay of Hollywood; and Summer Greene and Pamela Faerber of Plantation.
Meantime, several other gay-marriage cases are making their way through state and federal courts in Florida:
Gildas Dousset, a Frenchman married in Massachusetts to a Fort Lauderdale man, is suing Florida Atlantic University for in-state tuition granted to opposite-sex spouses of Florida residents.
Mariama Shaw and Keiba Shaw, who married in Massachusetts, are suing to divorce. A Hillsborough County judge ruled against them in May, setting up an appeal of the state law that bars same-sex marriage. Florida doesn't recognize the marriage, so it won't grant a divorce.
Same-sex couples in two consolidated federal court cases are suing the state to recognize their out-of-state marriages. One of the cases was filed in March by Miami-Dade LGBT-rights group SAVE and the ACLU of Florida.
Miami Herald Staff writers Emma Court and Ayana Stewart contributed to this report.

Leonardo da Vinci—one of history's most imaginative geniuses—was certainly born at the right time and in the right place. In this lesson plan, the students will explore Leonardo da Vinci and the age in which he lived and consider the meaning of the Greek quotation, "Man is the measure of all things" and why it particularly applies to the Renaissance and to Leonardo.
By analyzing The Sources of Country Music, students will discover the musical legacy of Thomas Hart Benton's story of America and learn how the processes of modernity changed American life in the early decades of the twentieth century. By listening to country music, they will understand how advances in audio recording both captured and changed folk music.
Reading Emily Dickinson's letters alongside her poems helps students to better appreciate a remarkable voice in American literature, grasp how Dickinson perceived herself and her poetry, and—perhaps most relevant to their own endeavors—consider the ways in which a writer constructs a "supposed person."
In this lesson, students will explore Dickinson's poem "Safe in their Alabaster Chambers" both as it was published as well as how it developed through Dickinson's correspondence with her sister-in-law Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson.
In this lesson, students closely examine Dickinson's poem "There's a certain slant of light" in order to understand her craft. Students explore different components of Dickinson's poetry and then practice their own critical and poetry writing skills in an emulation exercise. Finally, in the spirit of Dickinson's correspondences, students will exchange their poems and offer informed critiques of each others' work.

Curve make it six straight against Fisher Cats, 9-2Special to The Union Leader
July 27. 2013 11:00PM
MANCHESTER - Gabe Jacobo provided one of the few highlights for the Fisher Cats on Saturday night, lofting his third homer of the season over the right field wall in the second inning. The Altoona Curve had a monopoly on the rest of the action in a 9-2 rout at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
The loss is the fifth straight for the Fisher Cats, leaving them in a third place tie with the Portland Sea Dogs in the Eastern Division.
The Curve wasted no time jumping ahead of the Fisher Cats using a two-out rally in the first inning against starter Ryan Tepera (8-7). Five straight hits plated three runs, highlighted by a Jarek Cunningham two-run single to give the Curve a 3-0 lead after a half-inning.
Jacobo pulled the Fisher Cats within two runs in the second with his home run, cutting the deficit to 3-1. But Altoona put it away from there, getting a single run back in the third and five two-out runs in the top of the fourth.
Tepera took the loss allowing nine runs (all earned) on 12 hits, both career highs. He walked three and struck out two in the defeat. The Fisher Cats bullpen tossed 5 -1/3 scoreless innings, but the offense managed only a bases-loaded walk by Ryan Schimpf the rest of the way.
The series and homestand come to an end on Sunday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. The pitching match-up for the finale features Deck McGuire (5-8, 5.43) against Altoona righty Casey Sadler (7-5, 3.38).

