In my google alerts today, one headline stuck out: "Too late to reverse rise in c-sections?" from the Boston Globe. It is a letter to the editor from Lois Shaevel, co-author of "Silent Knife."
Shaevel states:
For eons we females had been capable of giving birth with very little medical intervention. Then childbirth went into the hospital, and the process became a medical and increasingly surgical event.
It's sad really. I'm not saying that all women don't need a hospital and that all births can be achieved non-medically, but what makes me sad is the shift in how pregnancy and childbirth are viewed by our society. Pregnancy and birth used to be normal and expected events in a woman's life. Now when you tell someone that you are pregnant they ask you if you have a first trimester ultrasound scheduled yet. When you respond by saying that you don't plan to utilize ultrasound technology unless it becomes medically necessary, they cock their heads, look at you funny, and respond with a suspicious "huh!"
Shaevel continues:
When Nancy Wainer and I wrote "Silent Knife" in 1983, we hoped our work would reverse the trend and give women confidence in their bodies' innate ability to birth their babies. If this trend of surgical intervention in the natural process of childbirth continues, the only women who will birth their babies naturally 50 years from now will be those who don't make it to the hospital in time for their caesareans.
Some women are finding ways to become more confident in their bodies. I joined the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) which greatly increased my confidence and understanding that a repeat cesarean would likely be unnecessary. However, the doctors will always find a way to rob us of our confidence. One ICAN list member was told early on in her pregnancy that s/he was supportive of her choice to VBAC. Now at 36 weeks she's been told to schedule a repeat cesarean. This is not an uncommon story.
Here are my thoughts on how/why this keeps happening to women who desire vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC). Perhaps the doctor just wants the business and thinks s/he will be able to change the patient's mind along the way? Perhaps the doctor believes in a woman's choice but loses confidence along the way? Perhaps in losing confidence in the mother along the way, the doctor is thinking about the legal consequences of not performing an elective repeat cesarean? Perhaps the doctor, losing confidence along the way or thinking s/he can coerce the patient into surgery, also has the $$ in his/her eyes since surgical birth costs so much more than vaginal birth? Perhaps the doctor knows that VBAC labor can take longer, and since s/he will have to be more readily accessible thanks to ACOG directives, s/he pushes for the quicker solution – major abdominal surgery? Perhaps the doctor is more afraid of the uncertainty of normal (as in natural) birth because s/he is not familiar with it versus that which s/he is trained to do – perform surgery?
Shaevel's letter was formed in response to this recent Boston Globe article. Here are a couple of important points to consider from the article:
"It's important for us to step back and say, 'Why is this happening, and is it in the best interest of the public?' " said [the state's secretary of health and human services, Dr. JudyAnn] Bigby, whose research before entering state government had focused on women's health issues at Brigham and Women's Hospital. "This is not a minor surgical procedure; it's a big deal. We need to understand why this trend continues." [emphasis mine]
She is "sufficiently alarmed" that her state's cesarean rate now eclipses the national average of 31.1%.
Obstetricians' fears of lawsuits may also fuel some of the increase.
"There's no doubt about the medical-legal burden; the litigious nature of society has an impact on this," said Dr. Fred Frigoletto, chief of obstetrics at Massachusetts General Hospital. "Very few obstetricians have been litigated because they did a C-section. But they're always litigated because they didn't do one."
Fear of litigation is NEVER an appropriate motivator for medicalized childbirth. Interventive practices are only appropriate when there is sound evidence of need. Basing medical opinion, advice, and practices on a fear of litigation is unethical and violates the oath and creed to "first do no harm" that all doctors agree to when they become registered practitioners.
It once was popular to deliver subsequent babies [following a cesarean] by vaginal birth, but by the late 1990s the practice began to fall out of favor because of potential risks.
Potential risks – yes, it is possible that a woman's uterus may rupture during labor. The risk of rupture may be as low as .5%, and any doctor who puts forward a rate of greater than 1% should be asked for the research to support such a statistic. Avoiding induction and augmentation of labor and having continuous labor support (an experienced doula and/or midwife) will help VBAC moms achieve their goals.
Anyone who doubts the importance of natural childbirth for both mother and child should register for the "What Would Mammals Do" webinar through Conscious Woman.

Cowgirls Cruise Past Air Force 88-63
Four Wyoming Cowgirls scored in double figures, and they punished the Air Force Falcons 88-63 Wednesday night in Mountain West action at the Arena-Auditorium. The Cowgirls jumped to a 21-6 lead thanks to tough early defense and never looked back.
Cowgirl head coach Joe Legerski said, "Defensively we got off to a great start. Not only did we limit Air Force to one shot and out, but I thought we got a hand up on everything. Then we got into transition, but the big key tonight was being able to attack the press."
Wyoming (21-6, 10-4) did attack in the first 20 minutes and led 40-14 by halftime. Despite getting out-scored in the second half 49-48, they were never seriously threatened. They allowed Air Force to only shoot 22.6 percent in the first period, which put the game out of reach for the Falcons. The Cowgirls tied a season-high with nine made 3-point field goals, and it marked the sixth time this season UW's hit that magic number.
Kayla Woodward scored a game-high 22 points, Sickles had 16, Kaitlyn Mileto poured in 13 points and Chaundra Sewell added 12 points and 12 rebounds. The Cowgirls shot 52.4 percent (33-63) from the field, were 9-20 (45%) from deep and 13-16 (81.3%) at the stripe. They out-rebounded the Falcons 36-31, had 20 assists and only 8 turnovers.
Sickles said, "I thought we came out strong. We know they (Air Force) were gonna put up a fight through the whole game. They've really been battling in conference and doing pretty well. We said, it's our home court, we're gonna defend it, and just come out and start putting in some shots. Hopefully it flows from there."
Air Force (4-22, 3-10) was led by Katie Hilbig with 17 points. They shot 45.2 percent (28-62) for the game, but were 1-6 (16.7%) from 3 and 6-9 (66.7%) at the foul line.
The Cowgirls return to action with their final home game of the season Saturday against New Mexico. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. at the Double-A. You can listen to Cowgirl basketball on KOWB with coverage starting at 1:30 p.m.

As outside groups pile on, the Republican budget negotiator says he is sticking to principles.
For years, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan has been hoisted on a pedestal by conservative think tanks and activist groups as the paragon of conservatism in Congress. But all the accolades bought him zero goodwill this week, as he crafted his first bipartisan budget pact.
The Cato Institute called the package a "huge Republican cave-in." The Club for Growth lamented it as "budgetary smoke and mirrors." Heritage Action said it was "a step backward." And FreedomWorks called it a "surrender."
It's quite the turnabout for a politician whose rapid rise was fueled, in part, by the backing of such groups.
"It's a strange new normal, isn't it," Ryan said with a laugh Wednesday, after he presented the package to his House GOP colleagues. "It is what it is. It's funny, isn't it?"
Ryan said he was confident, despite the outside rabble-rousing, that a majority of House Republicans will back the package.
"I don't let that stuff bother me anymore. Groups are going to do what they want to do," Ryan said. "What matters to me is: Am I doing what I think is right? Am I sticking to my principles? And am I listening to my colleagues who actually have a voting card?"
He said conservatives need to accept that their preferred agenda will not pass through so long as government is divided. "I think we need to win some elections before we can actually truly fix this problem," the 2012 losing vice presidential candidate said of the nation's debt.

