July 31, 2014 — The heart of an astronaut is a much-studied thing. Scientists have analyzed its blood flow, rhythms, atrophy and, through journal studies, even matters of the heart. But for the first time, researchers are looking at how oxidative stress and inflammation caused by the conditions of space flight affect those hearts for up to five years after astronauts fly on the International Space Station. Lessons learned may help improve cardiovascular health on Earth as well.
Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance in the body's ability to handle toxic byproducts from normal, oxygen-consuming cell metabolism. This imbalance produces peroxides and free radicals, which contribute to a number of degenerative conditions. Evidence indicates that oxidative stress and resulting inflammation can accelerate the development of atherosclerosis, a disease in which plaque builds up inside arteries. This disease can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
For this investigation, called Cardio Ox, researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston will look at the function and structure of arteries along with specific biomarkers in the blood and urine that indicate inflammation and oxidative stress. These biological samples will be taken from astronauts before their launch, 15 and 60 days after launch, 15 days before returning to Earth, and within days after landing.
The crew will also take ultrasound scans of the carotid artery thickness and brachial artery dilation, recognized indicators of cardiovascular health, at the same time points, for comparison with the biomarkers. The same measurements will be taken and ultrasounds performed at the regular check-ups that all astronauts have one, three and five years after flight.
"This is the first cardiovascular study to cover such a long period," said Steven Platts, Ph.D., principal investigator. The data will create a picture over time, allowing researchers to examine whether blood vessel changes seen during flight returned to normal sometime after flight. They will also be able to determine if the effects of oxidative stress grow worse over time or if astronauts experience chronic inflammation post-flight.
Many studies have looked at oxidative stress on Earth, but only astronauts are simultaneously exposed to so many factors known to cause it. The unique environment of a space mission combines a number of factors that can increase the risk of oxidative damage and inflammation, including radiation, psychological stress, reduced physical activity and, in the case of extravehicular activity, increased oxygen exposure.
"It's a perfect storm of things known to cause oxidative stress all happening at the same time," Platts explained. "So this study will enable us to answer some important questions, such as, do these factors work together to make things worse? Are any of them at high enough exposure to cause damage?" Knowing more about how space may cause changes in cardiovascular health will help scientists develop measures to counter its negative effects, in space and on Earth.
The pre-flight data provide a snapshot of an astronaut's cardiovascular health before exposure to the space environment, which then makes it reasonable to assume that any changes are caused by exposure to the space environment and not by other factors. Other studies have looked at specific factors such as mental stress or exercise and their relationship to oxidative damage, but the space station provides a unique opportunity to integrate a variety of causes in a single person.
Typically, a study eliminates all variables except one and examines that one, but this investigation looks at how the entire workplace environment affects the body. The same factors also affect people in unique Earth-bound job environments, such as long-haul jet pilots or train engineers, those who work in a small room all day at a radiation plant, or in unique conditions such as Antarctica. Such situations subject people to stress similar to that experienced by astronauts. The disruption of daily rhythm and sleep patterns experienced in space could be extrapolated to shift workers on Earth as well.
Astronaut Scott Kelly participated in the investigation during his time in orbit and recently completed his one-year post-flight checkup. The study is continuing aboard the station, and a total of 12 astronauts in all will participate during the five-year investigation. You could say the subjects are really putting their hearts into it.

Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ is intended to provide more information about Testing at Seattle Central.
- Is the placement test required?
Usually. The placement test is used to decide which classes students need to start with, so almost everyone needs to take it. However, sometimes there are other factors that are considered. For instance, if you have attended another college and have transferred your transcripts of classes, or if you have Advanced Placement (AP) credit, this can affect your placements.
Generally, if you have taken English 101 or higher at another college, you do not need to take the English test. If you have taken college–level Math (100 or higher) in the last three years, you probably do not need the Math test. However, there are exceptions and you should check with the Admissions Office.
- Can I use assessment scores from another college?
Sometimes. Seattle Central will accept COMPASS (native speaker or ESL) or ASSET Test scores from other colleges if they are less than three years old. These are the only tests that are accepted. COMPASS and ASSET are very common entrance exams nationwide; however, every college can be different.
You will need to check with your college to see what test was given. (Note: The University of Washington does not use these tests, and scores from UW are not accepted.) You may also use COMPASS or ASSET scores for Washington State placement reciprocity.
- How do I transfer my scores to Seattle Central?
You will need to request a copy of your scores be sent to Seattle Central. If you have sent transcripts, do not assume that any test scores you have will be on it. They usually must be requested separately.
You can bring them in person to the Testing Office or have them sent by fax or mail. By fax: 206.934.3224. By mail: Seattle Central College / Testing, 1701 Broadway, BE1106, Seattle, WA, 98122.
- I will be attending Seattle Central, but currently live in another state. Can I take the test where I live?
Yes, as long as it is a COMPASS or ASSET Test. You can try checking local colleges to see if they give either of these tests, or you can visit the National College Testing Association's Consortium website to find a Testing center near you. Not all colleges and universities belong to the NCTA, but that is often a reliable source. Please be aware that fees will vary, and will be the sole responsibility of the student.
- Can I use ACT scores at Seattle Central?
Yes! You can use ACT scores at Seattle Central (instead of a COMPASS Test) if they meet college–level minimum scores and are less than three years old. For ACT English placement: At least a 19 on both the ACT English and Reading tests. For math placement: At least a 22 on the ACT Mathematics test. You can submit scores the same way you would submit placement scores (described above) or by contacting the testing company, ACT, Inc. to have your scores sent directly to Seattle Central, school code of 4475.
- Can I use SAT scores at Seattle Central?
Yes, you can use SAT scores at Seattle Central (instead of a Placement Test) if they meet college–level minimum scores and are less than three years old.
Test Date SAT English Placement SAT Math Placement Before March 2016 SAT Writing: 460+ and SAT Reading: 460+ = English 101 placement SAT Math Score: 520+ = Math 102, 103, or 107 placement March 2016 and after SAT Evidence–Based Reading & Writing: 510+ = English 101 placement SAT Math Score: 550+ = Math 102, 103, or 107 placement
You can submit scores the same way you would submit placement scores (described above) or by contacting the testing company, The College Board, to have your scores sent directly to Seattle Central, school code of 4033.
- What about the CLEP Test or AP Credit?
Seattle Central does not currently accept the military College Level Examination Program CLEP Test. Advanced Placement (AP) scores are accepted, but should be submitted to Admissions for evaluation.
- If I transfer scores from another college, will I get the same classes?
Not necessarily. Each college determines its own score requirements for classes. Usually, the placements are roughly the same, but there may be some differences. If you are requesting to use Washington State placement reciprocity, the classes will match as exactly as possible.
- Can I use my test scores from Seattle Central somewhere else?
Maybe. For the other colleges in our District, South Seattle College uses the COMPASS Test for native speakers and ESL; North Seattle College uses the COMPASS Test for native speakers only.
Scores for those tests can transfer there. However, every college chooses its own placement exam and has its own policies for accepting score transfers, so you would need to check with that college. Washington State Community & Technical Colleges will accept COMPASS and ASSET for placement reciprocity.
- How can I transfer my Seattle Central scores somewhere else?
You can come in to get them in person or send a written request by fax or mail. If you come in person, you must show some form of Photo ID. If you request them by fax / mail, make sure it includes your name, Student ID# (or Social Security Number), signature, and the complete address / number where you want the scores sent.
It is also a good idea to leave a number where you can be reached if there is a problem. Please note: requests cannot be taken by phone or by email. Also, all scores are deleted after three years, and you should keep this in mind when making your request.
- What is Placement Reciprocity at Seattle Central?
Placement Reciprocity is a statewide agreement that allows for the following:
Entering students who have qualified for a specific level of preâcollege math, English, or reading, either through course completion or local skills assessment, at one Washington CTC, may have the course placement level honored at another Washington CTC if the student so requests, even if the courses may not be exact equivalents.
Entering students who qualify for entry into college–level math, English, or reading, either through course completion or local skills assessment, will be considered to have met the entry college–level standard at every community and technical college.
Students requesting reciprocity must initiate the process within one year of their initial placement assessment.
If you have questions about Placement Reciprocity, Admissions and Registration staff members are happy to assist you. You may download the Placement Reciprocity form.

