PORTLAND, Maine—When this city instituted a new inspection sticker program for fire alarms in commercial businesses and multi-unit residences a few years ago, the industry supported it as a way to ensure public safety and create a level playing field for local fire alarm companies.
But now the Maine Burglar & Fire Alarm Association says the city is not properly enforcing the inspection requirements, creating a disadvantage for companies that do follow the regulation, which Portland was the first city in Maine to require when it was put place since 2011.
YARMOUTH, Maine—Calls to expand mandates for carbon monoxide detectors in commercial buildings in New York and Maine have resulted from recent cases in those states of poisonings by the deadly gas—one of them fatal.
PORTLAND, Maine—New training and inspection requirements for companies that install and service fire alarm systems here in Maine's largest city aren't perfect, but are a positive development for public safety and the industry, according to some industry representatives who worked with the city as it drafted the rules.

At the end of last season, Toll Gate football coaches penciled in David Babcock as the team's next quarterback. In pre-season camp, when Aaron Travers and Joe Brosnahan joined Babcock in a competition, it was Travers who won the job and Babcock who moved to running back. Three weeks into the season, coaches decided both Babcock and Travers would be more comfortable if they traded positions.
Through all of that – every step of the journey back to the quarterback position – Babcock didn't much care where he lined up.
"It sounds corny, but I just wanted to do whatever I could to help the team," said Babcock, a senior captain.
Corny or not, head coach Matt Mancuso was happy to hear that.
It allowed the Titans to be flexible, to try some different things, and ultimately, to put their best foot forward. While it's been a struggle all year on the scoreboard – Toll Gate is 0-6 overall – the team has made some headway in recent weeks and is hopeful that it can get into the win column before all is said and done.
Babcock leads the charge, both with his playmaking ability and with his willingness to do whatever it takes.
"That was the big thing," Mancuso said. "We knew if we switched him to running back, he wouldn't care and if we moved him back to quarterback, he wouldn't care. He said, 'Coach, I just want to play. I have no problem with it.' Some kids just say that, but he never showed anything different in practice."
Babcock has bounced around before. As a junior, he was a contributor all over the field, seeing time at quarterback, running back and wide receiver, as well as linebacker and defensive back.
He figured he'd settle in at quarterback this year, but things changed during preseason camp. Babcock was having some arm trouble after pitching all summer on the baseball diamond, and Travers was steadily emerging as a viable dual-threat quarterback. Travers is a junior, and Mancuso liked the idea of building an offense around a quarterback for more than one year.
The switch was made.
"David had no problem with it," Mancuso said.
In the first two games of the season, though, the Titans couldn't get much going. Babcock wasn't at his best at the running back position, while Travers seemed to excel at making plays with his feet.
After a 26-6 loss to Warwick Vets, the Titans switched things up again.
"We gave it a shot, and it just looked like David felt more comfortable at quarterback and Aaron felt more comfortable at running back," Mancuso said.
The results haven't changed the course of Toll Gate's season. The Titans lost 37-12 in their first game after the switch and are still looking for their first victory.
But the offense is looking more smooth every week. Last Friday, the Titans lost to Ponaganset but had their moments. Babcock made one of the biggest plays of the game when he dropped back to pass and then scrambled for a 25-yard gain that set up a touchdown.
"We haven't put up great numbers but it looks a little better than it did early in the season," Mancuso said. "David has made some big plays."
He's also helped set the tone. While the Titans have struggled, they've come together and haven't packed it in. Babcock has been one of the leaders of that effort.
"He hates to lose," Mancuso said. "The kids know it. He doesn't like when the kids aren't taking it seriously. He's a true leader. He hasn't quit on us, and I don't think anybody has really quit on us. I think a lot of that is they look at someone like David. He's here every day, playing hard. His shoulder's busted up. He had a big cut on his face earlier in the season that he played through. He's a true example of a leader."
And wherever he lines up, those qualities are shining through.
"That whole 'As long as you're having fun' thing, no way," Babcock said. "You've got to strive to do better. We've had a tough time with it, but I think as we mature, we'll be able to overcome the adversity. We're a young team. We only have five seniors. We need people to want to get better. You've got to try hard every time."
The Titans have just three league games left, and they'll likely be underdogs in all of them. But their quarterback-turned-running back-turned-quarterback won't let them stop.
"We go into every week thinking we're going to win," he said. "You have to. You can't have a defeatist attitude. We want to go out and win some football games."