Arvin comes back from one set down to win
It wasn't the way the Taft varsity volleyball team wanted to end their home schedule after falling 25-22, 16-25, 17-25, 25-17, 15-12 to the Arvin Bears Tuesday night at home.
The start of the match was a different story with Taft jumping out to a 10-4 advantage. Arvin fought back to tie the set at 11 before Taft regained the advantage. Taft was able to maintain the lead until Arvin outscored Taft 3-2 to lead 16-15.
After Taft tied the score at 16, Arvin took off by going on a 7-1 run. Taft narrowed the deficit to two but the Lady Bears scored the final point.
Both teams were in a battle to start the second set with five different ties. After Arvin took a one point lead, the Lady Wildcats caught fire with a 10-2 run. Arvin countered to get within four but Taft went on a 6-1 run to close out the second set.
The beginning of the third set was close with Taft holding a slim advantage. Following three ties and trailing by one, Taft threatened to pull away with a 5-1 run to lead 15-12. Arvin stayed close until the Lady Wildcats took off again with five straight points. The Lady Bears would get within six two different times but that was as close as they got.
It looked as if Taft would put the Lady Bears away in the fourth set by jumping out to a 7-1 advantage. However, Arvin roared back to take an 11-9 advantage. After Taft narrowed the lead down to one, Arvin countered with a 5-2 run.
Taft cut the deficit to two before Arvin outscored Taft 7-1 the rest of the way to send the match to a fifth set.
Arvin carried their momentum into the final set with a 9-3 run. Taft answered by getting within two but Arvin increased their lead to four. Taft made one last attempt by cutting the deficit to one but Arvin scored the final two points to win.

3.5 stars (out of 4)
Given the subject matter – alcoholism, mental illness, a relationship in turmoil – Passion Pit's "Gossamer" (Columbia) could have easily shaped up as the year's biggest pity party.
That it's not owes to the inventiveness of do-everything songwriter-producer-keyboardist-singer Michael Angelakos. Instead, it's a soul record disguised as buoyant, uptempo dance-pop. It shares characteristics with The Weeknd's introspective take on R&B;, the twisted nostalgia of a Kanye West jam (especially in the way the munchkin voices evoke West's sped-up dusties-soul samples) and the stomping relentlessness of a Katy Perry single.
That sort of multi-layered something-for-everyone approach can be misleading. Listen to this music from a distance and it sounds like an aerobics soundtrack led by an androgynous cheerleader. Angelakos' tenor frequently breaks into a Barry Gibb-worthy falsetto, surrounded by a cast of sweet-voiced angels, including the Swedish a cappella trio Erato. Listen more closely, however, and "Gossamer" turns into something else: the diary of a breakdown.
Angelakos started his career with a bedroom recording designed to woo his then-girlfriend while attending Emerson College in Boston. When the track "Sleepyhead" became an unexpected MySpace hit in 2008, it was a remarkably short leap to a major-label deal and the album "Manners" in 2009.
In the intervening years, Angelakos struggled with mental illness (he was diagnosed as bipolar as a teenager) and alcoholism. The singer doesn't hide his troubles behind metaphors on "Gossamer." The songs play like snapshots of a life unraveling. A concerned friend in "Constant Conversations" pours out a drink in the kitchen sink because "drinking doesn't make me nice." The narrator in "It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy" sounds like he's phoning in an apology from an institution: "Sorry, I couldn't be there/I was tied to a rocking chair/I was beat down to a pulp/Rocking back and forth somewhere."
Keyboards and more keyboards, strings, voices and walloping drums saturate the senses and turn songs into mini-symphonies with shout-along choruses. The onetime bedroom artist now makes first-rate pop anthems, gleaming rocketships of sound that wouldn't sound out of place on the radio next to Rihanna or Nicki Minaj. The tone might seem out of step with the lyrics, but it speaks to a certain resilience. Angelokos' narrator may be scuffling, but he's not giving up.
"Just believe in me, Kristina/All these demons/I can beat 'em," he sings with heartbreaking determination on the optimistically titled "On My Way."
Kristina, the singer's real-life partner, is the other crucial element in this album. "Gossamer" centers on Angelakos' breakdown, but it's also just as much about the selfless nature of love. It's the only thing that stands between one man and oblivion.

"It might sound crazy what I'm about to say." — Pharrell Williams, "Happy"
Virginia is a lyrical place to live and work. From the Shenandoah Mountains to here in Hampton Roads, the commonwealth inspires great music and we should embrace so rich a tradition.
In 1997, controversy over the lyrics to "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia" led the General Assembly to seek a more appropriate composition to serve as the commonwealth's state song. "Carry Me Back" was designated "State Song Emeritus" and a study group was launched to select a suitable replacement.
Since then, Virginia — birthplace of Patsy Cline, Ella...

Well, through a nice set of circumstances, I managed to pick up a Wrath of the Lich King beta key. I have had just a little time to start tinkering around and checking out the new talents, abilities and content.
The first thing I did was check out a few quests and mob slaying. I spec'd nearly full Fury, picking up Titan's Grip and Heroic Leap. I was able to dual wield World Breaker and Gorehowl. Let me just say that coupled with the new Bloodthirst and Blood Craze, downtime was minimal, which was very nice. Dual wielding a couple of massive hard hitting 2 handers made short work of mobs as well. I was not afraid to wade into a group of 3, 4, or even 5 mobs and just go Whirlwind and Cleave crazy. Mobs would be falling left and right and Victory Rush was utilized to it's fullest! Bloodsurge is also an awesome talent and near as I could tell, did not reset your swing timer when used. With a good crit chance, you'll be getting free reactionary Slams in quite regularly.
Heroic Leap on the other hand is a Heroic Flop in it's current state. About the only useful thing I found for it was using it to get away from mobs when I had bit off more than I could chew. I could not find any decent use for it in an offensive capacity.
But hey, enough about this dps crap, this is a tanking blog, right?
After playing around as Fury, I jumped at the chance to tank a couple of instances and try out our new tanking abilities. Let me just say, as far as 5 mans are concerned, I'm very happy with the changes. Our group tanking abilities have gone way up. Shockwave is great! And picking up Incite is a must if you plan on multi-tanking mobs (and who isn't?). Not only that, but you now also have reduced cooldowns on Challenging Shout (3 mins), Mocking Blow (1 min, and usable in Defensive Stance), and Concussion Blow (30 sec) make it all the better.
I did a run of Utegarde Keep and The Nexus. Both were fairly trivial. Utegarde Keep had a max pull of 4 mobs and it was no problem maintaining aggro. Nexus has some pulls that can get larger, but even then we had no problems keeping them on the tank.
All in all, I'm very happy with how the entry levels for Wrath are shaping up. There are some talents that need some looking at though. While Sword and Board looks good on paper, I just don't really see the benefit of this talent, not to mention it's a 46 point talent that requires 5 points to upgrade to it's full potential. I am going to look at running some numbers later to see just how good (or bad) this talent really is, but my gut instinct is that in it's current form, you are much better off picking up 5/5 Cruelty instead.
If anyone else is on the test realms and looking for a tank or whatever, look up Bizztoo on Lich King Horde