Perseverance paying off for Pentecost
TORONTO -- The future appears bright for Max Pentecost after the Blue Jays selected the college catcher with the No. 11 pick of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft. But it wasn't that long ago there were some doubts about whether his career would ever get off the ground.
Pentecost suffered a series of bizarre injuries to his right elbow that almost completely derailed his future in the sport. The problems began during his sophomore season and continued up until graduation. The final diagnosis was a fractured olecranon, which is the bony tip of the elbow that most people would never know the name of.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- The future appears bright for Max Pentecost after the Blue Jays selected the college catcher with the No. 11 pick of the 2014 First-Year Player Draft. But it wasn't that long ago there were some doubts about whether his career would ever get off the ground.
Pentecost suffered a series of bizarre injuries to his right elbow that almost completely derailed his future in the sport. The problems began during his sophomore season and continued up until graduation. The final diagnosis was a fractured olecranon, which is the bony tip of the elbow that most people would never know the name of.View Full Game Coverage
It's still not clear how the injury was originally sustained, but once the problem surfaced it took more than two years for the condition to get resolved once and for all.
"They said, 'Let it heal and rest,'" Pentecost said of the doctor's orders from 2011. "So I did that and it happened again my junior year -- and they pretty much said the same thing, 'Maybe we didn't let it heal long enough.' My senior year, it did the same thing -- and at this point, they said it's going to take something besides rest to heal it.
"So we went ahead and got two screws put in. They chipped away ... put the screws in there, and ever since I haven't had a problem with it."
The scariest part of the injury is that it cost Pentecost an opportunity to turn pro. Even with the elbow issues, Pentecost was a 2011 Southeast All-Region pick, a four-time All-Region selection and was the Georgia State hitter of the year. In an abbreviated senior season, he posted a .295 average with three home runs, eight doubles and 16 runs batted in.
That was enough to pique the interest of the Rangers, who selected Pentecost with their seventh-round pick in the 2011 Draft. They knew about the injury. But once the club took a closer look at his medicals, there were some additional concerns. A fractured olecranon is the type of injury regular doctors see quite often, but in baseball circles it's extremely rare.
At the time, the best-known case of an olecranon injury came when Detroit right-hander Joel Zumaya fractured his in 2010. Zumaya never fully recovered, and his pitching career ultimately came to an end. Texas was concerned about Pentecost suffering a similar fate and asked that a special clause be put into the contract to protect the organization.
That left Pentecost with the choice of turning pro with very little long-term security or fulfilling his commitment to Kennesaw State University.
"It was a really tough decision, and I came really close to signing," Pentecost said. "It was down to the day before I moved into my college apartment, whether or not I was going to sign. It ended up, they put a 90-day clause in my contract -- and at that point, there was only one or two players in MLB that had the surgery.
"Honestly, I didn't know whether it was going to heal or not. At that point, I was still in the cast. ... I looked at it, I can go to college and work on a degree and, if anything, I can show them I can play three or four years without the injury recurring."
Pentecost went on to a full recovery and has since eliminated any lingering doubts teams had about his elbow. After splitting the catching duties in 2012, Pentecost became the regular starter the following year and proceeded to hit .302 with a .374 on-base percentage, three homers and 30 RBIs in 57 games.
It was a breakthrough season, but the real turning point came later that summer in the Cape Cod League. He received the Pat Sorenti MVP Award, after assuming a starring role with the Bourne Braves. Pentecost accounted for almost a fifth of his team's runs and finished third in the league with a .346 batting average. He also ranked in the top five in the league with six home runs, 29 RBIs and a .963 OPS.
The performance came as Pentecost was about to enter his junior year at KSU. He was once again eligible for the Draft, and all of the scouts around baseball were taking notice. The Cape Cod League was where the Blue Jays first expressed serious interest, and it was no longer a matter of if Pentecost would be taken by a team, but how high in the Draft he would go.
"I think that was the whole reason I am where I am today," Pentecost said of his experience in Cape Cod. "Going up there, no one really knew who I was, had never even heard of Kennesaw State. Going up there, I felt like I was going to have to prove myself and prove my game just to prove who I am.
"I made a lot of changes to my game, really played hard, enjoyed it. The overall experience, it was just a blast. The atmosphere was great, the fans were great, the coaches and teams were unreal. The quality of players up there was nothing like I've experienced before -- and being able to play the way I did, that really changed my whole outlook on baseball."
Pentecost returned to KSU in the fall and proceeded to hit .418 with nine homers, 58 RBIs and a 1.104 OPS in 63 games. He was named a candidate for the Johnny Bench Award, which is handed out annually to the NCAA's top catcher, and recently led the Owls to a Cinderella run in the playoffs. The Owls advanced to the NCAA Super Regional for the first time in school history and came up just short of the College World Series with a tough loss to Louisville on Saturday night.
Saturday night's loss still likely stings, but Pentecost can take some solace in the fact that he's about to get down to business. The first task at hand will be coming to terms with the Blue Jays -- with the recommended slot value for the No. 11 pick listed at $2,888,300. At that point, Pentecost could then head to the Minor Leagues -- and it sounds like he's very eager to get the process underway.
"I can't wait to get out there and go play," Pentecost said. "I think there will be one day where I have to clean out my locker and find a ride home, just because my parents had to move me out of my apartment while we were coming to the Super Regional. It's going to be a quick turnaround, get back there and play, and start working on my dream."

Portugal passes bailout test, gets more funding
LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal has passed the latest test of its compliance with the terms of its bailout and qualified for around 5.5 billion euros ($7.5 billion) in further funding from creditors, officials said Thursday.
However, the creditors who lent Portugal 78 billion euros in 2011 refused the government's request to ease next year's deficit target to 4.5 percent of gross domestic product, Deputy Prime Minister Paulo Portas said. The goal remains 4 percent.
The government wanted softer terms on the deficit to ease austerity measures which are widely blamed for an expected third straight year of recession in 2013. The government predicts that the jobless rate, currently at 16.5 percent, will reach 17.4 percent by the end of this year and hit 17.7 percent in 2014.
The economic downturn has fueled fears that Portugal, like Greece, may need a second bailout and prolong the crisis which the 17 countries sharing the euro currency have battled for three years. Portugal is supposed to start borrowing on financial markets again in the middle of next year, but three major international ratings agencies still classify its credit worthiness at junk status.
Inspectors from the so-called troika of bailout creditors — the country's fellow euro members, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund — concluded after a two-week assessment visit to Lisbon that the government is complying with the demands of Portugal's financial rescue agreement, the government and the troika announced.
"The (bailout) program remains broadly on track, with the authorities determined to achieve its objectives," the troika said in a statement. "Provided the authorities persevere with steadfast program implementation, euro area member states have declared they stand ready to support Portugal until full market access is regained."
Portugal needed the bailout in 2011 when it was engulfed by the eurozone debt crisis and came close to bankruptcy. In return, Portugal promised spending cuts and economic reforms, and quarterly disbursements are conditional on its compliance.
The troika said the Portuguese economy is "showing early signs of a recovery" and issued revised forecasts for growth. The economy is now expected to contract by 1.8 percent this year, instead of 2.3 percent. The forecast for 2014 is for growth of 0.8 percent, up from an earlier forecast of 0.6 percent.
The troika said they expect Portugal to meet its deficit target of 5.5 percent this year due to "solid revenue performance and improved expenditure control."
The government needs to find 4.7 billion euros in savings next year. Finance Minister Maria Luis Albuquerque said details of further austerity measures will be published with the 2014 state budget later this month.
The troika said the budget will "aim at rationalizing and modernizing public administration, improving the sustainability of the pension system, and achieving cost savings across ministries."

