A 17-year-old from Lockport pleaded not guilty today to first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend's infant daughter, said a spokesman with the Will County State's Attorney's office.
Jon Karlson, of the 1100 block of South Hamilton Street, is being held on a $2 million bond and has been in custody since he was initially charged with aggravated battery to a child Dec. 7, one day after the two-month-old child was allegedly injured while in his care. He is alleged to have shaken the infant, according to the Will County State's Attorney's office, and the charge was upgraded to murder when she died nearly one week after the incident.

I was thinking the other day about where I am with my diet situation. I'm finally at a point where I feel I'm worth it. I am worthy of taking care of myself in a healthy way. It was a Moonstruck, "Snap out of it! moment" Where I finally looked at myself, sort of like when I find my kids doing something naughty that only a kid could think of and I'm so surprised that they thought whatever they were doing was a good idea. It was my "STOP! What are you DOING?" moment. It finally hit home. I deserve to be healthy and taking care of myself is a priority. Damn it. But my point is, it didn't happen over night.
I do think that if I had not gotten on the path of martial arts it would have taken me a lot longer to get here, if at all. With every round of dieting I learn something new about myself. Not just in terms of food but in my life. I uncover an answer to one of the tough questions. And with each dieting go around I go a little deeper. Try a little harder, make bigger more permanent changes that would lead me to a healthier me. Inside and out.
I lost thirty-five pounds while I was preparing for my black belt test. Months before, when I thought about that test, I pictured myself thin receiving my belt. And it worked. I lost the weight through a plan called "Trevose". It's not rocket science. It's a simple plan based on calories and keeping a food journal and weekly weigh ins where they expect you to be at your goal, no excuses. Our group met once a week and it wasn't like a WW meeting where the leader did most of the talking it was a group and everyone got to talk about their week. I learned a lot about myself and the women in the group got to know me well enough to give me "Snap out of it!" advice on more than one occasion. My point is, it was a rich experience. I learned more answers to some more deep questions. I might have even thought I had it all figured out when I got my belt and hit my goals. Life has a way of catching you and hitting you upside the head if you don't learn the lesson completely the first one, two or three times. But if you go with it, roll with it, don't get yourself too bunched up it can lead you to some places far better than you imagined.
I fell off the wagon a bit when I left my old karate school. I went from practicing karate 24/7 to practicing two to three times a week. Immediately I could feel the weight creeping back on but I let myself get stuck in a rut. I repeated some bad choices for several months before I started to gradually gain not only control but my desire to be in control. Because being in control of one's diet is a lot of work. And I had gotten tired and a little lazy and throw in a little emotional eating on top. But I didn't let myself go completely to pot. A BJJ school opened in my neighborhood and I knew the owner because he and some of his guys had taught some classes at my karate school. When I went in to welcome them to the neighborhood I ended up signing up for a year and shortly after that they started a women's only BJJ class. I had two reasons for wanting to learn BJJ. American Kenpo is a standing art and I wanted to get more comfortable moving on the ground. I wanted to understand it and how it worked. The other reason was to kick my sorry butt back into shape.
About a year into it Sharon, my instructor, moved the class to a different day and said she wanted to offer a "fitness" class before the BJJ class. I was the first to line up to try the kettle bell class. I gathered as many friends as I could find so that she would also consider adding a few more mornings to the program. Sharon is a gem. She is one of the first female BJJ Black Belts she is very knowledgeable not only in BJJ but training in general, fitness and nutrition. I was looking for an exercise program with some intensity and kettle bells certainly delivers. Here are a few things that I like about training with Sharon. If I am the only one who shows up for class she will still give me a hard sometimes even harder workout. Some instructors might use that as an excuse to slack off a bit. If I need some extra discipline in the diet department. She will coach me and read my food journal and crack the whip. Our class is still small but a dedicated group of women who take everything that Sharon has to dish out in a workout. I also like the atmosphere of the class. We are serious about our workouts but we laugh a lot and joke around. I always feel great when I leave there. I actually believe the laughter and camaraderie is just as important as the workout. It's another place where I can be in my element where I can strive to be a better me. When I asked Sharon about kettle bell certification she said there was one coming up and she also thought that I would be able to do it. In addition to our regular kettle bell classes she would stay after class to give me additional workouts to prepare for the two day certification. When we went for the certification we met a man, Steve Kardian, who teaches a women's self defense course called "Fight Like a Girl".
Sharon and I traveled to Steve's school for the certification about a year ago. And now we are teaching self defense seminars at the BJJ school. So what started off as an effort to get a little more exercise has blossomed into something bigger than I had ever imagined.
I will admit while I was getting these certs and becoming stronger I was still dilly dallying
with my weight but because of the kettle bells I started reading more blogs learning about the top kettle bell instructors in the country and really starting to take to heart all of the things that they prescribe. And all of them take their diets seriously. So this has brought me back full circle to once again take, not just my "diet", but my choices and commitments to health and fitness to a whole new level. And just like all of the other times, I dug a little deeper, figured out some answers to some of my tough questions, grappled with a few demons and have an even deeper understanding of my self. And it has been this leg of the journey that given me the most confidence and the most discipline. Somehow in this process I have developed an intolerance for feeling bad whether it's emotional or physical. I'm doing it for the right reasons because I just want to feel good which has lead me to finally believe I am worth it. I am worthy of living a healthy life.
My quote for this blog comes from and interview with Mike Mahler a top kettle bell instructor.
I read his blog daily and have been greatly inspired.
" Be brutally honest with yourself. Evil exists and flourishes when people are delusional and fail to be well calibrated. Being well calibrated means your perception of yourself is accurate. Just because you have always done something does not mean you need to keep doing it.You can evolve and be better. However, it all starts with being brutally honest. You have to accept who you are now and take the necessary steps to improve. Surround yourself with great people that tell you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear. Be humble and avoid looking down on others. Focus on improving yourself and be an example to others."
"Being strong and healthy should make you a better person."

