GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- The Atlantic Coast Conference's coaches have selected Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston as the league's player of the year and Duke's David Cutcliffe as the coach of the year.

The ACC announced the results of the coaches' vote Wednesday, one week after the voting media selected its award winners.

Winston, a Heisman Trophy favorite, also was voted the league's rookie of the year, the offensive player of the year and the first-team all-ACC quarterback by the coaches.

They picked Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald as the defensive player of the year and Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller as the defensive rookie of the year.

Winston and No. 1 Florida State beat Duke 45-7 in the league title game and will play No. 2 Auburn in the BCS title game.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There's an invasion taking place across Ohio.

Stink bugs - first identified in Pennsylvania in 1998 - are making their way into homes across Ohio. The brown, shield-shaped insects have been spreading throughout Ohio over the last six years or so.

Researchers say that even though the bugs have only been around for a short time, they expect they will be here to stay. Most think they got to the United States in containers shipped from Asia.

Stink bugs search out warm places when the weather cools and that's why they're moving into homes.

The pests are a threat to crops, but not to people.

But they do give off a foul odor whet they're squished.

WESTLAKE -- WKYC's Monica Robins is the moderator for the second Heroin in the Suburbs town hall forum. The first was held in Solon last month.

The forum begins at 7 p.m. at the Porter Library, 27333 Center Ridge Road.

Suburban teens and young adults are transitioning from abusing prescription pain killers to using heroin. Ways to stop this dangerous trend will be discussed at Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Michael Astrab's "Heroin in the Suburbs" forums. Prevention is the key.

In April, Robins presented a documentary "Heroin | Old drug, New killer epidemic" and a version was made available for students and schools

UK football offers scholarship to 7th grader

LEXINGTON, KY. (WKYT) - UK football coach Mark Stoops is planning for the future of the Wildcats' football program. is reporting UK offered a scholarship to seventh grader Jairus Brents this (Thursday) morning.

Brents is only 13-years-old. The youngster from Indiana participated in a football camp at the university last weekend weekend and opened the coaches' eyes.

The 5-foot-8, 152-pound Brents competed against the receivers from the Class of 2014 and intercepted three passes and broke up several other passing plays. According to the story on,

Brents is the second seventh-grade football player to be offered a scholarship offer. USC offered David Sills in 2010 when he was in seventh grade. Sills accepted the scholarship and is planning to sign with the Trojans in 2015.

Colleges cannot make handwritten offers to prospective recruits until their senior year of high school, although there is no NCAA rule against verbal offers. Colleges cannot publicly discuss specific recruits until they sign a letter of intent, which Brents will not be able to do until 2018.

LORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - The New York Jets have promoted linebacker Ricky Sapp from the practice squad to the active roster and added safety Antonio Allen to the practice squad.

Sapp, originally a 2010 fifth-round draft pick by Philadelphia out of Clemson, was with the Jets' practice squad last year and was on the active roster for the season finale. He was signed to New York's practice squad on Sept. 1 after being waived in the preseason by the team this year. He spent three days on the practice squad, was cut again, but then re-signed on Sept. 11.

Allen was the Jets' seventh-round pick out of South Carolina in April and was cut on Sept. 1, added to the practice squad the next day, then joined the active roster and played in three games in October. He was waived on Tuesday and re-signed to the practice squad Thursday.

Freedom crisis, not day-care crisis

Posted By Joseph Farah On 10/31/1997 @ 1:00 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled

Prepare for an onslaught of news and feature stories in the coming weeks about the latest American social “crisis” — a dearth of safe, available and affordable day-care options.

Why? Because Bill and Hillary Clinton have announced that this will be the latest issue they use to persuade us of the urgent need for greater federal intrusion into our lives. And, if you understand the way what I call the “government-media complex” works, reporters and editors all over America have accepted their marching orders and are now dutifully planning a series of horror stories designed to raise our collective consciousness on the untenable plight of working parents.

Don’t be fooled. This is nothing but another transparent grab for power by the central government in Washington. Understand that government empowerment of this kind always comes at a price — not just in higher taxes, but also, more importantly, in less personal freedom.

Isn’t it ironic how the very same kinds of people who coerced mothers into the job market — many against their will and better judgment — are now offering their plan as the only logical and compassionate solution to the very real problems they have created?

The truth is that these folks don’t care about you or your family. If you listen carefully enough to their rhetoric, you can see for yourself what their real goal is.

“We want American parents to succeed at the most important task they have — caring for the next generation — and to be good workers who contribute to the economy,” said Mrs. Clinton at a White House conference on the topic last week.

In other words, stay-at-home mothers (or fathers, for that matter) are not contributing to the economy. Your government considers you a deadbeat if your principal occupation and responsibility is taking care of your children. Unless you’re getting paid to take care of kids — and, thus, cutting the federal government in on the action through payroll taxes — you’re not “contributing to the economy.”

Even more so than Hillary Clinton’s plan for the phony health-care crisis, this push represents a grand threat to our constitutional system of limited government and our individual liberties. Though no details of the plan have been released, be assured that it will be the ultimate attempt to drive a stake through the heart of the institution of the family, to federalize control of your children from the day they are born and to create a new class of dependency on government.

