Read what the analysts are saying about BearingPoint
BearingPoint AR supports industry and IT analysts through a single point of contact for timely information on our management and technological capabilities and insights on how we deliver value to our clients.
Please reach out for:
TBR's principle analyst, Patrick Heffernan (@TBR_PatrickH), attended the BearingPoint Innovation Event where BearingPoint served as host to more than 70 people from across the globe to strengthen advocates for innovation and build towards workable solutions to real-world innovation challenges.
BearingPoint has been mentioned in Gartner Hype Cycle for the Future of CSP Network and Business Operations, 2018. In this Gartner Hype Cycle report, analyst Norbert J. Scholz mentions BearingPoint, with the Infonova software, as a sample vendor for "Supplier and Partner Relationship Management".
Gartner places this functionality on the Hype Cycle as "Climbing the Slope" and predict that it will be mainstream functionality for CSP Network and Business Operations within the next 2 years. This is significant for Infonova because our software pioneered this specific functionality in the CSP marketplace. It also underlines the trend that we have seen in the last 8-10 months that CSPs are increasingly understanding the significance and importance of multi-tenant Supplier and Partner Relationship Management (SPRM) in their business functionality landscape. (July 2018)
Forrester's "Now Tech: Service Providers For Next-Generation SAP Products, Q2 2018" includes BearingPoint among the players with <500M USD in SAP revenue. Analysts Liz Herbert, Amanda LeClair et. al. have mapped the vendor landscape for "next-generation SAP products to access new skill sets, leverage providers' experience with SAP products, and get an outside perspective on innovation". (April 2018)
In TBR's 2H17 Vendor Profile, Senior Analyst Elitsa Bakalova concludes that BearingPoint will "continue to capitalise on its established market position in Europe" whilst expanding "its addressable market", keeping it on track to reach its 2020 revenue goal of 1 billion. TBR views BearingPoint's new status as a Salesforce Platinum Consulting Partner as a positive development, as it reflects the growing importance of "customer experience and a broader, long-term digital strategy" to clients. (April 2018)
The IDC MarketScape highlights that BearingPoint helps clients innovate and delivers well researched and personalized advice. It emphasizes BearingPoint's ability to improve its customers' experience, manage risk and support business change across a client organization. (March 2018)
BearingPoint is positioned highest on the ability to execute axis in the Visionaries quadrant of the Magic Quadrant. According to the report, "Visionaries in this Magic Quadrant bring a wide range of business and technical capabilities, including CX strategy, business transformation consulting, customer analytics, enterprise architecture and design, CRM technology expertise, industry-specific domain expertise, and business change management. They can demonstrate innovative new projects that have not yet been replicated by competitors." (January 2018)
BearingPoint have been recognized by Constellation Research Shortlist for "Smart Services Digital Monetization Platforms Payments for the subscription economy". This is the third time that we have been recognized for our Infonova R6 Digital Ecosystem Management platform.
Legacy billing systems lack the ability to support subscriptions, consumption-based models, and one-time transactions. Smart Services Digital Billing provides a billing solution for organizations operating untraditional business models. Expect Smart Services Digital Billing to support business models built on smart services for IoT, blockchain consensus and sharing economies.
Our market leading Digital Ecosystem Management (DEM) solution enables successful platform ecosystems in the digital economy. DEM empowers clients to manage and monetize their digital opportunities by creating and managing vibrant ecosystems of existing and new consumers, producers and innovators. Our unique combination of DEM strategy consulting, the Infonova R6 platform, technology and operations drives innovation and rejuvenates growth across different industries with an award-winning business model. (February 2018)
In this TBR special report, senior analyst Elitsa Bakalova reports on BearingPoint's strong growth ambitions for its Salesforce consulting services. As a result of successful activities, BearingPoint was awarded Salesforce Platinum Partner status in November 2017.
The Salesforce Platinum Consulting Partner status strengthens BearingPoint's integrated consulting and software‐based solutions' value proposition and augments the company's capabilities around enhancing clients' customer experience (CX) and ability to run their business in the cloud.
"The new Salesforce partnership status is a positive development for BearingPoint in TBR's view as CX and a broader, long‐term digital strategy require highly specific front‐end capabilities that engage directly with clients' end users, and the company needs such capabilities to continue growing and reach its 2020 overall revenue goal of €1 billion (or $1.1 billion)."
(December 2017)
BearingPoint, together with its software product Infonova R6, is positioned furthest for "Completeness of Vision" in the Magic Quadrant for Integrated Revenue and Customer Management (IRCM) for CSPs by leading analyst firm Gartner (Norbert J. Scholz, Jouni Forsman and Amresh Nandan, doc. G00318747, October 2017).

Health, Emotion and The Body
Health, Emotion and The Body
ISBN: 978-0-745-63644-3 May 2009 Polity 224 Pages
Contemporary critiques of biomedicine and the process of medicalisation have long emphasised the limitations of traditional western scientific medicine in the separation of mind and body. The subsequent turn to more holistic models of health and illness is now beginning to permeate medical education and healthcare practice. For Bendelow, a key aspect of this paradigm shift is the development of more sophisticated concepts of stress, which address the intertwining of emotion and embodiment, and emphasise social and material factors alongside biopsychological components.
These theoretical and conceptual issues are explored first through an emphasis on contemporary health practices, and then through developments in illness and medicine. Examining the ways in which 'healthism', rather than 'medicalisation', pervades most areas of everyday life, attention is drawn to the bodily practices we pursue in the name of health. These include concerns with sexual health, health promotion, the use of complementary or alternative medicine, and the notion of emotional health. The book then considers the implications of being diagnosed as ill, and charts the limits of the divisions between 'mental' and 'physical' illness, examining a range of conditions, including chronic pain, eating disorders and other illnesses of the contemporary world.
Health, Emotion and the Body combines clarity of expression with careful scholarship and originality, making it appeal to students and scholars with a wide range of interests, including the sociology of health and illness, the body, and mental illness, as well as health psychology.
Table of contents
Chapter 1 Beyond Biomedicalization: Integrated Models of Health & Illness.
Chapter 2 'Stress': the Key to Mind/Body?.
Chapter 3 Medically Unexplained Symptoms and 'Contested Conditions'.
Chapter 4 Medical Responses to Emotional Distress.
Chapter 5 Complementary Medicine and Alternative Healing Systems.
Chapter 6 Holism or Healthism?.
"This comprehensive book critically examines contemporary models of health and illness ... The book reminds us of the need to consider the individual experience of illness while seeing each person in his or her social context ... Of particular note is the straightforward reminder that illness is a social and emotional experience. The author reminds us that is the patient who should be diagnosed, not merely the disease. 5/5"
Nursing Standard
"A cogent and intelligent account of the implications of mind/body interactions for health."
Sociology of Health and Illness
"The quality of writing is high. Apart from the many case histories used to illustrate the points being made, Professor Bendelow gives many insightful observations on modern life and the way in which medical practitioners are responding."
RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal
"In this insightful, timely, and engaging book, Gillian Bendelow takes a fresh look at the relationship between physical and mental illness, and their treatment. Positing stress as the key to mind-body medicine, Bendelow's analysis sheds much-needed light on key issues from medically unexplained symptoms to the surveillance implications of mind-body approaches. A must-read for anyone interested in the social dimensions of medicine, Health, Emotion and the Body charts the course to critical new areas of inquiry."
Laura Carpenter, Vanderbilt University
"Questions about the relationship between bodies, lives and medicine preoccupy all of us from time to time. In this accessible and very important book, Gillian Bendelow takes us through the critical issues underlying what medicine has to offer contemporary health problems. She identifies a paradigm shift, in which dualistic mind-body models and the dehumanizing and bureaucratic health care systems in which these are often embedded, are now widely understood as failing to provide any real understanding of how we live in and experience our bodies. Her arguments should be read by all those with an interest in humane health care (which is most of us, whether practitioners, users or students). The book is an elegant compendium of many different strands of thought, its conclusions a compelling directive for a more integrated approach."
Ann Oakley, University of London
- There is no other book like this on the market for students that thoughtfully guides the reader through all social, personal and emotional aspects of health and illness.
- The topic is a cutting-edge and popular theme of current medical sociology.
- Public debate and awareness around issues of general welfare and emotional well-being in health care is always growing.
- In this field, Gillian Bendelow is the recognized expert.