(Reuters Health) – Losing weight and improving fitness may ward off some of the mobility problems that older overweight people with type 2 diabetes often face, according to a new study.
The lifestyle changes helped mobile people stay that way and eased severe mobility problems in others, at least over the short term.
Lead author W. Jack Rejeski from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, said the trends show the importance of encouraging people to get their weight down and exercise sooner, rather than waiting until they develop problems getting around.
In the new study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers calculated that a one-percent drop in weight cut the risk of mobility problems by more than seven percent, and the same increase in fitness level lowered mobility risks by between one and two percent.
"If you can change people's lifestyles sufficiently, they're going to get more mobile and, over time, this will have a tremendous impact on their lives," said Dr. Vivian Fonseca, president of medicine and science for the American Diabetes Association, who wasn't involved in the research.
"There has yet to be really a large study like this that says, 'This really does make a difference,'" Rejeski told Reuters Health, adding that he hopes the results find a way into typical conversations between doctors and their diabetic patients.
The ADA estimates that nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes — most of them with type 2, the form of the disease often associated with being overweight — and 79 million more are at risk for developing the condition. Those numbers are expected to increase dramatically as the U.S. population ages.
Diabetics are twice as likely to have mobility problems as other people their age.
Rejeski and his colleagues tested a program in which volunteers were encouraged — through diet plans, eat-smart strategies, meal replacements and other techniques — to lose more than seven percent of their body weight. They were also encouraged to exercise at least three hours per week, primarily by walking.
Volunteers in a comparison group were asked to attend group meetings — focusing on nutrition, physical activity and support — three times a year.
The study involved more than 5,000 volunteers age 45 to 74, all overweight or obese. They reported their own mobility on health surveys given over four years and took fitness tests at different points during the study period.
After a year, participants in the intervention group had lost an average of six percent of their body weight, compared to less than one percent in the "control" group.
Fifteen percent of people in the no-intervention group had severe mobility problems at the start of the study. That rate increased to nineteen percent after a year, and continued to rise over the next three years.
In the diet and exercise group, thirteen percent started off with severe mobility problems. After a year that fell slightly to twelve percent — but after that, the likelihood of severe problems began to increase again.
"It's difficult to drag yourself out of that hole," said Rejeski.
For example, some people may regain the weight they lost, "but they also get older, and other things catch up with them," Fonseca, who is also an endocrinologist at the Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, told Reuters Health.
The researchers found that 33 percent of the control group started out with good mobility, a fraction that didn't change much over the next few years.
On the other hand, 37 percent of volunteers in the intervention group started out with good mobility. With diet and exercise, that ratio rose to 41 percent at the one-year mark and, although it declined after that, never fell below the starting point.
Rejeski's team calculated that all in all, the lifestyle changes led to a 48-percent drop in the chance of diabetic patients losing their mobility.
"You don't need extreme amounts of weight loss or extreme lifestyle change to improve your outlook," said Fonseca.
"It is achievable by many people who put their mind to it and who are given the right kind of tools to do that. The problem is, how do we translate this to people outside the study?" **

We first wrote about the arrest of Ali Mohamed Almosaleh at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in "The Mohamed profile." Almosaleh's trip had originated in Syria and took him to Amsterdam and Minneapolis via KLM.
Almosaleh was arrested in Minneapolis on an immigration violation and found with "disturbing items" in his posssession — a suicide note indicating a specific time and place of attack, CD/DVDs with anti-American materials, and something indicating a connection with "at least one known terrorist."
Now the AP reports the indictment of Almosaleh and provides some details about the "disturbing items" found in his possession: "Iraqi man arrested at airport here is indicted." The AP reports:
Government sources told The Associated Press after Almosaleh's arrest that he was carrying a note that hinted at a public suicide.
The indictment alleges Almosaleh falsely said he had been out of the United States for one month when he actually had been out for about five months, and that he told agents the only country he had visited was Syria when he had actually been to Iraq.
And video discs that Almosaleh claimed were just music actually had video of Iraqi radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his militia, along with calls for resistance against the United States, and video images of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the invasion of Iraq, the indictment alleges.
Stay tuned.