Paris Saint Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic delighted Twitter fans yesterday with his 'Dare to Zlatan' campaign.
The Swedish striker, known for his large ego, has launched the campaign encouraging people to 'attempt the impossible' just like he claims to do.
He took part in a question and answer session with fans on Twitter which produced some hilarious results. One fan asked how does one 'Dare to Zlatan'?
"Daring to Zlatan is easy. Start by trying moves that can't be done. Keep trying until you are Zlatan."
Another follower asked him if he was mad, which he responded with: "Am I mad? Would a sane man try a 32 yard overhead kick in an international match? #DareToZlatan"
Ibrahimovic has 23 goals in the league this season, nine ahead of his team mate Edison Cavani who is his nearest challenger in Ligue 1.
Nike have since released a series of YouTube clips with Ibrahimovic, showing him fight through fire, ice and lightning whilst doing skills with a football.
The goalscorer has always had a reputation for arrogance but the Twitter session showed that he embraces it in a comical fashion.
Here are some of the funniest replies the Swede has tweeted in his new campaign.
"Zlatan is just a human. The same way a great white shark is just a fish.
"Failure is the first step to success. The second step is growing a ponytail.
"Learn to unlearn the word 'safe'. Because if you don't know what it means you can't play it.
"Zlatan's favourite stadium is the one with grass and two goals. Every stadium is a potential stage."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Will Brewer has been named Lipscomb University's Director of Golf Programming and head men's golf coach.
Athletics Director Philip Hutcheson announced Tuesday, Sept. 4, that Brewer will begin his duties immediately.
"When considering all of the traits that we were looking for in a coach - proven competitor, established success as a coach, involved in and known throughout the golfing community and a man of character who reflects the values of a place like Lipscomb - I would have felt blessed to have found someone who met two or three of these qualifications," Hutcheson said. "However, in Will, we have all four as he is a coach whose resume seems custom-built for a place like Lipscomb.
"His record as a competitor both during and since college, his accomplishments as a coach and teacher, his experience on the business side of the game and his reputation among all of those with whom he's worked all made him an easy choice to lead our program and to help grow Lipscomb golf throughout the middle Tennessee region and beyond."
Brewer, a 1977 graduate of Lipscomb, was the NAIA National Champion in 1976, a three-time NAIA All-American and and is a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame. He is also a Lipscomb Hall of Fame inductee and was the 1998 Tennessee PGA Player of the Year.
He has served as an instructor, teaching pro and/or director of golf at various places including Belle Meade Country Club, The Golf Club of Tennessee and Legends Club. He was named as Golf Digest's Instructor of the Year for the state of Tennessee and also has been presented the Lou Frank Award for cooperative service and support of the Tennessee Golf Foundation.
His two sons, Clark and Campbell, both played collegiately at Ole Miss and Middle Tennessee, respectively. Brewer has also coached six state high school champions and several college champions. He has also coached tour players as well.
"All that (teaching) is not just swinging a club," Brewer said. "It is mental. It is a Christian world view. I can do all of that here. I am excited.
"The No. 1 thing is we need to rebrand the golf program and No. 2, we need to recruit. If we do those things well we will have the momentum to allow us to have some conversations in the golf community and the Nashville community overall. We want to have a brand that is going to be noticed."
Brewer's passion for the game also helped make his selection to lead Lipscomb's program an easy one of Hutcheson.
"Above and beyond all of the golf accolades, Will is a committed, Christian man who understands, having played and having raised two sons who both played golf collegiately at Ole Miss, MTSU, the expectations, demands and rewards that come as a result of the college athletics experience," Hutcheson said. "I am confident that our program will benefit immeasurably from the combination of knowledge, passion and experience that Will brings to it and we am thrilled to have him here."
Brewer quickly discovered that Lipscomb has changed in many ways since he was a student here and those changes under the leadership of L. Randolph Lowry, university president, made the job even more appealing.
"Dr. Lowry's vision is very attractive to me," Brewer said. "I see where he wants to grow the university and, obviously athletics is a large portion of that because it can be easily branded. This was a very attractive time for me to come back and do this.
"I think I am gifted in teaching and coaching. It is a great opportunity to do this at a university that I love."
Buddy Harston will continue to coach the Lady Bisons golf team, allowing him time to concentrate more on the development of that program.
"For seven years, Coach Harston has done a tremendous job in trying to juggle the all of the things that come with coaching not one, but two, completely different teams in what started as a "part-time" agreement," Hutcheson said. "It has taken a few years to reach the day when our programs could take the next step toward excellence. I appreciate Buddy's willingness to manage our 'growing pains' throughout these past years and I know that all those who love Lipscomb agree.
"Buddy has done so much to not only build our program on the course, but he has also built a tremendous amount of goodwill around the community and we all continue to benefit from that in the years to come. I am so happy that Buddy has agreed to continue to coach the women's team and that he is now able to focus his teaching and mental approach talents on helping one team, as opposed to two, improve."
Hutcheson expects that the combination of coaching talent will elevate both programs.
"With Buddy and Will both able to focus on building their respective squads, I am confident both will prosper and will continue to move up the ranks in the A-Sun and beyond."