Are families facing real problems today? You bet they are. More homes have two parents working than ever before. Why? Largely because the tax burden is so high that most couples feel they have little choice if they sincerely want to improve their material lives. Without even understanding why or noticing the gradual decline in their standards of life, they have become slaves to the state. Now a vocal minority are screaming for help.

If politicians sincerely want to create more options for parents, they ought to let them keep more of their hard-earned money — a lot more. They ought to encourage one parent to stay home to fulfill the most important responsibility any adult has in life — to raise children.

For the increasing number of single parents, the choices are tougher. But the first option ought to be family members, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. If those alternatives are not available, professional day care should be a last resort. However, if day care becomes the first option for most American parents, unprecedented social disaster will be imminent.

Hillary Clinton wants most kids under the control and supervision of government-approved day-care facilities. That is not a good plan for parents and it will be destructive for the next generation of Americans. If you have any doubts, just look at the very real crisis government has created in the nation’s public schools.

This is shaping up as nothing less than a fight over the future of America. Yet where are the voices of opposition? Have you heard one political leader in Washington voice an articulate dissent on Hillary’s plan to kidnap your children? Have you seen one news story, in print or on television, present even a balanced debate on the issue?

At the very moment we should be examining the failures of creeping socialism — in health care, education, public housing, welfare, etc. — the Clintons and a willing media are leading us down the primrose path toward advanced central planning and state servitude from which there may be no return.

Don’t get fooled again. This, so far, one-sided debate represents nothing less than a choice between freedom and slavery.

Charles Shelton believes this light approaching his West Virginia home is an angel.

A West Virginia minister says he received a divine revelation this month as he caught on camera what he believes is one of God’s holy angels.

Charles Shelton of Charleston, W.V., says it was early on the morning of Aug. 4 when he awoke and felt an urgent need to pray for his neighborhood.

Shelton had recently installed a surveillance system for his home, with a security camera posted outside.

Shelton, who turns 48 Sept. 1, says as he was praying, “I was sent to go to the monitor. And when I went to the monitor I appeared to see the angel of the Lord coming through the wall.”

The strange phenomenon was recorded, displaying a brilliant ball of light that approaches Shelton's home, appears to enter through the wall to his living room, and then exits a few seconds later. The large circular light then returns and approaches the home a second time at a slightly different angle.

"I waited and wondered what went on, and I was astonished about this light," he told the Charleston Daily Mail. "I said, 'Man that must be the presence of the Lord.' It's kind of hard to figure out what was going on but the Lord said for me to come down there and pray. When I began to pray and saw that light, I said, 'Lord, you blew my mind.'"

Some skeptics told Shelton, who has worked for UPS for 27 years, that the event may have been caused by a light or insect near his home, but Shelton is convinced an angel was present.

Charles Shelton describes the moving ball of light he believes was an angel entering his home in Charleston, W.V.

When asked what he thought it all meant, he said: "I believe that it means the Lord is gonna work on that neighborhood. We hear about the crime and we hear about the drugs in that area, and I believe the Lord is going to have that neighborhood cleaned up and the presence of the Lord is sending His angels. He's dispatching His angels in that neighborhood. And I believe it's time to let the people know that help is on the way. The police can't do it all. The neighbors can't do it all. But who do you rely on? And I rely on the Lord to do it."

Shelton told WOWK-TV that the experience has emboldened his faith.

"It changed me tremendously to know that when I pray, the Lord hears my prayer," he said.

But he also noted, "I never did look outside. It was just too astoni – I mean, it just blew my mind."

Stop! Recharge Yourself with this One Minute Digital Detox

Feeling taxed by 2014 already? Promised yourself you'd stop being a slave to your phone? Maybe it's time for a digital detox.

New Tech City host Manoush Zomorodi swears by these 5 steps to digital inner peace:

1. Limit yourself to charging your gadget ONCE for the week. You’ll begin rationing those Pinterest sessions instead of going on hours-long binges.

2. Pretend it’s the year you were born and only interact with people via the communication tools that were available that year. (I, for example, would only be able to talk by landline.)

3. Organize yourself with tactile products, like Post-Its. Unlike on your phone, that list of tasks will be a constant visual reminder… and you may actually complete them.

4. Send a tweet or status update that says you’re taking a break from Twitter/Facebook. You’ll look like a loony addict if you login before your self-imposed hiatus ends.

5. Reward yourself with something sensuous for every day you refrain from Facebook/email/CandyCrush. Treats could include a beautiful box of hand-printed letterpress cards, a foot massage, or a cuddle session with the neighbor’s pet rabbit. So soft.

This video is part of our live New Tech City event in WNYC's Greene Space, "Hit the Reset Button for 2014: An Evening of Tech + Introspection." You can watch it here. We have more tips, tactics and tales of how we can take a mindful approach to technology in our January 28 podcast episode. Subscribe here to make sure you don't miss it.