Eli Lilly Officially Sues Canada For 'Lost Profits' Because Canada Rejected Eli Lilly's Patents
from the incredible dept
A few weeks ago, Eli Lilly's CEO wrote an op-ed piece, claiming that by not granting his company a monopoly, Canada was "suffocating life-saving innovation." That's wrong. And it's obnoxious. For years we've covered how the pharmaceutical industry has actually used patents to hold back life-saving innovations by locking them up, blocking advances, jacking up the price to absolutely insane rates, and by using a variety of other questionable practices (including patenting historical folk medicines). But, more importantly, every country gets to determine what is and what is not patentable. For Eli Lilly to use trade policies to effectively try to negate Canada's patent validity standards is a blatant attack on Canadian sovereignty.
And now the official case has been filed and Eli Lilly is basically demanding that $500 million because Canada decided that an Eli Lilly drug wasn't worth a patent.
Keep this in mind as we discuss the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and the upcoming EU-US trade agreement TTIP/TAFTA, because companies are asking for similar dispute resolution mechanisms, and this could become a big, big deal. Remember how New Zealand recently has put in a law that should mostly ban software patents? Imagine if Microsoft and others suddenly started trying to sue that country for "lost profits" because it won't give them patents on their software.

This scream is from a seven year old boy. You tell them to scream for an audio clip and you never know what will come out. This is a fantastic scream that could be used in a movie, video game, music, or other project. The little boy sounds scared, frightened, hurt, or other emotions. It could be a fun scared, like on a roller coaster as well.
Please be sure to check out my other audio clips, and please rate the clip if you make the purchase!

Marc Goldman, Executive Director, Career Center, Yeshiva University
LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/marcjgoldman Twitter: @MarcGoldmanNYC
Throughout my 20-year career in this business, I have reviewed more than my share of student and alumni resumes. At the beginning of my career, an objective statement was a fairly common element on resumes and one suggested by many career counselors. Over the past two decades, I have heard great debate over this brief introductory statement. And today, it is viewed by some as the appendix (non-vital organ reference) of the resume. Some counselors and employers opine that it should never be included. Others say it can still be helpful to the job seeker to kick off their application document. And of course, the more astute professionals (or fellow alumni of my Psych 101 course at Cornell), will put forth, "It depends."
Here at Yeshiva University, my team has volleyed this bouncing ball of confusion back and forth many times. We decided to take it to the street, so to speak, and survey some of our partner employers to solve this elusive mystery once and for all. What did we learn from this quickie survey of a small sampling of employers?
- 43 percent responded that they are fine with an objective that is a one-line statement of the targeted goal of the resume
- 11 percent responded that they are fine with an objective that is a longer statement including specific candidate qualifications
- 18 percent responded that they are fine with an objective that is more of a detailed summary of the resume
- 27 percent responded that they did not want to see an objective on a resume at all
Basically, we noted a diversity of opinions in our survey results, which mirror the myriad views on the subject I have encountered over time. Where do I stand at this point in my career? No more stalling, Goldman. Fess up and proclaim to the World Wide Web your thoughts on the objective. Here goes nothing…
The objective is – wait for it – OPTIONAL. I have always believed that and still do to this day. There are situations when it can be helpful and effective for an applicant, and there are times when it is useless and pure fluff. Here are a few points related to my philosophy on this "important" topic:
1) An objective can provide a resume with direction when it might not otherwise have a clear one.
2) An objective can note the target of a career transition when the resume content only details transferable skills from indirectly related experience.
3) An objective can help the student with extremely limited experience demonstrate a goal in mind to prospective employers.
4) An objective can provide the introduction you need when a contact is passing along your resume as a referral to another contact and so on and so on. Did I just date myself with this obscure shampoo commercial reference?
5) An objective is unnecessary when there is a strong clear theme to one's resume.
6) An objective is unnecessary when you are sending a cover letter in which you discuss your intentions as an applicant. (Alas, the devil's advocate in me voices the opinion that many employers don't read the cover letter, so maybe an objective is still needed. Ah, the cover letter. A tale for another blog entry!)
7) IF an objective is used on the resume, please be specific. I actually saw one recently that I shall paraphrase as the following, "Looking for a position in the working field." Okay, that's a bit extreme, but you get my meaning.
What does all of this signify in the greater job search scheme of things? Will the objective or absence of one make or break one's shot at that dream opportunity? All I can tell you is that the objective is something quite subjective.

Mark and I sat at the bar and sipped Rioja while picking from a huge pile of olives on a glazed terracotta platter in front of us. There would be a long night of sipping and quaffing ahead, but here we were reconnoitering and enjoying the solidity of heavy, tall bar chairs. I leaned back.
When Carrie and I walked into Ten Bells, it was dark and crowded, but the instant Jorge splashed a taste of sparkling pink Bornard poulsard into a low coupe, the room went bright.
The cork was crumbling, and even after twisting it off the corkscrew, left bits in the worm, but Joe had managed once again to best the elements that were rife with treachery for any lover of older wines. He reached for a round glass decanter and poured the ocher liquid seamlessly from the raised bottle.
Nathan swaggered over with a magnum of some 1982 Brovia and in a hesitating half-step, seemed to wonder if it were really worth it to continue punishing me over an inability to taste German riesling – not to mention the fact that I had bogarted the 2003 Radikon Jakot. Would he relent and tilt some Brovia into my empty glass?
The phone rang on a Tuesday morning. "Hi, it's Michaël. Do you want to go visit Selosse in Avize next week?"
"This is really good," George said, looking deep into his glass of 2000 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay. "It's like an Oregon pinot noir, only so much more elegant."
The room was turning around in the dark. Dark tendrils of Chambertin ran through my mind in swirls and whorls. There was the bed; it looked low, soft and flat. Voices next door may have been wondering where I was, but the bed was speaking in a silent rush of softness. I could sneak beneath the covers and dream of smooth, dark-cherry opulence.