What is the Momentum in France and Euro Area?
Philippe Waechter, Chief economist of Natixis Asset Management, shares his analysis of the current economic situation in France and Euro Area.
" (...) 2012 and 2013 have been two years of recession for the Euro Area and for important countries such as Italy, Spain, Netherlands and Portugal. But even in Germany and in France the momentum was low. Carry-over for 2014 is weak and does not reflect a strong exit of recession. That's the weakness of the Euro Area; there is no source of long-lasting positive impulse.
From data of the first quarter and what we know from the second, the source of this low momentum comes from low internal demand specifically on investment. The risk of deflation that can be seen in an inflation rate at 0.4% in July is related to wage negotiations. Low inflation rate will lead to low wage indexation and this will not reinforce consumption and internal demand. That's why a lot of resources have to be put on investment (public and private)."

School of Biblical Apologetics
Real World Apologetics
From the Chancellor: The School of Biblical Apologetics (SOBA) is an educational arm of the Institute for Creation Research and a part of ICR's broader mission. In a world of confusion and compromise, ICR's School of Biblical Apologetics will examine and promote God's truth for Christian leaders who seek specialized training in the blended fields of biblical education and apologetics.
ICR's School of Biblical Apologetics promotes and represents ICR's commitment to the Bible's authenticity, accuracy, understandability, and authority, even unto every "jot and tittle" (Matthew 5:18). Accordingly, SOBA teaches biblical education and apologetics based upon a foundation of divine revelation, and equips the student to minister for God with an eye for eternity, using research and analysis skills, and a plethora of apologetics insights. As Paul taught Timothy (2 Timothy 2:2), SOBA intends to train leaders who will in turn teach God's truth to others. More...

Students Learn if They Have What it Takes in Silicon Valley Job Market
Marika E. Krause
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 3, 2012—College students are putting the finishing touches on their resumes, polishing up their online profiles and practicing their pitches for dozens of the top Silicon Valley companies who will be at Santa Clara University's Malley Center for the annual fall career fair Oct. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m.
While computer and electrical engineers are in demand, companies are also looking at finance, marketing and communication majors. There's also a good market for business and data analysts, and the retail market has picked up. Santa Clara University students are often well prepared for the Silicon Valley focus on fit, not just skills
"Employers are looking for more than top grades and polished student projects, " says Elspeth Rossetti, director of Santa Clara University's Career Center. "They're looking for employees who are well-rounded, and can play well with others. Santa Clara University emphasizes educating the whole person so, besides being polished and well-educated, SCU grads have the "soft skills", the interpersonal skills, and the work ethic that make them successful in the workplace."
Many students also understand they also have to do more than print out paper resumes. Employees are more tech savvy and often use social media to recruit the right hire. The SCU Career Center encourages students to complete a LinkedIn profile and keep it updated with on-campus job, activities, and internships. The Center created a profile for Bucky Bronco, the campus mascot, to show students what an effective LinkedIn profile includes. Counselors also remind students it's never too early to start a career.
"Many employers these days focus on hiring interns because their recruitment strategy is to have a high conversion rate from their intern pool into full-time jobs. Engineers, particularly computer engineers, are in greatest demand," says Rossetti.
SCU is seeing an uptick in the number employers returning to campus for a second year in a row, after a drop during the recession. More than 150 companies will be on campus including tech staples like Adobe, Intuit, McAfee and Yahoo! A few highly anticipated companies like Workday and Palantir Technologies will also make their debut.
Students, faculty, and staff will be available for media interviews. A list of employers who are scheduled to be at the career fair is available upon request.
About Santa Clara University
Santa Clara University, a comprehensive Jesuit, Catholic university located 40 miles south of San Francisco in California's Silicon Valley, offers its more than 8,800 students rigorous undergraduate curricula in arts and sciences, business, theology, and engineering, plus master's and law degrees and engineering Ph.D.s. Distinguished nationally by one of the highest graduation rates among all U.S. master's universities, California's oldest operating higher-education institution demonstrates faith-inspired values of ethics and social justice.

SOUTH BURLINGTON — The state's utility regulators fined Vermont Gas Systems $100,000 for failing to report in a timely manner a cost increase on the natural gas pipeline it is building from Colchester to Middlebury and Vergennes.
The Public Service Board on Friday wrote in an order that Vermont Gas broke the public trust in its regulatory authority when it waited "nearly six months" to disclose its first cost increase on the project last year.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Regional Planning Commission (ACRPC) board voted 23 to 9 on Wednesday evening, July 1, to affirm its support of Phase I of the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project.
SALISBURY — A renewable natural gas project in Salisbury that would convert organic waste and manure from dairy cows to pipeline-quality natural gas and other beneficial products moved a step closer to reality last month.
Dan Smith of Lincoln Renewable Natural Gas, or LincolnRNG, submitted an application for the project to the Vermont Public Service Board on May 11.

ADDISON COUNTY — The federal agency responsible for regulating interstate energy projects has granted a waiver that gives New York and Vermont, the two states through which Phase II of Vermont Gas Systems' Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project would run, authority to approve or reject the plan.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a ruling Sept. 26 that Phase II complies with the Natural Gas Act, which prohibits the construction of a natural gas pipeline in an area already served by natural gas.
This week's writers are State Sens. Kevin Mullin and Peg Flory, both of whom are Republicans representing Rutland County.
The Vermont way is for neighbors to help neighbors and communities to come together to solve challenges. Energy infrastructure, like natural gas service, is one of the most important areas for Vermonters to collaborate.
A pipeline of fracked gas from Canada through Vermont; perhaps this struggle really comes down to what's important: principles or profit? Ethics or greed?
Sen. Chris Bray's brilliantly argued letter in the June 26 edition of this paper goes to the heart of the Phase II pipeline issue. This Quebec project, as he writes, is about the private use of the proposed pipeline by the International Paper Co. and therefore deserves neither a Certificate of Public Good nor the right to eminent domain.