Each Dal Zotto wine is the blend of three elements - family, tradition and innovation - with one overarching philosophy - your origins are just as important as your future.
The Dal Zotto philosophy begins with what is closest to our hearts - family. From rural life in Italy, to settling in the King Valley, to pioneering Italian grape varieties, the journey has been a shared one. Along the way, from the good times at the table to our appetite for discovery in the vineyard and winery, it is "La Famiglia" that has brought it all together.
Pale straw, vivid green youthful hue; tantalizing hints of fresh cut pear, citrus blossom and a mere suggestion of spice jump out and present themselves on the bouquet; the palate is soft, appealing, approachable and basically a whole lot of fun, with gentle bubbles and alcohol combining seamlessly, and offering the maximum amount of freshness for a drink early, enjoy and not necessarily in moderation style of sparkling wine; a spot on example of Prosecco.

PRINCETON, NJ - Annual conventions throughout the United States felt the sting of a weak economy in 2009. While the attendance numbers for NAFA's annual Institute & Expo (I&E) decreased less than the average conference (according to the American Society of Association Executives), NAFA enlisted its Board of Governors to examine the conference from the inside out and find ways to improve every aspect of the I&E. For over 50 years, NAFA's annual I&E has been the premier networking and education event for the fleet management industry; by being proactive, NAFA has not only taken steps to combat the weak economy, but has rebuilt the conference to ensure it remains the industry's premier event for the next 50 years.
NAFA's next I&E will take place April 24-27, 2010 in Detroit. The ideas taken from by the Board of Governors will be fully implemented in order to improve the overall I&E experience for attendees, increase the value for fleet managers, and entice more industry professionals to attend.
Significant improvements made for the 2010 I&E include:
Powerful Keynote Speakers - NAFA has extended an invitation to Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors to provide high-level Keynote Speakers for the general sessions. Since the I&E will be held in Detroit, this is a great opportunity for the Detroit Three to speak directly to the market that constitutes up to one-third of their annual sales. In addition, having these three powerful and influential Keynote Speakers is a rather compelling reason for fleet managers to attend the I&E. Note: Other fleet-minded OEMs will be invited if the Detroit Three cannot accept NAFA's invitation this year.
Revised Scheduling - Several changes have been made to the I&E schedule to offer attendees a better use of their time. Changes include offering advanced fleet management sessions geared towards veteran fleet managers as well as sessions planned by and geared towards commercial fleet managers, government fleet managers, and public safety fleet managers during every time slot of the I&E.
Increased Focus On The Expo Floor - The 2010 I&E will see an increased effort to keep fleet managers on the expo floor through a series of minor changes. For the first time, the Grand Celebration networking reception and dinner will take place directly on the Expo floor. NAFA's Green Fleet Awards presentation will take place during the Grand Celebration, so it will not take away from the business portion of the expo. Additionally, the Ride & Drive will take place Monday afternoon, after the Expo closes, in order to allow exhibitors the full attention of the attendees.
NAFA is also developing a special education program to help exhibitors attract more visitors to their booth. This program may involve such techniques as webinars, assistance with email marketing campaigns, and a virtual trade show.
I&E As Part Of Fleet Preview Week - Taking advantage of Detroit as the host city, NAFA is working on having the I&E sandwiched between two major fleet preview shows - GM's 2011 Fleet Preview prior to the I&E and Ford's 2011 Fleet Preview after the I&E. If NAFA is able to make this happen, it will offer fleet managers the opportunity to reduce the amount of travel time and expenses necessary to attend all three vital industry events - and help promote the I&E to fleet managers who will be in the city for the fleet previews that otherwise may not have attended the conference.
With these changes, NAFA confidently and boldly takes the I&E to a new level. The Association has no intention of having the I&E be thought of as just another fleet event, the goal is for the I&E to be the fleet event. Thanks to the work of NAFA's Board of Governors - volunteer fleet managers and affiliates covering every sector of the industry - that goal is in reach.
About NAFA
NAFA Fleet Management Association is a not-for-profit, individual membership professional society serving the needs of members who manage fleets of sedans, public safety vehicles, trucks, and buses of all types and sizes, and a wide range of military and off-road equipment for organizations across the globe.

Build Guide by UrbanBoy
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Dr. Mundo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
The Key of the Guide
With this build you can play as a good tank,initiator also as a good ganker.
You will have %35 cooldown reduction if you have all of the cd reduction masteries and items. So you can spam your Infected Cleave and use Masochism without no delay(like infinite Masochism effect). Just use your Sadism and attack the enemy. Spam your cleave and masochism. That's all.
Summoner Spells
Heal - You gain more damage when you have less hp(with Masochism) and you can easily get killed while you are trying to kill enemy with low hp. Heal prevents you to die easily and you can get a big chance to kill enemies.
Flash - I think you don't need exhaust because of your Infected Cleave,with flash you can chase and escape enemies. While enemy has a low hp use your flash to get closer to your enemy and use your Infected Cleave.(I got lots of kill wit h this way :) )
Cleanse - Using cleanse after using your ulti makes a great chance to escape from enemies.
Spirit Visage,Warmog's Armor,Ninja Tabi - Necessaries for Mundo.
Randuin's Omen- Armor,HP,Health Regeneration is what you need. This item gives you also cooldown reduction. After Spirit Visage and Randuin's Omen you will have a good cooldown reduction rate.
Force of Nature - More hp regen and magic resistance! Yay!
Frozen Mallet - 700 more hp also you will be able to slow your enemies with your attack. (Cleave + attack = pwned)
Optional Items:
Atma's Impaler - Really good item for mundo. Some crit also bonus damage(based on your max hp).
Phantom Dancer - Dodge,Critical chance,mov. speed,atk. speed is great for mundo. However i prefer to going more HP and HP regen.
Early Game
Get a Doran's Shield and a pot. Harass your enemies with your cleaver as much as possible. Hide in the grass and when there aren't any creeps in front of your enemy use your cleave. You can also use Cleave + Masochism combo to harass your enemy(your Cleave's slow effect gives you a chance to hit with Masochism effect). At 6 level use your ulti to chase your enemies or regain hp. This prodives you a good lane control. Another advantage of the ulti is you will be able to kill low hp guys under the enemy tower. Use ulti and chase. There won't be no escape for running guy :D
Mid Game
Gank with your team mates. You were born to kill enemies, use your ulti and cleave then attack enemies. You can also harass your enemies with cleave before attacking. Playing as an initiator also useful(thanks to ulti). If you have seen an enemy who hangs alone, cleave him. Then use your Masochism and Sadism. Continue to spam your skills and if you are going to die just escape under Sadism effect or use Heal,Flash. You will be able to kill this guy %80. This %20 is because of imba guys. So don't worry. Mundo is a good solo champion.
Late Game
If you have completed most your items you can easily tank and play as an initiator. Gank to the guys who tries to destroy your towers, you can kill them easily. Tank against enemy towers with your ulti,always use cleave,while escaping use burning agony and ulti.(Dont forget to turn off burning agony when there is no enemy. You just use defensive ability of burning agony.)
Ending Phase
Sorry for my bad English. My main language is Turkish,so i can easily make mistakes while writing English.
My In Game name is Hector48. Cya guys ;)

