You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
In the beginning, we had the World Wide Wait. We had browsers and Web servers, and not much else in between. While life on the Web was architecturally simple, there wasn't too much that we could do about improving the latency of our Web connections. When we wanted to view a particularly complex Web page, or one with lots of graphics, or one on a Web server in a far-flung corner of the world, we waited.
But the days of waiting are coming to a close, thanks to an array of caching technologies that deliver data faster to the impatient browsing public. And as corporate Web sites have evolved from a single, simple Web server into more complex architectures, the caching universe has expanded as well. In this article, the second in a series on new Web technologies for IT managers and intranets, we'll examine which of these approaches makes the most sense for different situations, and how these technologies fit into expanding Web applications infrastructures. We'll also explain how to improve the browsing experience for corporate users as well as for Web site visitors. The first article covered Web management tools and services. The next will examine the latest e-commerce payment processing products.
Caching is a relatively simple concept: You move content closer to the ultimate destination, removing delays in network latency, congested servers, and overloaded links and routers in the process. The ideal location for the best-performing cache is to place Web content on hard disks: If we could have one large enough to store the entire Web (or at least the Web sites that you might visit), we would never have to wait for a page to load ever again. However, disks aren't really practical. We would all have to have huge hard disks on our own desktops to contain the terabytes of Web content. The better practice, then, is to locate the cache on the big hard disks of servers on local area networks (LANs), and share this wealth among multiple users.
What you need to know
But there are lots of subtle issues behind this relatively simple concept. For instance, what happens if the page changes between the time you cache some content and you go to view it? Are there ways to store frequently used page elements that don't change often, such as logos, headers, and other graphics, while updating more dynamic content on the fly? Are you trying to save money by not having to buy additional outbound bandwidth from your corporation to the public Internet in addition to providing a better browsing experience for your end users?
Add to these issues the fact that many corporate Web sites have evolved from simple, single-server sites to more complex ones covering multiple sites and spanning several continents. To make matters worse, these complex servers have a wide array of data types, such as streaming media, Shockwave, and other animations, and run more sophisticated applications, such as secure credit card processing and dynamic database updates, than just serving up Web pages. Such applications as streaming media and e-commerce storefronts have different and more complex caching requirements than simple file services. This is because these applications have different sizes of data streams (think of a megabyte audio file next to several simple text labels) and pages with both static and dynamic elements pulled from multiple sources, including the Web, file servers, and databases.
The best caches need to understand how to implement the concept of content freshness, and keep track of when and how Web content changes. It also needs to examine how pages are constructed, and refresh only objects that change frequently. Caches have to understand how to find the location of your content and where your users are connecting to your servers from around the world. Some caches also act as proxy servers to control or conserve on outbound bandwidth, enabling multiple users to share a single Internet connection effectively. For example, let's say everyone in your workgroup connects to the New York Times Web site every morning to read the day's headlines. Rather than sending the same series of pages multiple times across the Internet from the Times' Web site to your company's desktops, you receive one version of these pages and share it among your workgroup.
There are four basic kinds of caching products and services. The newest entrants to this arena are caching services that are sold by application service providers. The other kinds are products, including that typically run on UNIX, prepackaged caching servers that combine caching software running on either UNIX or Novell Inc.'s NetWare with general-purpose server hardware, and specialty appliances that come designed just for caching.
Service providers
The first and newest caching category provides content distribution services to handle much more than caching. Service providers offer Web server reliability, peak load demand, and the geographic dispersion of the Web itself. These services mirror the trend toward more complex and distributed Web sites, where content may be located on different continents and on servers maintained by separate divisions. And just as your own Web sites might be more distributed, your visitors might also be coming from many remote corners of the world.
To handle both of these trends, vendors have come up with the concept of replicating your content and distributing it around the globe closer to the origins of potential site visitors. These service providers are building large, replicated data centers and high-speed network connections to the general Internet. The idea here is to ensure the browsing public will avoid congested network routes and peering points. These service providers include tools to manage how content is distributed and how to do load balancing during peak traffic times.
As you can imagine, this is a very expensive undertaking. However, the cost savings in terms of overseas bandwidth charges can be quite large as well, particularly for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) outside of North America that are servicing American content abroad. Some offshore ISPs estimate that between 30% and 50% of their overall traffic has North American destinations. The major players in this area include Digital Island Inc./Sandpiper Networks Inc., Akamai Technologies Inc., and Edgix Corp.
A variation on this theme is from SkyCache Inc. The company makes use of Inktomi Corp.'s server software but delivers content via a series of earth-orbiting satellites, bypassing the congested terrestrial Internet in the process. Users of this service need to install special rooftop dishes to communicate with their networks. Working with these service providers means making some changes to your existing ISP relationships. In some cases, such as with Akamai and Sandpiper, users will have to co-locate their Web servers at their data centers and add additional management software and tools to remotely manage these servers. In the case of SkyCache, users might need to upgrade routers and other network infrastructure devices to work with its networks.

Muskegon Heights privatizes some positions, saves $1.2 million
MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. — Muskegon Heights will save about $1.2 million this year and next after privatizing clerical workers, custodians and bus drivers, according to The Muskegon Chronicle.
The board also approved about $4 million in spending reductions, The Chronicle reported, although the district is still about $12 million in debt.
The board's vote came a week after district employees rejected a proposal that included a temporary 35 percent pay cut and larger employee contributions for benefits, according to The Chronicle.

