22nd-Ranked Illini Top Weary Nittany Lions 79-65

Kofi Cockburn hammers two of his game-high 21 points, during Tuesday's 79-65 Illinois win over Penn State at the State Farm Center.

CHAMPAIGN – Kofi Cockburn is the national leader in men’s college basketball double-doubles, and he notched his eleventh of the season Tuesday night in a 79-65 Illini basketball win over Penn State at the State Farm Center.

Cockburn scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, game-highs for both categories. He said teamwork was the key to success.

“We elevated each other,” said Cockburn of himself and his teammates. “We had 18 assists. In one basketball game, that’s really great — like Coach (Illinois head coach Brad Underwood) told us just now. It’s just elevating each other, playing for each other. You know, sharing the ball, come back on defense and just playing for the guy beside you. We did that really well today.”

Cockburn was 6-of-10 on field goals, a worse percentage than his season average (70.1%). But he connected on 9-of-13 free throws Tuesday, an improvement on recent performance.

He was relieved.

“It kind of got to me,” said Cockburn. “I started pausing my shot, and doing all kinds of stuff with my shot. And it was just Coach — he got on me so much — he said I’m really good when I’m making free throws because guys have to foul me to stop me. So it’s just extra hours in the gym. Putting up 300 makes a day, with coach. And just stepping up to the line with confidence and knocking the shot down, the way I could.”

Penn State’s interim head coach Jim Ferry watched more basketball than he coached in January, due to COVID-19 postponements. He compared the Illini team of Tuesday to the Illini team that visited State College on December 23rd.

“I thought, as a team, their whole defensive disposition was significantly different,” said Ferry. “They were really physical. They were physical with our guards. They were physical on ball screens. It looked like a team. They were playing with a sense of urgency. You know, they just lost two games in a row at home and I thought you could tell, defensively, they were really locked in.

“When you have Kofi inside, and Ayo on the outside, that’s a great combination. And I think it allows other guys to just play. Those other guys don’t really have to do much, they can just play off those guys. And that’s what makes them a really good team.

Myreon Jones led Penn State with 20 points. Seth Lundy added 13. John Harrar grabbed 9 rebounds for the Lions. Trent Frazier and Ayo Dosunmu each scored 13 points for Illinois. Dosunmu added a game-high five assists. Penn State won the rebounding battle 40-35. Illinois committed 15 turnovers, while the Nittany Lions turned the ball over 16 times.

The game was delayed by a skirmish between the teams which resulted in three technical fouls. A fourth technical foul was later assessed to Illini freshman Coleman Hawkins for taunting after blocking a Penn state shot. Illini coach Brad Underwood said he liked the freshman’s attitude, which reminded him of his younger self as a college player in the 1980s.

Underwood started Jacob Grandison in place of Da’Monte Williams, as he continues to find fives of players who work well together.

“The insertion of Jacob worked out nice, and it wasn’t that Da’Monte had been doing anything poorly,” said Underwood. “I thought it was just a change. You guys (the media) know I don’t care about who starts and who doesn’t. It’s about trying to find that mix. I made a concentrated effort to try and get Coleman (Hawkins) more minutes & involved in the ballgame.

“Eighteen assists tonight is something I’m really proud of. I’m really proud of our execution against the (Penn State) zone (defense). We have not seen a lot of zone. We’ve got a very, very good passing team and that was very evident tonight.”

Penn State drops to 0-5 in the Big Ten Conference, and 3-6 overall. The Nittany Lions will continue to play every other day while they catch up on COVID-19 postponements, beginning with a home game against Rutgers on Thursday.

Illinois is now 10-5, 6-3 in conference. Their next scheduled game, Saturday at Michigan State, has been postponed due to COVID. The next game after that on the Illini schedule is Friday, January 29th, at home against Iowa.

Osteoporosis – Know the Basics

What is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis or “porous bone” is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.

How common is Osteoporosis?

It is a public health problem affecting 55% of people 50 years and older. In the U.S. today, it is estimated that 10 million already have the disease and 34 million are estimated to have a low bone mass placing them at an increased risk for osteoporosis.