Our insurance company has "strongly suggested" that we tell you that Mountain Biking can be dangerous. If you're visiting this site it's very likely that you're already aware that if you insist on having a good time by riding your mountain bike, eventually you will almost certainly fall down and collect any number of boo-boos, dings and injuries, serious or otherwise, but we have to tell you anyway.

Mountain Biking is a potentially hazardous activity carrying a significant risk of bodily injury and even death. Mountain biking should only be undertaken if you have a complete awareness of these risks. You can reduce the level of risk by wearing a helmet and by riding within your own skill level.

  • I don't seem to have a lot of me time for myself. Perhaps I should. I watched somebody on TV who said she'd wake up at least 20 minutes ahead of everyone, fix herself up a cup of coffee and just enjoy the peace of those few minutes of quiet time. I told my friend about it and she suggested that I should do it in the afternoons while the kids are napping. I thought maybe I should get myself a zen garden or a table top fountain in my little nook in the house--something to stare at while enjoying those few minutes of quiet time while sipping coffee or just a soothing background sound while checking my mail.

    I saw these online:

    Perhaps I'll buy them for Christmas for myself!

For a Type A person like me (who can't rest her brain even when she sleeps), this one hour a week has been my saving grace.

  • I love to read magazines and books when I have time. I will prepare for this time by making sure I always have a "special" kind of tea or coffee (like International Coffee) and get in my PJ's and get into my bed and read whatever I want. Usually I can do this on Sundays. Oh, and I love to watch food TV on Sundays too! Also, I love to paint my toenails when I get a chance. were able to get have a manicure..woohoo..that is awesome!
    I also like what Kate said...I love to cook so I totally understand the grocery shopping response. However, most of the time, I am in such a rush..I don't have time to check out the new products, read labels and see what else I may want to try.

'Black genocide'

Abortion | Protesters want the NAACP to speak up on the slaughter of unborn African-Americans

Issue: "NextGen worship," July 26, 2008

If someone wiped out the entire African-American population in Oakland, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C., the number still wouldn't equal the number of black babies lost to abortion in one year: 683,294. According to the Allan Guttmacher Institute, African-American women are nearly five times more likely than non-Hispanic white women to have an abortion. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost one in every two African-American pregnancies ends in abortion.

These are facts, say pro-life blacks, that the NAACP can't afford to ignore. On July 14, the pro-lifers-including Alveda King (niece of Martin Luther King Jr.) and Clenard Childress of Life Education and Research Network-picketed the NAACP's 99th Annual Convention to address what Childress calls "black genocide." King said of Planned Parenthood, "It has led the way in eliminating African-Americans to the point where one quarter of the black population is now missing because of abortion. Planned Parenthood is anti-life and we are here to say enough is enough!"

Childress said the group was protesting the censorship of a pro-life resolution from the NAACP chapter in Macon, Ga. In February 2004, the NAACP made a statement endorsing the pro-abortion March Against Fear. In 2004 and 2007, the Macon chapter proposed a pro-life resolution calling on the NAACP to abandon its pro-abortion language and start educating the black community on the issue.

The NAACP now says it has no official policy on abortion, but the national resolution committee has rejected the resolution so the NAACP has never read it on the convention floor or discussed it. Childress said pro-lifers only want to discuss the resolution and present the facts: "It would be gross negligence not to address the issue."

At the NAACP picket, which took place the same day Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama addressed the gathering in Cincinnati, about 100 people passed out over 10,000 pieces of literature as documentary makers shot film footage. "We had women who were hurt, harmed by abortion-African-American women-there handing out pamphlets," said Childress. The pamphlets gave information on the statistics of abortion in the black community, the alleged racism of Planned Parenthood, and research on the possible link between abortion and breast cancer.

Childress said almost all the NAACP delegates took the information: "Most of them were very shocked at the information, surprised, especially when we invited them to please investigate what we said: 'Don't take our word for it.'"

Walter B. Hoye II, founder and president of Issues4Life, said he has talked to other African-American leaders who respond in the same way when they hear statistics like these: Black women account for 6 percent of the population, but 56 percent of abortions. "First there's denial," said Hoye. "Then there's stunned silence."

Hoye noted that of the five abortion clinics in Alameda, Calif., four are in the heart of Oakland's African-American neighborhoods. He estimated that blacks and Hispanics together account for 88 percent of abortions, and he said this is an opportunity for the NAACP to work with other minorities on reducing abortions.

The NAACP could help first by acknowledging that black abortion is a problem, argued Hoye. Then it could incorporate pro-life principles into the anti-poverty and education programs it already runs. Childress suggested a health forum highlighting the physical and psychological toll abortion takes.

Poverty and lack of education can't be the only cause of black abortion, Hoye pointed out, because blacks have always faced difficult times and have pulled their families together and taken care of their children. He blames a silence in the pulpit: "They're pregnant, they have a problem, and there's absolutely no one to talk to about it."

Hoye said when he does sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics, a woman ignores him on the way into the clinic but comes out crying afterwards: "She's not experiencing the freedom she thought she would." Childress said, "It's up to moral and religious people to go to the streets and to the public square and let the cause and purpose be known in that fashion-peacefully-which is what we did."