We were racing both weekends and missed the Tour de Fat, the self-descrbed philanthropic cycling circus. In Seattle, the event raised $5,019, drained 19 kegs, 100 cyclists paraded, and 1,000 people partied.
That stats from Portland aren't up yet on New Belgium's site, but you know that was a huge party, as seen in these Flickr photos from Bike Portland. BikePortland's Jonathan Maus blogged it and noted that, "got started with the craziest bike parade I've ever done … closer to 400 showed up." And bystanders were "awestruck at the scene."

HSBC Sucks is a blog designed to serve as a sounding board for individuals against HSBC. The founder is Chris Horton (me) who started the blog after being trapped in a mortgage with HSBC at a high interest rate of over 8% and after a refusal from HSBC to refinance even after proven on-time payment history.
After unemployment financially crippled me, I found employment and got on a stringent payment plan and fully got back on track. I cleaned up my credit, stayed on time with the mortgage payment for over a year with no modifications, along with all of my other bills. At that point, I felt that I could probably call HSBC and refinance down to a lower interest rate so that I could have a little more breathing room and was essentially told by HSBC that they weren't going to refinance anymore.
To make matters worse, I called back for my payoff information only to find that my $160,000 mortgage was now $164,000. So after years of paying $1500 a month, I was no closer to owning that home than when I began. All traditional mortgage was then blown out of the water because all of them require a minimum of 5% equity in the home. I was underwater. Even after being diligent and responsible, HSBC refused to budge. They were making thousands of dollars off of me and they knew they had me trapped.
And it gets worse. My home value 4 years ago was $174,000. My home value now is around $110,000 and Zillow even has me at $89,000. So now I'm not only underwater, but upside-down. If I'm going to be at this house for a long time, I need to make more of an impact on the loan, but HSBC doesn't want that. They've made over $17,700 off of me just in the past year. On time payments. And the mortgage balance went nowhere. Multiply that by the 3 years I've been with them and you're looking at over $50,000 they've robbed from my family. The balance of my mortgage is $4000 higher than when I started. Here HSBC. Take my $50,000.
And that's why we're here. I know I'm not alone. There are thousands of you out there experiencing the same brick walls and frustration. With the new mortgage proposal recently announced from President Obama, we may have an option through HARP, but if we can find a way to take our business away from HSBC and get our homes back, it will all be worth it.
Are you going through the same type of fiasco and would like to share your journey also? Let me know and I'll add you as a writer so that you can tell us your experiences. This is YOUR forum.

A.J. Coplon is by nature a mild-mannered, quiet young man. Few are louder on the football field.
A.J. Coplon is by nature a mild-mannered, quiet young man. Few are louder on the football field.
Coplon was a defensive sparkplug in the Rams� 55-21 state championship victory over Concord Saturday at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem.
Coplon scored a touchdown off a 61-yard fumble return and stripped and recovered another fumble.
"On the return, I just knew I had to make a play and saw the football and picked it up and ran," Coplon said.
That play came on Concord�s first possession of the second half. Coplon�s touchdown gave the Rams a 28-21 lead, a lead the Rams would never lose.
On the next Spiders� drive, Coplon reached into the arms of running back Rocky Reid and stripped the ball onto the ground before promptly pouncing on it for the recovery.
"We do a scope and score drill every week in practice. We practice stripping the ball," Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said. "People always look at fumbles and say, �well if they hadn�t fumbled.� Well, if we don�t teach stripping the ball, then we don�t get fumbles. If we don�t teach scope and score, than we don�t get that."
Coplon entered the game leading Havelock with seven interceptions. He also had five punt returns for touchdowns this year, and he had two punt returns for 24 yards against Concord.
Coplon said coming out stronger on defense in the second half was a huge point of attention in the locker room at halftime.
"We just talked about getting back to playing Ramball, and that�s what we did in the second half," Coplon said.
Concord managed just 112 total yards in the second half, compared to 228 in the first, with Coplon�s two fumble recoveries proving to be huge keys in the game.
"I saw he (Reid) was holding and carrying the ball really loose and I knew I could strip it," Coplon said. "Once I reached in and fought to pull it out, I saw it on the ground and I knew I could get it for us."
Coplon, a senior, has committed to play college football at East Carolina and is a 2012 Shrine Bowl invitee.

Carroll grabs late point
Andy Carroll grabbed table-topping Newcastle a late point in a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough.
Last Updated: 13/03/10 5:58pm
A thrilling Tees-Tyne derby between Middlesbrough and Newcastle ended 2-2 at the Riverside as Andy Carroll grabbed the table-topping visitors a late point.
The Geordie striker fired home an 82nd-minute equaliser to claim a precious point after Boro had come from behind to lead.
Scott McDonald's first Middlesbrough goal eight minutes earlier looked to have handed all three points to the Teessiders after Barry Robson had cancelled out Peter Lovenkrands' 16th minute opener.
But Carroll ensured the spoils were shared as the 3,743 travelling supporters among a crowd of 27,347 headed for home with pride and promotion hopes intact.
The home fans were on their feet within two minutes of kick-off when McDonald, back after two games on the sidelines with a groin problem, went down in the box under Fabricio Coloccini's nudge.
However, much to the Australian's disbelief, referee Lee Mason waved play on.
Fitz Hall had to get in an important block to keep out Stephen McManus' sixth-minute shot as the Teessiders started in confident style.
Newcastle were struggling to put together a move of any substance, but they took the lead with 16 minutes gone from their first coherent attack.
Jonas Gutierrez cut in from the left before sliding a perfect reverse pass into the feet of Lovenkrands, who beat keeper Danny Coyne with ease to claim his 13th goal of the season.
It took a fine diving save from Steve Harper, who celebrates his 35th birthday tomorrow, to keep out Robson's 29th-minute free-kick.
But the former Celtic midfielder's persistence paid off nine minutes before the break when he and McDonald combined 25 yards out before curling an unstoppable left-foot shot past the helpless Harper.
Lovenkrands only just failed to find the net after running on to Carroll's injury-time flick-on, but the home side continued to enjoy the better of the game immediately after the break.
Substitute Ryan Taylor, on for the injured Coloccini, turned up in the right place at the right time to take Robson's 52nd minute cross off Julio Arca's toe at the far post.
Gutierrez floated a 59th minute cross just over Coyne's bar, but Harper had to make a fine one-on-one save from Arca after O'Neil had pounced on Fabrice Pancrate's poor control two minutes later.
McDonald fired across goal with 25 minutes remaining and Danny Guthrie saw a long-range effort deflected wide at the other end.
But it was the Australian who struck with 16 minutes remaining, turning smartly to steer home from Chris Killen's knock-down.
However, there was a twist in the tail and when Taylor's driven cross fell to Carroll, who was for the first time left free by McManus and David Wheater, he controlled before stabbing home the equaliser.