Last election, Barack Obama presented himself to the people as the reincarnation ofMartin Luther King Jr.. This election, he seems to have re-invented himself as an apostle of Christ, claiming at the National Prayer Breakfast last week that his economic policies are in line with Jesus' teachings. He has thus gone from the laughable to the blasphemous.
Not only does President Obama pale in comparison to King, but does he really think that Jesus sanctions his anti-life policies of contraception, homosexuality and abortion? Does he really believe that the murder of innocent children through abortion is good for the economy? Whose economy? On top of that, he has the twisted audacity to suggest those who oppose his anti-life policies are chattels to a "phony religiosity." Citizens, don't be fooled again!

The Crimson looks for another 20-win season in 2012-13.
(Photo Courtesy: Gil Talbot)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Harvard women's hockey team returns for the 2012-13 season looking to build off an impressive 22-9-1 record and a trip to the semifinals at the ECAC tournament last season. The Crimson will play a 29-game season with a foreign exhibition against Russia scheduled before the winter holidays on Dec. 1.
Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, returns for a 19th season as head coach and hopes to build upon her legacy as the winningest coach in the history of Division I women's hockey. After coaching the U.S. women's national team to a runner-up finish at the IIHF Women's World Championship during the offseason, Stone was named the head coach for the 2014 U.S. women's Olympic team.
Harvard started last season with four away games and managed a 3-1 record. This season will commence with five straight road games as Harvard will kick off their season at Quinnipiac Oct. 26 and Princeton Oct. 27. The Crimson continues its road trip against Brown Nov. 2 and Yale Nov. 3. On Nov. 18 Harvard will round out the opening road matches and make the short trip across the Charles to take on Boston University.
After Thanksgiving, Harvard enjoys three home games in a row including Dartmouth Nov. 30, a foreign exhibition against Russia Dec. 1, and Providence Dec. 7. The Crimson will travel to New Hampshire Dec. 8 for the final game in 2012.
After the winter holidays, the Harvard women resume their season with two road games against Union Jan. 4 and Rensselaer Jan. 5. The Crimson then comes back home for a five-game homestand against Princeton Jan. 11, Quinnipiac Jan. 12, Connecticut Jan. 15, Rensselaer Jan. 18, and Union Jan. 19.
Harvard will pick up the season a week later, traveling to Clarkson Jan. 25 and St. Lawrence Jan. 26. The Crimson continues with games at Dartmouth Feb. 1 and the first game in the 35th Women's Beanpot at Northeastern against Boston College Feb. 5.
The Harvard women come back home to take on rivals Yale Feb. 8 and Brown Feb. 9. After the final round of the Beanpot Feb. 5, the Crimson embarks on its final road games of the season at Cornell Feb. 15 and at Colgate Feb. 16.
Harvard finishes its season at home with matchups against St Lawrence Feb. 22 and Clarkson Feb. 23.
The ECAC quarterfinals will take place March 1-3, with the semifinals and finals taking place a week later.

By early 1963 he had enough stories for a book. He also had an aesthetic vision. In the second issue of [the arts magazine] Location he took part in a debate about the future of fiction in which Saul Bellow argued that the modern novel was "predominantly realistic" because "realism is based upon our common life." Barthelme countered that a "mysterious shift...takes place as soon as one says that art is not about something but is something," when the literary text "becomes an object in the world rather than a commentary upon the world."One could chew on this paragraph for a long time. What exactly is the relationship of a work of art to the world? A Mark Rothko or Franz Kline, say, might seem to satisfy Barthelme's notion of "an object in the world rather than a commentary upon the world" -- pure abstraction, nothing "realistic" to get one's teeth into. But then what is the source of the power of these works to move us deeply? Surely they draw that power from the world, if nothing else from human psychology which is part of the world. It is hard to imagine a work of visual art or literature -- or music, even -- that does not in some direct or indirect way make commentary upon the world. What gives a work of art its power is the energy that flows back and forth between the representation of a thing and the thing itself. When we look at a Mark Rothko we are looking at an object that is as realistic as a tree; we are also looking in a mirror at our own deepest selves.
Where does science fit in this discussion? Bellow's realism might seem to be the obvious answer. Science is a matter of consensus knowledge "based upon our common life." But a scientific theory also "is something," rather than being just "about something." Einstein said that we discover the deep truths of nature only by "free inventions of the mind." The equations of quantum electrodynamics, for example, sprang as much from a search for pure aesthetic symmetry as from any empirical imperative. They predict that the electron should have a magnetic strength of 1.00115965214; the measured value is 1.00115965219. The "mysterious shift" of which Barthelme spoke flows both ways, from theory to world and back again, like a spark leaping between two poles.
This is a subject that would require a book to properly explore, or at least a long summer night on the porch.