Antigua and Barbuda History

Antigua was first inhabited by the Siboney ("stone people"), whose settlements date at least to 2400 BC. The Siboney were succeeded by the Arawaks, who originated in Venezuela and gradually migrated up the chain of islands now called the Lesser Antilles. The warlike Carib people drove the Arawaks from neighboring islands but apparently did not settle on either Antigua or Barbuda.

Christopher Columbus landed on the islands in 1493, naming the larger one "Santa Maria de la Antigua." The English colonized the islands in 1632. Sir Christopher Codrington established the first large sugar estate in Antigua in 1674, and leased Barbuda to raise provisions for his plantations. Barbuda's only town is named after him. Codrington and others brought slaves from Africa's west coast to work the plantations.

Antiguan slaves were emancipated in 1834 but remained economically dependent on the plantation owners. Economic opportunities for the new freedmen were limited by a lack of surplus farming land, no access to credit, and an economy built on agriculture rather than manufacturing. Poor labor conditions persisted until 1939, when a member of a royal commission urged the formation of a trade union movement.

The Antigua Trades and Labor Union, formed shortly afterward, became the political vehicle for Vere Cornwall Bird, who became the union's president in 1943. The Antigua Labor Party (ALP), formed by Bird and other trade unionists, first ran candidates in the 1946 elections and became the majority party in 1951, beginning a long history of electoral victories.

Voted out of office in the 1971 general elections that swept the progressive labor movement into power, Bird and the ALP returned to office in 1976; the party won renewed mandates in the general elections in 1984 and 1989. In the 1989 elections, the ruling ALP won all but two of the 17 seats.

During elections in March 1994, power passed from Vere Bird to his son, Lester Bird, but remained within the Antigua Labor Party. The ALP won 11 of the 17 parliamentary seats. The official opposition in parliament is led by Baldwin Spencer of the United Progressive Party.

Internet spurs upswing in volunteerism
20 March 2008
by Wendy Koch

Youth volunteerism is surging as high school and college students use the Internet to mobilize quickly and nationally.

More than 22,000 non-profit groups have signed up to rally supporters on the teen-and-young-adult site MySpace since it began in 2004, says Jeff Berman, the site's executive vice president for marketing. He says more young people are engaged in activism online and their creativity in using the Internet to do good works is "off the charts."

Groups also have sprung up on Facebook, another social- networking site used by millions of students, to urge youth to fight global warming, help Hurricane Katrina victims, seek world peace or protest events such as charges brought against six black teens for beating a white classmate in Jena, La.

"Activism is at a very high level among college students, probably more than in the last 10 to 20 years," says Robert Rhoads, who teaches a class on the history of student activism at the University of California, Los Angeles. "There's a greater political consciousness among students," he says. "The Internet has played a role in that."

A growing number of college freshmen volunteer in their last year of high school, says John Pryor of the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA. He found in a survey that 83.3% did so last year, up from 66% in 1989. Some high schools make community service a graduation requirement, but 70% of those who volunteered were not required to do so.

Linda McMahon’s Official Statement On Running For Senate

Justin LaBar

The following was issued on

I have seen enough of America to know what our people are capable of achieving – the enterprises we can build, the jobs and opportunities we can create. Yet here we are, in the fourth year of a lifeless economy that last month didn't add a single new job for the millions who need one. Not a single job!

Washington tells us that 9% unemployment is the best this country can do for months or even years to come. Our own government works harder to lower our expectations than they do to find solutions.

I firmly believe that if we want different results in Washington we must stop electing the same type of people. That is why today, I will announce my candidacy for the United States Senate.

I am running again because I believe with all of my heart that the largest, richest economy can and will regain its strength and create jobs for every woman and man who wants to work – and with your help, I will go to Washington to fight each and every day for policies that will help hard working, tax paying families first.

I hope that you take a moment to connect with me on our website, Facebook and Twitter pages so you can follow my announcement today and interact with me as I seek to represent the people of Connecticut as I know them to be: direct and fair-minded … clear-thinking and unafraid to take a stand.

Time to get Connecticut working again!

The Curse of a Diagnosis

Is Early Detection Useful If a Disease Has No Cure? An Alzheimer's Dilemma

Malibu, Calif.

If you were in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, would you want to know?

That question will haunt a growing number of people and their families as scientists devise more ways to diagnose the degenerative brain disease before it causes severe symptoms, but still can't prevent or cure it.

If you were in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, would you want to know? Melinda Beck on Lunch Break explains why one 57-year-old California woman and her husband wish they had never learned. Photo: Michal Czerwonka for The Wall Street Journal.

Linda Dangaard underwent a spinal-tap test last year confirming suspicions of early Alzheimer's disease at age 56. Allowing his wife to be tested "was the biggest mistake of my life," says Colin Dangaard, age 70. Even though she is still functional and vibrant and works in the family's Malibu saddle-importing business, the diagnosis cost her her driver's license, many of her friends and much of her self esteem, her husband says. "Her golden years were ripped out from under her by a diagnosis that I think is cruel, because there's nothing anybody can do about it."