Last year SIFF screened Welcome to Doe Bay, a picturesque documentary about a small music festival on Orcas Island that has had an outsized impact on the Northwest music scene. Filmed during the festival's three-day span on a somewhat remote island, the parameters for that film were well-set. The Otherside, this year's local-music-zeitgeist doc premiering in SIFF's "Face the Music" program, was created with no such parameters. Directed by Daniel Torok and produced by J.R. Celski and Vinny Dom, it's an inside look at the Seattle hip-hop scene, following its subject wherever it may go.
Too often this approach results in a meandering tale, but not this time. Since filming began a few years ago, the scene has exploded. At least it has for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, the artists responsible for the song from which the doc's title is derived. And, yes, the documentary ultimately trains its focus on the rapper responsible for the quadruple-platinum hit "Thrift Shop." But thankfully it sets up its main act with plenty of support.
The film opens on an interview with ?uestlove, the famed drummer for the Roots (and leader of Jimmy Fallon's house band), one of the pre-eminent authorities on the state of contemporary hip-hop. His contention is that hip-hop has grown up and maybe lost some of its swagger. "Hip-hop is a 34-year-old single mother of three," he says. "It's gotta become a subculture again."
Enter Seattle. In his 47-minute doc, director Torok efficiently splices together music videos, interviews with dozens of the city's artists and promoters, candid backstage footage, and high-energy live performances. He constructs an argument that the Seattle scene can be that subculture, though he never states his thesis so obviously.
Torok lays his groundwork early with heavyweights paying authoritative, if cursory, respect to the past. KEXP DJ, MC, and Stranger columnist Larry Mizell Jr. remembers long-gone venues Rock Candy and the Paradox and influential regional compilations 14 Fathoms Deep, Do the Math, and Classic Elements. Shabazz Palaces' Tendai Maraire talks about the freestyle battles that used to spring up at the Mural Amphitheatre, and he remembers listening to Nasty Nes introduce the city to early rap on 1250 K-FOX. Producer Jake One recalls attending early music conventions and handing out recordings of beats he made.
Much hand-wringing follows, with artist after artist weighing in on the core existential dilemma of Seattle hip-hop: the lack of a distinctive sound. "The fact that there is no sound is our sound," says Fresh Espresso's P Smoov. "It's a great place for an idea to flourish." This is true, as proven by the doc's mesmerizing performances by diverse acts like Shabazz Palaces, the Physics, and Champagne Champagne (though the lack of female artists is noticeable). And yet, here is where the story of Seattle hip-hop usually loses its luster and sputters. The artists might be comfortable without a dominant aesthetic, but diversity doesn't really make for a strong central narrative. This is where Macklemore comes in.
Torok plays his deus ex machina perfectly. Though there are glimpses of Seattle's breakout artist in the film's opening moments, Macklemore remains completely—and purposely, it seems—absent from The Otherside until the 20-minute mark. Brainstorm, an MC for the group Dyme Def and one of the film's most compelling talking heads, narrates the moment. "There's no fuckin' reason why Seattle shouldn't be a staple for music as far as hip-hop goes," he says. As he finishes his sentence, the picture cuts to a candid glimpse down a crowded hallway where Macklemore is waiting in the wings. From this point on, it's Macklemore's show.
Torok's documentary doesn't abandon the other musicians here, but Macklemore's presence overshadows their every quote. When MC Khingz talks about working your ass off, you think about Macklemore. When Spac3man talks about the need to tour, you think about Macklemore. When RA Scion talks about being uncompromising in his art, you think about Macklemore. And when Macklemore talks about the potential of the artists in the region, you think about Macklemore.
"We're starting to become comfortable in our own skin and in the music we're making as a region," says Macklemore in a segment that appears to have been shot before he sold out three nights at the Showbox, played the mainstage at Sasquatch!, released his and Lewis' debut album, The Heist, and then rocketed to the top of the charts. "We don't have to look at those other regions and be like, 'Man, why aren't they paying attention to us the way they're paying attention to those guys in L.A.?' . . . It doesn't matter. If we're doing us, the people will eventually catch on. And I think that has already started."
There's an irony to watching such scenes and knowing what's ahead for these artists. Torok does a fine job of capitalizing on the moment while not losing the larger story of Seattle hip-hop. Yet The Otherside feels unfinished. Near the end of the film, Lewis is interviewed, post-breakout, in the green room prior to his and Macklemore's March performance on Saturday Night Live. "The last five months, starting with The Heist coming out, have probably been the craziest," he says. "Everything is kind of changing. It's a lot to keep up with."
How will these two artists and their Seattle peers keep up? Will the local hip-hop scene endure, or go the way of flannel? That can be the subject of Torok's next documentary.
THE OTHERSIDE SIFF Cinema Uptown. 7 p.m. Fri., May 31, 8:30 p.m. Sun., June 2.
"Face the Music" Highlights