Brunner Hits .786 in Sweep Over Cal Baptist
UCSB ended a four-match home stand March 14 with a 3-0 sweep over Cal Baptist at Robertson Gymnasium. Middle blocker Theo Brunner hit .786 with 11 kills as the victory snapped a three-match skid for the Gauchos. Scores of the match were 30-25, 30-24, and 30-22. Brunner, ranked fourth in the country in hitting percentage, was on fire as he pounded the 11 kills with no errors in 14 attempts. He also chipped in with three blocks, a pair of service aces, and a dig. In the opening game, Brunner put away all five of his attempts for kills. Bryan Berman had 10 kills, three aces, and three digs for the Gauchos, while Evan Patak finished with nine kills, five of those coming in the third set. Patak, the nation's leading ace specialist, served up three on the night as UCSB held a 9-0 advantage from the service line. Setter Max Klineman amassed 37 assists and helped the Gauchos to a .371 attack percentage for the match. Libero Ben Brockman had a co-match-best eight digs. UCSB set a new single season record as the Gauchos have aced opponents 175 times to date. The old record was 168, set in 2005. The Lancers got a match-high 19 kills out of Donald Baliaba and another 11 from Yukai Sun. Baliaba equaled Brockman with eight digs and Ralph Asmar stuffed five UCSB attacks. Setter Eric Plunkett racked up 41 assists. CBU hit .289 for the match and out-dug the Gauchos 27-19. Cal Baptist out-blocked UCSB 7.0 to 3.5 in the first game as Asmar had four on his own, but the Gauchos held an 8.5 to 8.0 edge when all was said and done.
The Top-Ranked Cal Baptist Lancers
Cal Baptist, the top-ranked NAIA squad in the nation, enters Tuesday's match with a 16-9 record. In its last two contests, the Lancers lost, 3-1, against IPFW March 17 and blanked Penn State, a team that defeated UCSB in five games, March 16. Donald Baliaba was tabbed the NAIA Player of the Week March 20 as he totaled 70 kills and hit .576 over three matches, which included a 19-kill performance against UCSB March 14. Baliaba tied a school record with 32 kills in the loss against IPFW. As a team, CBU is out-hitting opponents .299-.253. The Lancers have been potent from the service line as well, holding a 146-101 advantage in aces. Cal Baptist is the three-time defending NAIA national champion.
Pacific Heights
Pacific enters the week with a 14-11 overall record and sits in sixth place in the MPSF with an 8-8 mark. The Tigers dropped two spots in this week's AVCA poll, falling from ninth to 11th. Last week, Pacific split a pair of non-league matches in Muncie, Ind., defeating Quincy 3-1 and losing to Ball State in five games. The Tigers took the first two games against Ball State, but the Cardinals came back to win the next three. Twice this season Pacific has strung together four-match win streaks, the most recent ending on March 10 with a 3-0 loss vs. Long Beach. The Tigers are 8-3 at home, but just 4-6 on the road. Pekka Seppanen and Matt Cornell lead the team offensively, averaging 4.07 and 3.51 kills per game, respectively. Setter Garrett Morales ranks fourth in the MPSF in assists, averaging 12.74 per game in league contests. Defensively, the Tigers rank third in the federation in digs as five players have excavated over 100 balls. Pacific is hitting at a .275 clip overall, but that number drops to .262 in league matches.
Seeing Red
Stanford opens its week of play with a 3-19 overall record and a 2-14 slate in the MPSF, equaling it with UC San Diego for 11th place in the league. The Cardinal has posted wins against UC San Diego (3-2, 3-0) and Quincy (3-0). Prior to playing at UCSB Saturday, Stanford takes on Cal State Northridge in the Valley Friday. It will be the first match the Cardinal has played since defeating the UCSD Tritons March 10. Statistically speaking, Stanford is hitting a lowly .196 while opponents are swinging at .330. Evan Romero leads the team offensively, averaging 3.76 kills a game. Matt Ceran is just behind at 3.57. Setter Kawika Shoji has 624 assists, good for 8.43 per game. Shoji and Ceran both have over 100 digs and are averaging 1.61 and 1.54 per game, respectively.

Ace (west of) Ventura
UCSB has been dangerous from the service line all season, collecting a single season record 175 aces to date. The Gauchos lead the MPSF with an average of 1.97 aces per game in league matches. Evan Patak has a school single season record 94 aces this year and continues to lead the nation in that category at 1.080 per game. The next closest player in total aces is Paul Carroll of Pepperdine, who has 44, 50 less than Patak. Patak holds UCSB's career ace record with 239. In comparison, teammate Bryan Berman is second on the list with 87. Patak and Berman have accounted for 120 of UCSB's 175 aces this season, 69%. Opponents have aced the Gauchos 110 times.
Milestone/Record Watch
Evan Patak needs 78 kills for 2,000 in his career...Patak has 381 career digs, 19 short of 400...Bart Kowalski needs 14 assists to move into the top five all-time at UCSB...Kowalski needs 16 assists for 2,800...Bryan Berman is 13 aces short of 100 for his career, which would make him just the second Gaucho in history with triple-digit aces (Patak is the other)...Berman needs 38 more digs for 500 in his career...At .535, Theo Brunner is on pace to smash his own single season hitting record of .486, set in 2005...At .358, UCSB is on pace to break the single season hitting mark of .348, set in 2002...The Gauchos set a new single season record for aces this year...Ken Preston collected his 500th career win this season.
Preston Joins Half-Grand Club
With a 3-0 sweep at IPFW March 3, UCSB head coach Ken Preston collected his 500th career victory. Preston has 18 winning seasons under his belt, including eight campaigns with 20 or more victories. He is UCSB's second active coach to eclipse the 500-win plateau at the school. Hall of Famer Kathy Gregory, who just completed her 32nd year as head coach of the women's volleyball program, picked up her 500th career win in 1995. Women's basketball coach Mark French has 500+ career wins, but not all have come at UCSB.
Double-Double With Cheese
Three Gauchos have recorded a total of five double-doubles this season:
Evan Patak (2): 32 kills, 17 digs at Hawai'i (2/8); 40 kills, 13 digs at Pacific (1/12)
Aaron Richman (2): 10 kills, 10 digs at UCLA (2/23); 14 kills, 10 digs vs. Cal State Northridge (1/6)
Armen Zakarian (1): 11 kills, 10 digs vs. Cal State Northridge (1/6)
Grand Attendance
For the Pepperdine match on Feb. 3, UCSB's Robertson Gymnasium hosted 1,068 fans. It was the highest attendance figure since 1,422 packed in on Jan. 27, 2001 vs. Stanford. The attendance record for a UCSB match is 4,310 against UCLA on April 22, 1983 in the Thunderdome. The Robertson Gymnasium record is 2,935 vs. UCLA on April 12, 1997.
UCSB Grabs Four During Early Signing Period
Ben Douglas (Mountain View, Calif.), Jeff Menzel (Santa Barbara, Calif.), Blaine Nielsen (Corona del Mar, Calif.), and Jake Scalise (San Marcos, Calif.) have committed to play for the Gauchos in 2008. Douglas is a 6'6" outside hitter from Mountain View High School. A member of the Spartans' varsity team since he was a freshman, Douglas is in his fourth year with the Bay to Bay Volleyball Club. Menzel is a local standout from San Marcos High School. The 6'5" opposite/outside hitter is a two-time All-CIF honoree and a 2006 All-Channel League First Team member. A versatile athlete, Menzel is also a first team all-league basketball player and a wide receiver on the Royals' football team. Nielsen is a 6'4" outside hitter out of Corona del Mar High School. A 2006 All-Pacific Coast League selection, Nielsen captained the Sea Kings to a league title and a second place finish in CIF Division II. In 2005, Corona del Mar won the CIF crown. At the club level, Nielsen captained Balboa Bay to Junior Olympics bronze medals in 2005 and 2006. Scalise is a 6'2" outside hitter from Mission Hills High School of the Division II Valley League.

Howard W. Hewitt – Workers began extensive landscape work around Center Hall this morning. Director of Campus Services David Morgan said his staff had noticed several problems with trees and shrubs around Center Hall. That evolved into a plan to open up Center Hall so it was more attractive from the College Mall.
The building was built in 1857 and houses the College Administration offices along with the departments of Religion, English, and Philosophy.
Three spruce trees will be planted at each corner of the building, Morgan said, to frame the historic structure.
Morgan said the side of the building above will have hosta plants and other greenery similar to what's in front of the Caleb Mills House.
The urns will be cleaned up and painted black. They will go to the other side of Center Hall to frame the doorway.
Morgan expects the project to take three weeks to complete.