Compare cheap flights from Singapore to Lilongwe
When is the cheapest time to fly to Lilongwe?
There are a few direct flights to the Lilongwe International Airport. Some international flights are from Zambia, Kenya, and South Africa. Air Malawi, the national carrier of the country, operates most of the domestic flights.
A political view
There are several government offices located in the city, the most interesting of which is the Parliament Building. The place has been abandoned for quite some time, despite the fact that millions were poured into its construction. Lately, this grand place has been used for some political and private functions.
An Asian delight
If you have been in the city for quite some time, you must have tried a lot of authentic Malawian dishes already. For a change, you can try Green Bamboo Garden. This place offers some of the best Chinese dishes in the country. It also has some private rooms where you can sing your heart out with their karaoke machine.
Lilongwe is getting more popular these days. If you want to be among those who rave to see its beauty, book a flight via Skiddoo now.

ST. PETERSBURG — Buck Showalter sat on the Orioles' bench before the game and offered this bit of baseball philosophy.
"It's a cruel sports world,'' the former Yankees manager said. "You are getting in that time of year where, for the first time since February, a game that could be played where there is a sense of finality to it.''
That game is lurking for the Orioles.
While the Yankees were beating up the Dead Sox, 10-2 last night, the Orioles ran into the buzzsaw that is the Rays pitching staff and wound up with a critical 5-3 loss at Tropicana Field, falling one game behind the Yankees in the race for the AL East with two games to go.
Destiny is no longer in the Orioles' hands. If the Yankees can put together two more wins against the depleted Red Sox, the Orioles cannot catch them and Baltimore will play Friday's do-or-die wild-card game. There is no room for error now for the Orioles.
Showalter knew the Yankees would have a big game last night.
"They're playing at home the last three games, you know that's a given,'' he said. "We have to take care of ourselves.''
He also had heard through the baseball grapevine that Dustin Pedroia was injured.
It has been a crazy two days for the Orioles. The team charter had to be diverted Sunday night to Jacksonville because of problems with a microwave oven and smoke in the galley. After being checked out, the plane took off again and landed at St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport around 11 p.m.
There was a champagne toast at the team hotel for making the postseason for the first time since 1997.
"We said a few words and then everybody got to bed,'' Showalter said. "I think everybody was disappointed they couldn't share it with the fans, but now the goal is to figure out a way to play more games at Camden Yards.''
That goal is tougher because Alex Cobb pitched seven strong innings for the Rays, allowing one run. The Rays scored three times in the seventh. The rally started because rookie Manny Machado committed an error on Evan Longoria's grounder to third.
Machado, a shortstop who has saved the Orioles with his fine play at third, admitted the turf at the Trop played differently than he expected and he should have taken a few more grounders during batting practice to prepare. Little things mean so much this time of year.
Also, Adam Jones rolled his ankle running the bases, but in Derek Jeter-like fashion said he is fine.
"We didn't take care of our business,'' Jones said. "When it comes to the Yankees, we can't control them.''
Former Yankee Kyle Farnsworth surrendered a two-run home run to Chris Davis in the ninth. Two more Orioles reached base against closer Fernando Rodney, but Rodney took control. He struck out Jim Thome and Mark Reynolds, then got pinch-hitter Endy Chavez on a comebacker to pick up his 47th save.
The Athletics' 4-3 win over the Rangers last night eliminated the Rays, who have won 11 of 12, and the Angels in the wild-card race.
For the Orioles, on the other hand, the bottom line is they are in the postseason.
"They did it,'' Buck said of his players. "It's all about them. They were relentless in their pursuit and still are. They raised the bar about what they wanted to do here.''
The Orioles are without Nick Markakis, who is out with a broken left thumb after being hit by a pitch from CC Sabathia on Sept. 9. Doctors will wait another week to take the pins out. Then he will be in a splint.
"We're talking about a minimum of three weeks [without] Nicky,'' Showalter said. "That Sabathia fastball did a lot of damage.''
Showalter is holding out hope that Markakis will play again this year.
"We know what, three weeks from now, what is happening in baseball, so we'll keep plugging,'' he said. "There are a lot of bridges to cross.''
The road gets more difficult and fascinating each day.