A Band Called Death
3 p.m. Sat., May 18 & 9 p.m. Tues., May 28, SIFF Cinema Uptown.
The latest in a series of rock docs that unearth acts from the past that deserved greater fame (see Searching for Sugar Man), this is the story of the Hackney brothers and their punk-rock group, Death. What's notable about this band of minister's kids is that it was crafting fast and ragged punk songs in Detroit years before New York caught on. Also, these brothers are black, a fact that scared off major labels but gives the film an edge. Featuring interviews with Henry Rollins, Kid Rock, Alice Cooper, ?uestlove, and, um, Tobey McGuire.
3 p.m. Sat., May 25 & 11:30 a.m. Sun., May 26, SIFF Cinema Uptown.
Presented in a style very similar to that of The Buena Vista Social Club, Harana follows Filipino-American guitarist Florante Aguilar to the Philippines, where he explores the history of the serenade before modern technology wipes it out. The passion and nostalgia inherent in the project is a natural draw, but the beauty of the music makes this a vital film.
The Punk Singer
9:30 p.m. Thurs., May 24 & 1:30 p.m. Sun., May 26, Harvard Exit.
Unseen but on my list is this documentary profile of Kathleen Hanna, a pioneer of Olympia's riot girrrl scene and leader of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, who abruptly stopped performing in 2005. (She was later diagnosed with Lyme disease.) Among those interviewed by director Sini Anderson are Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, Carrie Brownstein, and Adam Horowitz.

Age: 20
Hometown: Davisburg, Michigan
When did you become interested in cooking?
"After watching a segment about cupcakes on The Martha Stewart Show. I ran into the kitchen to make the recipe as soon as the show ended, and I haven't stopped baking since."
What are the challenges of updating your blog?
"Updating takes quite a bit of time. I enjoy writing, but I take my time doing it, so I can't just knock out a post in an hour, nor do I want to. I devote quite a bit of time to responding to comments and emails from readers. And baking, of course, takes a while— as does the process of decorating, plating and photographing the finished product."
How do you balance blogging with schoolwork?
"It's definitely a challenge. Schoolwork comes first, but I kind of treat blogging like homework. I'll set deadlines and push other activities like going to the mall out of my schedule to make sure that I work on the blog. It's occasionally difficult to balance blogging with school, my internship, and my social life. It's very hard to make sure that none of my priorities suffer, and I still feel like I haven't quite mastered it!"
What are your kitchen essentials?
"Gotta have a whisk! Also, I am a rubber spatula addict and can't ever seem to be satisfied with the amount of butter chillin' in the fridge."
What tips do you have for photographing food?
"I would suggest staying away from flash— it produces nasty shadows and weird colors. Shoot in natural light. Don't go rushing into the world of DSLRs. Play around with whatever camera you've got first before you decide to take the plunge. Sure, a nice camera will take nice photos, but the photographer is what really makes them great."
Do you aim to make a career out of baking?
"I hope to eventually be able to open a bakery, but for now, I'm working on a degree in marketing. I think it will come in handy in the future when I'm ready for business!"