"It feels like a bomb has gone off in my life," says Mrs. Dangaard, who concedes that she sometimes gets confused and repeats herself. "I also ask myself, 'Why me?' I eat right. I exercise. No one else in my family has this."

Traditionally, the only way to confirm Alzheimer's was with an autopsy, when the disease's characteristic plaques and tangles are found in a patient's brain. Before that, doctors diagnose it on the basis of symptoms, once they rule out other explanations. But experts say the plaques and tangles start forming 10 to 20 years before symptoms appear.

New tests are emerging that can detect those early brain changes, and more are on the horizon. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration approved a radioactive dye, Amyvid, that makes brain plaque visible on a PET scan. It is expected to be available this summer.

The spinal-tap test that Mrs. Dangaard had measures changes in the cerebrospinal fluid associated with the brain plaques and tangles. It has been available for several years, but used mainly in research settings.

Neither test is covered by insurance or Medicare, and neither is definitive alone. Negative findings reduce the likelihood that cognitive impairment is due to Alzheimer's. But 20% to 30% of people over 65 have some plaques in the brain and many are cognitively normal. It is unclear if they will ever develop the disease.

Genetic tests can identify gene variations that raise the risk of Alzheimer's to varying degrees. One rare variation virtually guarantees that a carrier will develop Alzheimer's at an early age; their offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting it. Researchers are testing a drug that could potentially prevent Alzheimer's in a large Colombian clan that carries the gene variation. As in many research trials, family members won't be told who has it and who doesn't, since the knowledge can be devastating without effective treatments.

For patients already experiencing memory problems, the ethical issues are different, experts say. It pays to have a medical evaluation, since many treatable conditions can cause dementia-like symptoms. Once those are ruled out, neurologist John Ringman at the University of California, Los Angeles, says he typically asks patients with mild cognitive impairment if they want to know if it is likely to progress to Alzheimer's—even though the knowledge won't change their treatment. "Some people say, 'Doc, I want to know everything.' Other people say, 'If it isn't going to affect the treatment, I should just live my life.' "

Mrs. Dangaard's sister, Dawn Coffee, says it was Linda who first raised concerns about her tendency to repeat herself several years ago. Mrs. Coffee and their mother—all of whom work in the Dangaards' business—were concerned as well, so they encouraged her to investigate.

Her primary-care doctor found that she had a severe deficiency of vitamin B-12, which can mimic Alzheimer's. B-12 injections helped a little, but when her symptoms persisted, they consulted a neurologist, Paul Dudley. He conducted more tests, including two MRIs, which were inconclusive, and suggested they seek a more definitive diagnosis at UCLA. Still, Dr. Dudley found enough evidence of dementia that he notified state health authorities, as required by California law, triggering a review of her driver's license.

At UCLA, Mrs. Dangaard fared poorly on tests of memory and word recognition. But her age and the insight she displayed weren't typical of Alzheimer's, so Dr. Ringman suggested the spinal tap. "I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything," such as an infection or inflammation in the spinal fluid, he says. (Drs. Ringman and Dudley both had the Dangaards' permission to discuss her case.) The spinal tap found levels of beta amyloid protein and tau "consistent with Alzheimer's disease," he says. And given her scores on the cognitive tests, he adds, "it isn't what I'd call the early stages—she has significant dementia."

Mr. Dangaard disputes that his wife is significantly impaired and says the diagnosis has done more damage than the disease. "Sure, she can't do the complicated ordering that she used to do in our business, but there are lots of other things she does very well," he says.

Losing her driver's license has been particularly hard. "It is like house arrest in California," he says. Mrs. Dangaard attempted to win it back but failed the written test. Mr. Dangaard blames the stress of the situation and says she misses only one or two questions out of 220 when he quizzes her at home. "She can out-Sudoko me," he says.

Mrs. Dangaard jokes that while her short-term memory can be hazy, "I figure if I keep doing those tests over and over again, eventually they'll be in my long-term memory and I won't have a problem." Asked if she thinks she has Alzheimer's, Mrs. Dangaard says, "I guess my wiring is a little off. But knowing it is worse than having it."

Her husband says, "There's no way this diagnosis benefits people who have it. It just crushes your spirit."

Her sister has a different view. "I love my sister dearly. We've been best friends all our lives. But she's gotten worse and he's in denial," says Mrs. Coffee, who says that disagreements over Linda's condition have caused a rift in the family.

Experts in caring for Alzheimer's patients say it is typical for family members to disagree in such cases. It is also typical for people with Alzheimer's to remain highly functional in some areas of life and deteriorate in others. "Patients often work very hard to compensate for it, but there comes a point where they can't hide it anymore," says Lori Bliss, a care manager at Senior Concerns, a nonprofit organization that serves adults with special needs in nearby Thousand Oaks, Calif.