Justin Bieber Really May Not Be the King of Twitter After All
A social media report that sounds like it could have been crafted by little monsters claims that Justin Bieber really isn't the King of Twitter after all. While the signer generated more Twitter interest than the Grammys and broke the Internet trying to stage a live chat, Socialbakers claims Lady Gaga still rules the Twitter roost because less of her followers are fake.
The Biebs has crossed 37 million followers and has the most on Twitter, cruising past Ma Monster a few months back.
The report lists nearly 17 million of those followers, or 45 percent, as being fake. The report counts 2.6 million of those accounts as inactive.
Fake accounts are designated by the following criteria: an account with less than one follower or following less than 50 people; the repeated use of spam phrases like "diet" and "work from home"; tweets repeated more than three times; when more than 90 percent of the tweets are just RTs; accounts with 90 percent of tweets being links and having a 7:1 follow ratio; or the account has never dispatched a tweet.
Without getting into the nitty gritty of the numbers, this report states that only 17.8 million of the Belieber followers are "good" while 19 million of Gaga's are "good," meaning she still reigns supreme of the Twitterverse...if you choose to believe this report.
Last year, a report surfaced indicating that most of Gaga's followers were fakes, too. #TeamBiebs. #TeamGaga. #BoringSocialMediaStats.

New chemistry professor 'paying forward' his WBU experience
PLAINVIEW – Every day, Dr. Gary Gray comes into his office in the basement of the Moody Science Building, preparing for the day's classes or grading homework. It's already routine, but even this far into the semester, the experience is somewhat surreal.
Gray is filling the shoes – and, quite literally, the office – of his mentor as the new professor of chemistry at Wayland Baptist University. He replaced Dr. Harold Temple, who served on the science faculty at Wayland for more than 30 years and retired in June.
To his students, he is the new guy on the block. Few know the history behind the man and his mentor and the story behind what drove a successful academician and administrator back to the classroom and back to his alma mater.
Gray first came to Wayland in 1976, fresh out of a stint in the Army with a new wife and, admittedly, a bad attitude. He'd started his college career at Baylor University in 1971 just before getting drafted into the Army. Not able to afford to return to Baylor, the Grays considered Wayland because of a family connection – both his parents had attended WBU – and because the financial aid package was enough to allow both Gray and his wife Esther to go to school.
"I came in as a bitter young man," he recalled. "I felt cheated out of those years out of school, and I wasn't having a good walk in my faith."
Entering as a pre-medicine major, Gray took his first chemistry class with Temple and developed a passion for the field. Not only did he glean from Temple the knowledge and technique of a skilled chemist, but he also found an example of a godly man who encouraged students in their academic and spiritual pursuits.
"You can't help but like Dr. Temple," he noted. "Quality mattered to him, and he held us to a high standard. He became a surrogate father, in a sense, to me. Coming into an academic community with men like Dr. Temple, Dr. (J. Hoyt) Bowers and Dr. (Harold) Reese was so totally different from what I'd been exposed to for four years."
"I used these guys as a model for what it means to be a Christian doing science."
While he was learning quantum mechanics and doing lab experiments, Gray was picking up valuable lessons from Temple on another level as well. The future held many options, but after his graduation in May 1979, Gray opted to enter the doctoral program at Texas Tech in chemistry. After completing the degree, he did protein chemistry research at the Tech Health Sciences Center for the National Institute of Health for three years.
From there, Gray went to Penn State as a faculty member, doing full-time cancer research. But the routine of constant reading and lonely lab work "felt like solitary confinement" and was not satisfying work. It was at that point Gray said he had his "come to Jesus meeting and finally stopped to ask God what He wanted me to do," he said.
"When my plans and goals hadn't worked out, I felt like I had to fall back on God," Gray said, adding that he applied to the foreign mission board thinking missions was his calling.
Someone on the board suggested he consider teaching and forwarded his application to several Christian universities. In 1989, he started a teaching job at Southwest Baptist University in Missouri, where he worked his way through the faculty ranks and eventually to the role of Dean of Science and Math in 2001. A high point of his tenure was helping start an academic program on faith and science.
Soon, Gray found himself at another career crossroads. He wasn't interested in moving up to the provost's role, and he felt called back to the classroom. When he started looking at openings, he didn't really consider Wayland, noting "the climate is not really my cup of tea." He had even passed the chemistry job opening announcement on to a few alumni who fit the bill.
"The more I thought about it and read the description, I realized that was me," he said. "Leaving was a painful thing, though. I took a huge salary hit and walked away from tenure, but the Lord worked it out so well we knew it was a good thing."
Ironically, the Grays had decided to sell their house and buy another, and the house was already on the market before they knew about the opening at Wayland. It sold quickly, and when Gray was able to predict his salary within $100, the couple took those as signs that God was moving them to Plainview.
Something else tugged at Gray.
"The thought of coming back to fill Dr. Temple's shoes appealed to me greatly," he said. "To see the commitment of the institution to the field of chemistry, to see how far Wayland had come since I'd been here was all encouraging. I saw a faculty who was committed to dragging students over the bar, not lowering the bar."
Gray looks back over his own WBU experience when contemplating the importance of his new role, and admits a bit of divine intervention.
"The thought of coming back and giving back what I was given was very appealing to me," Gray said thoughtfully. "The Lord made it so clear that I was called to come that I knew we had to come."


text: Having spent thirteen years as an art teacher, it was the loss of her father-in-law's eyesight after an operation that inspired Suha Lallas to create an initiative to teach art to the blind.Initially reaching out to students with visual impairments and teaching them individually, Lallas then used the opportunity of the opening of her art gallery, Wadi Finan for the Arts, to reach out to the community, she said. Her journey began three years ago, holding activities for people with visual disabilities at the Jordan Museum in Ras Al Ain and a school in Irbid. Lallas sought to target those who suffer from visual impairment and also come from an impoverished background, so as to give them opportunities that may not otherwise be available to them. It was meeting Manal Maaytah that kick-started the "Art for the Blind" initiative. Maaytah is blind herself, having lost her eyesight at age 12 as a result of a medical mistake. She now heads the Association for the Insightful for Social Development (AISD), based in Zarqa, which involves underprivileged visually impaired students with a range of opportunities, including regular creative workshops with Lallas and the Wadi Finan gallery. "Maaytah is a role model. She gives the children such amazing support -- she understands them and they look up to her. She's proof of success," Lallas told The Jordan Times in a recent interview. Both Lallas and Maaytah believe that art is one of the most effective forms of therapy for those with visual impairment. In impoverished living conditions, Lallas says that families often are at a loss with what to do with their children if they are born with or develop visual impairments. "These children feel like outcasts and are very insecure. We believe in art as a form of therapy. By learning a new skill they didn't believe was possible, the children's self-esteem is boosted," Lallas said. Teachers employ the Braille method in their workshops, which involves sticking materials of varying texture onto the canvases and guiding the children where to put different colors. "Through the art classes, the children have learned about different shapes and objects, and through that, they relate and connect them to their practical life," Maaytah said. "It has also helped further develop their smell and touch senses...they enjoy experimenting with art because it teaches them more about life," she added. The Art for the Blind project has now worked with some 300 students, with between six and 25 pupils attending each workshop. The classes work with children between the ages of 10 and 18, largely from the Zarqa area. More than simply teaching art, the initiative is aimed at showing the children that they can be independent and achieve whatever they set their minds to. Recently, one of the students with visual disability involved in the project, Omar, scored 97 per cent at the General Secondary Education Certificate examination (Tawjihi), according to Lallas. Additionally, through the awareness of the issues of people with visual impairments through the Wadi Finan and AISD initiative, the St. Vincent de Paul/Educate Me Young Ladies Committee, based in Amman, financially supported two blind students to attend university last September. Wadi Finan for the Arts, in conjunction with AISD, will shortly be applying for charitable status, under the name of Wadi Finan, to raise funds to continue these projects in underprivileged areas, Lallas said. Despite putting a portion of the Wadi Finan gallery profit towards the initiative, more is needed to secure even the most basic of facilities, she noted. Lallas hopes to use the money raised by the projected charity to provide transport for children whose parents are unable to afford getting them to the classes. In June this year, Lallas and Maaytah hope to host the first exhibition of artworks by the children, to showcase their talents and raise money for the initiative.