Of the 10 million, 8 million are women and 2 million are men.   While Caucasian and Asian women are at highest risk, people of all ethnic backgrounds are at risk. It can strike at any age and is often known as the “silent thief”.

What are the symptoms of Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is often known as the silent disease because bone loss can occur without symptoms. Most spine fractures occur with minimal trauma such as a strain, bump or fall which collapses a vertebra. This results in severe back pain, height loss and eventually a stooped posture.

What are the most common areas for an osteoporotic fracture?

Any bone can sustain an osteoporotic fracture. Vertebral fractures are the most common and usually result from a fall (30-60%).   Hip fractures are the second most common followed by the forearm.

Approximately 65,000 women die of fracture complications each year and about 20% need long term care for their fractures.

What are T–scores?

You may hear your doctor use the term T-scores to describe your bone density.
T-score compares the patient’s bone mineral density with the mean value in young adult white women. (T-Score interpretation)

How does one detect Osteoporosis?

Ordinary X-rays do not detect osteoporosis until the condition is advanced. Specialized tests called bone density tests (DEXA Scans) can measure density in various parts of the body.   These tests are safe and painless. A DEXA Scan can:

  • Detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs
  • Predict chances of a future fracture
  • Determine the rate of bone loss and monitor treatment when done at appropriate intervals.

Who should have a bone density test?

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that:

  • All postmenopausal women under age 65 who have one or more additional risk factors besides menopause
  • All women over age 65 regardless of other risk factors
  • Postmenopausal women that present with fractures
  • Women considering a medication for osteoporosis if bone density testing will facilitate that decision

Is bone mineral density testing covered by insurance?

Please check with your insurance carrier and your doctor since coverage is not uniform. In general, women who are postmenopausal and have any of the above mentioned risk factors are eligible.

Medicare covers bone density tests for individuals at risk for osteoporosis. Under Medicare the following individuals (men and women) are covered for a bone density test:

  • Women over age 65 who are estrogen deficient
  • Osteopenia or low bone mass on X-ray
  • Prolonged glucocorticoid therapy (> 3 months with 7.5 mg of prednisone or equivalent)
  • Previous fracture
  • Primary hyperparathyroidism
  • Monitoring therapy for osteoporosis to see if it is working

Who is at risk for Osteoporosis?

Listed below are some risk factors for low bone mass.

Non modifiable:

  • Female gender
  • Advancing age
  • Caucasian or Asian
  • Family history
  • Age at menopause previous fractures
  • Low body weight
  • Thin small bones/small frame

  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Low calcium intake
  • Low vitamin
  • Previous fractures
  • Alcoholism and smoking
  • Medications (steroids and some anticonvulsants)

Who should be treated?

The National Osteoporosis Foundation has the following recommendations for osteoporosis treatment:

  • Women with bone mass density T-scores below –2 in the absence of osteoporosis risk factors
  • Women with bone mass density T-scores below –1.5 if other risk factors are present

Your physician will analyze your bone density results using T-scores in conjunction with risk factors. Depending on these factors, treatment plans and subsequent follow up bone density tests are recommended.

Is it important to have follow-up scans on the same scanner?

Yes, the results need to be compared to prior scans. The ISCD recommends that scans be done at the same facility, on the same machine and preferably by the same technician.

The Larrikin

March 11, 2022
Myer Lipschitz

On Saturday Australia woke up to the tragic news that Shane Warne had passed away as a result of a heart attack at the very young age of 52. I don’t think there is a person in Australia (or even the world) who hasn’t heard of Shane Warne whether you follow cricket or not. He was beloved by all Australians and was seen as a true son of Australia because he was so relatable and embodied much of the national character. He has been described in the press as a true Australian larrikin. It prompted me to do some research on the term larrikin and to try and understand why the larrikin character resonates so deeply with Australians.

The term refers to an Australian stereotype and it represents a fundamentally good person that tests the boundaries of dubious rules. Someone who thumbs their nose at convention, is against hypocrisy or anyone with airs and graces.

It’s been likened to the tall poppy syndrome which is used to describe those who deliberately put down another for their success and achievements, or even the ‘Aussie battler’ which describes those who toil away and do the best they can despite their humble beginnings and modest financial resources, but the larrikin is actually quite different from the tall poppy syndrome or the “Aussie battler”.