Wenger rejects Pato, Morata rumours
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has rejected speculation the club could sign Alexandre Pato and Alvaro Morata in the January transfer window.
Despite Arsenal's strong start to the season which sees them top of the Premier League table, some have expressed concerns about their lack of striking depth beyond first-choice Olivier Giroud.
Corinthians' Pato and Real Madrid's Morata have both been linked with the Gunners this week, but Wenger insists there is nothing in the rumours.
"No, there's no truth in that," Wenger said at his pre-match news conference. "That's all I can say. I'm not in touch with them.
"I am not concerned about that [new signings]. We have at the moment Yaya Sanogo who is a striker we brought in during the summer, who is coming back from injury in January. Hopefully he will help us in the second part of the season."
Wenger suggested the club's record signing Mesut Ozil was among those who looked tired in Saturday's 3-0 win at Cardiff, with the Arsenal boss confirming he is intending to rotate his squad as he prepares for a month that will see side play seven Premier League games.
"I rotate considering the level of fatigue," he said. "We have some indications, some objective data and as well some positions where it's more demanding on the physical front than others.
"We have so many games that in some positions I will have to change; the full-back position is one that is very demanding. Central defence is a little bit less demanding on the physical side, it's more on the concentration side.
"When you play so many games of that intensity, we expect to lose one or two players. In every single game I [will rotate]. I try to limit the number because I do not want to disrupt the balance of the team, so I do that in every single game.
"Our strength this season is we really look like a team. You see every player is doing extremely well and I would praise all the team. Not just [Aaron] Ramsey, not anyone in particular.
"What we know is all the games we have coming up will have no meaning if we fail [against Hull]. This is why I say this is the most important game for us to think about."
Wenger confirmed that defender Bacary Sagna will miss the game against Hull as he nurses a hamstring problem, with Carl Jenkinson set to take his place.
There is some good news for the Arsenal boss as Germany forward Lukas Podolski is set to resume full training later this week.

366P - The impact of additional prognostic information obtained from Ki-67 changes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy varies in subtype of breast cancer
|29 September 2012
|ESMO Congress 2012
|Poster presentation I

A reduction in the Ki-67 index after neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been reported to be associated with a favorable prognosis. The present study investigates whether a reduction in Ki-67 may be a predictive surrogate marker of favorable prognosis in each subtype of breast cancer.Methods
A total of 385 patients who received neoadjuvant anthracycline followed by taxane chemotherapy and subsequent surgery for invasive breast cancer were analyzed retrospectively. By immunohistochemistry (IHC), patients were divided into 4 subtypes (Luminal A, Luminal B, Triple negative and HER2). Ki-67 was examined by IHC in pre-treatment core needle samples and post-treatment surgical excisional specimens. The relapse-free survival (RFS) rate was compared among each subtype.Results
The median follow-up period was 56 months. The rate of pathological complete response was higher for HER2 (34.8%) and Triple negative (24.3%) subtypes than for Luminal B (8.3%) and Luminal A (3.8%) subtypes (p < 0.0001). A reduction in Ki-67 was observed in 58.5%, 83.4%, 70.2% and 74.2% of patients in the Luminal A, Luminal B, Triple negative and HER2 subtypes, respectively. The differences in RFS between patients whose Ki-67 was reduced and those not reduced were statistically significant for Luminal B (81.4% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.003), Triple negative (74.8% vs. 43.5%, p = 0.003) and HER2 (82.7% vs. 59.0%, p = 0.008). However, for Luminal A, the difference in RFS was not observed depend on the changes of Ki-67 (78.8% vs. 75.3%, p = 0.78).Conclusions
The reduction in Ki-67 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a predictive surrogate marker of a favorable RFS. However, this conclusion could not be applied to Luminal A subtype.Disclosure

Codenamed Constantine, Fedora 12 is barely out the door. Yet already, Frields and the rest of Fedora's planners are thinking ahead to future releases.
"We've been giving some thought to ways that we can not only encourage new and different types of innovation, but also to make sure that we can provide the most stable environment for our contributors that's possible," Frields says. "At times, that can conflict with our desire to have the latest and greatest software, but I think that there are some ways that we might be able to move towards a more disciplined approach to our stable releases as well as Rawhide [the nightly development build].
Another area that the Fedora community hopes to improve is quality assurance. The hope is to automate it -- "to make sure that we are offloading as much work as possible to machines and are simply collecting reports on it," as Frields expresses the goal. "We're not yet taking advantage of all our tools as much as we could." In addition, new automated quality assurance tools are being developed, "so that, in the future, we should be able to concentrate on some ore subtle interactions and user-testing, and spend a little less time on things like running the installation tests."
On the desktop, Frields says, "We are trying to get a good idea of a user profile that makes sense for Fedora -- a user profile that is not necessarily an Everyman, but a user profile that is going to help us guide the decisions we make on processes and desktop design across the board."
This profile may be of most benefit to newer users, but Frields adds, "I really believe that there isn't a clear divide between very technical users and very non-technical users. I tend to think that the decisions we make to have a better, more polished Fedora benefit everybody. All of us are living in that environment day to day, so we really all benefit from decisions to polish."
Talking about the GNU/Linux desktop in general, Frields says, "We've known for a long time that Linux is sometimes rough for people to use. We also know that one of the old saws about the community is that we're really good at the first 80% and its the last 10-20% that we really need to improve. But I think that's well understood in the community. What matters is whether you're going to do something about it or not -- and, when you do it, the question is, 'Do you do it in a way that is beneficial to the whole open source community and is in keeping with the ideals of free software?' In the Fedora project, we take that very seriously. We take seriously our commitment not only to talk the talk, but walk the walk.
"We have an incredibly vibrant community that is growing all the time, we've got one of our best releases ever, and I think people ought to check it out. I can't tell you how often I've heard from people who tried Fedora in the past and maybe gone off it for one reason or the other. But I think people tend to think of a product that they used two or three years ago and not understand that open source moves very, very quickly. The distribution that you tried two years ago is not the same as it was. There's so many improvements both under and over the hood that I think it would behoove anyone to give it a try."
If anyone doesn't give the new release a try, Frields seems to imply, it won't be for the lack of an on-ramp to the Fedora Highway.