A guest post by my friend and fellow writer tutor, Lisa Wiley:
Ah, puberty! Oh, wait. . . We are supposed to be talking about menopause aren't we? Well, at my house, they seem to be one and the same. I was 35 when my daughter Madison was born. The anesthesiologist thought it wise to announce "getting a late start, are we?" I was livid! Madison was frank breech and would need assistance making it through the birth canal in one piece. And this was NONE of his business.
I think back on that day with vivid clarity. Where was the baby that I gave birth to ten years ago? Gone are the days of packing diaper bags. I gratefully leave that chore behind. Now, we face the changes of life together. She grieves each day over issues such as hair and nails, crying in the bathroom as she learns how to deal with the mass of tangles that were a gift from her dad. She angrily looks at me as the enemy. My straight dark hair reminds her of the way hers "should" look. I try to remind her that when I was her age, my mother nearly ripped my scalp off trying to detangle my hair too. It doesn't help. She has reached the age of the prepubescent; it won't be long now.
As for me, the gynecologist that confirmed her birth gently reminds me that the things that I am dealing with are normal, and healthy. Really? It is normal for me to go off like a rocket, once a month and need medical intervention? It is normal for me to crave the one thing that would cause me to bite the head off of anyone that stands in my way? Caffeine, you are NOT my friend and I will not give in.
When I held that precious little baby, I did not sign up for this? Did I? I always enjoyed the medicinal quality of my cycle each month. It prevented illnesses and brought me back to a certain normalcy. It was more dependable than many of the people that surrounded me. Where would it go? Our visits are growing shorter and shorter. Would I weep for it, or be grateful that it is finally gone?
The daughter that I held, so many years ago has changed as well. The always smiling, bright, intelligent burst of sunlight is now a smoldering preteen. Her presence reminds me that while I am facing the demise of my ability to procreate, she is just entering hers. She will not be the same going through this, and neither will I. I pray for strength. We are both changing so much and we are forced to face it together.

MANHATTAN -- Two projects that brought together the Division of Continuing Education and the College of Education at Kansas State University have won Celebration of Excellence awards from the University Professional and Continuing Education Association.
The Extended College Education for Lifelong Learning program, or Project EXCELL, won the association's Central Region Innovative Program Award, while the academic advising certificate program won the association's Central Region Mature Credit Program Award.
Project EXCELL offers five-week, on-campus classes to young adults age 18 and older who have mild developmental disabilities or other cognitive disabilities and might not otherwise be able to experience a college environment. The program was offered for the first time at K-State in spring 2010.
"This award is recognition of the commitment of Kansas State University to provide education and services to all citizens of Kansas," said Warren White, professor of special education, counseling and student affairs. "This program has enriched the lives of many individuals and families who typically would not be an active part of university life."
Twenty-seven students participated in Project EXCELL in spring 2010. Thirty K-State students volunteered to be student ambassadors to assist with the project.
"K-State has opened its educational doors for personal enrichment and life-enhancing classes to students and young adults with developmental disabilities," said Sue Maes, dean of the Division of Continuing Education. "It's exciting to watch these young adults enjoying the K-State environment for the first time."
EXCELL is a partnership of K-State and six area educational cooperatives.
"The EXCELL students are proud to be taking classes at K-State, eager to participate, and they clearly benefit from both the academic and social opportunities the program provides," said Linda Teener, executive director of UFM Community Learning Center in Manhattan, which serves as the campus host for Project EXCELL.
The 15-credit academic advising certificate program is a collaborative effort from the department of special education, counseling and student affairs; the College of Education; the Division of Continuing Education; and the National Academic Advising Association. The program was created in 2003.
"We are very pleased to have the graduate certificate in academic advising program recognized," said Ken Hughey, head of the department of special education, counseling and student affairs. "This award helps to emphasize the importance of academic advising to students' postsecondary retention and success. This online graduate program in academic advising serves students from across the U.S. and outside the country."
Nearly 700 students have been admitted to the program, which is completely online.
"We were the first university in the United States to offer a professional program for academic advisers," said Maes. "I believe you can judge the quality of this program by the fact that upon completing the certificate, graduates consistently ask about additional courses and training. Because of these requests, K-State launched the full master's program in academic advising in 2008."

Neill Appointed to NAS Committee, Oct. 31, 2002
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., October 31, 2002 -- Robert Neill, director emeritus of New Mexico Tech's Environmental Evaluation Group (EEG), recently was appointed as a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).
Neill retired last year after having served as the director of EEG since its inception in 1978.
EEG, an interdisciplinary research group of scientists and engineers, was established by the State of New Mexico and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to provide independent technical evaluation of the WIPP site near Carlsbad, N.M., to ensure the protection of public health and safety and the environment.
In 1989, EEG was assigned to New Mexico Tech under the original DOE contract.
Prior to directing EEG, Neill's extensive background in public and environmental health included a long stint as a commissioned officer with the U.S. Public Health Service, which took him literally around the world as an administrator, consultant, and instructor specializing in radiological health, or radiation exposure to people.

A strong commitment to social justice and inclusivity dates to the founding of the College in 1846 by transplanted New Englanders with strong abolitionist and social-reformer backgrounds. Early in the College's history, the town of Grinnell was an important stop on the underground railroad that secretly transported slaves to freedom.
Grinnell College's social consciousness blossomed during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, when graduates Harry Hopkins 1912, Chester Davis 1911, Paul Appleby 1913, Hallie Ferguson Flanagan 1911, and Florence Stewart Kerr 1912 became influential New Deal administrators.
Today, Grinnell's commitment to social justice continues through a strong philosophy of self-governance and personal responsibility, as well as programs and initiatives that encourage students to learn about the world beyond the campus and to effect positive social change.
For example:
- The annual Grinnell College Young Innovator for Social Justice Prize honors individuals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated leadership in their fields and who show creativity, commitment, and extraordinary accomplishment in effecting positive social change. Winners participate in an annual Grinnell Prize Symposium on campus. Through public lectures and interactions with students, they share their experiences and perspectives in effecting positive and innovative social change. Lasting ties with the winners and their organizations offer opportunities for student internships, short courses, and other educational experiences.
- Grinnell's Social Justice Action Group works toward peace, justice, and positive social change with efforts that fight hunger, promote volunteerism, and build understanding.
- The Wall Alumni Service Awards provide financial support for Grinnell alumni to engage in service projects, programs, and organizations dedicated to improving the lives of others.
- Grinnell's Expanding Knowledge Initiative has introduced curricular innovations in the areas of environmental challenges, human rights, and human dignity.
- The Liberal Arts in Prison Program, a collaborative effort by Grinnell students, faculty, and staff, engages incarcerated adults in courses in the liberal arts.
- The Office of Social Commitment empowers Grinnellians by administering programs and advising students in the areas of scholarship, service, and leadership.
- The Center for Religion, Spirituality, and Social Justice is committed to fostering intercultural, interreligious dialogues and service on the Grinnell College campus and in the wider community.