 The historian Manning Clark described the larrikin as “almost archly self-conscious – too smart for his own good, witty rather than humorous, exceeding limits, bending rules and sailing close to the wind, avoiding rather than evading responsibility, playing to an audience, mocking pomposity and smugness, taking the piss out of people, cutting down tall poppies, born of a Wednesday, looking both ways for a Sunday, larger than life, sceptical, iconoclastic, egalitarian yet suffering fools badly, and, above all, defiant.”

Having a likeable rogue and rebel as a beloved national stereotype seems a bit at odds with a society that adheres to the concept of the greater good and is prepared to sacrifice individual liberties for the betterment of society (92% of Australians are double vaxxed). Most Australians tend to be quite conservative in their views yet the larrikin is loved by nearly all Australians.

Larrikins can be found in a wide variety of persona in different walks of life such as politics (former Prime Minister Bob Hawke), sport (Shane Warne), characters in films (Crocodile Dundee) and even criminals (Ned Kelly).

I asked the staff in the office for the antithesis of the larrikin and received a number of answers. “Someone who is uptight”, “a goody two shoes”, “a snob” were some of the answers that I received. When I put forward the term “wanker” I was shot down thus evidencing that after living in Australia for 14 years I still had much to learn. Older literature refers to the antithesis of the larrikin being the “wowser” but no one uses terminology like that anymore. I would have to say that “phlegmatic” possibly best describes the antonym of a larrikin but the use of that word would probably identify me as a wowser and I would risk a hostile office environment.

Warne was once famously partnered with Liz Hurley, who herself was the ex of Hugh Grant who tends to play characters that could be described as a “toff” which is just the opposite of a larrikin and far from a boisterous rule-bending yet loveable everyman.

One of the staff said to me that Australians like successful people but they would just like them to behave like ordinary people, whereas Americans seem to have a much higher tolerance for successful people acting like stars.

Warne was wealthy enough to afford the finest food yet preferred Vegemite on toast and baked beans, even while on cricketing tours far from home. He could mingle with the upper classes but didn’t change the way he acted, he was always just himself, and that’s what Aussies find endearing in their celebrities. He famously bent or broke many rules but fessed up each time and was forgiven because he was a larrikin, he never pretended to be perfect.

The Australian affection for the larrikin can probably be traced to the prolonged period of the transportation of British and Irish convicts to Australia as a penal settlement and the basis of Australia as a British penal colony. Many of the convicts evidenced qualities that were more personable, and more respectable, than those figures of the English legal system and the authorities who had transferred them to Australia, or made them into criminals.

According to historical records the word itself seems to have been coined by an Irish policeman in Melbourne court who claimed the prisoner was “larkin about” and the word evolved to come to define the character that we now know as the larrikin.

Fair warning, if you decide to immigrate to Australia there is a chance that your children could grow to be larrikins. If you have a child who is boisterous, cheeky, has an outgoing personality, slightly disobedient or sneak the occassional cigarette or beer these are some of the signs to look out for. It also doesn’t hurt if they can bowl a leg break, slider, flipper or wrong’un.

Prehistoric discovery

Prehistoric discovery

By Wyndi Veigel

If you’re a fan of fishing, boating or swimming in Lake Lavon, you might be surprised to discover the area now covered by the lake has a bit of a prehistoric past.

A Wylie family with an affinity for combing the shores of the lake looking for small fossils made quite the discovery on Super Bowl Sunday 2019.

Matthew Payne, his wife Tana Trent and her daughter Landry, 11, uncovered an 80-million-year old mosasaur skeleton.

Though the animal’s name may sound like a dinosaur, and it did appear in the Jurassic Park series, it is in fact a marine lizard, according to Michael Polcyn, Senior Fellow at Southern Methodist University Institute for the Study of Earth and Man.

The discovery of the marine lizard wasn’t, well, all that unusual for the family. This is their third mosasaur fossil find in Collin County.

“As a family it’s something we do together,” Matt said. “We look for small fossils and crystals and go on ‘treasure hunts.’”