Not since the landmark 1967 case Loving v Virginia, which declared state bans on interracial marriage unconstitutional, has the court weighed in on matters as fundamental as the definition of marriage.
With the nation in the midst of a gay civil rights movement, the highest court in the land was called in to add some clarity to the thicket of conflicting laws and partisan passions. And the bipartisan legal team of David Boies and Ted Olson that helped the Justices reach their conclusion might have provided a durable model for how to call a ceasefire in the culture wars going forward.
The result was the 5-4 decision that The Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1996 (you read that right), was unconstitutional.
In the words of Reagan-appointed Justice Anthony Kennedy, congresses' law "places same sex couples in the untenable position of being in a second tier marriage. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose sexual and moral choices the Constitution protects and it humiliates tens of thousands of children now being raised by same sex couples."
In a second case, the Supreme Court ended up denying the right of sponsors of California's Proposition 8, which banned same sex marriage at the ballot box, to defend the law in court after a federal court struck it down. This procedural punt opened the door to same sex marriages again in California and potentially accelerates individual state's embrace of gay marriage.
These landmark legal decisions come at a time when public opinion in the United States is experiencing a sea change in favour of recognising same sex marriage.
In 1996, only a quarter of Americans said they believed same sex couples should have the same rights as heterosexual couples. Today, a narrow majority of Americans believe the same.
And President Obama's belated, but still politically risky, 2012 backing of marriage equality has helped change hardened opposition in the African-American community.
But while younger generations of Americans overwhelmingly support gay rights – a dynamic buoyed by the simple fact of knowing "out" gay people as opposed to the more closeted past – this is not an entirely settled issue.
More than 40 per cent of the country still opposes same sex marriage, particularly in more rural communities and conservative constituencies, leading to just three Republican senators currently supporting the freedom to marry.
Justice Scalia offered a blistering dissent and social conservatives in congress and the commentariat lost little time in declaring the decision the end of America as we know it. Right wing talk radio's Rush Limbaugh declared this the "disintegration of the United States" while congressman Randy Weber of Texas declared that "the Supreme Court seems to be in collusion with the President and his injustice department."
On social media the sentiment was less refined, though similar doses of agitated doomsaying greeted the Senate's passage of immigration reform this week as well.
In a country that vastly prefers Bruce Springsteen to Queen, the fact that gay rights have been mainstreamed with relative rapidity is amazing.
But the arguments of the past decade, culminating in the case presented in front of the Supreme Court, are worthy of study precisely because they have been less polarising than some of the activist-driven protests of the past. The compelling arguments now are about fairness and freedom: not incidentally do Democrats call same sex marriage "marriage equality" while the brave few Republicans calling for this change describe it as "freedom to marry."
But the cross-aisle coalitions that made these victories possible is best embodied by the unlikely duo of legendary conservative litigator Ted Olson and liberal legal icon David Boies, who argued against each other in Bush v Gore but found agreement on the underlying principle of these cases and argued alongside each other at the Supreme Court in this instance.
"This is not and should not be viewed as a conservative or liberal or Republican or Democratic issue," Boies once told me. "This is a civil-rights issue and a human-rights issue."
Finding common ground, rooted in shared principles, is the frame and formula for ending the culture wars on this divisive issue – and perhaps many more going forward.
Here's hoping.

About the project
In 2010, one of our friends, Chris Tepper, mentioned that there wasn't a proper AIDS memorial in New York City. So he decided to do something about it. Chris joined forces with his friend, Paul Kelterborn, to launch a grassroots campaign to have a permanent AIDS memorial built in NYC.
After six years of coalition building, community outreach, an international design competition and successful fundraising, Chris and Paul dedicated the Memorial on December 1, 2016. We recently launched a revamped 2.0 site for the dedication.
It's been thoroughly inspiring to see the full evolution of this Memorial from just an idea to actual commemoration space in the Village. This project is a wonderful reminder that our public spaces can be powerful and meaningful if citizens are engaged and demand more than just generic open space.