This year, we missed both the Grammy awards and the red carpet. We've been on a pretty good streak so far with awards shows, but today I wanted to take the day off and instead, I went to go see "50 Shades Darker" with a couple of my girlfriends. At dinner later on, the show happened to be airing at the restaurant we were at so I caught a few glimpses, but we're likely going to catch up on all the notable performances and speeches in the next day or two. As always, Grammy fashion is sometimes the award show that produces the most talked about outfits so with that, here are our favorites along with ones that we feel we have to highlight just because!

MANKATO, Minn. — A pilot and his passenger are OK after their light plane crashed in southern Minnesota.
The Blue Earth County sheriff's office contacted the pilot after hearing that the plane had crashed Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Albert Lea man said he and his 19-year-old brother had taken off from the Wells airport about 45 minutes before the crash.
The pilot says the plane's engine began to lose power, so he tried to land on a county road but ended up putting the plane down in a corn field.
The plane flipped over. Neither man was hurt.
Authorities say the four-seat Piper Tri-Pacer appears to be a total loss.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.

Are Canadian Politicians Finally Recogizing There's More Than One Side To Copyright?
from the that-would-be-nice dept
The average age of a Member of Parliament is 55. And I point that out, only to underline the fact that the average Canadian watches about 26 hours of television a week. Those under the age 25, it's about 12 hours a week. But they're consuming more media than ever before. But, they're consuming it where they want it on their iPhones and on their Blackberries and on their PVRs and on their laptops. And they're doing it through mechanisms that didn't exist.It's great to see some politicians at least having a sense of the opportunity, rather than the "threat" posted by new technologies. Hopefully he can back those statements up when the time comes.
And you'd be surprised the number of Members of Parliament who have never held an iPhone, who couldn't tell you, functionally, how a Blackberry works and have no idea how these things integrate. And when you ask the average member of Parliament "How do you consume your music?" They'll say "well, maybe I'll go out and buy a CD and drop it in the thing or maybe I'll hear something on the radio on the way" and you say "How do you watch movies" and they'll say "Well, I'll go out to the theater when I have the time on a Friday night or maybe rent a DVD at home" and you say "How do you listen to radio or get your news?" and they'll say "Well, I'll sit at 6 o'clock after the meal, finish a steak and watch the news, or get the paper in the morning."
The old way of doing things is over. These things are all now one. And it's great and it's never been better and we need to be enthusiastic and embrace these things.
I point out the average age of a member of parliament because don't assume that those who are making the decisions and who are driving the debate understand all the dynamics that are at play here. Don't assume that everybody understands the opportunities that are at play here and how great this can be for Canada. Tony is doing his job and I'm going to do my job and be a cheerleader and push this and to fight for the right balance as we go forward. The opportunities are unbelievable and unparalleled in human history.

History Maker: Brutally Raped Survivor Get's A New Law Passed To Keep Violent Rapists In Prison For Entire Sentence! "Kimberlee's Law"
"Kimberlee's Law was signed by Governor Bill Haslam Tuesday afternoon. The law was conceived from the story of Kimberlee Morton. Kimberlee was brutally raped, stabbed, and burned with bleach in 1998 by a man she thought was her friend. She later found out, Carlos Thomas was released from prison early for good behavior. He served just 85 percent of his sentence."

Vault of the Secret Formula
Security System Monitor
Project Group
DateDecember 2011
LocationWorld of Coca-Cola, Atlanta, GA
Other Media
Live compositing of a real-time video feed transforms a standard security monitor into an immersive experience.
A security monitor on the wall shows a live feed of the room. The screen confronts visitors. As they turn the corner, they see themselves captured as part of the security system. But this security monitor is not what it seems.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure, the man in the hat, appears and physically manipulates the camera. As he does, live video overlays change the image: now it's thermal, now it's pixelated. This effect is performed using live compositing of a real-time video feed.