What do you like about cooking?
"I honestly love sharing food with people! Food is a universal language. It has the ability to take on the standards, values, and attributes of the individual preparing it, and it's meant to be shared with others."
What are the challenges of maintaining your blog?
"The biggest challenge is budgeting my ongoing grocery list for ingredients. I would post every day if I could afford it!"
"I always plan out my schedule a week in advance. If I have a busy school week ahead, I will write my blog entries ahead of time over the weekend. I typically wake up at dawn to make recipes and take photos for my blog before going to class."
What camera do you use to photograph your dishes?
"I do all my own photography with my handy-dandy Canon point-and-shoot camera. When photographing food, I always use natural morning light, minimal background props, and creative angles."
What advice do you have for aspiring bloggers?
"Don't ever make your blog feel like a chore. You should write because you feel inspired to share with others, not because you feel obligated."
Do you aim to make a career out of cooking?
"I would love to have a career in advertising and marketing that emphasizes food, health, and nutrition. Hopefully one day I'll be fortunate enough to start my own bakery and espresso shop."
Age: 18
Hometown: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
What motivated you to start your food blog?
"I had been diagnosed with Celiac Disease three months before, and was trying out a number of recipes. I wanted a space to write them down and share my thoughts. Quickly, it became much more than that. It's become a refuge and something that I adore creating."
"Schoolwork always comes first. When that's done, or I need a break, I've always baked. This is just an extension of that. Baking, writing, photographing are the things that I do for myself."
What do you love to cook?
"I adore baking pies and using butter and flours to create flaky crusts filled with juicy fruit, silky pudding, or airy chiffon. They're delicious."
"A scale and a cupboard full of flours. Gluten-free baking typically requires a couple of flours as well as a binder to replace wheat flour. Having a cupboard full of flours is such a treat and always inspires me. Another thing I've come to consider essential in the past year is a kitchen scale."
"Write about what makes your heart sing. Do it because it makes you happy, not for someone else. Then, reach out. I've made some of my best friends through blogging. We all share a passion for food, photography and sharing."
Do you aim to make a career out of cooking?
"At the moment, no. I'm learning French in France at a language school, and I'm looking forward to attending university in the fall."
Age: 19
Hometown: Seattle, Washington
What motivated you to start your food blog?
"The summer that I turned sixteen, I baked a gorgeous loaf of banana bread. My backyard was drenched in sunlight, so I dug out my camera and had a food photo shoot outside. The banana bread photos made me hungry long after the loaf was gone. I was so pleased with the shots that I wanted to share them, and 17 and Baking was born."
What are the challenges of updating and maintaining your blog?
"In high school, I'd come home, drop my backpack, and start cracking eggs. I loved baking and blogging, and made more tarts and cookies than I could post about. Now that I'm in college with significantly more work and a teeny tiny dorm kitchen, baking is harder. I have a steamer trunk full of pans and spatulas under my bed— all the baking supplies I need to get through the school year."
"Even with two jobs, piles of homework, and extracurricular activities, finding time to blog isn't the hard part. It's finding the inspiration. After an afternoon of work and class, I don't always feel like baking. I keep myself motivated by eating good food off campus and reading beautiful literature."
Do you have a favorite recipe?
"My favorite thing to make is cake. For friends' birthdays, I've made shaped cakes, including a cello cake for a musical friend. I love rustic everyday cakes, sweetened with bursting berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. There's something magical about making a layer cake swirled with buttercream and cutting the first slice with held breath."
What are your tips for photographing food?
"I believe that the equipment doesn't make the photographer, whether you have a DSLR, a digital point-and-shoot, or an iPhone. I shoot with sunlight, not artificial lighting, for the most natural food photos. I also make sure to photograph the entire cooking process, not just the final product— ingredients, tools, even my cluttered counter. It makes the dessert feel real. For me, the goal of food photography isn't a pretty picture, it's to make you hungry!"
"Baking is my passion, but I couldn't imagine a life without writing. I'm majoring in creative nonfiction with a minor in journalism. In my dream future, I'm freelancing for food, travel, and news publications, writing a novel, and opening a bakery."

Biology students view live kidney transplant
Jessica Habe was surprised at the lack of blood.
Bailey Rickertsen was amazed at how fast a transplanted kidney begins working and Drake Brand couldn't believe how quickly the surgery was completed.Nonetheless all said the viewing of a live kidney transplant, performed at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, was a good learning experience.
Seniors in Maggie Tiller's physiology class recently viewed the surgery and asked questions during the operation along with students from other schools in Nebraska, Kansas, Texas and Ohio.
Before the surgery, students learned about kidneys, how they function and what causes chronic kidney disease.
Students watched the extraction of a healthy kidney from a donor and the transplant of the organ into the body of a recipient.
Typically such a surgery lasts about three hours.
One question asked by the class was the difference between living donor transplants compared to someone who has died.
Dr. Sylvester Black, who performed the kidney transplant, said surgeons are more meticulous with living donors so they don't injure tissue or other organs.
"It's technically more challenging," he said. "And it's more work to get a kidney (from a live donor) ready for transplant."
Black also said that OSUWMC performs up to 220 kidney transplants a year.
He noted that the size of the kidney isn't as important as it is in heart, lung and liver transplants.
When asked when they know a transplant is successful, Black said almost immediately.
"The kidneys perk up and start making urine," he said. "But it may take weeks for it (the new kidney) to function normally."
Tiller said she hopes students take away several things from the experience.
"I hope that they would consider organ donation," she said. "It's such a gift to give someone else a chance to extend their life."
Secondly, she'd like them to see the different health fields available such as a donation specialist who has a degree in counseling but works in the health field.
From the surgery, Tiller said she hopes they see how transplants have advanced and how surgeons can adjust to allow for a new organ in a patient's body.
Habe said she wants to be a labor and delivery nurse and will have to get used to blood like what was shown during the transplant.
"It also helped me know the parts of the body," she said.
Carson Messersmith, who wants to be a cardiothoracic or neurosurgeon, said the transplant provided him time in the operating room.
"It will help me decide what speciality I want to go into," he said.
Rebecca Anderson, who also wants to be a doctor, said the kidney transplant is a procedure she hasn't yet seen during previous shadow experiences.
Jessica Schmidt plans to be a veterinarian and said the opening of a human abdominal cavity is much different than the same procedure on an animal.
She noted that animals have much more fat since humans use their stomach muscles more to stand and walk.