OK, let's cut to the chase: How are America's veterans really doing overall? While that question has no simple answer, what I can say is that there are a number of positives to share - but at least one very large negative.
In a briefing last week, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) candidly shared with the House Veterans' Affairs Committee what it considers its greatest successes as well as its most urgent problems.
Attending the meeting were some dedicated staffers from Bergmann & Moore, a Maryland law firm that focuses solely on veterans' disability cases.
As a service to veterans and their loved ones, the firm summarized on its website the most important announcements from this very important but lamentably under-reported Congressional hearing.
I guess most reporters right now are just too concerned with the presidential race to, uh, talk about the actual issues.
But I digress. Bergmann & Moore notes that, with a staff of 320,000 and an annual budget of $140 billion, "VA continues expanding to meet the challenges of an aging
Vietnam War veteran population as well as a surge in growth among Gulf
War, Afghanistan War, and Iraq War veterans."
But is VA indeed meeting these challenges? Deputy Secretary W. Scott Gould,
who testified on behalf of VA, told the committee that the agency now provides
services to more than nine million veterans out of the 22 million veterans living in the United States.
That's an undeniably astounding number of people to care for. VA in fact remains the second largest government bureaucracy behind the Department of Defense (DoD).
Among the agency's biggest successes highlighted at the hearing is the Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits
program enacted in 2008, which has been a hugely successful program for many veterans and their families.
Another positive mentioned at the meeting that hasn't gotten much national media play is how much assistance VA has provided to veterans since
the housing bubble burst in 2008.
"VA has helped more than 119,000, or 82.5 percent of, defaulted VA borrowers avoid foreclosure," said Gould in a written statement to the committee.
However, the albatross otherwise known as the VA's disability claims crisis remains the agency's number one unresolved
challenge. And it virtually overshadows the successes mentioned above.
As Bergmann & Moore points out, "More than 67 percent of claims now wait more
than 125 days, with an error rate of 30 percent."
That's unacceptable, and everyone knows it.
In 2008, fewer than 900,000 veterans filed disability
claims. In 2011, claims filed rose to 1.3 million, and VA expects
to process 1.2 million claims this year, reports Bergmann & Moore.
VA's challenge is of course due in large part to the enormous increase in post-traumatic stress disorder claims. From 2008 to 2012, the number of veterans compensated for PTSD increased by a whopping 64 percent.
PTSD, along with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), are the signature (but often invisible) wounds of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
The hope is that the funding increases and improvements in technology will reduce the inexcusably large disability claims backlog.
But as Bergmann & Moore points out, "VA has a long way to
go to reach its goals of having no claims pending more than 125 days and having a two
percent error rate by 2015. "
A long way to go, indeed. But at least this ship is no longer sinking. The agency finally appears to be headed in the right direction. But we shall see.

* Qatari PM says Syria not implementing peace plan
* Arab League may ask United Nations for help
* Opposition says Damascus deceiving monitors (Releads with closing statement)
By Yasmine Saleh and Ayman Samir
CAIRO, Jan 8 (Reuters) - The Arab League urged the Syrian government on Sunday to stop its violence against protesters and allow Arab monitors in the country to work more independently, but stopped short of asking for United Nations experts to bolster its peace mission.
The arrival last month of Arab monitors in Syria to see if the government was honouring a pledge to end a crackdown on a popular revolt has not ended the violence, in which the United Nations says more than 5,000 people have been killed.
After a progress meeting in Cairo on Sunday, the Arab League group on Syria said the government had only partly implemented a promise to stop the crackdown, free those jailed during the crisis and withdraw its troops from the cities.
In its closing communique, the League said it would increase the number of monitors from the present 165 and give them more resources, ignoring calls to end what pro-democracy campaigners say is a toothless mission that buys more time for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to suppress opponents.
Arab League officials said the continuation of the mission, which is due to make a full report on Jan. 19, depends on the Syrian government's commitment to ending violence and honouring its promises. Arab League foreign ministers will discuss the findings on Jan. 19-20.
"If the ... report comes out saying the violence has not stopped, the Arab League will have a responsibility to act on that ... We have to be clear and honest with the Syrian people," Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani told a news conference after the meeting.
He did not say what the Arab League might do, but Assad's failure to abide by the peace plan resulted in Syria's suspension from the 22-member regional body in November.
The Arab plan also called for Assad's government to permit peaceful protests, start dialogue with political opponents and allow foreign media to travel freely to the country. Syria agreed, but the pledge remains unfulfilled.
Qatar, which chairs the group and has been critical of the mission's performance, had proposed inviting U.N. technicians and human rights experts to help Arab monitors assess whether Syria was honouring its pledges. The League said it had not asked for monitors.
"We have not yet agreed to send individuals," Sheikh Hamad said. Asked if this could happen in the future, he said: "it depends on how events develop."
About 50 protesters gathered outside the Cairo hotel where the meeting was held, singing: "The people want the president dead" and "Down, down with Bashar". Some waved caricatures that likened Assad to a vampire sucking the the Syrian people's blood.
Syrian opposition activists criticised the Arab League's failure to take a firmer line against Assad.
"This is an Arab conspiracy, shame on them, shame on Qatar. Every day there are murders of women and kids, what shame," activist Ma'moun al Hamsy screamed as he entered the room at the end of the news conference.
Some Syrian opposition groups hope a failure of the mission might open the way to foreign military intervention like that which helped topple Libya's Muammar Gaddafi last year.
But Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby said that while the Syrian opposition had asked for the case to be referred to the U.N. Security Council, there was no international appetite for military intervention in Syria.
"We do not live in an ideal world and there is no country in the world that is willing to use force," he said. "The Arab countries are all very keen to ensure that the solution comes through an Arab framework and we are trying through all possible means to ensure this."
In Syria, security forces and pro-Assad militiamen killed seven people on Sunday in and around the central city of Homs, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Two civilians were killed by gunfire during a security sweep in the town of Zabadani, where clashes broke out between the military and army deserters, it said.
Another opposition organisation, the Local Coordination Committees, put Sunday's death toll at 14, including 10 in Homs.
The Free Syrian Army, an armed opposition force composed mainly of army deserters, has joined the 10-month revolt, which has turned increasingly violent. The government says "terrorists" have killed 2,000 members of the security forces during the uprising.
The Arab League communique called on the Syrian opposition to present its political vision for the country's future, and asked the League's secretary general to convene a Syrian opposition meeting.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Coming off a big win against Pepperdine last Thursday, Santa Clara completed their sweep of the WCC's top two teams Saturday afternoon with a convincing 71-58 victory over the first-place Loyola Marymount Lions. With the win at the Leavey Center the Broncos snapped the Lions' eight-game winning streak.
"These were two huge wins for us this weekend," said Santa Clara head coach Michelle Bento-Jackson, referring to Thursday's win against Pepperdine as well. "The most important thing is that we played with a lot of intensity and did a great job on rebounds in both games. It sent a message to our team that when our defense is on point like it was today, we will win games."
Kasey Monteith turned in a dominating performance for the Broncos (9-9, 3-2 WCC) as she tied career-highs with 16 points and nine rebounds while shooting 8-of-13 from the field. Monteith's effectiveness in the paint and on the boards helped the Broncos not only control the flow of the game but also to prevent the Lions (11-8, 5-1 WCC) from mounting a serious comeback, as the SCU lead never got to under eight in the last 26 minutes of the contest.
"Kasey's performance was huge for us today," Bento-Jackson noted. "With two post players out of today's game, we needed big performances from Kasey and Claire [Goins] and we got them. Kasey's focus began this morning when she came in to look at film and she went out there today and just steppede up for us."
Michelle Cozad paced the Broncos with her second double-double in as many games, scoring 25 and grabbing 11 rebounds in the win.
The game took off running. Within the first few minutes the Broncos went ahead and continued to pull away with lofty three pointers and aggressive rebounds. Kayla Huss, Anna Martin and Cozad all hit their first three-point attempts to give Santa Clara an early 9-7 lead, and from there SCU never trailed the rest of the way.
On the strength of eight points each from Monteith and Cozad and six from Tracey Walker, Santa Clara went into the locker room at the break with a 12-point lead at 37-25.
In contrast to their last two games, the Broncos were the hot team at the onset of the second half, riding six points from Monteith to a 13-4 run and a 50-29 lead with 15:46 left.
The Santa Clara lead got as large as 21 points at 54-33 before the Lions managed to cut the deficit to eight with four and a half minutes to play. Bianca and Rachel Ziemann accounted for 13 points during this run, but the Broncos buckled down and brought their lead back to double-digits following a pair of Cozad free throws 30 seconds later. From there SCU's staunch defensive effort stalled the Lion attack and vaulted the team to victory and second-place in the WCC.
The Broncos will now hit the road next weekend for two important games, first traveling an hour up the road to battle the San Francisco Dons Thursday night at 7 p.m. Santa Clara will then fly to the southern half of the state for a rematch against the Toreros of San Diego Saturday at 2 p.m.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Ten children in the favela of Nova Holanda, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were given cameras during human rights workshops. They introduce us to their families, their communities, show us how they play, learn and celebrate– all filmed with a charm and casualness despite the harsh reality of favela life. We meet the characters that make up their everyday world – from the mailman, to store owners, people on doorsteps and a small boxing gym that creates a safe place for children in the community: Luta Pela Paz.
Luta Pela Paz, which translates into 'Fight for Peace', is an after school program that aims to provide a safe place for youth to seek out new paths in life and alternatives to the drug trade. Luta Pela Paz also acts as a nodal point between the informal and the formal city and opens up conceptual paths and provides new possibilities for youth to break down historical barriers between their favela community and the formal city that surrounds them.
The edges and borders between the different districts of Maré, although not visible, are intrinsically obvious for the children that grow up here. Their lives may be threatened if they walk into the wrong neighborhood just a few blocks from where they live and they are often subject to discrimination and violence outside of their favela communities.