Organizers of this week's Effective Access Technology Conference at RIT say the success of the event has convinced them to do it again next year.
Nearly 250 people registered for Tuesday's event at the RIT Inn & Conference Center, which featured workshops, keynote speakers, expert panel discussions and dozens of displays of technology in place or under development.
"This is a perfect way to showcase the great work on access technology being done throughout the colleges at RIT, and in the community," said Ryne Raffaelle, vice president for research and associate provost at RIT.
The conference was sponsored by RIT, RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Al Sigl Community of Agencies and Paradigm.
About 15 percent of the world's population lives with some form of disability. RIT is working to eliminate barriers that prevent equal access to receiving information, mobility and participation with able-bodied peers.
Many of the RIT-related research exhibits at the conference involved research at NTID, including Deaf STEM Community Alliance's efforts to create a remote tutoring program for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in STEM majors, diagnosing attention deficits in deaf adults, a vibrating cane for deaf and blind individuals and C-Print, a classroom captioning system that provides summaries of discussions and graphic illustrations to students. Other RIT projects included an improved ankle and foot orthotic, motion assistive devices for sailing and a heart monitor that would alert patients to risks of atrial fibrillation.
The community exhibits included officials from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, who provided information about their clinical video teleconferencing; N.Y. Outdoors Unlimited, an Ontario, N.Y.-based organization that finds ways to enable disabled individuals to hunt in the woods; and EquiCenter, a Honeoye Falls, N.Y.-based organization that offers therapeutic horseback riding for children and adults.
More than 70 access technology projects are underway at RIT, which accounts for $10 million in sponsored research. RIT also continues to explore ways to partner on development projects with other universities as well as agencies, including Al Sigl, the Veterans Health Administration and The Arc of Monroe County.
Last year, RIT faculty submitted proposals to win a share of $150,000 from RIT to work on access technology projects.
Raffaelle said he hopes a center for access technology will be created at RIT because it would not only help those individuals who may benefit from access technology, but the university could also benefit from economic development opportunities through development, manufacturing and implementation of such technology. Community experts at the conference agreed a center would benefit the region.
"Working with RIT creates a synergy—it's going to be explosive," says Daniel Meyers, president of Al Sigl, which serves more than 50,000 clients a year through a number of programs and agencies.
Meyers says Rochester is a natural location for a center of access technology. "This is probably the best laboratory in the country for creating solutions for people with disabilities."

Associate Professor
Phone: 252-328-2558
Office: Brewster A-306
Email: email@example.com
Jonathan Reid is a historian of late medieval and early modern Europe whose research focuses on the intellectual, religious, social, political, and diplomatic history of sixteenth-century France. After taking an A.B. with honors in European History at the University of Chicago, he completed graduate training and a Ph.D. with distinction under the direction of Heiko A. Oberman (†) at the University of Arizona (2001). There, he studied Medieval History with Alan E. Bernstein and Renaissance History with Donald Weinstein. While conducting dissertation research in Paris, he attended Bernard Roussel's seminars on the French Reformation at the École pratique des Hautes Études. He enjoyed a stimulating year (2001–2002) as a post-doctoral research fellow on the University of St. Andrews' "Sixteenth Century French Book Project" under the direction of Andrew Pettegree. Since 2002, he has taught History at East Carolina University. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008.
Reid's monograph, King's Sister – Queen of Dissent: Marguerite of Navarre (1492–1549) and her Evangelical Network, reconstructs for the first time the collective career of a prominent group of évangéliques whose members, under the guidance of Francis I's sister, Marguerite, attempted, but failed, to bring about renewal of the French Church along 'Protestant' theological lines. Nevertheless, they thereby played an important role in shaping the political and religious developments in France as well as to a lesser degree in early Reformation Europe. His article, "Evangelical Networks in France (1520–1555): Proto-churches?" offers a new hypothesis –to be tested in his next monograph (see below) – that progressive clerics both spread and contained within the Catholic church evangelical doctrines, fostering the formation of clandestine evangelical communities out of which would emerge fully formed Reformed (Calvinist) churches in the few years after 1555.
Currently he is working on several projects related to the development of religious dissent in France. His next monograph, Reformation in the French Cities, 1520–1563, attempts to provide the first comprehensive account of the impact of indigenous evangelical and foreign Protestant reformation movements in France's towns and burgs in the forty-year build up to the outbreak of religious civil war in 1562. Arguably one of the largest communal Reformation movements in Europe (10% of France's sixteen to twenty million people joined Reformed Church despite severe persecution), these "Huguenots" were initially heavily concentrated in France's cities. Based on analysis of archival sources of six important early centers of religious dissent (Amiens, Rouen, Le Mans, Bourges, Poitiers, and Le Puy-en-Velay) and comparison with urban histories of dozens more, this study seeks to: answer how religious reform spread and attracted adherents; account for why such dissenters aspiring for reform long remained within the church; assess the influence of the major reformer, John Calvin, who, contrary to received interpretations seems for a long time to have retarded the growth of separatist Reformed churches in France on the Genevan model rather than to have spurred them on; and explain how and why this persecuted minority movement rapidly transformed in the short period from 1555 to 1562 into a well-organized, militant force in the build up to the first of the French Wars of Religion (1562–1598).
Reid is also completing work on several articles, three commissioned for press, on aspects of Marguerite of Navarre, her network, and their literary contribution to Renaissance and Reformation letters. One of these, "Caught Between the Confessional Fronts: Religious Dissent in France, 1520–1550," explores how French Evangelicals, while suffering stiff persecution, sought to transcend the growing confessional conflict between intransigent Catholics and Protestants, all the while promoting an essentially evangelical (Protestant) doctrinal agenda.
He has been the recipient of several awards including a Fulbright-Hays Dissertation Research Grant (1995–1996), a Bourse Chateaubriand from the French Government (1997–1998), the Carl S. Meyer Prize from the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference for the best paper read by a young scholar (2006), and five major research grants from East Carolina University (2004–2010). In 2011, he became Assistant Editor of the journal, Explorations in Renaissance Culture. Submissions are most welcome!