ANGEL FIRE, N.M., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The women in Jack's life best described his free fall back to Nam. His wife Skyi was a hot LZ; Roma was a punji pit; Vicki a Bouncing Betty explosive and Audrey the rumbling of distant artillery.
What could be more fantastic than returning home to family and friends after surviving all the dodging bombs and bullets of close combat for a year? Once Jack had discarded his jungle boots, fatigues, M-16 and utility belt of hand grenades, upon discharging from his unit in the Mekong Delta, he anticipated his return home as nothing less than an ascension to a wonderland where the taps flowed with cold beer, t-bone steak came with breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the streets were line with sumptuous round-eyed girls. Now, two years into his return home in Northern California, he wanted his soldiers gear back. How could life in paradise have gone so wrong - a failed marriage after only a year, no possibility of a simple damned job (who wanted to hire a pot smoking, attitude dancing Nam vet anyway?), and what had happened to his relationships with family members and old friends? And then there were the frequent war nightmares and flashbacks - and the painful war wounds that persisted. At least with boots on the ground, no matter how shaky, and M-16 locked and loaded, and buddies who would give their own life for yours ever at your side, things were so simple. And you knew who the enemy were, and all you had to do was shoot them and move on.

Editor's Comment: Jennie Spotila, long-time CFS/ME patient advocate, former board member and chair of the CFIDS Association of America, and founder of Occupy CFS, has just been appointed to the FDA's Patient Representative Program. Jennie personally attended the FDA's recent workshop, where she contributed vital information about establishing viable parameters for measuring treatment outcomes. You can watch her presentation HERE.
By Jennie Spotila
As of today, I have been appointed to the FDA's Patient Representative Program. This has actually been in the works for a while, and I've been anxious to tell you about it, but it finally becomes official today.
The FDA Patient Representative Program selects and trains patients (or family members) to serve on advisory committees and to provide FDA with the perspectives of people affected by serious diseases. I learned of the program last October while researching information about FDA. I submitted an application on October 23, 2012, and received provisional training in December. But the conflicts of interest screening process takes months to complete, and I was not notified until March that I was officially accepted. My appointment begins today, May 6th, and will run for five years.
What does this mean? First, I am now eligible to serve on advisory committees convened by FDA to evaluate drugs or biologics for the treatment of ME/CFS. You may recall that Alaine Perry served as the patient representative on the advisory committee that reviewed the Ampligen application in December 2012. Second, FDA offers ongoing training to its patient representatives so I will have the opportunity to learn more about various issues (like risk mitigation programs, etc.), and to share the perspectives of ME/CFS patients with FDA and my fellow representatives. I have already learned a great deal about FDA through this program and I look forward to learning more.
Federal ethics rules for service on advisory committees are very strict. I would be disqualified from service by even the undue appearance of a conflict of interest. I won't be able to comment on products that may come up for review, or accept compensation from companies that make those products (of course, no one has ever offered me such compensation!).
My sincere hope is that there will be multiple opportunities in the next five years for me to serve on committees evaluating treatments for ME/CFS! In the meantime, I will pass on what I learn through this program. I also hope that you will help me educate FDA about ME/CFS by sharing your perspectives and questions with me, so that I can share those views with them.
You can help me educate FDA and other patient reps about ME/CFS by sharing your thoughts with me on treatments, burden of illness, and other issues as they arise. Also let me know if you have questions about FDA and I'll try to get answers for you.
You can contact Jennie at Occupy CFS.