Warren's challenge: how quickly to roll up sleeves
Elizabeth Warren, buoyed by a national network of activist liberals, now heads to the Senate facing an uneasy challenge.
Some of her strongest supporters want her to be a vocal and visible champion of liberal causes, an advocate who will fundamentally change the conversation in Washington. But the Senate is a tradition-bound institution that rewards seniority and expects first-year lawmakers to fall in line and wait their turn.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, who arrived in the Senate as the wife of a former president, famously chose to make herself a workhorse, not a showhorse, shunning the national media and paying due respect to the chamber's customs. Warren has given mixed signals about the strategy she will use to navigate the Senate.
In her acceptance speech Tuesday night and in a series of national television interviews Wednesday morning, she indicated she would try to emulate some of Senator Scott Brown's bipartisanship.
"Look, I understand that there was a message for people who voted for Senator Brown,'' Warren said on CBS. "I think a lot of them were saying, 'You've got to be willing to reach across the aisle,' and I want them to know I heard that loud and clear, and it's what I want to do.''
She reiterated that message later in the morning, while greeting commuters in South Boston at her first public appearance as senator-elect.
"I will work with anyone who's out there to fight for America's working families — Democrat, Republican, independent, Libertarian, contrarian, it doesn't matter,'' she said.
Warren was less conciliatory in an interview last year with New York magazine, in which she explicitly ruled out Clinton's approach as a model for how to operate in the Senate.
"If the notion on this is, we're going to elect somebody to the United States Senate so they can be the 100th least- senior person in there and be polite,'' she said, "and somewhere in their fourth or fifth year do some bipartisan bill that nobody cares about, don't vote for me.''
Embracing the mantle of liberal champion, she added, "I'm not going so that I can create a long and illustrious career in the Senate. I'm going to make change.''
She struck a similarly tough stance in an interview with the Globe last year, when she indicated she would not bow to Senate customs.
"It's about being willing to take a good idea and fight for it,'' she said. "It's being willing to throw your body in front of a bus to block bad ideas.''
Of course, that confrontational language, while it excites some of Warren's supporters, may not endear her to her new colleagues in Washington. Tom Daschle, the former Democratic leader of the Senate, said Clinton is the best model for Warren to follow if she wants to make the transition from political figure with a national profile to effective lawmaker.
"She probably did as well as anybody I can think of,'' Daschle said of Clinton. "She really did her homework. She showed up at literally every hearing. She waited her turn, and sometimes it took hours. . . . She did as much as she could to show her commitment to her committee work and to try to avoid the media. The media hounds are the ones who lose respect very quickly.''
The most effective senators learn how to work with colleagues across the political spectrum, he said.
"There is a role for the legislative gadfly,'' Daschle said. "But I wouldn't say they're the most accomplished or productive to get things done, because they've so alienated their relationships with their colleagues.''
Warren's most passionate supporters may have little patience for low-key time spent building relationships in the Senate.
"We expect her to govern the same way that she campaigned, which is as a bold progressive fighter for working people,'' said Adam Green, cofounder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which raised $1.1 million for Warren's campaign. "We think that she'll quickly play a strategic leadership role in the Senate, really showing other Democrats how to fight and how to better articulate a message that resonates with everyday families.''
Warren argued during the campaign that she could be both effective and outspoken, pointing to her efforts in establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and her tenure as the chair of a bipartisan committee that helped monitor the federal bank bailout.
Some who have served in the Senate say that experience will help Warren strike a balance between her role as a standard-bearer for liberals and her need to advance legislation with more senior colleagues.
"Elizabeth is not going to walk though that door talking,'' said Byron Dorgan, a former Democratic senator from North Dakota, who has known Warren for years. "She is really smart and will come through the Senate door with an agenda, but she is also very capable of trying to work through issues and learn in the Senate and will do that quickly.''
As she spends the coming weeks making the transition from candidate to senator, Warren may be torn about how to approach the job, said G. Calvin Mackenzie, a professor of government at Colby College.
"Who knows what she's going to do there?'' McKenzie said. "Does she want to be a senator for the next 10 years? Does she want to run for president or does she want to be the liberal darling here? She probably doesn't have an answer to that. Politics is full of opportunities that you seize or don't seize.''

India clashes with Pakistan over Kashmir at UN General Assembly
By Associated Press, Published: October 1
UNITED NATIONS — India's external affairs minister took on Pakistan at the United Nations on Monday for raising the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir.
S. M. Krishna told the General Assembly that India has resumed dialogue with Pakistan and wants to normalize relations. But he lashed out at a speech last week by Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardarif, saying the neighboring nation had no business meddling in India's predominantly Muslim state of Jammu and Kashmir, which India claims as sovereign territory.
"An unwarranted reference has been made to Jammu and Kashmir from this podium," he said, adding, "We wish to make it abundantly clear that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India."
Zardari said in his speech that Kashmir remained "a symbol of the failures of the United Nations system rather than its strengths." He said a solution could only be reached in an "environment of cooperation."
As the annual high-level meeting of the General Assembly wound down Monday night, representatives of India and Pakistan traded several rounds of rebuttals before a mostly empty chamber. The Pakistani delegation was seen smiling and shaking their heads as an Indian diplomat issued yet another reply to a statement by Pakistan.
A violent separatist insurgency that started in 1989 drew a crackdown by Indian forces that has killed about 68,000 people in Kashmir, where public resentment against Indian rule runs deep.
The rebellion is largely suppressed, with occasional flare-ups. The Indian army said last week that a fierce gun battle killed a suspected rebel and a soldier.
Earlier this month, Indian police arrested Merajuddin Wani, one of the longest-surviving rebel commanders in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – No. 6 Florida State (31-8, 13-7 ACC) managed just one hit in game two of the doubleheader Saturday evening as No. 8 Virginia (34-6, 15-5 ACC) shut out the Seminoles 2-0 in front of a capacity crowd of 4,980 on Davenport Field inside UVa Baseball Stadium.
"You just have to tip your hat to the University of Virginia," said head coach Mike Martin. "They did a great job. You get one hit; you just have to tip your hat. It's tough to win on the road in the ACC; there is no doubt about it."
Virginia's Scott Silverstein (7-0) stymied the Seminole offense in game two of the doubleheader allowing only four base runners all game long. The senior southpaw went 7.0 innings allowing just one hit and three walks while striking out six. Kyle Crockett worked the final two innings retiring all six batters that he faced to earn his eighth save of the season.
"They threw the ball to location as well as anybody I've seen all year long against us," added Martin. "They went through us tonight."
The lone Seminole hit of the game came off the bat of Seth Miller in the third inning as the senior centerfielder ripped a double to right center. John Nogowski drew two walks off Silverstein in three plate appearances, while DJ Stewart registered the only other walk of the game drawing a base-on-ball in the sixth.
Brandon Leibrandt (5-4) was brilliant in defeat as the sophomore southpaw pitched the first complete game of his career and the first since Sean Gilmartin went the distance in a 2-1 defeat at Virginia Tech back on April 15, 2011.
Leibrandt went 8.0 strong innings scattering four hits and three walks while allowing two unearned runs. The Alpharetta, Ga., native finished with seven strikeouts.
"Brandon was beautiful," said Martin. "He had a great, great outing. It turns into one pitch and the (UVa) guy did a good job of hitting it where we weren't and you have to credit him."
Neither team was able to produce much offensively through the first four innings as both starting pitchers yielded just three combined hits. Derek Fisher had the first hit of the game with a single through the left side in the second, while the second Cavalier hit was an infield single in the fourth by Joe McCarthy.
UVa took advantage of a costly throwing error by the Seminoles in the bottom of the fifth inning to break the scoreless tie, generating the only run production in the second game of the doubleheader.
After Leibrandt registered the first two outs on a fly out and a strikeout, Reed Gragnani drew his second walk of the game and moved to second on a throwing error at second on a groundball off the bat of Nate Irving. Branden Cogswell stepped in and plated the only two runs of the game with a double down the line in right to give UVa a 2-0 advantage.
The Cavaliers would manage just one base hit after Cogswell's double that coming off the bat of Kenny Towns, who led off the bottom of the seventh with a single up the middle. Leibrandt retired 10 of the last 11 batters that he faced.
Silverstein and Crockett duplicated the matter as the Cavalier duo retired the last 11 Seminole batters to complete the one-hit shutout. The last time Florida State was held to just one hit in a game was against Miami back on May 1, 1998 down in Coral Gables (a 7-1 loss to the Hurricanes).
"Tomorrow is another day," said Martin. "I am anxious to come out tomorrow and see how we play."
The two teams will conclude the series on Sunday, April 21 with first pitch set for 1:00 p.m. The game will be streamed live on the Cavaliers Online All-Access player. Fans can listen to the game on the Seminoles.com All-Access player and locally on 100.7 FM. As always, Seminole fans can follow the Noles on twitter @FSU_Baseball and remember to like the Seminoles on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FSUBaseball). Live stats for the game will be available via gametracker.