20 MAR 2014Saudi Arabia's national carrier will operate extra flights to Dubai from Riyadh and Jeddah
Jeddah, March 2014: flynas, Saudi Arabia's national carrier, has announced it will operate extra flights to Dubai during the school holidays. There will be two extra flights between Riyadh and Dubai starting from 18 to 29 March and two extra flights between Jeddah and Dubai on 23 and 30 March.
Commenting, Wael Al Sarhan, Director of Marketing & Communication, said: "Dubai is a strategically important market for flynas, especially during the school holidays when as there is a large number of Saudis fly to the hugely popular emirate for the annual spring break. Accordingly, we are adding the extra flights in response to strong demand from our customers at this peak time of the year."
In addition, flynas is operating extra daily flights between Riyadh and Gizan from 15 April to 25 October 2014; departing Riyadh at 17:10 arriving Gizan 19:05 and departing Gizan 19:40 arriving Riyadh 21:25.
This year, vacation travelers will benefit from the significant enhancements recently made by flynas. Passengers can now enjoy upgraded services aimed at enhancing their experience from booking right through to touch down. Adding more value to flynas' low-cost fares, all passengers can now enjoy free check-in baggage (20 kg) and pre-order meals online while making their booking. Furthermore, flynas has introduced a Business Class Cabin on its young fleet of 27 aircraft.
Building on the strong customer appeal and high trust amongst passengers inside and outside Saudi Arabia, flynas unveiled its new modern identity towards the end of last year as a key part of the airline's growth strategy targeting 20 million passengers a year by 2020.

Steve Galluccio started his career in the Montreal underground theatre scene in 1990. He burst into the mainstream with Mambo Italiano, one of the most successful plays in Canadian theatre history. The play was turned into a movie which became an international hit, sold in more than fifty-three countries, including the U.S. Galluccio followed Mambo with the Gemini Award-winning TV series Ciao Bella. Ciao Bella was also broadcast in Europe and the United States. Galluccio's second feature film Surviving My Mother won the audience favourite award at the Montreal Film Festival, and was featured in many prestigious film festivals all over the world. Galluccio's third feature, the bilingual Funkytown opened in January 2011. In Piazza San Domenico, Galluccio's ninth play, was the number one comedy in Montreal in the fall of 2009, selling out most of its extended run. In 2012, Galluccio released Montréal à la Galluccio, a whimsical guide of his beloved hometown of Montreal.

QUOTES OF NOTEThe St. Leonard Chronicles
"After Galluccio's play Mambo Italiano became the most successful local English-language play from Montreal in almost half as century – and the most successful ever in the history of the Centaur Theatre – The St. Leonard Chronicles quickly became the second-most successful."
– Montreal Gazette
"Full of crowd-pleasing, hyper-local jokes – mostly about Montreal's Italian communities, which encompass Galluccio's biggest fans. There are gags about awful homemade wine, family vacations to Wildwood on the Jersey Shore, and rivalries between neighbourhoods such as Little Italy and Ville Émard (which here gets insulted via a French scatological pun as "Ville à Marde")."
– Globe & Mail
"The St. Leonard Chronicles were like a great antipasto in a family-run restaurant in Little Italy. There was laughter and plenty of it as the young, yuppie couple in the play tries to announce that they wish to leave the enclaves of Italian life in St. Leonard and move to (gasp!) Beaconsfield … scandal for spice and finally a few tears to leaven the mix."
– RoverArts.com
QUOTES OF NOTEIn Piazza San Domenico
"In Piazza San Domenico is a downright crowd pleaser, a comedy for the masses. As happens very rarely in Montreal theatre, this is a show that can break out of our incestuous little theatrical community past those audience members dying to point out a deus ex machina ending or a character's lack of motivation, and fulfill the one purpose a comedy was designed for in the beginning: entertainment."
—The Warehouse
"Three cheers for light-hearted entertainment! Billed as a romantic comedy inspired by Feydeau, Goldoni and Sophia Loren, it bears the mark of all three, with a dash of trademark Galluccio."
—Montreal Gazette
"In Piazza San Domenico harkens to classic Shakespearian comedies."
—The Suburban
QUOTES OF NOTEMambo Italiano
"Manages to combine the sentimental, the silly and the sexy"
— Toronto Star

Monitors call early stop to Imbruvica CLL trial
A Phase-III trial of Janssen and Pharmacyclics' Imbruvica (ibrutinib) testing an expanded use for the drug, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), was stopped early on the recommendation of an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). Monitors said the drug had already met its primary endpoint and a key secondary one: statistically significant improvement in progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Janssen and Pharmcyclics—who signed a collaborative agreement in December 2011 to co-develop and market the drug—said data from the trial will be presented at an upcoming oncology conference. Pharmacyclics has informed FDA of this data; Janssen has informed the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Imbruvica was approved in November for treating mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), after receiving priority review in July of last year. Analysts have said the drug could reach billions in annual sales, owing to its oral formulation and potential to be used without chemo, traits that have drawn comparisons to Novartis's blockbuster leukemia pill Gleevec.