Campaigning in Pingree Grove gated community causes controversy
A Pingree Grove village board candidate was asked to leave a gated community while he was campaigning door-to-door last week. It turns out he should have been allowed to stay, officials said.
Some also questioned the actions of village President Greg Marston, who directly notified only the candidates he endorsed in the April 9 election that they could campaign at Carillon at Cambridge Lakes.
Candidate Joe Nowosielski, whom Marston endorsed, said he was campaigning Wednesday evening at Carillon, a gated community for people 55 and older, when he was asked to leave by Trustee Bernie Thomas, who lives there. Thomas, whose seat is not up for re-election, told him campaigning is not allowed at Carillon, Nowosielski said.
"(Thomas) basically told me I was breaking the law," Nowosielski said. "Had I decided to stay, it was implied police would be called."
Thomas confirmed he asked Nowosielski to leave but would not comment further.
After leaving Carillon, Nowosielski said he called Marston because he didn't know if he had done anything wrong.
"I wanted to find out, 'Hey, what's the deal?' " Nowosielski said, adding that "soliciting" and "campaigning" are two different things.
Marston said he called Police Chief Carol Lussky, who is operating as village administrator while Ken Lopez is on vacation, and representatives of Carillon developer Cambridge Homes. He said he intervened because he believes "in fair and equal access to all candidates."
Lussky, in turn, contacted village Attorney Dean Frieders, who said he determined candidates are allowed to campaign on the Carillon property.
The Carillon homeowners association doesn't own the property yet because it's still not fully developed, so the property still belongs to the developer, Cambridge Homes/D.R. Horton, Frieders said.
"I contacted the property owners, and their response was that they had no objection to campaigning from candidates running for public office," he said.
Frieders sent his findings via email to the entire village board.
Then, Marston emailed Nowosielski, candidate Rich Eckert and incumbent Steve Wiedmeyer -- the three candidates he endorsed -- to tell them it's OK to campaign at Carillon.
Eckert and Nowosielski said they both got emails from Marston on Thursday; Wiedmeyer was also a recipient of the group email, Eckert said. Wiedmeyer did not return a call for comment.
The other candidates in the race -- incumbent Ray LaMarca, Patrick Whalen, Bruce Barnes, Charles Pearson and Lon Czarnecki -- all said they didn't get any such email from Marston.
Marston said he left a voice mail on Friday for vacationing Administrator Ken Lopez, asking Lopez to notify all the candidates.
"I do not have all of the candidates' contact information; contacting Ken would enable him the next business day (Monday) to notify all of the candidates," he said.
LaMarca criticized Marston's decision to inform some candidates first.
"That's an unfair practice and showing favoritism toward certain candidates," LaMarca said.
Czarnecki agreed. "If this was actually for all the candidates, then it should be communicated to all the candidates," he said. "And I'm talking not just us, but Rutland Township and everybody else who serves that area."
Barnes said he's planning to address the issue at Monday's village board meeting.
"My intent was to ask when (Marston) intended to share it with the other candidates," he said.
Most candidates said they will respect the wishes of Carillon residents and not campaign there. Nowosielski, on the other hand, said he planned to resume his campaign "right where I left off."
Pearson, who lives in Carillon, pointed out residents bought into what they thought was a private community. He said he won't campaign in his own community "until (the change of policy) is written down and absolute. That's my stance."