Roseville sits at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highway 65, providing easy access to Lincoln, Yuba City, and other rural communities. It is also home to countless business, retail, and recreational opportunities.
Roseville is a sprawling city comprised of three distinctive sections – East Roseville/Granite Bay, Central Roseville, and West Roseville. Within those communities lie 72 meticulously maintained parks, welcoming families and active adults with sports facilities, play structures, and picnic areas. Roseville also prides itself on being a bicycle-friendly community with more than 90 miles of bike lanes and 32 miles of off-street paths. In a study conducted by 24/7 Wall Street, Roseville was ranked as the 35th best city for living in the U.S. when compared to other cities of its size – populations of 65,000 or more.
The City of Roseville operates the Roseville Aquatics Complex (with the Summer Sanders Olympic-size competition pool and children's interactive play area) and the Roseville Fitness Center (with climbing wall, batting cages, classes, and cardio and strength training equipment). There's also an abundance of privately owned recreational outlets, including golf courses, competitive indoor soccer, bounce arenas, laser tag, waterslides, and go-carts.
Professional and personal amenities are plentiful with Sierra College located nearby and two state-of-the art medical facilities in the heart of Roseville. The Galleria and Fountains shopping centers are worthy attractions with seasonal amenities (interactive water fountains, ice skating rink, and train rides) as well as housing a plethora of shops and restaurants.
For a less mainstream and more small town atmosphere, there's downtown Roseville. This intimate thoroughfare embraces the community's historic roots and neighborly vibe with art walks, street fairs, Wine Down Wednesdays, concerts in the square, and outdoor film showings. There you'll find restaurants, cafes, shops, ice cream parlors, and several venues for cultural and performing arts - many of which offer activities and classes for kids.
There are five public school districts in Roseville with several highly rated schools among them. There are also many private education options. The City of Roseville operates Adventure Club, a program offering before and after school childcare at schools in the Dry Creek and Roseville City School Districts. Preschool and tiny tots programs are also available.

Patients who received the antidepressant escitalopram following a stroke appeared to recover more of their thinking, learning and memory skills than those taking placebo or participating in problem-solving therapy, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Stroke remains a major health care problem and a significant cause of death and disability around the world, according to background information in the article. Significant recent advances in the treatment of stroke include the administration of clot-dissolving therapy, which needs to be administered within the first few hours after symptoms begin. "Consequently, besides the efforts currently undertaken to increase the number of patients treated with thrombolytic agents, there is growing interest in restorative therapies that can be administered during the first few months after stroke, the period within which we observe the greatest degree of spontaneous recovery of initial motor and cognitive deficits," the authors write.
One line of research has focused on antidepressants, which may be effective in part because of their ability to stimulate production of compounds essential for nerve cell growth. Ricardo E. Jorge, M.D., and colleagues at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, studied the effects of one antidepressant—a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram—among 129 stroke patients. Within three months of their stroke, 43 patients were randomly assigned to take 5 to 10 milligrams of escitalopram daily, 45 to take a placebo daily and 41 to participate in a problem-solving therapy program developed for treating patients with depression.
After 12 weeks of treatment, patients taking escitalopram had higher scores on neuropsychological tests assessing overall cognitive (thinking, learning and memory) function and on those measuring verbal and visual memory. "Importantly, the reported changes in neuropsychological performance resulted in an improvement in related activities of daily living," the authors write.
"The beneficial effect of escitalopram on cognitive recovery was independent of its effect on depressive symptoms and was not influenced by stroke type or mechanism of ischemic stroke," they continue. "In addition, escitalopram was well tolerated and the frequency of adverse effects related to its administration was not different than that observed among patients receiving placebo."
Increasing evidence suggests that antidepressants cause changes in brain structure, including the visual cortex, hippocampus and cerebral cortex. These structural changes, although not yet proven to affect behavioral performance, may underlie the improvements in verbal and visual memory observed in this trial, the authors note. "Overall, whatever may be the mechanism of improved cognitive recovery, this study has shown, for the first time, that escitalopram, an SSRI, is associated with improved cognitive recovery following stroke compared with placebo and Problem-Solving Therapy," they conclude. "The utility of antidepressants in the process of post-stroke recovery deserves to be further investigated."