In June 2014, Matt, his daughter Karmyn Magdaleno, 20, and Tana found a lone bone in the flood pasture directly across the street from the Sachse Walmart on Hwy. 78, lying on the top of the

After emailing a photo of the bone to Dr. Dale Winkler at SMU, it was identified as a mosasaur vertebra.

The family’s second mosasaur discovery occurred on Super Bowl Sunday 2017 when Tana and her 16-year-old daughter, Conoly Trent, were walking along the shores of Collin Park at Lake Lavon. This time, they found 16 bleached, exposed bones laying on the surface.

Once again, they sent photos to Dr. Winkler who confirmed it was another mosasaur. They were introduced to Polcyn, who is an expert on mosasaurs.

After securing a permit to excavate, Polycn and his team were able to dig the bones out. The total excavation only took a few hours.

To the untrained eye the mosasaur skeleton might have gone unnoticed on that fateful day in April, but to Matt, whose nickname is ‘Eagle Eyes,’ he could tell that something was abnormal in the pile of rocks.

That abnormality turned out to be a large rib bone and part of a sternum from a mosasaur.

This time the family called Polcyn directly and permits were acquired to complete the excavation. As one could imagine, the scientist was

surprised and extremely thrilled to hear from the family again.

“It’s rare enough to find one so it was a bit of a surprise,” Polcyn said. “But citizens like this are so important and it’s fantastic that they are able to bring finds to the attention of scientists.”

As the excavation began, a closed group on social media was formed to keep the now federally protected site a secret while allowing trustworthy individuals the ability to see the archeological dig.

“Excavating bones is really interesting,” Matt said. “The community and locals have enjoyed seeing this.”

As the dig continued for four days, more and more parts of the marine lizard were uncovered including parts not previously discovered.

“We found some significant skull bones, limbs and girdle material which is quite rare,” Polcyn said. “We have a few pieces that we didn’t know about.”

During the archeological dig, the bones are individually uncovered, then covered with plaster and then removed in order to preserve the bones.

Immobilizing the bone keeps them safe, much like a cast does after a broken bone on a human, Polcyn explained.

After the plaster hardens, the bones are transported back to the lab at SMU where they can be uncast and then assembled into a skeleton – a process that can take months or even years.

Polcyn explained that since the dig site is federally protected, only those associated with the SMU team are allowed to dig at the site. Members of the team included volunteers Bill Johnson, Ricky Manning, Wayne Furstenwerth, Larry Bell, Sandy Polcyn, Susan Smith and Joe Simpson.

Along with the time period, scientists have uncovered that this particular marine lizard is a 12- to 15-foot-long creature of the species Latoplatecarpus willistoni. Based on the fossil discovery, it is estimated that the mosasaur was close to an adult in age, Polcyn said.

The mosasaur species typically dined on fish with its needle-like teeth, as well as octopus relatives and even jellyfish.

Since Lake Lavon doesn’t contain octopus or jellyfish, and isn’t prehistoric in nature, one might question how a marine lizard came to be found on its banks.

“They are being found currently because of erosion,” Polcyn said.

During the time that mosasaurs were alive, much of Texas was covered by water as part of the Western Interior Seaway, allowing the marine lizards the perfect environment to thrive, dine on fish and eventually die.

After the fossils are uncovered and uncast, they will become part of the Shuler Museum of Paleontology at SMU, which will give scientists the ability to study the bones and learn more about the marine lizards.

SMU also works closely with the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas to aid in its dinosaur collection.

Detailed pictures of Ford Figo Facelift hit the web

16/09/2012 - 14:25 | ,   | Kaustubh Shinde

IAB was the first publication to get you up close pictures of the upcoming Ford Figo facelift testing in Chennai. Now, ‘Toyoubala’, a forum member of a popular Indian automotive forum TheAutomotiveIndia, brings us a detailed look at the Figo facelift.

Ford Figo Facelift front fasciaFord Figo Facelift front

The biggest add on is the ‘kinetic blue’ color option on the Figo which makes it look very fresh and sexy. The color option originally debut on the new Fiesta which made it look very vibrant and lively. Although the front fascia is completely camouflaged, we can notice the hexagonal grille which is the new ford design language in action.

The head lamps and the fog lamp housing have been redesigned and so is the new chrome embellished grille. The new 8 spoke alloy wheel design has also been refreshed and is now inspired by the new Fiesta’s wheels.