As devastating as it is, an early diagnosis can give families time to plan and let patients participate in financial, legal and health-care arrangements. The course of the disease is often unpredictable. Some people work and remain independent for years after a diagnosis. "Families should let people with Alzheimer's do as much as they can and be there as a safety net," says Norma Featherston, a senior care consultant at the Alzheimer's Association in Ventura County, Calif. Staying active and connected socially is vital to patients' well-being, particularly in the early stages, she adds.

That is one thing everyone agrees on in Linda Dangaard's case: "I just want her to live every day and be as happy as she can be," her husband says.

Frustrated Kingdom Sets Out to Assuage U.S. Worries on Extremists in Three-Year Conflict

Saudi Arabia has sidelined its veteran intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, as leader of the kingdom's efforts to arm and fund Syrian rebels, replacing him with another prince well-regarded by U.S. officials for his successes fighting al-Qaeda, Saudi royal advisers said this week.

The change holds promise for a return to smoother relations with the U.S., and may augur a stronger Saudi effort against militants aligned with al...

Errani & Vinci Into Final, Kirilenko & Petrova Too

Two of the most talented teams on the WTA will meet for the Sony Ericsson Open doubles title.

Published March 31, 2012 12:00

Errani & Vinci Into Final, Kirilenko & Petrova Too
Sara Errani, Roberta Vinci

MIAMI, FL, USA - Four of the most versatile players on the WTA will take Stadium court Sunday in the doubles final of the Sony Ericsson Open, after Russians Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova and Italians Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci won their semifinal matches at the Premier-level event Friday.

No.5 seeds Kirilenko and Petrova were the first team to advance, blasting six aces - five from Petrova - to defeat Vania King and Monica Niculescu, 63 64.

"It's great to be in the final of this tournament - last year I lost first round here in doubles, so I'm really happy to go this far now," Kirilenko commented. "It's great to play with Nadia. We're a good team. Hopefully this title will be ours."

Kirilenko and Petrova are 2-0 in finals together, winning Cincinnati in 2008 and Moscow in 2009 (Moscow was Premier-level). Kirilenko has 10 WTA doubles titles, Petrova 19 (including here in 2004 with Meghann Shaughnessy).

No.6 seeds Errani and Vinci followed them into the final at night, winning seven straight games from 5-3 down in the first set to build a 75 30 lead, then never really looking back to beat Argentines Gisela Dulko and Paola Suárez, 75 63.

"We're very happy to reach the final here," Vinci said after the match. "We had a great match tonight with Gisela and Paola - they played a very good match."

"It was a tough match - we didn't start so well, but we got better game by game," Errani said. "I hope we can play well again Sunday and hopefully win."

Errani and Vinci are 7-5 in finals together, winning Marbella and Barcelona in 2010, Hobart, Pattaya City and Palermo in 2011 and Monterrey and Acapulco earlier this year (all of those tournaments were International-level).

These two teams will be playing against each other for the first time.

Both teams have won all of their matches in straight sets to reach the final.

All four finalists aren't just ranked in the Top 20 in doubles (Kirilenko No.11, Errani No.14, Vinci No.15 and Petrova No.16) but they are also all ranked in the Top 35 in singles (Vinci No.20, Kirilenko No.22, Errani No.30, Petrova No.35).

Mother Arrested in Stabbing Deaths of Children

By: Associated Press
By: Associated Press

ATLANTA (AP) - Atlanta police arrested a 26-year-old Barrow County mother early Tuesday who is wanted in the stabbing deaths of her two children.

Police arrested Felicia Williams just after 1 am Tuesday at an apartment (in the 1200 block of Gault Street). Barrow County authorities had been looking for her since her children were found stabbed to death in the family's home in Bethlehem in northeast Georgia last Wednesday.

Police say they received an anonymous tip about 12:50 am Tuesday.
Police issued a statement saying the woman was found hiding in a
closet inside the apartment in southeast Atlanta.

Barrow County deputies traveled to Atlanta to take Williams to jail there.

The children, four-year-old James Ross Hill Junior and nine-year-old Elexis Hill, were buried yesterday. The children's grandmother made an appeal during the funeral for her daughter to turn herself in.

Williams is charged with murder in the children's deaths. She also is charged with aggravated assault in connection with an attack on her father.

A reward of three-thousand dollars had been offered to anyone who provided information leading to the arrest of Williams.

Florida Road Repairs Near Completion

By: AP
By: AP

FORT WALTON BEACH, FL - It's been a month since Hurricane Dennis damaged the Florida Panhandle's only major coastal highway -- U-S 98.

All four lanes between Fort Walton Beach and Destin have been reopened. A lane in each direction was restored only days after Dennis
struck on July tenth, but the other two lanes didn't reopen until now, after almost three million dollars in repairs.

Hurricane Ivan last year and Hurricane Opal in 1995 washed out
the same stretch through a beach area owned by Eglin Air Force Base
on the eastern end of Santa Rosa Island. The storms also flattened
dunes on the narrow barrier island.

State transportation officials say the plan to stabilize it before the next hurricane season, but an effort to restore the dunes is expected to be more complicated and take longer.

The Florida Department of Transportation may install a revetment
that would keep water from washing under the pavement. D-O-T plans
to seek federal money.