Okonomiyaki is Japanese savory pancake or pizza. The word "Okonomi" means "what you like" or "what you want" and "yaki" grilled or cooked. A customer can choose whatever he/she likes to top: from seafood to meat of their choice.
If you are a purist please forgive me, I tweaked into vegan the batter. Originally, the batter contains flour and egg, dashi (fish stock) as main ingredients, the cabbage and mountain ham is mixed too. The pancake seems originated from Osaka but popular through out the country. Pretty cheap to fit anyone budget and filling too!
Toppings, batter and way of cooking may vary according the regions:
Osaka style- Okonomiyaki : cabbage and batter are mixed together to make pancake (ideal for novice pancake maker)
Hiroshima style-okonomiyaki : the cabbage is cooked in hot surface and they pour on top the batter, sometimes noodle are added, I guess it will be hard to flip the whole pancake!
I handle the easiest method Osaka style; I mixed the cabbage and red onion in batter and pour the batter. Like the name says, I added whatever i like please free to add whatever you like. Is that cool this recipe!
Yield: 2 medium pancakes or one big one
Self raising flour: ¼ cup
Milk: ¼ cup
Water or dashi : ¼ cup (I used water)
Egg: one count (I omitted)
Salt: a pinch
Mix everything together (the batter is quiet watery)
Cabbage: 1/2 cup sliced thinly
Red onion: 2 tbsp miced
*Seafood (shrimp) or thinly sliced meat can be used as topping!
Add the veggie in batter and mix well.
Method how to make pancake?
Heat a crepe pan or non stick skillet. Spray some oil, pour the batter with veggie, with spatula spread the veggie evenly.
Cover and cook in medium heat, after 2 or 3 min , turn the pancake! If the pancake is huge, there is lots of chance to break into pieces.
AsI am so used to make the pancake/dosa in Indian cooking, I found pretty easy to flip!
Enjoy the pancake topped with hot sauce or mayonnaise. I used siracha!
Mugicha (roasted barley tea) is a tisane, made with roasted barley. Very popular drink in Japan , can be substituted for coffee –very healthy drink.
I roasted barley until they turn brown (I didn't made dark) Boil 10 ounces or huge tea cup of water and add 3 to 4 tbsp of roasted barley, simmer for another 6 min. Drain the water and keep in frigde for cooler version or serve hot.
I like to sweeten with one tsp of honey and lemon! Good for ur throat and of course for your soul!
This barley water reminds our homemade medicinal drink that our granny uses to make to clear the bladder! After consuming this drink be ready for many restroom trips!
Both dishes , somehow I felt as Indian flavor. For the drink, sure someone has to acquire the taste, to love it!