D'Angelo Album Update: '99 Percent Done'
Says Questlove.
In December 2011, D'Angelo's comeback album was "pretty much 97 percent done," per Questlove. Here, in January 2013, the record at least thirteen years in the making is now 99 percent done, again per Questlove. Longest. Two percent. Ever. But it should be worth it! "I would not be far off by saying this is probably my generation's version of Sly [and the Family Stone]'s There's a Riot Goin' On. It's potent. It's funky. It's an extremely hard pill to swallow," Questo tells Billboard. "It's going to take you about ten years to digest this record. Totally brilliant. Just the way this society works with music … being able to judge if something is a classic after the first listen, you can do that after thirty seconds on this." He also says if the album isn't handed to the label by February, "then something is extremely wrong. Because we worked to the bone in the entire month of January just to tighten up all the loose ends." Bear in mind, "turned in to the label" does not equal "released for everyone to love forever," but still ... !

Pat Summitt now has 1,000 victories, an unprecedented height even she finds dizzying.
"It's a hard number to even comprehend," the Tennessee coach said.
Summitt became the first Division I basketball coach -- men's or women's -- to win 1,000 career games as her 12th-ranked Lady Vols beat Georgia 73-43 tonight. It was their second chance in four days at giving their coach her latest and one of her greatest milestones.
These baby Lady Vols (17-5, 6-2 Southeastern Conference), with seven freshmen on the roster, are nothing like the squads that brought Summitt her seventh and eighth national championships in the previous two seasons. This is an inexperienced group that had Summitt joking about whether they would even be up to the task of winning the 17 games she needed to reach 1,000 this season.

Strategic Plan: Efficiency and effectiveness
BBSRC is committed to utilising resources effectively and responsibly to maximise funding for science.
BBSRC deploys funding with maximum effectiveness and will maintain a comprehensive resource management framework. Our plans for efficiency and effectiveness cover three distinct areas:
BBSRC provides strategic funding to eight institutes. Working in partnership with institute governing bodies and executive staff BBSRC will promote high standards of accountability, propriety and efficient use of resources. This will be achieved through:
- Embedding the new governance and partnership arrangements and sharing best practice in areas such as human resources strategy and management
- Annual monitoring of progress on institute strategic programmes and associated funding streams
- Promoting increased utilisation of equipment and other assets through greater sharing and making access available to other organisations, on and off campus
- Detailed assessment of each institute's science and associated activities (such as knowledge exchange, training and leadership, public engagement) every five years
- Institutes working together and/or with other partners to harmonise and share resources
- Enhancing energy efficiency through the application of BREEAM standards
Although the Higher Education Funding Councils have the sponsorship responsibility for the HE sector, we take steps to ensure that the two thirds of our resources invested in universities are used for the intended purposes and in a manner that is efficient and accountable. This will be achieved by:
- Working closely within RCUK to harmonise the interface with universities
- Maintaining clear and largely common Research Council conditions attached to funding
- Visits to universities to validate use of funds and operation of best practice
- Promoting collaboration and strategic partnerships with key universities and institutes
Effective and efficient administration will be achieved by:
- Increased collaboration and merging of support activities with other Research Councils, largely through the UK SBS, with emphasis on a more harmonised interface for stakeholders
- Development of detailed delivery plans to define the full range of actions that flow from this Strategic Plan
- Maintaining contact with industry, Government, universities and institutes to review strategies and plans on a regular basis
- Ensuring that funding opportunities are communicated widely and applications processed on a fair and timely basis using effective and efficient peer review procedures
- Implementing enhanced information systems to support the above activities

Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) September 21, 2011
In a bustling city like Chicago, where the trains come in like a perpetual tide, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is an expert on managing the timely arrivals and departures of thousands of trains. With high commuter traffic and people on tighter schedules, the CTA has recognized an opportunity to revitalize their stations with retail locations. This revitalization offers Maui Wowi Hawaiian, http://www.mauiwowifranchise.com, a gourmet Hawaiian coffee and fresh fruit smoothie company, the opportunity of occupying one of the 137 concession spaces.
In 2009, when the CTA issued a bid for concessions at the Belmont station, Maui Wowi Operator Priscilla Taylor, jumped at the chance. Her persistence and dedication paid off and she was awarded a coveted location on the Red Line stop.
Priscilla is set to begin brewing and blending the 'Aloha Spirit' at her new Maui Wowi Hawaiian location in mid-September. "I am thrilled to be a part of this great community and the CTA 'Ohana (family). The relationship we have built with CTA is something we will nurture and are grateful to be a part of," said Priscilla. "We can't wait to bring the Hawaiian flavor and island attitude to the Lakeview community. We are happy to be there."
With 21 years of experience in corporate America as a Research and Development Manager, she decided it was time to seek a more fulfilling future. "I did everything I could have done in that field. It finally occurred to me to look into owning my own business," said Priscilla. After attending a seminar and meeting with a franchise consultant, she decided that Maui Wowi Hawaiian was a perfect fit. "The island appeal immediately resonated with me. I liked the laid back lifestyle but more important were the healthy products offered and a long time proven system," said Priscilla.
The Belmont Station serves the Red, Brown and Purple Evanston Express lines, which averages two million commuters a month and is one of the busier stops with three trains that converge there. Whether you are commuting to work or school, getting your Maui Wowi fix of gourmet Hawaiian coffee or a fresh fruit smoothie will become much more convenient.
About Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees & Smoothies:
Before the days of big Hawaiian resort hotels and fiberglass surfboards, surfers spent long, lazy days partaking in the tasty waves of the North Shore beaches. As the legends of the surfers grew, many were drawn to the healthy, carefree lifestyle of Hawaii. Since 1982, Maui Wowi Hawaiian has been spreading the 'Aloha Spirit' across the world with its premium Hawaiian coffees, all-natural fresh fruit smoothies and authentic Hawaiian products. From event carts, mall kiosks and stand-alone retail locations, Maui Wowi Hawaiian operates 575 locations worldwide.