Driver Sought After Hit-and-Run Crash in Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls Police say two people left the scene of a two-vehicle crash at 10th and Sycamore early Wednesday. One was located, but the other is still being sought.
Officer Sam Clemens says it happened around 2:30 a.m. when a 1999 Chevy Malibu and a 1999 Nissan Sentra collided. He says the Malibu was disabled, and the two men in the Nissan drove away and left the scene.
The Nissan was left behind a nearby business, and the 20-year-old man who had been the passenger was found in the 700 block of South Charlotte Avenue.
Clemens says the passenger gave police the driver's name, but he was not immediately located. He says both men in the Nissan had been drinking, and the passenger was cited for underage consumption.

Review: "Recognizing that there's no such thing as bad publicity, manager-Svengali Malcolm McLaren molded the Pistols into the most confrontational, nihilistic band rock & roll had ever seen." BA "One album was all they made, and probably all anyone could stand." TL Still, "while mostly accurate, dismissing Never Mind the Bollocks as merely a series of loud, ragged mid-tempo rockers with a harsh, grating vocalist and not much melody would be a terrible error." SH "Most imitators of the Pistols' angry nihilism missed the point: Underneath the shock tactics and theatrical negativity were social critiques carefully designed for maximum impact. Never Mind the Bollocks perfectly articulated the frustration, rage, and dissatisfaction of the British working class with the establishment, a spirit quick to translate itself to strictly rock & roll terms." SH
"The Pistols' early singles Anarchy in the U.K. and God Save the Queen defined the raging style of British punk." BA The latter "dared voice the opinion that the monarch 'ain't no human bein.'" TL Meanwhile, "Holidays in the Sun mashed the Holocaust, the British economy and third world tourism into something offensive to hear ('I don't wanna holiday in the sun/ I wanna go to new Belsen/ I wanna see some/ History 'cause now I got a reasonable economy') and more offensive to ignore." TL
"Already anthemic songs are rendered positively transcendent by Johnny Rotten's rabid, foaming delivery." SH "Rotten, who had never sung before, had a gift for malice that he turned on the complacent England of the 70s." TL "His bitterly sarcastic attacks on pretentious affectation and the very foundations of British society were all carried out in the most confrontational, impolite manner possible." SH
Of course, there was also "Steve Jones' buzz-saw guitar" BA which made "the songs explosive and catchy" TL "and (most importantly) bass player Glen Matlock's hook-filled compositional skills." BA However, "by the time they recorded their lone 1977 album, Matlock had been bounced, replaced by the image-correct but utterly untalented (and ultimately group-dooming) Sid Vicious," BA "a tragic sideshow." TL
"The Pistols paved the way for countless other bands to make similarly rebellious statements, but arguably none were as daring or effective. It's easy to see how the band's roaring energy, overwhelmingly snotty attitude, and Rotten's furious ranting sparked a musical revolution, and those qualities haven't diminished one bit over time. Never Mind the Bollocks is simply one of the greatest, most inspiring rock records of all time." SH

Maria Pask
Maria Pask's art takes place primarily in projects that focus on processes and include people from a wide variety of societal groups. Based on artistic strategies developed for the most part during the 1960s, the artist's works are reminiscent of the radical nature of the alternative movement. Thus, while Pask uses new forms of theatrical production in her oeuvre, she does not hesitate to re-enact musicals or draw upon the particular aesthetics of this generation when this suits her purposes. Indeed, in her explorations of group dynamics and the position of the individual in the community, Pask employs a broad array of formats, ranging from sculpture to creative workshops and different forms of group therapy. She takes the creative and social potential of these formats and transforms them into colourful installations infiltrated with amateur art. Teamwork and exchange with different societal groups are crucial to Pask's working methods and show the influence of the theatre on her art.
An important aspect of Pask's artistic approach is to create situations that draw audiences into unexpected situations. The goal is less to provoke the audience than to attempt to use this kind of confrontation to overcome inhibitions, break with social conventions, and thereby create something new – all with a good dose of humour.
Maria Pask lives and works in Amsterdam.

"When I do events or concerts, most of the fans that stay afterwards are female," says Anthony Rapp. "It's not like it's a secret."
Nope, it's no secret at all — Anthony Rapp has been out since before Rent – approximately two decades now. For much of that time, he was nearly alone as an openly gay leading man, on Broadway or anywhere – this was before an openly gay Neil Patrick Harris, or an openly gay Sean Hayes. Not to mention openly gay Ricky Martin.
Anthony Rapp
"I'm just encouraged by the fact that more and more people are taking that leap [and coming out]," he says. "There's so little downside it seems to me anymore." In no small measure, the fact that Rapp still has what you might call female groupies he considers testament to the fact that, "If you have fans, people who support your work will follow you no matter what."
Rapp, who grew up in suburban Chicago with his older brother, the filmmaker Adam Rapp, got started in acting early. He starred in small roles as a teenager on Broadway (Six Degrees of Separation) and on film (Adventures In Babysitting). But immediately prior to his Rent tryout in 1994, Rapp was struggling to make ends meet, working at a New York Starbucks.
"I had no idea [Rent] could have potentially mainstream success," Rapp says about when he first started working on the show. "Looking back, it makes some sense that it became such a mainstream hit. There was a vacuum for that kind of material, that kind of experience, on Broadway.
"But it was just sort of out of the blue," he continues. "I never had any idea of what would come, that it would absolutely transform my life."
Rapp essentially has paid the mortgage a couple times over thanks to Rent, a show he's continued to mine: After the original Broadway run, Rapp reprised the role of Mark Cohen for the original 1998 London production of the show, and then again for the 2005 film. Rapp and Adam Pascal, the original Roger Davis, Cohen's roommate, later returned to the fold for a couple months near the end of the original Broadway run, the ninth longest in Broadway history. The two then set out on a national tour of the show in 2009.