(AP) Former Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers is scheduled to
meet with officials from the Mississippi Secretary of State's
office Dec. 9 to discuss the recruitment of Auburn quarterback Cam

Rogers, who has worked with a sports agent, has said Newton's
father, Cecil, asked two Mississippi State coaches for up to

Just 12 days after democrat Mark Herring was sworn into office as Virginia's attorney General, he has set off a firestorm of controversy.

"We looked at the law and we looked at Supreme Court precedent and we concluded that the law is unconstitutional," said Herring.

"He has no authority to do this. He's attacking the Constitution of Virginia approved by the people of Virginia," said Republican Delegate Bob Marshall who sponsored the bill that asked voters to approve the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, which they did. As a state senator, Herring voted for it.

"That was eight years and very shortly after that I saw how it hurt a lot of people," said Herring. He has filed a brief joining two same sex couples in Norfolk asking a federal court to strike it down.

Herring said his decision is based on recent Supreme Court cases protecting the right to marry, but also striking down laws that treat same sex couples as same sex couples.

He says the new court rulings have convinced him that the Supreme Court would strike down Virginia's law.

Bob Marshall says it is wrong for Herring to make conclude how the Supreme Court would rule. "Where the hell does Mark Herring come off saying you have no argument here. I' mean that's arrogant."

Marshall and other Republicans lawmakers say Herring is violating his oath of office by not upholding state law, especially one that voters approved.

But Herring points to past mistakes, Virginia's fight against desegregating our schools, against interracial marriage and against same-sex schools. This time, Herring says he wants Virginia to be on the right side of history.

"A State law in a state constitutional cannot violate the United State Constitution. I'm obligated to follow the law and that's what I've done," says Herring.

Voters approved Virginia's Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage in 2006 with 57 percent voter approval. Many studies show a reversal of that sentiment.

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine made the following statement after Attorney General Mark Herring's announcement:

"I applaud Attorney General Herring for taking an important step to challenge Virginia's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage today. As Governor, I opposed this discriminatory amendment and agree it's time for Virginia to be on the right side of history with respect to marriage rights."

Baseball: WVU Completes Back-to-Back Sweeps

by Elizabeth Brandt for
March 27, 2007

Rifle: Zublasing Named Academic All-America

By Shannon McNamara for WVUsports.com
June 07, 2012 11:58 AM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University rising senior Petra Zublasing, the 2012 NCAA air rifle champion, has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America Women’s At-Large Second Team today, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

A native of Appiano, Italy, Zublasing, an all-district II at-large women’s first team honoree, is honored following a stellar junior year that not only saw her win a national championship but also earn National Rifle Association smallbore and air rifle first team All-America honors.

“This is a great honor for Petra,” says Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond. “The team has consistently placed at least one student-athlete on an academic All-America team over the last few years, and I’m happy Petra was able to continue that streak. Hopefully next year she can advance and earn first team recognition.”

Zublasing owns a 3.85 grade point average in civil engineering. She is the second Mountaineer shooter in three seasons named to the second team, as Andy Lamson scored the honor in 2010 and 2011. Additionally, Nicco Campriani, the 2011 NCAA air rifle champion, was named to the first team last year.

The 2012 Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) Shooter of the Year, Zublasing won the conference air rifle and combined score titles at the GARC Championships. She led the Mountaineers in both disciplines with air rifle and smallbore season averages of 596.2 and 586.8, respectively. Additionally, Zublasing shot a school-record 600 air rifle in a win over Army on Oct. 22, becoming the first female NCAA shooter to earn the perfect score.

A two-time member of the College Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) All-Academic Team and a two-time Dean’s List honoree, Zublasing is currently training with the Italian National Team in preparation for the 2012 London Summer Olympics.

Women’s Soccer Captures First Big 12 Title

By Tim Goodenow for WVUsports.com
October 19, 2012 10:41 PM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 19 West Virginia women’s soccer team won the school’s first Big 12 Conference title, capturing the regular season crown Friday evening.

The Mountaineers entered the day with 19 points with one match remaining at Texas, the Conference’s second-place team. The Longhorns fell this evening at Baylor, 2-1 in double overtime, to secure WVU a point total that cannot be equaled.

By clinching the regular season championship, West Virginia has assured itself of the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 Soccer Championship in San Antonio, Texas.

West Virginia, 6-0-1 in Big 12 play and 10-3-4 overall, closes out the regular season at Texas on Oct. 26.

Scoot: Have Baby Boomers forgotten how wild they were?