Nice first-flick outing for this bulb-nosed girl. At :23:30-:25:25, Dawn is naked, lying back in a garden hot tub alone, breasts seen above the water and with her legs spread. After some pleasuring of herself, she then moves to the side and humps one of the jets…breasts and ass seen in a fairly hot scene but one with less than ideal viewable nudity. At :30-:32:42, Dawn slips out of a dress in front of a guy revealing her breasts…nice natural jiggles and hanging views as she straddles on top of him. He flips her around, kisses her breasts, and doffs her panties revealing her clean-shaven pubis in a clear, well-lit view. He simu-orals her then does her from behind, seated facing and from behind bent over the back of the couch; Dawn delivers good breast, ass and pubis views. At 1:27:40-1:29:30, Dawn and Beverly emotionally connect over talking about problems then the two move to a f/f. After Bev doffs Dawn's top at 1:27:40, attractive Bev takes off her clothes, kisses and caresses Dawn's body until she quietly cums in an oversized loveseat…breasts and lower abdomen seen of Dawn in a scene which focuses primarily on Dawn.

Pentathlon Canada is the national sport organization that governs the sport of pentathlon in Canada. Pentathlon Canada is working to develop Canada's best pentathletes and to send these outstanding athletes to the world's stage.
Modern pentathlon was introduced as a new sport with the resurgence of the modern Olympics in the early 1900s. Pierre de Coubertin (the founder of the modern Olympics) selected pentathlon to mirror the ancient Greek pentathlon, which consisted of running, javelin, discus, long jump, and wrestling. The events chosen for modern pentathlon represent the diverse attributes of a Napoleonic officer, including:
Modern pentathlon is the only Olympic event that has had the International Olympic Committee as its governing body.
Modern pentathlon is five sports combined into four events, competed in the span of one day including:
Athletes move from one event to the next with a short break between. Pentathletes accumulate points in each event; the athlete with the most points at the end of the day wins.

Marines in Afghanistan honor brethren killed in helicopter crash, WHS grad
CAMP BASTIAN, Afghanistan - The Marines of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 filled the pews of a small chapel at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, today to bid farewell to six fallen brothers, including a Willis High School graduate.
In a somber scene, coalition forces gathered to memorialize the six Marines with the squadron who died Thursday when their CH-53D Sea Stallion heavy-lift helicopter crashed supporting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
During the ceremony's final roll call, Sgt. Maj. Mitchell Green, the squadron's sergeant major, called the names of the fallen - Capt. Daniel B. Bartle, a native of Ferndale, Wash.; Capt. Nathan R. McHone, from Crystal Lake, Ill.; Master Sgt. Travis Riddick, a native of Centerville, Iowa; Cpl. Joseph D. Logan, of Willis, Texas; Cpl. Kevin J. Reinhard, from Colonia, N.J.; and Cpl. Jesse W. Stites, who grew up in Roxana, Ill., and Interlachen, Fla.
"It is difficult to be here, easier to suppress our emotions and move on with our daily routine," Lt. Col. Mark Revor, commanding officer of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363, said in his remarks at the ceremony. "It is difficult because they were more than friends, more than family - they were our brothers and our comrades."
Logan, 22, was an aerial observer who joined Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 in May, according to a release from the Marine Corps Base in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Logan enlisted in the Marine Corps in November 2008, only months after graduating from Willis High School. This was his second deployment to Afghanistan, according to the press release.
A few hundred yards from the chapel, outside the squadron's hangar, the American flag flew at half-staff beside the squadron's sign depicting their logo "The Lucky Red Lions."
"It's hard to feel lucky today, but I know that I could not describe ([i)] better than to say I was lucky to serve with these men, lucky to have known them as well as I did," Revor said, "and I will be lucky indeed if I can brighten the days and nights of my friends the way that they brightened mine."
The squadron, deployed from Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, wields CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopters to provide heavy-lift capability to 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), moving cargo and troops across the battle space.
As the aviation combat element for the southwestern regional command of NATO's International Security Assistance Force, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) offers air support for coalition forces operating in Helmand and Nimruz provinces.
The Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 deployed in August for a seven-month tour to Afghanistan's southern Hemland province in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, said 1st Lt. Diann Olson, media office of the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii. This is the first casualty for Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363, which includes about 200 Marines and sailors.
When the squadron returns from its deployment in the spring, another memorial service will be scheduled at Marine Corps Base Hawaii for the families, Marines and sailors of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363, Olson said.
Logan's awards and honors include an Air Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and NATO ISAF Medal, The Courier previously reported.
Logan is survived by his wife, parents and siblings.
The family was unavailable for comment. Over the weekend, they went to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to accept Logan's body.
No funeral arrangements for Logan have been announced.
While Thursday's crash is currently under investigation, NATO officials said there were no signs of enemy activity in the area at the time of the incident.
"Every Marine in this squadron understands the dangers of our job, but that doesn't make it any easier when something like this happens," Green said. "People are shocked, people are upset and people are hurt. We still have a mission to do, and it's not done until we're heading back home to Hawaii."
The majority of this story was provided to The Courier by the Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System, which is a state-of-the-art, 24/7 operation that provides a timely, accurate and reliable connection between the media around the world and the military serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, according to www.dvidshub.net.