Working across diverse media such as video, photography and drawing, Tejal Shah positions her work within feminist and queer politics. She is currently interested in the intersections of art, ecology and spiritual consciousness. Her works also focuses on topics of body, gender and natureculture while challenging normative social hegemonies. We are delighted to present the expanded version of Tejal Shah's work produced for dOCUMENTA (13). In addition to the film, the show will include new mixed media collages, photographs and drawings. The project is no vast sanctuary of shimmering waters and its ensuing crests and troughs, as the title suggests, but intimates a quake. The quietness of the title belies the velocity of the "Love waves" that ripple across the surface of the landscapes contained by this work. In the torn up nature humanimal unicorn characters engage in bizarre rituals.

I have literally no pictures of day 2.
The reason I have no pictures of day 2 is that we were cold, and tired, and sore, and then it started raining. Still, we met some really cool people at the shelter the night before and were ready to go our requisite 8 miles to the next shelter that day.
It started out beautifully. Lovely, easy hiking. And then we went up a huge hill that was covered in boulders top to bottom. It was really hard. The 2nd half of the trail that day was much nicer, but that's when the rain started.
The boys did great. Really and truly great. Lilyanna did great, too, but with significantly more whining. The boys took off ahead of us at some point with the instructions to find the shelter and get set up and then head back to help with their sister. While it was just Lilyanna and I, we took A LOT of breaks. Breaks seem like a nice idea except when you're wearing a really heavy backpack. And my pack was heavier that day because I had lightened some of Benjamin's load from the day before.
Also, while I'm sure nobody wants to hear about this, I was also dealing with some major feminine hygiene issues throughout the whole thing. Basically, I learned in great detail what NOT to do.
Anyway, around mile 6 that day and in the rain sat down and refused to go another step. Just refused. There was weeping and wailing and howling and gnashing of teeth. I finally asked if she wanted to go home the next day. She jumped up said, "Yes, Mommy, thank you!" and practically ran the remaining miles to the shelter for that night.
When we arrived, we found quite the crowd of friendly people already set up, but they made room for us and helped us get our dinner together quickly before it got too dark. Lilyanna made friends with the only other girl there (she was in her late 20s, but Lilyanna was feeling desperate for some girl time. The AT was a little too male-centric for her tastes.) She also announced to anyone who would listen, "Hi! I'm Lilyanna! We're backpacking, but I hate it! I just want to go back to the cheap motel and watch Food Network. I don't ever want to go backpacking again!" She said it all so cheerfully, though. Poor traumatized child.
It was at this point that Benjamin was suddenly super in to the whole idea of backpacking since he'd been talking shop with the fellow backpackers at the shelter. Nothing like war stories and comeraderie to inspire a surly teenager. ;)
When we woke in the morning, we took our time with breakfast, gave food away to those who would still be continuing on for a few more days. Gave information to the ones who were heading north where we'd already traveled, and called for the shuttle to come pick us up. We filled up our water bottles at the spring and hiked an easy mile to the highway to get picked up.
The weather was glorious. And we were sore, but everyone was in good spirits.
I reminded myself that I wasn't a total failure. The dream of hiking the whole state was mine, not my children's, and we'd accomplished quite a bit. We were also better prepared for next time. Though my kids swear there won't be a next time, I'd like to go down to finish the state of MD and WV, perhaps in the fall. I'll take whomever wants to come with me.
My 5 year old hiked 18 miles in 2 days. She rocks. (Even if there was lots of whining while she did it.)
|Lilyanna crawled into her sleeping bag as soon as we arrived at the shelter on day 2. She ate both dinner and breakfast in "bed".
Waiting for the shuttle at the trail head. Everybody feeling very chill knowing that they were "supposed" to be walking 10 miles that day.
|Favorite game? Wait until Nathaniel is sitting down. When he asks for food, throw it just out of reach and watch him flail a lot trying to grab it without taking off the pack or standing again. (Seriously. I wish I had video. It was hysterical!)
|This is the only photographic evidence that I was even on this hike. 1 picture.
All in all, I'm really glad we did it. We have some really fun memories and stories, and my kids know that they can do hard things. I'll force them into doing it again sometime soon, but I'll let them forget a little bit more first. ;)