Soehadiweko Djojodihardjo (1918-1988)
No one person has had a more profound influence in the growth and development of the Gereja Injili di Tanah Jawa (Evangelical Church of Java) from the time of its formation in 1940 to the present than Soehadiweko Djojodihardjo (b. 4 October 1918, d. 16 September 1988). As the son of another extraordinary church leader, Sardjoe Djojodihardjo, Soehadiweko as a youth already demonstrated remarkable capabilities. Mission policy in the 1930s provided for only limited leadership training. The normal school in Margorejo, which earlier served a key role in leadership training, was closed in the 1920s because of financial pressure. In 1937 two promising young leaders, Soewignjo Harsosoedirdjo and Siswojo were sent to Bale Wiyoto Theological Institute in Malang, East Java. Soehadiweko Djojodihardjo was the only person sent to study at the Hogere Theologische School (Higher Theological School) in Batavia (Jakarta).
All of Soehadiweko's books and notes from his study in Batavia were destroyed when the train on which he returned to his home was set on fire and destroyed. This experience inaugurated for him personally the baptism in fire—martyrdom, mob violence in Muslim uprisings, oppressive occupation, famine, revolutionary struggle—that his church was to experience in the decade of the 1940s. Soon Soehadiweko was standing with his father, carrying key church leadership responsibilities. After the uprisings in 1942 Soehadiweko was among the two teams of two sent to ascertain the consequences of violence for the churches. In 1943 he was chosen as synod secretary. During the tense days of the revolution (1945-1950), by virtue of their affiliation with the allegedly Dutch religion, Javanese Christians were accused of complicity with the Dutch effort to retake Indonesia as a colony. Thus the church lived under the constant threat of violence at the hands of radical Muslim nationalists. In this situation the synod appointed Soehadiweko to the intelligence office of the revolutionary forces while other younger members of the church engaged in other aspects of the struggle.
Soehadiweko was still quite young when he was called to take over pastoral responsibilities at the point of his father's untimely death in 1948. Shortly thereafter he was also chosen to serve as chairman of the synod, a position he filled for more than 30 years. During this period the congregation he co-pastored (for a time together with Esther Soesanto) spawned dozens of branch fellowships, more than a dozen of which became mature congregations. The number of congregations in the synod expanded during this time from 18 to 52. His rich pastoral ministry went far beyond the circles of his congregation and synod. Sometimes this ministry was carried out in the midst of violent political and religious upheaval such as during the aftermath of the failed coup attempt in 1965.
Soehadiweko also played key roles at the board level in developing many of the synod's ministering agencies. One of the most significant of these has been the theological college in Pati, Akademi Kristen Wiyata Wacana. At the same time Soehadiweko for decades was chairman of the board of ecumenical institutions like Satya Wacana Christian University in Salatiga and Duta Wacana Theological Seminary in Yogyakarta with his fellow churchman from the Pati congregation, Pirenamoelja, serving as secretary. These complemented a long-term role as a key participant in the activities of the Council (now Fellowship) of Churches in Indonesia and involvement in the Asian Mennonite Conference and the Mennonite World Conference beginning in 1952.

ASM Headquarters, 1752 N Street NW, Washington DC
Why are obesity, juvenile diabetes and asthma increasing? Is it something in the environment or in our modern lifestyle? Dr. Martin Blaser thinks that it may be due to changes in our microbiome – the ecosystem of tiny microscopic creatures that live in and on us. Learn about his hypothesis that some of the greatest medical advances in the 20th century – antibiotics, C-sections and antiseptics- may be having unintended consequences.
- Dr. Martin Blaser, New York University
Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria | June 25, 2015 | 5:30-7:00pm
ASM Headquarters, 1752 N Street NW, Washington DC
In 2011, the NIH Clinical Center had a cluster of infections of a pathogen that tops the CDC's list of urgent threats: antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. This bacteria, which can cause bloodstream and other infections, has recently developed resistance to the class of antibiotics known as carbapenems. The outbreak at NIH started with a single infected patient who was discharged weeks before any other cases were detected. This story of antibiotic-resistant infections is becoming more common around the world, and is especially dangerous in hospitals. Dr. Julie Segre, a senior investigator at the National Human Genome Research Institute, will discuss how the outbreak was traced using state-of-the-art DNA sequencing.
The Elizabeth O. King Lecture is made possible by The New York Community Trust-The Audrey Rheinstrom and Anne Blevins Fund.

3 stars (out of 4)
What do Spoon's Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner and the New Bomb Turks' Sam Brown do with their down time? Form another band, apparently -- and a pretty good one, at that.
The trio, calling themselves Divine Fits, debuts with "A Thing Called Divine Fits" (Merge), which bridges lean, new-wave melody and electro-rock repetition. Even for avowed minimalists like Daniel and Boeckner, this album is ruthlessly pared back. That puts an almost unnatural focus on the tiniest of details: the click of castanets on "Flaggin' a Ride," the shake of maracas on "Would That Not Be Nice," the percussive heavy-breathing vocals in the hypnotic "Like Ice Cream," the bass riff that rises up like an angry neighbor shouting, "Keep it down!" every few bars in "What Gets You Alone."
Keyboardist Alex Fischel is the secret weapon, giving the whole thing a retro-futurist vibe with his icy textures and nervous rhythms. He would've fit right in on an early Cars or Devo album, and he gives Divine Fits a splash of neon. As detours go, Divine Fits suggests that Daniel, Boeckner and Brown are doing a lot more than just killing time, if not eclipsing their other, better-known bands.