Mott started the toughest stretch of the 2014 schedule this afternoon in downtown Detroit, falling to Wayne County CC, 85-73. It was the Bears' second consecutive loss on the road to Wayne.
The Bears (11-3) led by five at the half but surrendered 50 points in the second half.
"We had a good first half and obviously got outplayed in the second," Mott head coach Steve Schmidt told MRSN Radio after the game. "We aren't in the type of shape we need to be in right now. We have work to do. They played with more intensity and heart."
Malik Albert and Marcus Johnson scored 20 apiece for Mott. Devin Foster and Jamal Reynolds added 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Albert, Mott's leading scorer, played big minutes in the first half and scored only one basket and four points in the second half.
"We depend on Malik a lot, but he just didn't have the energy in the second half," Schmidt said.
Redshirt freshman William Abbott, a Detroit native, scored only four points in the game after three consecutive strong outings.
Mott fell victim to a quick whistle in the first half, and the trend continued throughout the game. Mott was whistled for 30 fouls in the game. Wayne (17 fouls) entered the bonus in the game's first five minutes.
Shaun Duncan led Wayne (9-2) with 20 points. The Wildcats have now won six consecutive games.
Mott will return to action at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday versus St. Clair.

The Most Coveted Toys of the '90s
Remember Moon Shoes, and how your mom wouldn't buy them for you no matter how clean you kept your room or how heavy the hints, not even for Christmas? I'm projecting here. I never had Moon Shoes, but I really, really wanted them. (Thanks, Mom.)
Clearly I wasn't the only kid longing for the ability to jump really high without a trampoline, because Buzzfeed has a roundup of highly coveted (but not often recieved) toys fromthe 90s, and Moon Shoes clock in at #4. Check out the rest, and seriously: someone please tell me if I missed out on something great here. Because I feel like Moon Shoes could have changed my life. Link

Volunteer Code of Conduct
As a Volunteer, Your Role and Responsibilities in the School Are Unique
The Bay City Public Schools Volunteer Program is not designed to supplement current programs or reduce staffing needs, but rather to compliment what is already in place. The Bay City Public School Volunteer further enhances the educational opportunities and experiences of the children within the school system.
He/she needs to be aware of the need for confidentiality in regard to any school/child related information and recognize that activities will be directed by the classroom teacher and for Volunteer Coordinator in accordance with all estabilshed educational policies and objectives. This program is an integral part of the Bay City Public Schoot District requiring dependability, cooperation and confidentiality on the part of the volunteer.
UNDERSTAND that your role is a supportive one. The teacher and principal are completely in charge. You must not be left in charge of a classroom.
REMEMBER volunteers are only permitted to work with students on school grounds and under the supervision of the public school staff.
MAINTAIN student confidentiality at all times. Do not discuss any student with anyone except teachers, counselors, and volunteer coordinators.
USE good judgment and avoid any compromising situations. Work in a room with other people at all times. Never be left alone with one student out of view of other people. Always keep the door open.
STRICTLY follow volunteer guidelines and discipline practices. Physical discipline is absolutely prohibited. Ask the teacher and volunteer coordinating staff for assistance with problematic student behavior.
TAKE PRIDE in Being Professional.
MAINTAIN a constructive attitude. Don't make negative comments about the school, its personnel, or the students to other volunteers or individuals outside the school.
BE PROMPT and consistent in your attendance. Teachers depend on volunteers and plan their work accordingly. Students depend on volunteers even more.
NOTIFY your school as soon as possible if you must be late or absent.
KEEP an accurate record of your attendance by signing in each day you volunteer.
ESTABLISH and maintain good and frequent communication with your classroom teacher.
NEVER be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Do not smoke on schoot grounds.
DO NOT use the Internet inappropriately by going to websites that are not conducive to a professional or educational environment.
ALERT school staff immediately if any student has an accident while working with you.
Please remember that you must complete screening requirements by filling out an application with a clearance of a background check before you can become a volunteer. The program/school reserves the right to discontinue your volunteer service for any cause.

Tom Allen, Mississippi Extension plant pathologist, has released an update on corn disease in the state.
"Increased observation of corn foliar diseases has occurred throughout the southern Delta over the past couple of weeks," writes Allen. "Much of the corn south of Highway 82 has either started to tassel or will be tasseling in the next seven to 10 days.
"First and foremost, I can't stress how important it is to determine the specific hybrid in each field. Knowing the particular disease package will help address whether or not a fungicide application might be beneficial. Most hybrids have good tolerance to foliar diseases; however, there are some in our corn production system that tend to be great yielders but have weak disease packages and may be predisposed to foliar diseases.
"Some defensive corn hybrids, with excellent disease packages, do a good job of keeping yield-limiting foliar diseases lower in the canopy (below the ear leaf) and only allow limited, single lesions to progress above the ear leaf.
"The more offensive hybrids, or 'race horse' hybrids, in most cases, have a weaker disease package and lesions can generally be observed all up and down the plant. Additional information regarding the general time of disease occurrence in corn can be found (here)."
Allen's full disease report can be read here.