The state of Utah has approved McGraw-Hill Education's ALEKS system for middle and high school math and has made it eligible for grants through Utah's STEM Action Center.
ALEKS is a Common Core-aligned adaptive learning tool for mathematics that's designed to facilitate differentiated/personalized instruction.
Utah is providing $8 million in grants for the 2014-2015 school year through the STEM Action Center, which is operated under the auspices of the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development. Those funds can be used to purchase tools that have been approved by the center.
"Proficiency in math is a precursor to some of the most exciting careers available to students after both high school and college," said Peter Cohen, president of McGraw-Hill School Education Group, in a prepared statement. "One of the biggest challenges, however, is making sure that the math curriculum is appropriate for the individual student—not too easy, not too challenging. ALEKS helps teachers efficiently pinpoint exactly what their students know now and what they are ready to tackle next, making class time more effective and engaging. We're proud that Utah has selected ALEKS for such an important initiative."

Spondylurus nitidus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Spondylurus nitidus (Garman, 1887)
Common Name(s):
Mabuia nitida Garman, 1887
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Hedges, S.B. and Conn, C.E. 2012. A new skink fauna from Caribbean islands (Squamata, Mabuyidae, Mabuyinae). Zootaxa 3288: 1-244.
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Mabuya nitidus was removed from long synonymy with Mabuya sloanii by Hedges and Conn (2012), who redescribed this species and assigned it to Spondylurus. S. nitidus, which was at the time known only from historical material, was not included in these authors' genetic analysis, however molecular work has since confirmed its specific validity (S.B. Hedges, unpubl. data). The identity of a presumably extinct skink from Vieques is unknown, as several species are now known to occur in Puerto Rico (Hedges and Conn 2012). It may have been a population of S. nitidus or S. culebrae (or even the Virgin Islands endemic S. sloanii) (Hedges and Conn 2012), however the possibility also exists that the report referred to a species endemic to Vieques (Hedges and Conn 2012). A reference to mabuyine skinks being "relatively common" on Vieques (Rivero 1998), is thought likely to be in error, as no specimens exist or have been reported in extensive recent surveys, and mabuyine skinks were unknown to the island's inhabitants in 1931 (Hedges and Conn 2012). Genetic research is needed to clarify the appropriate taxonomic status of populations from islands off Puerto Rico (Hedges and Conn 2012).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(i,ii,v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Hedges, B.
|Bowles, P.
Listed as Endangered on the basis that this species has an estimated extent of occurrence of approximately 750 km2, it occurs as a severely fragmented population, and is subject to a continuing (but not presently quantifiable) decline in the number of mature individuals, and presumably in its extent of occurrence and area of occupancy, mainly as a result of predation by introduced mongoose. Recent surveys across much of Puerto Rico have recorded this species only in one locality and further research into its distribution and rates of population decline may justify listing this species as Critically Endangered.
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to Puerto Rico, occurring on the main island and the satellite islands Cayo Luis Peña, Cayo Norte, Culebra, and Icacos (Hedges and Conn 2012). A literature record exists from the satellite island Desecheo (Hedges and Conn 2012). In Puerto Rico itself, it has been reported from several localities close to and along the island's northern and southern coasts (Hedges and Conn 2012). A recent report from Guajataca State Forest in the island's northwest is at 221 m asl. (Sanchez 2013). It may occur slightly more widely in the Quebradillas area (where Guajataca is located) based on anecdotal observations, however recent surveys in several other parts of the island have failed to record it (A. Sanchez pers. comm. 2013). It has an estimated extent of occurrence of approximately 750 km2.

|This species appears to be rare - intensive herpetological survey efforts over the past fifty years have yielded only a few specimens, and few specimens could be located in museum collections (Hedges and Conn 2012). The population appears to be declining and severely fragmented, primarily due to introduced predators, and to a lesser extent also habitat loss.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species has been described as favouring dense clumps of Opuntia cacti as shelter sites and as exhibiting an association with arid and semi-arid areas (Hedges and Conn 2012 and refs therein). Most specimens have been taken from rock fissures, beneath rocks or cacti, or at the base of coconut palms (Rivero 1998). By contrast, Sanchez (2013) recorded the species from humid limestone forest, where it was typically active in the morning and basking on exposed rocks, leaf litter or fallen logs. On Desecheo (where only Spondylurus nitidus occurs), it appears to preferentially emerge from shelter sites on cloudy days (Rivero 1998), although this too appears not to be the case for recently-reported S. nitidus from the main island (Sanchez 2013). It is a viviparous species, and one female was found to contain two developing young (Hedges and Conn 2012).
|Use and Trade:
|There is no known use or trade in this species.
|Major Threat(s):
|Declines in this species are thought likely to be the result of predation by introduced mongoose, responsible for declines and extinctions in lizards elsewhere in the Caribbean (Hedges and Conn 2012). The mongoose was probably introduced to Puerto Rico in the late 19th Century; at the same time it was introduced to many smaller islands in the Caribbean, coincident with the last known records of several skink species (Hedges and Conn 2012). An enigmatic skink possibly conspecific with Spondylurus nitidus was reported from Vieques in 1868 but by 1931, following mongoose introduction, it was absent and local residents were unfamiliar with it (Hedges and Conn 2012 and refs therein). Sanchez (2013) reports that mongoose were not observed at the Guajataca State Forest, despite repeated surveys since September 2011, which may explain the skink's continued survival and apparent relative abundance at this locality. The species faces secondary pressures from other exotic mammals, mainly black rats that are ubiquitous in all habitats and elevations in Puerto Rico, and possibly from habitat conversion due to urbanization and agricultural expansion (Hedges and Conn 2012).
|Conservation Actions:
|This species is found in a number of protected areas, however as it faces threats primarily from invasive mammals these offer no effective protection and no other conservation measures are in place to protect this skink (Hedges and Conn 2012). Hedges and Conn (2012) propose captive breeding on the basis that invasive mammals are impossible to eradicate from an island as large as Puerto Rico, and with the recent discovery of a surviving wild population (Sanchez 2013) this action should be considered a priority. While the genetic validity of this species has recently been confirmed (S.B. Hedges pers. comm. 2013), further research may be required to verify the status of populations on offshore islands (Hedges and Conn 2012).