See the Students of 'Higher Learning' Then and Now
In John Singleton's 1995 film 'Higher Learning,' a group of students attend the fictional Columbus University. The diverse, good-looking cast may have looked like they came straight out of a college brochure photo, but the situation on campus turns out to be a lot less idyllic than that.The movie featured quite a few young actors who have since enjoyed long careers. See what the cast of 'Higher Learning' is up these days below.
Omar Epps, Malik Williams
Then: Epps starred as academically-challenged track star Malik Williams in 'Higher Learning.' The previous year Epps had played another athlete, Willie Mays Hayes, in 'Major League 2.'
Now: For its last nine seasons Epps portrayed Dr. Dennis Gant on 'House,' which just ended its highly-rated run. He is married to Keisha Spivey from the R&B group Total, and they have two children.
Kristy Swanson, Kristen Connor
Then: Swanson played naïve college freshmen Kristen Connor who experiments with lesbian after an attempted rape. She is probably best known from that time period as a more aggressive character -- in 1992, Swanson played the title role in the original 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' movie.
Now: The 42-year-old recently guest-starred on 'Psych' and will be one of the stars of the 2013 family movie 'The Bouquet.'
Michael Rapaport, Remy
Then: Rapaport channeled his nervous energy as Remy, a confused college student who becomes a white supremacist. Rapaport was all over the big screen during the '90s, with memorable roles in movies such as 'True Romance' and 'Beautiful Girls.'
Now: Rapaport has been a consistent face on TV and movies since 'Higher Learning.' (Remember his Fox series 'The War at Home'?) His biggest role of the last couple years has been lending his unique voice to the 'Pound Puppies' cartoon series.
Ice Cube, Fudge
Then: Ice Cube played the hotheaded, Frederick Douglass quoting Fudge in 'Higher Learning.' It was his second movie with director John Singleton, having made his film debut in 1991's 'Boyz n the Hood.'
Now: Ice Cube continues to make his improbable transition from gangsta rapper to star of family entertainment ('Are We There Yet') and cuddly product pitchman (Coors Lite).
Jennifer Connelly, Taryn
Then: Connelly played lesbian activist Taryn who takes Kristen under her wing. The former child star was one of the film's bigger names at the time, having starred in 'The Rocketeer' and in 'Labyrinth' as a young adult.
Now: Connelly, who won a Best Supporting Oscar for her work on 2001's 'A Beautiful Mind,' is set to star with Kristen Bell and Greg Kinnear in 'Writers' later this year. The 41-year-old is married to actor Paul Bettany, whom she met while filming 'A Beautiful Mind.'
Tyra Banks, Deja
Then: Banks played Malik's fellow track star and eventual girlfriend. It was the film debut for the swimsuit model, who had previously appeared on episodes of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' and as one of the morphing faces in Michael Jackson's 'Black or White' video.
Now: The former talk show diva barely acts these days, but she still has a quite a TV presence as the star and executive producer of 'America's Next Top Model.'
Regina King, Monet
Then: Regina King played Monet, a freshman at Columbus University. It was her first movie role after starring as Brenda Jenkins on the sitcom '227.' A year after 'Higher Learning' was released , King memorably played Cuba Gooding Jr's wife in 'Jerry Maguire.'
Now: King stars as detective Lydia Adams on 'Southland.' The 41-year-old is said to be dating fellow '80s NBC TV star Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
Cole Hauser, Scott Moss
Then: Hauser was skinhead leader Scott Moss in 'Higher Learning.' The 19-year-old previously had supporting roles in 'School Ties' and 'Dazed and Confused.'
Now: The 37-year-old was recently the star of the short-lived TV series 'Chase.' Next year he will play a prominent role in 'A Good Day to Die Hard,' the latest chapter in the 'Die Hard' saga.
Busta Rhymes, Dreads
Then: Busta Rhymes played Dreads, a student who likes to play his rap music loud and bust heads whenever possible.
Now: Rhymes, which is the stage name for Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr., recently released his ninth studio album for free on Google Play. His last movie appearance was in 'Unforgiving' (not the Clint Eastwood one), playing a character named Lick Wilson.
Adam Goldberg, David Issacs
Then: You might remember Goldberg as a Jewish student who clashed with Remy, you know, because he was a skinhead. Goldberg also starred in 'Dazed and Confused.'
Now: In addition to starring as Semitic superhero 'The Hebrew Hammer,' Goldberg was the lead of the just-cancelled police procedural drama 'NYC 22.' Next year he will play notorious pornographer Harry Reems in 'Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story.'
Jay R. Ferguson, Billy
Then: Ferguson played date-rapey frat guy Billy in 'Higher Learning.' He got his acting start as Ponyboy Curtis in the TV adaptation of the S.E. Hinton novel 'The Outsiders.'
Now: These days the 38-year-old is Sterling Cooper art director Sam Rizzo on 'Mad Men.'

Vertical Lists, Bullets
Q. I've read 6.124–6.126 about vertical lists, but I'm still confused about how to punctuate a long vertical list that completes an introductory statement without punctuating it as one terribly long sentence.
Q. What are the proper guidelines for punctuating the phrases/clauses in a bulleted list?
Q. I am a course designer for a university, and I always have a difficult time figuring out how to handle punctuation and capitalization in multiple-choice questions. Do I capitalize the first letter of each choice? Do I add a period at the end of each choice? Does the rule change if it is a question rather than a statement?
Q. In a list of bulleted points where some are complete sentences and some are not, do you put a period at the end of a sentence, but not the list, or periods after all bulleted points, or none at all?
Q. What position does Chicago take on numbered lists within sentences? I'm editing a document in which the author frequently sets apart elements of a series with (1), (2), and (3). The enumeration rarely indicates a progression, and it is used in short and long sentences, even when only two elements of a series are listed. I think this practice is burdensome to the reader in many cases and makes the document appear too technical, but haven't found anything to support my claim.
Q. I am editing a manuscript that will become a book. It is a type of instructional manual, but more informational than instructional. The writer is inconsistent with the use of bullets and numbers. Should a list be numbered only if the material is to be used as a guideline for a consecutive order of information? Should bullets be used simply as an outline of information in no particular order?
Q. In either numbered or bulleted vertical lists, what is the correct syntax? Should each item begin the same way—for example, with a verb?
Q. Two colleagues and I are disagreeing at work about the formatting of the text above vertical lists. The introductory element is often a few words, and it is usually not a complete grammatical sentence, yet we end the introductory element with a colon. One woman declared that this was wrong and that we should fix thousands of screens in hundreds of lessons by either rewriting the introductory element as a complete sentence or removing the colon. What do you think?
Q. Is it ever okay to start a list with a sentence ending in a period instead of a colon? ("To determine the answer, use the following concepts.") Does it matter if the list is set off by bullets or that the typesetting is different (by color or font, etc.)? What is the preferred method if both ways are correct? What if it is not a complete sentence? I appreciate the response. Me and a fellow copy editor are at odds.
Q. I do not believe it makes sense to use a bulleted list of one item. If it is just one item, should it not simply be a paragraph? At the end of many of our sections in an advocacy guide we have "Advocacy Reminders." Sometimes there are many; sometimes there is only one reminder. It seems to me if there is one reminder it should be a paragraph.

A tracker is a type of APRS station. The intent of a tracker is to transmit position reports. To do this a transmitter, TNC and GPS are required. Technically you don't have to have the GPS if there is some other way to obtain position information (like typing it in or selecting it from a map display), but having a GPS makes things automatic.
Trackers can be attached to a vehicle, a person, a balloon, or anything that moves around.
Using a map display along with a receiver (or the APRS-IS internet system) the accumulation of position reports appears as a track on a map.
Every APRS transmitting station, trackers included, has to have a unique identification, usually a callsign-SSID pair. The tracker should use an identification callsign of the licensed radio operator acting as the control operator.
Notice that no receiver is required. This means that trackers blindly transmit, and cannot serve as digipeaters, I-Gates or other more sophisticated roles. But stations with receivers can perform a tracking function along with other roles. Blind transmitting means that the tracker needs to be configured in such a way as to avoid unnecessary interference. So trackers are usually low power, 5-watts or less output, and the interval of position reports is the largest interval compatible with the goals of the tracker operator.
Trackers can be made to various degrees of sophistication. Some of them are smart enough to change the position report sending rate based on speed or directional changes. Trackers usually don't have much of a user interface. It is sometimes possible to program the tracker with a computer connection before it is put into service, then the only control might be an on/off switch.
Legal Implications?
A tracker is a radio transmitter so it has to be controlled by a licensed radio operator following the laws and regulations which apply in that jurisdiction.
In the USA, it is generally acceptable to have the tracker be //controlled// by a licensed operator, who could turn it off if it were to start causing interference. (**Don't take this as legal advice!**) The idea of control is not strictly defined. It may be that the tracker is not physically within grasp of the controlling operator, but that he or she can access it within a reasonable amount of time if intervention is required. Usually trackers are not configured for remote control via DTMF, telephone, or other methods as employed in the voice repeater realm.