A video of a shadowy figure fondling the upcoming Galaxy S IV has leaked to the forum 52Samsung. The man (?) pokes around the Android operating system, apparently still skinned with Samsung's TouchWiz UI overlay, as the iPad mini promo from Apple's October 2012 keynote plays on a TV screen above and behind him.
The Galaxy S IV he handles is similar in size and shape to the Galaxy S III released around this time last year, coming in black with a silver band around the edge that may or may not be real chrome this time. The user turns on the phone, briefly uses the camera to take some photos in burst mode, and then trawls through the settings to show the OS version number—Android 4.2.1—among other things.
Some other details about Samsung's next release leaked Monday in photos of the phone, and it appears to feature some of the specs we crave. The Galaxy S IV looks to have a 5-inch 1080p display, an eight-core Exynos 5 Octa 5410 SoC, 2GB of RAM, and an Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX544 GPU. The photos may be from the same person who filmed the video.
While the video reveals little that is new about the phone, the juxtaposition of Samsung's next big thing with Apple's next big thing from five months ago is hard not to notice. Either the man was watching the announcement live back in October, or he was watching an archived version of it later on. For inspiration? For hate-driven motivation? Out of boredom? Out of curiosity? The world may never know. Either way, these announcements are much more interesting and informative than Samsung's official series of commercials featuring a little boy named Jeremy which are meant to drum up excitement for the phone.
Samsung is set to formally announce the Galaxy S IV on March 14, where we will be on the ground reporting live from Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Holder's big test: Ferguson
Eric Holder is about to go where Barack Obama can't go: Ferguson, Missouri.
And when he arrives there Wednesday, the attorney general will stare down his biggest political test.
Story Continued Below
He'll deliver the same message in person that he and Obama have already tried from a distance: The federal government is on the case. If Ferguson residents don't trust their police to conduct an honest investigation of the shooting death of Michael Brown, they should have confidence that federal authorities will do it for them.
Holder has played this role many times before for Obama, saying what is politically difficult for the president, especially when it comes to race.
( Also on POLITICO: Ferguson mayor: No 'racial divide')
But Holder's visit has far more significance than a scripted statement or a photo op from Washington. It will force Holder to prove his standing both as the first black attorney general, with a black community in crisis, and as a leader with a long history in law enforcement, with local police.
If he succeeds, Holder will have proved his skill as a peacemaker and top Obama proxy.
"I think this is probably the biggest challenge he has faced as attorney general," said Charles Ogletree, a Harvard law professor who has known Holder for more than 20 years. "But I'm confident that he'll be successful, that this issue will be resolved, and that Michael Brown's life will not have been taken in vain."
Holder will visit an FBI field office and talk with officials and federal prosecutors about the state of the investigation.
( Also on POLITICO: Why Obama can't go there)
He will also meet Wednesday with community leaders.
He's going to face a lot of frustration and skepticism, however, from Ferguson residents — including the self-described "peacemakers" who say they've been trying to keep all of the demonstrations peaceful and haven't been getting any help from the police.
Renita Lamkin, pastor of St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church in St. Charles, Missouri — who got shot with a rubber bullet during one of the demonstrations — said Holder needs to talk specifics. She says he should explain how the Justice Department is going to make sure there's an impartial investigation of Brown's shooting, how it will stand up for the rights of peaceful demonstrators, and how it will help them talk directly with the leaders of the Missouri Highway Patrol to point out potential troublemakers.
"If he's just making general promises, they're not going to respect that," Lamkin said. "He cannot give generalities. People are tired of that."
( Also on POLITICO: Ferguson media gets into the story)
Holder's weathered many storms as attorney general, facing inquiries on Capitol Hill and calls from Republicans for his resignation. But he's survived it all as an Obama loyalist.
The visit is an unusually active role for an attorney general. They often take political hits for the administration, like Janet Reno did for the 1993 siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, but personal visits are extremely rare. Even during the height of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, Robert F. Kennedy sent deputies to the scenes of turmoil.
Officially, Holder will present himself as the law-and-order guy. Justice Department officials say he's likely to defend legitimate protests — speaking up for the rights of the many peaceful demonstrators who have filled the Ferguson streets — while condemning the smaller number of violent demonstrators who have been clashing with the police.
That message isn't new for the administration. Obama said pretty much the same thing on Monday, and it didn't do any good. The difference on Wednesday, though, is that it will be delivered in person. And some of Holder's friends say he'll have the credibility that's needed in a community that has completely lost trust in the Ferguson Police Department's treatment of African-Americans.
"I do think that race matters here, in a good way," said civil rights attorney John Brittain, a law professor at the University of the District of Columbia. "I do think he would have some appeal, as the first African-American attorney general, serving under the first African-American president, to try to restore some calm, try to ensure that there will be an independent investigation, and try to move forward with some community involvement to change conditions in Ferguson."
Ogletree believes Holder's appeal will go beyond that, though. He thinks Holder's decades of law enforcement experience will give him the authority to mediate between the police and the demonstrators — urging the protesters to stay peaceful, while also suggesting to the Ferguson police that maybe the tanks and rubber bullets weren't the brightest ways to handle the situation.
"I think he realized that if I'm going to be the attorney general, the top law enforcement officer in the United States … I've got to be present, I've got to be part of it, and I need people to see me there," Ogletree said.

Families, caregivers, charities and research groups across the United States observe September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the U.S., 15,780 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year; approximately 1/4 of them will not survive the disease. A diagnosis turns the lives of the entire family upside down. The objective of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is to put a spotlight on the types of cancer that largely affect children, survivorship issues, and – importantly – to help raise funds for research and family support.

We have combined several of our popular store items into special awareness kits for the month of September. Kits include gold ribbon lapel pins, gold ribbon stickers, car magnets, and more. Click the link to visit our e-store.
ACCO unites childhood cancer advocates across the country by highlighting individual stories through our Gold Ribbon Heroes Program and by registering and facilitating awareness events and fundraisers at schools and businesses. September is a time to commit to raising childhood cancer awareness all year. Pledge to bring awareness to your community, and choose an event option below!
Nominate September Gold Ribbon Heroes
Gold Ribbon Heroes are individuals who have made a positive impact on the lives of others. This includes patients, parents, hospital staff, volunteers, survivors, siblings, and more. We want to recognize the impact they have made, and we hope you will share their stories to inspire others. Nominate your hero HERE.
Host or Register Awareness Events
We aim to register as many childhood cancer awareness events as possible during September. Of course, we would love to see many events in September, but we understand that many school and business calendars may not be able to accomodate additional events until later in the year. If this applies to your school or business, we urge you to commit to hosting an event, even if it cannot be held in September. Children with cancer need our support year-round!
- PJammin® for Kids with Cancer Participants pay a minimum of $1 to wear pajamas in honor of kids with cancer. This is a great program for schools!
- Go Gold® Participants plan and host a gold-themed event to raise awareness of the symbol for childhood cancer. This is a fun project for groups, businesses, and churches.
These event choices offer enough ease and flexibility for anyone to join in this important initiative. Your participation will help create aware, supportive communitities for families who face this terrible diagnosis, and all donations will support the creation and implementation of support programs and materials. Participants have 2 different options (see below) to help plan and host their events. ACCO will provide fundraising consultation, if needed, and we will also provide gold ribbon stickers and free flyers for event promotion.