These discharge instructions will give you general information on caring for yourself after you leave the hospital. Please read these instructions and refer to this sheet in the next few weeks. Your doctor may also give you specific information. If you have any problems or questions after discharge, please call your doctor.
Your doctor will tell you when you may go back to activities that take a lot of strength, like driving and sports. You should avoid heavy lifting, carrying, or pushing (nothing heavier than five pounds) until further notice. Take frequent rest periods. You may tire more easily than usual. After doing any activity, rest and elevate the arm affected by your surgery for a period of time equal to your activity time.
Continue doing the exercises given to you by your doctor's office after full range of motion has returned. The amount of time this takes will vary from person to person. Generally, after normal range of motion has returned, you may have some stiffness and soreness for two to three months. Stiffness and soreness are normal and will slowly go away.
When your doctor allows, begin sports or strenuous activities slowly. Don't overdo it. This will give you a chance to rebuild your strength. Continue to be careful about heavy lifting or carrying (no more than 10 pounds) with your operative arm for several months after surgery to ensure proper healing. Your doctor will tell you when you can return to work.
You can go back to your normal diet as soon as you leave the hospital. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids (six to eight glasses a day). Try to eat a well-balanced diet. Daily portions of food from the meat, dairy, bread, and fruit and vegetable groups are necessary for your good health.
You may wash your hair. Follow your doctor's advice on bathing. Generally, if your incision is not leaking fluid or separated, you may shower or tub bathe.
You may have some mild discomfort. Take pain relievers as prescribed. You may need a stool softener because some pain medications can cause constipation. If none were prescribed or if your discomfort is mild, you may take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin). Do not take any product containing aspirin. Call your doctor if the pain gets worse.
If you have a drain in place, please refer to instructions provided for "Surgical Drain Care."
If the lymph nodes under your arm were removed, there may be a greater chance of swelling in the arm. If possible, do not use that arm to have your blood pressure taken. If you need to have blood drawn or injections, use the other arm.
Here are some other guidelines:
Please remember to call your doctor's office for a follow-up appointment.
If you feel feverish or have shaking chills, take your temperature. If your temperature is 100.4 F (38 C) or above, call your doctor. The fever may mean there is an infection. You should also call your doctor if you have redness, draining, swelling, or separation of skin at your incision site.

One of the nine types of muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition characterized by progressive weakening of voluntary muscles that leads to death. DMD worsens more rapidly than other types of muscular dystrophy. It is also the most common form of muscular dystrophy: according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated one of every 5,600 to 7,700 males between five and 24 years of age have DMD. (CDC)
The condition is often associated with young people because symptoms begin in early childhood and those with DMD usually die in early adulthood.
DMD is a genetic disease. Those who inherit it have a defective gene related to a muscular protein called dystrophin. This protein keeps muscle cells intact, and its absence causes rapid muscular deterioration as a child with DMD grows.
A family history of DMD is a risk factor, but the condition may be inherited without a known family history because it can be carried silently. This means family members carry a copy of the defective gene, but it does not cause DMD in those individuals. The gene is sometimes carried for generations before affecting a child.
Males are more likely to suffer from DMD than females. Children of both genders who are born to a mother who carries the defective gene each have a 50 percent chance of inheriting the defect. However, girls who inherit the gene will be asymptomatic carriers, and boys will present with symptoms.
Symptoms generally start to appear between age 2 and 6. Many sufferers develop normally during infancy and early childhood. DMD symptoms may include:
Muscular dystrophy may be suspected during routine wellness exams. The pediatrician and parents may notice muscle weakening and lack of coordination. Blood tests and muscle biopsies can confirm a diagnosis of DMD. The blood test used to reach this diagnosis is called a creatine phosphokinase test. When muscles deteriorate, they release a large amount of creatine phosphokinase enzyme into the blood. If high levels are detected, muscle biopsies or genetic tests will determine the type of muscular dystrophy.
There is no cure for DMD. Treatment is meant to mitigate symptoms and extend life expectancy.
Children with DMD often lose the ability to walk and require a wheelchair by about age 12. Leg bracing may be used to extend the amount of time a child is able to walk independently. Regular physical therapy keeps the muscles in the best possible condition. Steroid treatments may also be prescribed to prolong muscle function.
Weakening muscles can cause ailments such as scoliosis, pneumonia, and abnormal heart rate. These must be treated and monitored as they occur.
Lung function begins to deteriorate in the late stages of the disease, and a ventilator may be used to prolong life.
DMD is a fatal condition. Most sufferers pass away during their twenties, but with diligent care, some survive into their thirties. In the later stages of the disease, most sufferers are completely disabled and require full-time care.
The condition is degenerative. The need for medical care increases as the condition worsens. As symptoms begin to appear between age 2 and 6, the child will usually need regular monitoring by a team of medical professionals. As the final stages of the disease emerge during the teen and young-adult years, the sufferer may need to be hospitalized or receive hospice care.
DMD cant be prevented before conception because it is inherited from the mother. Geneticists are researching technology that may be able to prevent the defect from being passed on, but no successful cure has been discovered.
Genetic testing prior to conception can determine whether a couple faces an increased risk of bearing children with DMD. Tests done on pregnant women can diagnose DMD in utero with about 95 percent accuracy.