In retrospect, it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise that 49ers quarterback Alex Smith was unseated by a second-year player.
Colin Kaepernick supplanted Smith as the starter — OK, so Kaepernick is just one of coach Jim Harbaugh's two starters — three games ago and became the 10th quarterback selected in 2011 or '12 to start multiple games this season.
It's all part of a trend, several current and former front-office workers say, where teams now are more likely to turn toward the draft for a quarterback than free agency.
"A lot of it is, guys are coming in better prepared, better coached," said Jon Kingdon, a Raiders scout for more than three decades. "More and more, colleges are like a minor-league system for the NFL."
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill learned in Mike Sherman's pro-style offense at Texas A&M. Hence, there was a small learning curve for Tannehill when he arrived in Miami as the No. 8 pick in this year's NFL draft. (It didn't hurt that Sherman now is the Dolphins offensive coordinator.)
Still, Sherman said he is surprised at how well Tannehill is doing in a league famous for chewing up young quarterbacks.
"He's doing things now you expect in the fifth or sixth year for a quarterback," Sherman said.
The same can be said of Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Brandon Weeden, Russell Wilson, Andy Dalton and more.
All started for their respective teams from the outset of their NFL careers and paid immediate dividends.
Former Raiders coach John Madden said when he coached in the '70s that the common thinking was that quarterbacks weren't deemed ready to play for five, six or seven years.
That changed when coaches at all levels started mimicking the NFL.
"They're playing the same football in high school," Madden said. "You go to high school (games), you'll see these same formations. Then, the colleges are playing the same. … I remember when there were only two or three (college) teams that threw the ball."
Kingdon said the switch to pass-heavy attacks in high school and college makes quarterbacks better prepared for the NFL. Teaching methods also are more advanced.
Kaepernick, like Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer, spent his rookie season as an understudy. That's something few high-profile quarterbacks do these days.
Still, when called upon, Kaepernick has had little difficulty adjusting to the speed of the NFL, the intricacies of a pro offense and the myriad looks posed by defenses.
Coincidentally, the proliferation of quarterbacks making a seamless transition from college to the NFL has the potential to have a direct impact on the free-agent market.
Which brings us back to Smith.
The Seattle Seahawks are paying Matt Flynn $8 million this season to stand on the sideline because of Wilson's meteoric rise from third-round draft pick to immediate starter.
Contrast that to the $3 million Wilson is slated to earn in his first four seasons.
Flynn was the prize quarterback of this year's free-agent class. Smith just might wind up with that label this offseason.
Is any team going to pony up anything near the $8 million or so Smith earned this season, when promising youngsters such as Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, Geno Smith, Aaron Murray and Landry Jones are ready to hit the NFL next season?
Schiano brought with him from Rutgers the mindset that end-of-game kneel-downs by the quarterback aren't uncontested plays. That rubbed New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin the wrong way, when the Buccaneers crashed the so-called "victory formation" in an attempt to get at Eli Manning and force a fumble.
Now, a Schiano proposal that would eliminate kickoffs — a cause close to his heart after Eric LeGrand was paralyzed on a kickoff play at Rutgers in 2010.
Schiano's idea, which is actually being considered by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, calls for a team to retain possession of the football after scoring a touchdown or field goal, setting up at their own 30-yard line in a fourth-and-15 situation. Teams would then choose to either punt or gamble on converting the fourth-down play.
In essence, kickoffs would become punts — statistically a safer play.
"I understand traditionalists don't agree, but there used to not be the forward pass, too, and the game would be pretty boring without it, so … ," Schiano told reporters in Tampa Bay. "I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying you've got to be able to think outside the box and whatever is best for the players, because at the end of the day these guys are the ones that are putting it on the line."

Brain-dead Canadian woman kept on life support to save fetus
Send a link to a friend
[February 05, 2014]
By Julie Gordon
VANCOUVER (Reuters) — A 32-year-old Canadian woman who has been
declared brain dead is being kept on life support in a Victoria,
British Columbia hospital, with doctors working to keep her alive
long enough to deliver her unborn son.
Robyn Benson was just 22 weeks pregnant when she
complained of a headache and then collapsed on her bathroom floor,
according to postings on a blog and fundraising site by her husband
Dylan Benson. Her fetus, already named Iver Cohen Benson, has
continued to grow in the womb.
"On December 28th, I lost my wife to a sudden hemorrhage of blood to
her brain," Benson wrote. "Based on my decision, they are attempting
to keep her body alive for up to 7 more weeks ... Incredibly, they
have been successful in doing this for 5 weeks now."
The goal is to wait until the fetus reaches 34 weeks, giving the
baby a greater chance of survival, according to Benson. He wrote
that doctors plan to deliver his son via cesarean section and that
the baby will spend his first few weeks in hospital.
That sets up a bittersweet deadline for the family, who will welcome
a new baby and then take the mother off life support.
"It is very difficult to know that our son will grow up never
meeting his wonderful mother, and that we will have to say our
goodbyes to Robyn within hours of seeing Iver for the first time,"
Benson wrote. "She was my rock. She did so much for us, and I can't
believe I won't get to talk to her again."
The tragic story differs from a controversial case in Texas, where
Marlise Munoz, a pregnant brain-dead woman was removed from life
support at her husband's request last month after a lengthy court
battle. Her husband said Munoz had told him she did not want to be
kept on life support. Unlike the Benson baby, which is healthier,
Munoz's fetus had already suffered oxygen deprivation and appeared
to have deformed lower extremities, according to court documents.
Texas authorities had fought to keep Munoz on life support in a case
that sparked fierce debate over the rights of a fetus versus the
right to die.
A spokeswoman for the Vancouver Island health authority confirmed
that there is a patient named Robyn Benson in the intensive care
unit at the Victoria General Hospital, but was not able to provide
further details due to privacy issues.
[to top of second column]
The Benson family's plight has gripped people across Canada and
around the world, with donations on their fundraising site topping
C$85,000 ($76,700) early on Tuesday.
That has far exceeded the C$36,000 goal set by Benson, who had hoped
to raise funds for bills, baby supplies and to allow him to more
time at home with his new son after the birth.
"I just wanted to reach out and say thank you to each and every one
of you that have read our story and to those who have donated and/or
shared," he wrote on the site on Monday. "We are overwhelmed with
the response from not only the community, but now the nation and

Have a sneaking suspicion that your guy might be cheating on you? Check his waistline.
According to a new study, men lose an average of six pounds when they're sneaking around. (Um...can we say busted?)
Why does weight drop away along with fidelity? For one, sneaking around on your number one is stressful, and researchers say that stress is a known pounds shedder.
Then, there's the fact that wayward dudes are likely to adopt a fitness routine so their bods look hot for the new ladyfriend. (It should be noted that the same weight-loss effect was found in cheating women—though, we lose an average of 10 pounds when we're having an affair.)
So should we hope our men are lazy asses who park themselves on the couch for all eternity? We think not. But if you notice your notoriously, lovably schlumpy guy starting to pump iron on the reg, either he's trying to get fit and be hotter for you—or perhaps you have reason to suspect something's up.