Consumer Report's annual carrier assessment has just been released, detailing the best, and worst, of cellular carriers in the US.
This year's report isn't likely to surprise anyone; it's right in line with how things have been playing out for several years now. AT&T was ranked as the worst carrier in the US as far as voice, data and text quality are concerned. Ma Bell did manage to take first place when it comes to LTE networks, but Verizon took the overall top spot as the best carrier in the US.
Sprint and T-Mobile both found their spot right around the low-end of the quality spectrum.
As with most reports like this, personal experience makes up a huge part of the equation. Here in mid-Michigan, all four national carriers and even some regional carriers offer great service. What about your area? Does Verizon reign supreme, or has a different carrier taken the top spot in your book?

David Haddad was attacked and beaten at the school.
The lawsuit claims the principal ignored repeated complaints that the teen was being tormented and bullied.
Some chatter Monday at Lake Central High School in St John was about a fight last week. Teens scuffling at school may not be news. But it is alleged the fight culminated a year of bullying and ethnic slurs.
"This is painful. They called him terrorist. They said, 'We killed your uncle, bin Laden.' We have nothing to do with that. We are good Americans, like everybody," said father Osama Haddad.
The parents of David Haddad filed a lawsuit Monday against the school district and administrators for negligence and violating Haddad's civil rights by not intervening after previous incidents.
"Children need to be safe in school. They can't learn in an environment of fear and anxiety. This kind of thing just should not happen at school," said Haddad's attorney Kenneth Allen.
Haddad's mother, who is a nurse, said he has bruises on his face, head and scratches on his neck, and he is being treated for a traumatic brain injury. He is also having trouble with his vision and balance.
"He took his hoodie, covered his face, and they were just punching him," said Hind Haddad, David's mother.
Haddad has apparently being getting a lot of attention for his rapping. Haddad's attorney said, as he got more attention, the tension grew at school.
Some students tell ABC7 there was a group of students that didn't like Haddad's videos and it was those students involved in the incident.
Many at the school Monday were surprised about the fight and lawsuit.
Neither the school's principal nor the district's superintendent responded to requests for comment.

|Indo-Parthian king
Coin of Gondophares
|c. 20 BC – c. 10 BC
|House of Suren
|Zoroastrianism[citation needed]
Gondophares I was the founder of the Indo-Parthian Kingdom in western Pakistan.[1] He seems to have ruled c. 20–10 BC according to modern research.[2] However, Bopearachchi gives a later timeframe of 21–40 AD for his rule.[3] He was originally likely a relative or vassal of the Apracas, ruling in Apracapura (Bajaur, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa-Pakistan) and down in to Sistan (Balochistan).
Gondophares I has traditionally been given a later date; the reign of one king calling himself Gondophares has been established at 20 AD by the rock inscription he set up at Takht-i-Bahi near Mardan, Pakistan, in 46 AD.,[4] and he has also been connected with the third-century Acts of Thomas. Recent research has however shown unambiguously that "Gondophares" was a title held by many kings; none of the ancient inscriptions or sources could be specifically connected with the first Gondophares, and numismatic indications strongly suggest that Gondophares I was earlier than these events.[citation needed]
Gondophares I took over the Kabul valley and the Punjab and Sindh region area from the Scythian king Azes. In reality, a number of vassal rulers seem to have switched allegiance from the Indo-Scythians to Gondophares I. His empire was vast, but was only a loose framework, which fragmented soon after his death. His capital was the Gandharan city of Taxila.[5] Taxila is located in Punjab to the west of the present Islamabad. Ernst Herzfeld claims his name is perpetuated in the name of the Afghan city Kandahar, which he founded under the name Gundopharron.[6]
The name also occurs in Avestic Old Iranian as Vindafarna "May he find glory."[1] In old Armenian, it is "Gastaphar". "Gundaparnah" was apparently the Eastern Iranian form of the name. [7]
On the coins of Gondophares, the royal names are Iranian, but the other legends of the coins are in Greek and Kharoṣṭhī.
Ernst Herzfeld maintained that the dynasty of Gondophares represented the House of Suren.[8]
The Biblical Magus "Gaspar"[edit]
The name of Gondophares was translated in Armenian in "Gastaphar", and then in Western languages into "Gaspar[d]". He may be the "Gaspar[d], King of Persia", who, according to apocryphal texts and eastern Christian tradition, was one of the three Biblical Magi who attended the birth of Christ.[9] Through this interaction and association, Gaspar[d] was adopted by the Europeans (and in Western tradition) as a male first name.
Connection with Saint Thomas and Apollonius of Tyana[edit]
The apocryphical Acts of Thomas mentions one king Gudnaphar. This king has been associated with Gondophares I by many scholars, as it was not yet established that there were several kings with the same name. Richard N. Frye, Emeritus Professor of Iranian Studies at Harvard University, has noted that this ruler has been identified with a king called Caspar in the Christian tradition of the Apostle St Thomas and his visit to India.[10] Recent research by R.C. Senior shows with some certainty that the king who best fits these references was Gondophares-Sases, the fourth king using the title Gondophares.[11]
A. D. H. Bivar, writing in The Cambridge History of Iran, said that the reign dates of one Gondophares recorded in the Takht-i Bahi inscription (20–46 or later AD) are consistent with the dates given in the Apocryphal Acts of Thomas for the Apostle's voyage to India following the Crucifixion in c. 30 AD.[12][13] B. N. Puri, of the Department of Ancient Indian History and Archaeology, University of Lucknow, India, also identified Gondophares with the ruler said to have been converted by Saint Thomas the Apostle.[14] The same goes for the reference to an Indo-Parthian king in the accounts of the life of Apollonius of Tyana. Puri says that the dates given by Philostratus in his Life of Apollonius of Tyana for Apollonius' visit to Taxila, 43–44 AD, are within the period of the reign of Gondophares I, who also went by the Parthian name, Phraotes.[15] Saint Thomas was brought before King Gundaphar (Gondophares) at his capital, Taxila.[16] "Taxila" is the Greek form of the contemporary Pali name for the city, "Takkasila", from the Sanskrit "Taksha-sila". The name of the city was transformed in subsequent legends concerning Thomas, which were consolidated into the Historia Trium Regum (History of the Three Kings) by John of Hildesheim (1364–1375), into "Silla", "Egrisilla", "Grisculla", and so on,[17] the name having undergone a process of metamorphosis similar to that which transformed "Vindapharnah" (Gondophares) to "Caspar". Hildesheim's Historia Trium Regum says: "In the third India is the kingdom of Tharsis, which at that time was ruled over by King Caspar, who offered incense to our Lord. The famous island Eyrisoulla [or Egrocilla] lies in this land: it is there that the holy apostle St Thomas is buried".[18] "Egrisilla" appears on the globe made in Nuremberg by Martin Behaim in 1492, where it appears on the southernmost part of the peninsula of Hoch India, "High India" or "India Superior", on the eastern side of the Sinus Magnus ("Great Gulf", the Gulf of Thailand): there Egrisilla is identified with the inscription, das lant wird genant egtisilla, ("the land called Egrisilla"). In his study of Behaim's globe, E. G. Ravenstein noted: "Egtisilla, or Eyrisculla [or Egrisilla: the letters "r" and "t" in the script on the globe look similar], is referred to in John of Hildesheim's version of the 'Three Kings' as an island where St. Thomas lies buried".[19]