Specific Heat Virtual Labs
Lesson 7 of 9
Objective: Students will be able to calculate the amount of Calories per gram of different foods and determine the specific heat capacity of various substances through performing two virtual labs.
Big Idea: Calorimetry experiments allow scientists to determine the Calories per gram of various foods and determine the specific heat capacities of substances.
In this lesson students use their knowledge about specific heat capacity and the equation of q=mct to perform two different computer activities.
- This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Performance Expectation of HS-PS 3-1 Create a computation model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. It does so because students utilize the equation q=mct to calculate the amount of Calories per gram of various foods and determine the specific heat for various substances.
- This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Crosscutting Concept 5: Energy and matter. It does so because students are utilizing the concept of specific heat and how energy is transferred within systems.
- This lesson aligns with the NGSS Science and Engineering Practice 6: Constructing Explanations: It does so because students are expected to explain their observations in the virtual labs.
- This lesson also aligns with NGSS Science and Engineering Practice 3: Planning and Carrying out Investigations: It does so because students are performing two virtual labs. Although they are not physically doing the labs, they are able to see how the lab activities work so I feel that it covers this practice.
For this lesson students need access to computers or tablets to perform the activities.
To begin this lesson I explain the two virtual labs and go over my expectations for student behavior during the activities. For more details about how I use computers in chemistry see my reflection in the Elaborate section of my Introduction to Energy Lesson.
- I begin by passing out the two computer labs to students (Calorimetry Virtual Lab and Energy Heat Capacity Computer Lab).
- I go over a couple particulars for each lab:
- For the calorimetry lab I tell students to make sure that they are reading each step and that they will not be able to go to the next step until they record in the lab notebook on the computer and press the flashing arrow.
- For the Heat Capacity lab I tell students to pay attention to the equation because they are solving for "c" not "q".
- I also tell them that if they are confused to try to figure out the next step with their groups and that if they are still stuck that they should ask me for clarification right away because they need to make sure to stay on task; otherwise, they will not have enough time to complete the lab.
- I then go over how they will be using the computers with their groups so they should make sure that they are all participating by taking turns on the computer, waiting for all of their classmates to see the visuals, and to make sure that they all record data on their own papers.
- I reiterate that each student is in charge of their own work and that they should be writing answers in their own words.
- I then have students go up to their stations with their table groups to work on the labs.

Elaborate Part I
The first virtual lab that students do in this lesson can be found on Glencoe's website. This screencast movie shows how students perform the virtual lab by clicking through the procedures, recording, and analyzing their data.
- Students perform the lab on the computer and record data and answer questions on their calorimetry virtual lab paper.
- In this lab students have a chance to calculate the Calories per gram of various food items.
- The lab is nice because it first has students predict the Calories per gram of 5 different foods and then they go through doing the experiment and calculations to determine the Calories per gram of those 5 foods.
- The lab is also nice because it has students fill in some of the data but does the calculations for them.
- Finally at the end of the lab I have students reflect on what they found through several analysis questions.
- Here are two examples of students' completed labs (Student example 1 and Student example 2)
- The biggest issue I have with this lab is students getting confused with the calculations. Even though the computer does the calculations for students they have to type in the change in water temperature, change in mass and then Calories into the computer. Many groups get confused about where to type this data in. Therefore, while students are working I have to make sure to continuously walk around and make sure that I help clarify for students where to type in data and go through an example with each group.
Resources (4)
Elaborate Part II
For the second activity students perform another set of experiments on the computer, this time using a simulation from the State University of New York's website. This screencast movie explains the virtual lab.
- Students perform the activity on the computer where they heat up different substances and then record data on their Heat capacity computer lab paper.
- I like this activity because it is very quick and simple but allows students to see how much energy is put into the system, how much the temperature changes, and the mass of the substance.
- Students can then take the data that they record and get an accurate value for the specific heat capacity of the substance which they tested.
- Finally I have student write an explanation (including claim and evidence) as to the relationship between temperature change and heat capacity.
- Here is an example of one student's completed paper( Specific heat computer student example). Notice how this student shows their work to calculate the heat capacity and does a good job explaining the relationship between temperature change and specific heat capacity. The student does not use the term inverse relationship, but has not yet learned this in my class.
- The biggest confusions that students had with this lab is making sure to calculate for "c",the specific heat, not "q", not q, the heat transferred, and answering the final question.
- As students worked with their groups I had to make sure to walk around and help them with an example of solving for "c" as that most groups just wanted to multiply their numbers together which would give a value of "q".
- Also, some students had a hard time determining the relationship between temperature change and heat capacity. This biggest issue with this is that students can choose how long to heat the substance for (therefore changing "q") and which mass to use (so changing "m"). If students changed these between substances then it was more difficult to see the relationship between change in temperature and heat capacity.