Noisy Jelly Turns Your Gelatin Into Musical Instruments
In today's "totally weird invention" file (we have an actual file but it's very thin), we present "La Gelee Musicale" or Noisy Jelly, a project by Raphaël Pluvinage and Marianne Cauvard that transforms ordinary household gelatin desserts into electronic musical instruments.
First, you create a variety of geometric shapes with the molds, colors and agar agar (a thickening agent). Once the molds have set, pop out your Jell-O, set it on a special electronic board, and start to play.
The strength of the finger contact, amount of salt in the gelatine and shape of the form all control the soundwaves. As the gelatine degrades and melts, the sound also changes.
We think Skrillex needs to start playing some sweet drops on this thing.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Since scoring just nine runs in a four-game skid at Dartmouth two weeks ago, the Yale baseball team has come alive at the plate. The Bulldogs came into Tuesday's non-conference finale against Holy Cross having scored 37 runs in their last three contests. Yale continued to produce offensively against the Crusaders, tallying nine runs in the nine-inning contest, but the visitors matched the Bulldogs swing-for-swing in the midweek game en route to an 11-9 victory. Freshman centerfielder Cam Squires went 3-for-5 with an RBI out of the lead-off spot for the Bulldogs, while senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth extended his hitting streak to 17 games with two RBI singles.
With the loss, Yale falls to 17-20-1. The Crusaders move to 22-19 on the season.
With his pair of RBI hits, Larsson-Danforth has driven in 39 runs in 38 games. Junior third baseman Andy Megee added a three-run triple, which broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the second inning. Sophomore outfielder Charlie Neil had two hits, including a home run, while Squires and junior second baseman Gant Elmore chipped in with an RBI apiece.
The contest was a "staff game" for both teams, as 13 different pitchers took the mound at Yale Field. Megee (0-2) pitched the last two innings for Yale and took the loss, surrendering two runs on two hits. Despite blowing the save in the bottom of the eighth inning, Ryan George (2-2) closed out the contest to earn the win for Holy Cross. Senior right-hander Joe Castaldi and junior left-hander Brook Hart, who each worked one inning, were the only two of the eight Bulldogs' pitchers used that did not surrender an earned run.
Holy Cross got on the board first in the game, as Matt Perry hit a towering two-run home run over the scoreboard in dead centerfield in the top of the first inning. Yale would take one run back in its first at-bat, as a Squires bunt single jump started the offense. The speedy centerfielder moved to second base on an Elmore groundout and then scored when a screaming groundball off the bat of Larsson-Danforth that hopped clear over Crusaders' shortstop Alex Maldonado to cut the deficit to 2-1.
After freshman Avery Lanman tossed a 1-2-3 second inning, the Bulldogs took their first lead of the day with a four-run second inning. It took just one pitch for Yale to knot the score, as Neil sent a first-pitch fastball from Matt Croglio over the wall in left field for a solo home run. Three batters later, sophomore right fielder Zach Tobolowsky started a two-out rally with a walk. Squires followed with a single up the middle, and Elmore then loaded the bases by reaching on a Perry fielding error. That error sent Croglio to the locker room, and left-hander John Pedrotty was greeted rudely by Megee with bases-clearing triple. The trio of unearned runs gave Yale the lead at 5-2.
Holy Cross responded with four runs of their own in the top of the third inning, as four different Crusaders notched RBI hits in the frame. The visitors then took a 7-5 lead in the next inning as John Sills picked up his second RBI of the day with a run scoring groundout.
The Elis closed the gap in their next at-bat courtesy of three straight singles. Tobolowsky started the streak, followed by Squires, and then capped by a run-scoring base-hit off the bat of Elmore that ran the score to 7-6. The tying run came in the next inning, as junior designated hitter Trey Rallis led off with a double. He then moved to third on a Neil groundout and later raced home on a wild pitch uncorked by Holy Cross right-hander Josh Hauser.
The 7-7 stalemate was short-lived, as the Crusaders manufactured a run in each of the next two innings to claim a 9-7 edge. Yale would tie the score one final time in the bottom of the eighth inning off of Holy Cross closer Ryan George. Freshman pinch-hitter Josh Scharff led off the frame with a ground-rule double to right field and was replaced at second base by senior Stephen Miehls. Miehls would take third on a wild pitch and then came home to score on a sacrifice fly by Squires. With the bases now cleared, Elmore resumed the rally by drawing a walk, and then stole second. With two outs in the inning, Larsson-Danforth singled to right field to pick up the game-tying RBI. The Bulldogs failed to break the 9-9 deadlock, as George pitched out of a bases-loaded jam to end the inning.
The Crusaders snapped the tie in their next at-bat, as Nick Ciardiello hit a one-out double to right field to plate Steven Tkowski with the go-ahead run. Holy Cross tacked on another run in the frame, and George pitched a perfect ninth to seal the 11-9 victory.
The Bulldogs will have less than 24 hours to bounce back, as Harvard returns to Yale Field tomorrow to wrap-up the season series. First pitch of the Wednesday twinbill is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Padraig Harrington/Getty Images
Padraig Harrington won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, while the other guys were surveying the view Padraig surprised them with a 35 ft birdie, and went on to win the tournament, fully focused on golf.
The eighth green at Port Royal Golf Course, offers pleasure seekers an ocean view that can leave you breathless, it was certainly spectacular when Webb Simpson, Keegan Bradley, and Bubba Watson decided not to survey their birdie putts on eight; instead, they marched to the back of the green, accompanied by their caddies, Paul Tesori, Steve Hale, and Ted Scott, respectively, and the six of them put the business of golf on hold to indulge a sight that left them in awe.
Keegan Bradley said;
"It's up there with any view in the world, it's nuts. I am amazed at the view and since it was so calm out, it was better than I'd ever seen it."
Webb Simpson agreed;
"Pebble Beach is the most beautiful place I'd ever been, until I came to Bermuda. It's like Pebble, the same views, but with clear water. It's beautiful. I could stay there all day."
Padraig was more interested in his golf, mainly because it was only five days ago he was hitting balls back home in Ireland, preparing himself mentally for a lengthy flight to play in China at the BMW Masters. Out of the blue Ernie Els somehow managed to hurt his ankle and had to pull out of the Grand Slam of Golf. The very next day, Padraig's entry was confirmed, so he skipped China, and joined the tournament in Bermuda. Talking about the viewing antics of the American trio, knowing full well why Simpson, Bradley, and Watson were paying so very little attention.
" I felt very lonely ! It was as beautiful a scenic spot as you could find anywhere in the world, and when you made a birdie and holed a long putt, it's even nicer. Hard to believe. It was always the right decision to come, no matter what."