Top-seeded Otterville boys beat No. 2 Jamestown, 54-41
The Bunceton Lady Dragons basketball team had the height while the Jamestown Lady Eagles had the speed and quickness going into Saturday's championship game in the CCAA Tournament at Bunceton.
While you knew something had to give in a battle of No. 1 versus No. 3, Bunceton's height proved to the difference down the stretch against a much smaller Jamestown team in a 66-64 victory.
As for the championship on the boys side of the bracket, No. 1 Otterville defeated No. 2 Jamestown 54-41.
In other trophy games on Saturday, the Prairie Home boys avenged an earlier loss by beating Bunceton 81-49 in the third-place game while the Otterville girls rallied from six down in the fourth quarter to beat Prairie Home for third place 43-42. Meanwhile, in the consolation games, the Higbee boys and girls turned back Malta Bend by the scores of 57-28 and 55-35, respectively.
While the win improved Bunceton's record to 15-1 on the season, head coach Mike Arnold said it was a great Class 1 high school basketball game.
"The crowd was into it and the players were into it," Arnold said. "It was just a great atmosphere for a championship game. I had the easy job. The kids were the ones that had the tough job. But to be honest I thought Jamestown was shooting three free throws at the end of the game. But that's a tough call to make. We shouldn't have even been in that position. 'I was like don't foul her'."
The no call towards the end of the ballgame that Coach Arnold is referring to is the shot by a Lady Eagle as time was running out behind the three-point arc. While Arnold admits that he thought Jamestown was going to the line to shoot three free throws, the referee instead ruled only that the shot would count had it gone in.
Nonetheless, the game was everything it was made out to be and more between two evenly matched teams.
While the Lady Dragons have four players listed at 5'-9" or better, Jamestown's tallest player stands at only 5'-4".
That proved to be the difference early on as Bunceton worked its magic inside to lead Jamestown by five (17-12) after first period's end. The Lady Dragons also dominated the second quarter while leading Jamestown by as much as seven on five different occasions. But even while Bunceton outscored Jamestown 15-13 in the second, you just had a sense that the Lady Eagles were going to make a comeback at some point in the ballgame even though they trailed 32-25 at the break.
"The first half I would like to congratulate Jamestown," Arnold said. "They are a great team and E.H. does a great job. Those girls never quit and they are 32 minutes up in your grill. We had the height advantage and we used that in the first half. Then, in the second half, we hit a wall but I thought we played through it. I was very proud of the kids."
Of course it didn't look good for Jamestown in the third quarter after Bunceton came out and reeled off eight straight points to push the lead to 14 at 42-28 with 5:01 left. However from the 3:48 mark on for the rest of the period, the Lady Eagles rallied back and outscored Bunceton 9-2 to cut the lead to five at 46-41.
Jamestown also held a 16-14 advantage in the third period.
With only eight minutes remaining to make up for the five-point deficit, the Lady Eagles started to make their move around the four minute mark by cutting the lead to four at 58-54. Then, after trading baskets for the next-two minutes, Jamestown faced an even bigger task while trailing 65-58 with 1:59 remaining.
However the game was far from being over at that point. After junior Rachel Emde hit 1 of 2 shots to give the Lady Dragons the lead at 66-60 with 1:15 left, Jamestown's Alli Muri came back and buried a three to cut the lead to three at 66-63. Then, after two missed free throws by Bunceton, sophomore Stephanie Birkmann hit 1 of 2 shots from the line to make it a two-point game at 66-64.
The Lady Dragons, meanwhile, had a chance to ice the game in the final seconds but missed on two free throws. Then, with the ball and less than 10 seconds left on the clock, Jamestown came down with one final shot that missed its mark behind the three-point arc.
While Jamestown outscored Bunceton 41-34 in the second half, Arnold said he was very concerned in the fourth quarter. "I just put the ball in Erica's and Rachel's hands," Arnold said. "I was very glad that we won of course, but we had to work for it because Jamestown didn't let up. I told the girls when I first got here that the thing that is going to hurt them is their mental toughness and I think tonight we got mentally tough."
Rachel Emde finished the game with a double-double for Bunceton with 28 points and 15 rebounds. She also had five assists.
Maddy Berwanger, meanwhile, finished the game with 13 points, six rebounds and one assist while Erica Kahle added nine points, five assists and three rebounds, Sam Brandes with eight points, six assists, four rebounds and one steal, Deanne Emde with four points, 12 rebounds and one assist and Julia Kahle with four points, three rebounds, one steal and one assist.