People in the Bible loved to get their fast on. Perhaps they didn't love it, but they fasted regularly. God called his people to fast for a myriad of reasons. Fasts were personal, communal, and national. People fasted for the salvation of others, as an act of worship, and when times were bad. Fasting was a big deal in both the Old and New Testament.
If you've ever participated in a fast, then you know the experience is rich and rewarding, and somehow, brings you closer to God. As we deny ourselves the satisfaction of a full belly, we are more prone to listen to God. There is a deep hunger stirring within us, but this hunger can be directed towards a more meaningful fulfillment. Laruen Winner said "When you are fasting and you feel hungry, you are to remember that you are really hungry for God." That is part of the experience—realizing that God is enough to satisfy us. Kind of like what Jesus reminded Satan when said, "Man does not live on bread alone" (Matthew 4:4). Food alone is not enough to satisfy us.
It's important to understand though, that biblical fasting is more than just the absence of food. It's not so much what you give up when you fast, but what you decide to replace it with. Fasting is a discipline where we invite God to be at the center of our lives—spiritually, physically, and even emotionally. During a fast, we take away something we desire and use the time for spiritual purposes. When you don't have to prepare food, or watch TV, or log onto Facebook ten times a day (a personal addiction), you have a lot of free time on your hands; free time that can be spent hanging out with the Father.
Fasting also provides an opportunity to grow in love with one another. Some of the more poignant examples of fasting in Scripture happen when the nation of Israel fasts as one, or when the early church spent their time praying and fasting as a community. Our youth group is preparing for a national event called 30 Hour Famine. We'll be abstaining from food for thirty hours in an effort to raise money for hungry people all over the world, and also to experience what it's like to go without. The experience will be eye opening for all who participate. John Piper said "Fasting is meant to awaken us to the hunger of the world, not just our own hunger." That is our prayer for this event—that our group will be awakened to the powerful workings of God in our lives and community. We're praying for a night of encounters with Jesus, and conversations with one another that will help us love and care for each other in the name of Christ.
Fasting, like other spiritual disciplines, reminds us that God can be found in our every day happenings. I love the emotion the psalmist employs when he says "where can I go from your presence!?" How can I escape you!? God is like a clingy girlfriend (or boyfriend) with no concept of personal space. God is very near. Fasting can help us open our hearts to this truth and allow his goodness to change us.

He's Not Intimidated | Excerpt from Real Men Don't Text
Michael speaks some great truth here to us women who love to make excuses for the men in our lives. It's easier to make excuses than to admit that he just doesn't like you, isn't it?
Ladies, men are simple, but you have spent centuries trying to understand us—when our intentions are generally clear.
You make endless excuses for our behavior—"He is really busy"; "He is afraid of commitment because of his last relationship"; "He had a hard childhood"; or (my favorite) "He's intimidated." No, no, and no.
Many of you struggle to know in your heart that you are worth loving, and Ruthie and I absolutely hate thinking about you tossing and turning, wondering, "Why haven't I been chosen?" We don't take your pain lightly.
However, it's what you do with the hurt that is pivotal. Filling your time with the wrong men or lowering your standards is only contributing to the problem and leading you down a path toward more heartbreak.
Stop responding to his messages, stop asking your friends, and keep reading. These excuses are why you continually attract the wrong man. A man will pursue a woman he likes. And it won't be through lazy text messages and assumed dates.
If he won't man up and call you, plan ahead, and actually take you on a date, he may want to hang out with you tonight, but his future doesn't include you. Cut him loose and save yourself for the man who does want you in his future. Don't lose hope. There is a good man out there for you.

COMPANY Picks of Bushwick Open Studios 2011
(June 7, 2011) The MTA may be conspiring to keep us away, but we can't be daunted! We trekked out to Bushwick this weekend to find the best emerging artists of the Open Studios 2011.
|Meg Hitchcock - 696 Hart St - this artist dissects religious texts such as the Bible, Baghavad Gita, and Torah and uses the individual letters to create maddeningly complex, interwoven 2-D and 3-D collages which are subtly subversive. Her latest work includes pairing the Satanic Verses with the Koran…..oh my.
|Francesco Longnecker – Factory Fresh, 1053 Flushing Avenue between Morgan and Knickerbocker - rising star abstract artist ; his abstract canvases comprise a complex synthesis of diverse references - abstract masterpieces, street art, and flea market finds. Although comfortable with historical references, Longenecker infuses his work with the physicality of graffiti – specifically the struggle of layering which occurs when blocks of color similar to the original color of the wall are applied in an attempt to obliterate it. You want to come back over and over again to discover things that you missed.
|Kyu Seok Oh – 56 Bogart Street, #3L - this is the Japanese-Korean sculptor who installed a herd of sheep made from handmade paper in Times Square earlier this year has been keeping the surviving members of the flock in his studio at #3-L 1 Grattan Street, while working on many more of his paper sculptures. He uses his own paper created from paper pulp he initiates.
|Sweet Toof – Factory Fresh, 1053 Flushing Avenue between Morgan and Knickerbocker - this well known street artist has gone canvas on us….actually linen. Sweet Toof 's juxtaposes his saccharine jawbone icon onto Washington Irving's Headless Horseman from the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" creating a goofy yet brilliant nightmare. Very painterly no less.
|Ellie Ga – Storefront, 16 Wilson Ave - After an eighteen-month residency in the archives of the Explorers Club in New York, Ellie Ga became the sole artist-in-residence from 2007 to 2008 aboard The Tara––a research vessel lodged in the ice of the Arctic Ocean. Her photos are part of Dunkle Wolke , a group show curated by William Powhida and that features artists who "have some experience with darkness in all its forms, from the purely formal to the emotional weight of loneliness," according to Powhida's exhibition text. A perfect fit, her photos evoke Sugimoto's shadows and light in possibly the loneliest place on Earth – the Artic. Like staring into the abyss of a deep water admiring its stillness but afraid of what could be.
|Steven Schreiber – 56 Bogart Place, studio 216 – If you can tell me why I cant stop looking at this artist's small, geometric collages then you win….a cookie. But it's the truth. Maybe it's the DIY aesthetic ( even the glue ripples are evident in spots) I gravitate to or the rhythmic motion of varying bands of color. The snippets of a magazine image hint at a memory growing hazy with time.