Senate Passes Allard-Clinton 'National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day' Resolution
May 23, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C.– September 13, 2008 will now be recognized as "National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day" as a result of a Senate resolution introduced by U.S. Senators Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY).
"Never before in history has the dream of eliminating childhood cancer been so attainable, yet seemed so elusive," said Senator Allard. "We live in a nation where the effectiveness of treatments and technology offer hope to children who dream of a bright future. Each case of childhood cancer is a very personal tragedy that can strike any family with children, at anytime, anywhere. In setting aside September 13th to recognize this battle on cancer, we continue of our efforts to draw attention to the victims of childhood cancer and the great work of the families and organizations who continue the fight."
"We have made tremendous strides in the fight against childhood cancer, but far too many children still suffer and lose their lives to this illness. The more we know as a nation the better able we will be to prevent and treat the disease and help those who are battling and surviving pediatric cancers. National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day is an opportunity to reach out to all Americans with the facts about childhood cancer, and this day will be an important symbol of our commitment on all days to find a cure," said Senator Clinton.
Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer and the second overall leading cause of death of children in the United States. More than 10,000 children under the age of 15 in the United States are diagnosed with cancer annually.
The following is the initial proclamation signed in 1990 by then President George H.W. Bush naming October as National Awareness Month for Childhood Cancer.
National Awareness Month for Children With Cancer, 1990
By the President of the
United States of America
A Proclamation
Thanks to the dramatic progress that has been made in early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, young cancer victims and their families no longer need to relinquish their dreams for the future. In many cases, advances in science and technology are bringing hope and healing where once there was only fear and loss.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the number of child deaths from cancer in the United States declined by 36 percent between 1973 and 1987 – a significant change in a relatively short period of time. Today, three out of every four children diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease are being cured. Since 1960, our ability to treat other serious forms of cancer such as Wilm's tumor and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has improved markedly—nearly 50 percent more children are living for at least five years after diagnosis. The Department also reports that the number of children surviving acute lymphocytic leukemia has risen by 25 percent since 1974.
Nevertheless, despite such encouraging progress, cancer continues to be the leading cause of death by disease among children between the ages of 3 and 14. Families facing the specter of childhood cancer need the best possible medical care and emotional support we can provide. Many need financial help as well. Every family touched by childhood cancer needs the support of its relatives, neighbors, teachers, and clergy. Parents need the understanding and compassions of their employers, and brothers and sisters of young cancer victims need special consideration, both at home and in school. Young cancer patients themselves need every opportunity to express and pursue the fresh, unjaded dreams that are the hallmark of childhood.
Many private organizations and government agencies throughout the United States are working to meet the needs of children with cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), operating within the Department of Health and Human Services, is the Federal Government's principal agency for cancer research. In cooperation with universities and research institutes throughout the Nation, the NCI is engaged in treatment studies for 14 types of childhood cancer. Yielding new and refined methods of treatment, these studies are helping to improve the prognosis for many young cancer victims. For example, many children whose bone cancer in the past might have required the amputation of an arm or leg can now benefit from surgical techniques that allow them to keep their limbs without diminished chances of survival.
In addition to advances in research and technology, rehabilitation programs are likewise helping to improve the quality of life enjoyed by young cancer patients. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the brain and nervous system for example, are making it possible for many of those who must use artificial limbs to control them by brain impulses.
Hundreds of private voluntary organizations at both the national and local levels—including the American Cancer Society, the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation, the Leukemia Society of America, and the Ronald McDonald Foundation are helping parents and children to cope with the emotional and financial stresses created by cancer treatment and rehabilitation. Through the generosity of these and other groups, young cancer patients and their parents may obtain free air travel to treatment centers; parents may benefit from low-cost lodging while their little one is receiving treatment far from home; and youngsters themselves may have the opportunity to spend time at a special summer camp or to see an earnest wish fulfilled.
This month we recognize the dedication and hard work of all those scientists, health care professionals, and volunteers who are working to overcome childhood cancer and to assist its victims. We also reaffirm our admiration and support for the courageous youngsters and parents who struggle with this disease.
Now, therefore, I George Bush, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 1990 as National Awareness Month for Children with Cancer. I encourage all Americans to observe this month through appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEROF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of October, in the year of our Lord Nineteen hundred and ninety, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifteenth.
George Bush

Jason Phillips '98 holds a bachelor's of science degree from Portland State University.
The Bureau of Reclamation's Mid-Pacific Region announced today that Jason Phillips has been selected as the Deputy Regional Director. This position was formerly the Assistant Regional Director for Technical Services.
"Jason has successfully led the way on many complex water resources issues in the Region," stated Regional Director David Murillo. "His leadership skills will be invaluable in helping the Region accomplish our obligations in the areas of water delivery, water conservation, flood control, power generation and protecting natural and cultural resources."
When Phillips assumes his new responsibilities in mid-December, he will join the Regional Director's Office as one of two deputies; Pablo Arroyave has served as the Deputy Regional Director since 2009. Both deputies will assist the Regional Director in managing the Mid-Pacific Region, which is headquartered in Sacramento and responsible for 11 key water projects throughout the northern two-thirds of California, most of western Nevada and part of southern Oregon. The Region includes California's Central Valley Project, one of the largest and best-known multi-purpose water projects in the nation.
Phillips has been the Area Manager for Reclamation's Klamath Basin Area Office, based in Klamath Falls, Ore., since January 2011, managing the operation and maintenance of facilities that deliver water to more than 200,000 irrigable acres and up to 44,000 acres of wildlife refuge wetlands. Klamath Area Office staff are also part of the federal team working on the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement and the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement.
Prior to becoming the Klamath Basin Area Manager, Phillips managed several complex programs in the Mid-Pacific Region including the San Joaquin River Restoration Program, Upper San Joaquin River Basin Storage Investigation and the San Luis Drainage Feature Re-evaluation.
Phillips previously worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Sacramento as a manager on flood control and ecosystem restoration projects, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Comprehensive Study. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from Portland State University

I have to totally agree with Susan Reimer's assertion that Democrats must be living in a lovely dream waiting for the November elections ("Women will remember in November," March 12). True, some Republican presidential hopefuls have come down with foot in mouth disease, and there seems to be no shortage of eyebrow raising sound bites coming from the endless parade of televised debates. However, it's not the gaffes or the "I shouldn't have said that" moments that are making Democrats salivate for the coming elections but the realization that once again, the women's vote will lock onto a single issue and make it a major election point.
Democratic power brokers can always count on certain voting blocs to make this happen. This strategy has the effect of taking the focus off the economy, loss of jobs, Middle East concerns, all the areas where Barack Obama has been a miserable failure and placing the focus on issues that have little or no meaning to the majority of people in this country. Ms. Reimer went out of her way to intimate that birth control and women in combat were issues on the forefront of women's concerns for this year's elections. Does any sane person actually think that a candidate's views on birth control, once elected, will ever be discussed again?
Come on, Ms. Reimer. Do you really believe that with all the difficulties we face every day, many of which have been bestowed on us by this administration, that birth control and the roles of women in combat are what women voters are going to remember when choosing a candidate?
Bob Voelker, Timonium