When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sister Island, she believes that she's finally found a refuge from her abusive husband – and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago… But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore cafe – and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd.
But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him, for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep her past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.
Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers under a terrible curse – one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women – and the nightmares of the past haunting her every step – she must find the power to save her home, her love…and herself…
I'm going through this romance phase. And what better way to enjoy it then with some of my favorite Nora Roberts books? Revisiting an old favorite is always time well spent.

Roche seeks Avastin cervical-cancer indication
Roche scored the FDA's Priority Review label for its billion-dollar drug Avastin for use among patients with persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer, when paired with chemotherapy.
The Priority Review means the supplemental Biologics License Application request will get a speedier ride through the Food and Drug Administration's review process, based on the regulator's assessment that the drug treatment can provide a significant improvement in safety and effectiveness over what's already on the market.
Roche's subsidiary Genentech noted in its Monday announcement that the trials supporting the Priority label showed an improvement in overall survival rates, with Avastin/chemotherapy patients cutting their risk of death by 29% compared to chemotherapy-only patients. Avastin patients also lived longer without disease progression, at a median of 8.2 months, compared to 5.9 months among patients receiving only chemotherapy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that all women are at risk for cervical cancer, and it typically affects women who are at least 30 years old. The CDC notes that screening and treatment have helped chip away at the mortality rates, but it still killed close to 4,000 women in 2010, which is the CDC's latest count.
An expanded indication could further Avastin's financial appeal—the drug brought in close to $7 billion in sales for Roche last year. An approval would also continue the company's push to keep Avastin cancer-centric, since recent chatter about the drug and its manufacturer have been about the company's resistance to seeking out ophthalmologic indications so it could officially compete against the higher-priced Lucentis, which is also made by Roche.
Lucentis, which is indicated for wet age-related macular degeneration, macular edema following retinal vein occlusion and diabetic macular edema added close to $1.9 billion to Roche's 2013 sales totals, a 15% increase over 2012.

Oh those horrible bills. We love doing the legal work…but dread sending out the bills. The only task worse than billing is actually reminding clients to pay the bills.
Did you ever think of remaking your bills into a marketing tool?  Your legal bills can be a platform for demonstrating your value to your client through an impressive description of the services rendered.
Quick tips:
1.  Describe the legal work succinctly but fully enough to show your firm's thoroughness. Help the client understand what he is paying for: your expertise.
2. Highlight the problems that you solved, noting that they are resolved.
3.  List any complimentary services, such as "10 minute conference call on 7-1-06: No charge." Â
4. Do not charge for anything that did not convey real value. For example, do not charge for introductory "meet and greet" sessions.
5. Identify any unresolved issues that need more attention, such as: "Initial teleconference about potential Indonesian trademark issue, and need for further discussions on matter." This will remind client to pursue the matter with you–and also give you an excuse to follow up with the client directly about it.
6. Whenever possible, reduce any charges for expenses like faxes and couriers. Clients often resent paying for expenses, especially if lawyers use them as "profit centers".
7. Be sure and use the billing format that the client prefers, and send the bill to the correct recipient. Incredibly, lawyers often overlook these details. Call the client to confirm these details if you are not sure.
8. Do not include surprise charges or expenses without alerting the client to these first in person (best), by phone (second best) or email.

Gwenda Bond just sent me a news item about the Montana state spelling bee, which was won after 41 rounds with the winner correctly spelling the word mumpsimus.
Of course, we here at Mumpsimus Central are proud of our educational effect on the world, improving the spelling of readers far and wide.*
*Pronunciation is another thing entirely; I have discovered over the past few years that, despite its phoneticity, actually saying the word "mumpsimus" is quite difficult for most people. The Mumpsimus Guide to Proper Living suggests practicing the pronunciation of the word at least five times every morning and then five times before going to bed at night.
And, since we're here, the Mumpsimus Lawyer Cabal insists we note that the fact that one of our dearest of dear readers actually contracted the mumps this year has no direct relation to The Mumpsimus. Thank you for your support.