Ford Figo Facelift alloy wheelsFord Figo Facelift rear

At the rear, we see that the tail lamps have been wrapped up to hide them for prying eyes. Thus, we can expect a new tail lamp design. A chrome strip has also been added to the tail gate to make the rear look more premium.

The Figo was launched in early 2010 and is nearing its mid-life stage. Ford India has sold more than two lakh units till date. The model is so successful that the company ships petrol variants to 35 countries and there are plans to increase the list to 50 countries.

To continue the successful journey, Ford India has decided to give the Figo a mid-life facelift for the next two years. The facelift has been doing testing rounds since a while now.

We don’t expect Ford to make any mechanical changes to the Figo as it is an old platform. Any mechanical changes such as an addition of PowerShift automatic gearbox would be financially very expensive. The move will be welcomed nonetheless

While speaking to IAB, Ford India’s management confirmed that an upgrade for the Figo will hit the stands in Diwali.

Can the Ford Figo facelift bring some festive sheer to the Ford camp  this Diwali?

Fully Exposed - Here is the Mahindra Quanto in all its glory

15/09/2012 - 19:48 | ,   | Kaustubh Shinde

The Compact SUV revolution has finally begun. The Renault Duster has mopped up 15,000 bookings from all across India. But on 20th September, this revolution will be turbocharged as Mahindra will bring the strongest contender in this segment – the Mahindra Quanto .

Mahindra Quanto frontMahindra Quanto side

But just 5 days before its official debut, a TeamBHP member ‘Torque-ative’ has managed to fully expose the Mahindra Quanto in all its glory. Here we have a fully loaded model which is evident from alloys wheels; generally bestowed on the top variants.

Mahindra Quanto side profileMahindra Quanto rear

The Mahindra Quanto has been caught countless number of time on the Indian streets before. In fact, the Mahindra Quanto has been under testing since more than 2 years now. Codenamed U203, the Quanto is a sub 4 meter SUV based on the Mahindra Xylo’s ‘Ingenio’ platform.

Speculations are rife that it will be powered by a 1.5L, 3 cylinder, mCR100 engine generating 100 bhp and 240 Nm torque @ 3750 RPM. The acclaimed mileage is a whopping 17.3 kmpl.

mini Xylo Mahindra steering wheelmini Xylo Mahindra center console

We managed to scoop up the interiors of the Quanto a long time back. Nothing interesting in the interiors as most of them are taken from the Xylo. It will borrow the DDAS system from the Xylo that displays Average FE, Distance to Empty, Temperature etc

We are expecting the Mahindra Quanto to be fully loaded with exciting features such as such as Airbags, ABS brakes, 6-spoke alloy wheels, steering-mounted controls for audio, Bluetooth compatibility, height-adjustable driver seat and reverse parking sensors.

Stay tuned as we get you more juicy details of the Mahindra Quanto from ground zero on 20th September.

‘He had his whole life ahead of him’ – Teen dies after collapsing from ‘heat stroke’ during football practice

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

Drake Geiger was just 10 minutes into football practice at his Omaha High School when he collapsed in August last year.

Emergency services were called and the 16-year-old was rushed to hospital where doctors started doing compressions on him.

Sadly, Drake couldn’t be saved and his parents were called just an hour after they had dropped him off at practice.

“He didn’t deserve this. He had his whole life ahead of him. I just wish this didn’t happen,” Drake’s dad Scott Hoffman told KETV News.

His dad Scott had dropped him off for football practice on Tuesday.

“The last thing I said to him was, ‘Be tough, kid,’” he said.

The next thing he knew his coach was calling him to say he’d collapsed.

“The coach called me, said they did their first 10-minute drill, and he went up got a drink, came back, sat down, and fell over. Said he had only been at practice 10 minutes… said the EMTs were there taking him up to UNMC,” Scott said as per 6News. “We got up there, doctor came and told us he was extremely overheated, and he was very, very sick.”

He said doctors did compressions on his son for hours, but unfortunately, Drake died at the hospital.

“He was a big kid, he was big but he had his physical. He was healthy,” Scott said.