The 20th anniversary of the legendary XJR1300 continues with the third Yard Built production of the year, the first collaboration from Amsterdam based custom builders Numbnut Motorcycles.
The Dutch builders first Yard Built project is a visceral racing machine with road friendly manners, a fitting tribute indeed to the XJR.
Inspired by a one-off 1917 FIAT racing car, the 'Botafogo Special', the bike is an impressive custom machine built using a mix of in-house and aftermarket bolt-on parts with no cutting or welding to the original XJR frame.
Satin black Boranni M-Ray wire wheels and Pirelli Phantom Sport tyres set the period tone, complemented by a Numbnut custom aluminium gas cap and custom made mesh side panels and rear underseat panel. A Numbnut 'Imola' custom front fairing with mesh headlight cover hides a state of the art LED headlight at the front, set off in stunning light green paintwork.
At the front are Yamaha R1 forks and radial calipers and at the rear, Ohlins twin shocks. The racer look is further enhanced with Tygon 2375 clear brake reservoir hoses front and rear and all black Goodridge steel braided brake lines. A clever custom Numbnut primary socket cover lights up at the flick of a switch and Steel Dragon Performance aluminium velocity stacks and RF Biketech radiator provide some understated bling.
The dash gets a Stack ST200 tachometer, Sport Developments GP style control buttons and Biltwell grips on the bars. Power is delivered to the back wheel with a 520 RK racing chain wrapped around Chiaravalli sprockets front and rear. A screaming custom matt black 4 into 2 exhaust by MVS Race Engineering provides a suitably raw soundtrack.
A host of in-house Numbnut custom parts finish the bike, including foot pegs, clutch and brake levers, heel guards, a custom alcantara seat by Eller Meyer and custom side and seat covers.
A selection of the parts created by Numbnut Motorcycles are now available to order for XJR owners looking to personalise their own machines, adding to the options for customisation on offer from the Wrenchmonkees and itroCkS!bikes.

This is based on the 1966 British caper pic that starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. In this version Harry Dean's (Colin Firth) plan to steal a painting from one of the world's richest men is missing one final component — the participation of a beautiful woman to act as his gambit. In Nicole, he meets someone who appears to be the perfect candidate, but Harry himself becomes enraptured with her, causing his plan to take a series of wrong turns. [Synopsis courtesy of IOnCinema]

AICPA Supports State Tax Tribunal Model Legislation
August 15, 2012
The American Institute of CPAs supports model legislation that state CPA societies can use if their legislatures are considering creating or modifying an independent state tax tribunal. A tax tribunal is an administrative appeals forum designed to resolve state tax appeal controversies prior to litigation, but in a forum outside the dominion and control of the state tax authority.
Thirty-two states have adopted independent state tax tribunals and other states may consider such legislation in 2013. Georgia and Illinois, the most recent states to adopt state tax tribunals, enacted the legislation in their 2012 legislative sessions.
The position on the model legislation was approved by the AICPA Tax Executive Committee and is based on the 2006 American Bar Association (ABA) Model State Administrative Tax Tribunal Act. The AICPA position paper includes an explanation of the potential value of such a tribunal to taxpayers and provides special commentary on how to protect CPA mobility when state tax tribunal legislation is under consideration.
Mat Young, AICPA vice president for state regulatory and legislative affairs, explained that it is important to ensure that CPAs authorized to practice in a state are able to represent taxpayers before the state's tax tribunal. Therefore, in order to protect CPA mobility, the AICPA developed proposed language to one section of the ABA Model Bill. The revised language would allow a CPA to represent a client before a tax tribunal so long as the CPA meets the state's requirements to obtain a practice privilege under the state's accountancy law.
If you have any questions about this issue or want to discuss a unique situation related to tax tribunal laws or case law in your state, please contact Mat Young, firstname.lastname@example.com, or Eileen Sherr, senior technical manager on the AICPA Tax Team, firstname.lastname@example.com.