There was a great segment on the Today Show recently about parenting mistakes when trying to get kids to eat healthy. As I've documented on this blog before, my little does not like vegetables. She's just about 20 months old, so I guess I should not be surprised.
I am, however, frustrated.
I desperately want to make sure I get my daughter's life started on a healthy note and have worked hard to get her well-balanced meals. She has the occasional vegetable breakthrough. Then the next day, we're back to square one. So when I saw the topic about parenting mistakes, I figured I should tune in to make sure I'm not guilty. Joy says these parenting mistakes can lead to health issues, particularly obesity, down the road.
The segment featured Joy Bauer (whose LIFE diet is one of the most effective things I have tried). Her first rule was to stop encouraging kids to be members of the "clean plate club." Joy explained that kids know when they're full, and they stop eating (unlike so many of us adults), and encouraging them to keep eating is going against what their body is trying to do.
The next mistake is offering a dessert as a reward for eating their vegetables. She says it reinforces the idea that vegetables are unappealing. She says it's best to hail the positive aspects of vegetables, how they make you strong and healthy.
Joy also says starchy snakes are a common mistake. She says make sure you keep snacks spaced two hours away from mealtimes. Try to pair starches with a protein. Starch alone will make a child feel more sluggish.
The next tip really applied to me, since Lauren often rejects meals that I serve to her. I find myself scrambling for something else that she WILL eat. Joy recommends having one "fall back meal." If the child refuses what you've served, then you always feed them cereal and fruit. No other offers. Joy says make sure the fall back meal is something that requires no cooking to put together so you don't turn into a short order cook.
If you've read the Baby Blog before, you already know I'm a little finatic about my daughter getting enough sleep. These days she goes to bed between 6 and 6:30 p.m., and gets up between 6:30 and 7 am. She takes a nap in the middle of the day. Joy's next tip is to make sure your kids are getting the sleep they need for their age. Kids who are sleep-deprived will be hungry and want to snack all day, she says.
Next, limit TV time. That's pretty self-explanatory.
Finally, break up the stroller ride time. Joy recommends that once your kids are walking, when you go for a walk, push them in the stroller for half of the walk, and let them walk with you next to the stroller for the other half. She says it's a great way for them to get exercise, even though it may be more difficult for the parent. I'm thinking it might really difficult to pull that off since I normally push Lauren in the stroller and walk the dog at the same time. But hey, it's worth a try!

There's more than one way to tag an abalone
There are numerous special restrictions if you go after abalone.
One main restriction is there must be a tag hanging off that shellfish. If a warden asks to see your catch and there are no tags attached to every abalone, it's an instant citation.
Attaching a tag to an abalone can occasionally pose a problem. Not all abalone will have a hole in the shell for attaching the tag, but attaching the tag is still required.
Taping the tag to the shell isn't an acceptable method of "attaching" the tag.
So, what can you do? Take a knife and bore a small hole into one of the eyes of the shell.
A second acceptable method takes much less work. Take a knife and punch a hole through the foot of the abalone.
Think a warden would still cite you? He or she won't so long as they believe you're making an honest effort to tag that shellfish.
High fire danger in Sierra
Northern California has bit the big bullet so far. There have been devastating fires in numerous states. Tens of thousands of acres have gone up in smoke in New Mexico and Colorado.
Local regions have seen significant grassfires, but they've been quickly extinguished. Southern California has experienced hilly brushfires.
Fires can be caused by a spark from power equipment landing in dry tinder. Birds landing on power lines have been known to cause a spark that starts a fire. The bird usually gets fried for its effort.
More often than not, fires are created by Mother Nature. Lightning strikes create a vast majority of fires.
A significant storm raked across the northern Sierra range last weekend. There was scattered rainfall, but not enough to lessen fire danger. If no fires were caused by the storm, we simply got lucky.
Campers heading to the high country should look for fire restrictions. With lighter-than-normal snow and rain, the forests are much drier earlier.
If you're a smoker, try your best to restrict where you smoke: in your vehicle, on your boat over the water or directly in your campsite. Make sure to completely snuff your cigar or cigarette.
Keep your campfire low.
While we don't have control over Mother Nature, we control what and how we operate.
Maybe, just maybe, the north state can go through this dry summer without a major fire.
Current fishing
A pretty good storm moved through much of the north state, and it ruined fishing opportunities for those who wanted to give it a try. I don't care about rain. I'll commonly fish during a storm.
However, strong north winds pretty much shut down fisheries all over. Up and down the coast, boats that otherwise would be out for salmon or rock cod stayed in port.
The high country wasn't immune. Lake Almanor appeared like an ocean. Waves were high. Nobody was out, not even sailboats.
But, the weather is warming again, and fishing conditions are returning to normal.
Lake Almanor: The fishing is great, but the catching is tough. Those trolling on the west side of the peninsula are connecting on a fish here and there. Those trolling the east shore side are doing better, but the catch is almost entirely salmon with a few Chinooks going 2½ pounds. Rainbows and brown trout are scarce. There's a little action — very little — in Big Springs, and promising action in Lake Cove for those trolling and drifting.
Delta: It's a good time to pack up the family with a big picnic basket and head for the virtual hundreds of miles of Delta waterways. A great catfishery exists this time of year. While catfishing usually is thought of as a nighttime activity, that's not necessarily true. In some areas I've fished, you can't seem to buy a catfish bite before the sun sets. I've seen other areas, especially in Delta waters, where catfish bite like crazy during the day. The bottom line is you can get into a good catfish bite during the day and have a family picnic at the same time.
Folsom Lake: There are trout and salmon for the troller. The trick is you have to be out there as the first rays of light begin to show. You can have the lake pretty much to yourself for a while and have good trolling time and catch fish. It won't be long before water recreationists begin showing and the catching declines. You'll do much better during the week. The main body of the lake, working the old river channel from the dam toward Brown's Ravine, should get you bit. Watch your scope. Trout are shallower, king salmon deeper.
Lake Oroville: The lake is going to be dropping fast. They're making big releases to entice salmon up the river. The lake level is high but won't stay that way for long. Water will be released that will drop the lake level one foot a day for up to three weeks. The shoreline will dramatically change almost daily. While there has been a good bass bite, such a rapid drop in the water level could easily scare the fish off the bite for a while.
Lake Amador: Trout plants are over for the season and won't resume until fall. There isn't much competition for trout, but those who are trying for them around the dam-spillway area and up in the arms are being rewarded with hefty holdovers. Power bait, eggs and crawlers are attracting. The evening bite for bass has been terrific with a good number of five-pounders being hooked. Plastics will work well.