Hoffman said doctors told him Drake died of a heat stroke. The heat index during practice was about 106 degrees, according to KETV News.

Scott said his son was shy but loved being on a team.

“He just loved the camaraderie,” he added. “He didn’t care if he played. He just loved being with all the teammates, being part of the team.”

The 6-foot-3-inch teen was just days away from getting his driver’s license and was also excited to see his friends again at school.

According to a post, Drake’s sister said he was taken to Nebraska Medical Center Tuesday but efforts failed to revive him.

“With great sadness, they were not able to save him,” wrote Brittany Hoffman.

Omaha Public Schools sent a letter to students and parents saying the family had its “heartfelt sympathy and support.”

 The statement added: “Please keep the family in your thoughts during this difficult time.”

It is not immediately clear if the heat was a factor in Drake’s death. An autopsy is due to be carried out.

My heart goes out to the family of this teen. As our summers seem to be getting hotter we really need to keep this in mind when doing physical activity outside; this kind of situation can happen fast.

I hope the family gets all the love and support they need during such an unbearable time. Rest in peace Drake.

Please share.

Sorting through mountains of bottles and cans to recycle them may be a thing of the past thanks to a new recycling center set to be unveiled in Texas this month. Set up by Coca-Cola, the Reimagine recycling center swallows up bottles and cans in bulk — and rewards you through the My Coke Rewards Program.

The concept, developed by Coca-Cola and the Environmental Products Corporation, sorts and crushes objects with help from an optical scanner and conveyor belt. Aluminum containers are blown onto a horizontal conveyor, where they are taken to a can crusher. The device can store up to 65,000 crushed cans. PET plastic bottles travel up a vertical conveyor, where they are crushed and stored (up to 18,000 can be stored at a time).

The majority of crushed cans are remade into new cans, while the plastic bottles are turned into clothing, backpacks, carpet, and more. Want to check out Reimagine for yourself? The first beverage container recycling center is launching in Arlington, Texas this month. If all goes well, the system will expand to other areas in late 2011.

Myles Kennedy

Myles Kennedy

with Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown

Wooly’s in Des Moines, Iowa • September 14, 2021

September was a busy month in Iowa for killer shows, and Wooly’s in Des Moines again hosted a power-packed night on September 14, 2021. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, pared down to just Tyler Bryant and Graham Whitford, opened the show as a duo guitar performance that was simply incredible to witness. The headliner was none other than Myles Kennedy of, well, too many incredible bands to list here.

Tyler Bryant explained that drummer Caleb Crosby and his wife had welcomed their first child just before the tour started and created the opportunity for Tyler and Graham to go out on the road with a pared down version of The Shakedown. Tyler and Graham complement each other so well that with a kick drum managed by Tyler and the 2 guitars, you get to experience their music on a different level.

They open with the title track off their 2020 album Pressure, and where the album version powers through the speakers, this version chugs with a bit of swagger and grit. They move into a new unreleased song, “Tennessee,” and then their new single “Born Rockin’,” which is now available online. “Like the Old Me,” “That’s Alright,” and “Lipstick Wonder Woman” close out their set as they thank the loud and appreciative audience.

As Myles takes the stage, he immediately begins to banter with the audience and point at what I assume are various band t-shirts of projects that Myles has been a part of. It highlights one of the reasons that Wooly’s is such an incredible venue. It’s large enough to accommodate major headliners but intimate enough to create some great moments between performers and fans.

They tear through a couple songs off of the new album The Ides of March with “Wake Me When It’s Over” and “A Thousand Words,” before playing “Devil On The Wall,” “Turning Stones,” and “Haunted by Design,” all from his 2018 release Year of the Tiger. Myles continues to banter with the audience and seems to generally be having a great time as he is handed an acoustic guitar. First up is “All Ends Well,” before doing what has become an audience sing along with his cover Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper.”

The band rips through the Slash, featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators song “World on Fire,” and it’s only the second song during the set that didn’t come off of Myles’ solo albums. Finishing the set with “In Stride,” the band walks off stage shortly before returning for the encore of “The Ides of March” and “Worried Mind,” which are all on the new album. Myles thanks the audience for allowing them to play mostly Myles solo album songs and being supportive and receptive to the incredible music performed that evening.