For Jamestown, Alli Muri had 14, Lexi Muri 13 and Mackenzie Strother with 11.
In the boys championship game, Otterville led Jamestown 24-21 at the half and 37-31 after three quarters of play. Meanwhile, in the final period, Otterville outscored Jamestown 17-10 to win the game by 13.
Ryan Benny had 18 points in the game for Otterville while Justin Halgren added 10, Jacob Gaskell and Devon Rockett each with nine and Elliott Kroeker with six.
For Jamestown, Isaac Duncan had 11, Trevor Barbour 10 and Alden Rohrbach and Andrew Hardwick each with six.
The girl's third-place game was also close, with Otterville leading 12-9 after first period's end only to have Prairie Home rally back with a 9-4 scoring edge in the second quarter to go up by two (18-16) at the break. Meanwhile, after the Lady Panthers came out in the third quarter and held a 13-11 advantage to push the lead to four at 31-27, Otterville rallied back from a six-point deficit on three different occasions to tie the game at 41-all with 1:37 left in the game.
The Lady Eagles also went on a 8-0 run during that time to go up 41-41 with 24 seconds remaining. Meanwhile, with 13 seconds left, freshman Josie Flood hit 1 of 2 free throws to cut the lead to one at 43-42.
Prairie Home would get no closer as Otterville held on in the final seconds for the victory.
Prairie Home coach Linda Scott said this was by far the teams best game of the season.
"We battled every play of the game, the girls showed so much heart in the game," Scott said. "It showed with the tears in the locker room afterwards. The girls are realizing the effort it takes to play good teams from start to finish of each game. Katlynn Watson had a very good game. Katlynn had 15 points, plus she had some great assists. Katlynn and Kendra had two very nice fast break baskets. It was nice to see the two seniors play well together. Kendra also scored 13 points. Defensively, we did a very nice job on the big girl on the inside. We had 29 defensive boards on the night. That really stopped there inside game. Krista Small lead the team with eight rebounds. Late in the game we allowed their press to upset us. We fought so hard to win but it was a great game for the seniors to remember their last CCAA Tournament game. I am so proud of how far this team has come this season."
Stephanie Oswald led the Lady Eagles with 23 points while Hannah Stone added 10 and Whitney Watring with six.
For Prairie Home, who dropped to 7-11 on the season, Katlynn Watson finished the game with 15 points along with four assists, five rebounds and two steals.
Kendra Stinson poured in 13 points along with two rebounds and two steals while Makayla Zey added nine points, seven rebounds and two steals, Ally Small with two points, six rebounds and two assists, Krista Small with two points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals, Josie Flood with one point and four rebounds, Amber Carmichael with one rebound and Kim Hettinger with one steal.
Prairie Home also finished the game shooting 33 percent from the field and 71 percent from the foul line.
Although the Lady Panthers felt like they may have given one away against Otterville, the Prairie Home boys left little doubt in the third-place game against Bunceton while leading from start to finish.
While avenging a 15-point loss (61-46) back on December 18th, the Panthers came out Saturday to lead Bunceton 25-14 after one and 48-23 at the half. Meanwhile, after both teams scored 14 points in the third quarter, Prairie Home all but made it official by outscoring the Dragons 19-12 in the final period to win by 32.
Prairie Home coach Jesse Oswald said the boys had a very good start after coming out a couple nights earlier against Otterville and not being ready to play. "We traded baskets for the first-three or four minutes before going on a big run and building a big first-half lead," Oswald said. "The second half we started a little slow and got away from what worked the first half, but after about five minutes we picked things back up again. This was a game that we played very well from start to finish."
Trever Huth had 30 points to lead all scorers for Prairie Home while Sam Distler chipped in 11, Rayce Kendrick nine, Kody Utterback and Jonathan Brandes each with eight, Klay Holliday with seven, Ben Stock with six and Clinton Campbell with two.
For Bunceton, Ashton Campbell had 20 points, three steals, two rebounds and one assist. Kyler Tucker finished the game with 15 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals while Will Twenter added eight points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal, Aaron Clevenger with six points, five rebounds and three assists, Kyle Held with five rebounds, two assists and one steal and Dylan Custer with two rebounds, one steal and one assist.
In the consolation games, Hope Clark led three players in double figures for the Higbee girls, who led Malta Bend 35-20 at the half and 46-22 after three quarters of play.