Baby Boomers are now the Establishment, achieving a status never envisioned by the generation that was known as “anti-Establishment!” And looking back on how wild and rebellious our generation was – we should feel fortunate that so many of us made it to this point!
As a self-described “hostile witness to the Baby Boomer generation,” I often write about the hypocrisy and selective memory that is so prevalent today. When I talk about issues involving today’s young generation like the content of their music, the challenging fashion trends, and behavior that is deemed "anti-social," I am quickly reminded about what I witnessed with my generation.
If young people, today, were part of a rock music festival where widespread drug use and total nudity were flaunted and I talked about it on “The Scoot Show” on WWL, I would hear from callers denouncing the young people who were part of a music festival that blatantly included such debauchery. And yet, many of those who would be complaining would be part of the anti-Establishment generation that exhibited the exact behavior they would be condemning.
The anti-social behavior of the young generation at Woodstock in 1969 is well-documented, and included drugs, drinking, nudity and even sex in public view. But the wild behavior of that young generation, which is now the Establishment, was close to home during the “Celebration of Life” music festival on the banks of the Atchafalaya River in Pointe Coupee Parish in 1971.
The scheduled 8-day music festival was shut down after 4 days. With temperatures in the 90's, a shortage of basic survival necessities, and behavior considered by law enforcement to be dangerous, the festival came to an early end. But it was actually shut down following a $700,000 Internal Revenue Service tax lien placed against the festival promoters, which prevented the festival from doing any business, including purchasing water for the hot, parched concert-goers.
To survive the scorching heat, many teenagers took off all of their clothes and frolicked in the Atchafalaya River and in the mud along the river’s banks. The heat may have been only one reason for the “freedom from clothes,” because this was a young generation that promoted freedom in every way possible. Young people naked in the river and covering themselves with mud became a public spectacle, with locals cruising the river in their boats to get a close up look at the nudity. A few seaplanes landed on the river, and there is a photo of an airline flying very low over the river, giving anyone on board a clear view of what this young generation naked in the river! Flight regulations for the airlines were a lot looser in 1971!
The governor of Louisiana, Governor John McKeithen, a Democrat, promised the citizens of Pointe Coupee Parish that he would personally throw out any “long-haired, dope-group anarchists” who attempted to put on a festival. Governor McKeithen represented the attitude of the Establishment about a young generation than many believed was completely “out-of-control.”
Contempt for a young generation that was part of the “Celebration of Life” festival, Woodstock or any of the events that attracted a young crowd in the late-60s and early-70s is no different from the contempt that young generation – now the Establishment – has for today’s young generation and the music, fashion, drug use, drinking and behavior that challenges what is considered socially acceptable now.
Beyond the hypocrisy and selective memory of the Baby Boomer generation, there should be the honest acknowledgement what we were really like as the original anti-Establishment generation.
The Baby Boomer generation proudly invented the phrase “sex, drugs and rock n roll!” and boldly lived accordingly.  But this is the same generation that as the new Establishment has condemned today’s young generation for its sexuality, drug use and rebellious music.
It is acceptable and expected for the Establishment in any era to set positive examples and teach younger generations from their mistakes, but the Baby Boomer Establishment’s condemnation of younger generations lacks any real admission of wrongdoing – and that is hypocritical.
The music that represented the young Baby Boomers was rebellions and filled with controversial lyrics, both sexually and politically. Fashion trends challenged the norms of “good taste” and sometimes even the law. And drug use and drinking were no different from what goes on at concerts today.  It was reported by a journalist for Rolling Stone magazine that there were areas at the “Celebration of Life” named Cocaine Row and Smack Street where 30 different mind-altering drugs were available for sale – only two of which could be smoked.  Plastic syringes were sold at $1 each.
One of the obvious differences today, is that guns are a problem, and that was never a concern in large crowds in the past. But other than guns, Baby Boomers forget how much they challenged society - and the law.
If you are a member of the Baby Boomer generation, challenge yourself to be honest about the wild, anti-social behavior from your youth, and don’t condemn today’s young generation as if they are the first to rebel against the Establishment!
Many of those who were part of the drinking, drugs and nudity of the “Celebration of Life” are responsible businessmen and women. The lesson all this is that we think we became a responsible generation – and so will they!
Were you at the “Celebration of Life” or some other music festival where young people exhibited wild behavior?
What do you admit about your younger years?  Give us your comments!

I was at the celebration of life, the stage was damaged in a storm the night before music was to start. They had insane fireworks shows every night till the stage was repaired and the music started. It was very hot and the river and mud holes were the only relief. It seemed like the dirt took forever to come off when I got home and took a much needed shower. My favorite memory was when beautiful day played White bird as the sun was coming up. Wow

Thanks Scoot. I would like to applaud you for your reminder. I frequently comment to those around me about how quickly my generation seems to forget. I didn't do drugs, but I'm an ugly duckling and got picked up by girls for sex as soon as you met. The micro-mini skirt was very prevalent, and I attended a weekend Joe Cocker concert in GY "anything goes" was the rule.

Scooter still behaves like a clown ... struggling to hang onto his deviant youth.
... he is human debris.

He's back!
Mr. Nasty is alive and well.

"Saints' Kromer downplays his impending promotion"

President Obama says he's been a pretty good President and if he were allowed to run for a 3rd term, he'd probably win. Agree or wishful thinking?

jennylogo.jpgJennie Garth is taking a stand against abused circus animals! The 90210 actress has written a heartfelt letter on behalf of PETA to marketing firm and website Mom Central...asking them not to support and promote Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

PETA has sent Stacy DeBroff, Mom Central's CEO, photographs and undercover video footage of Ringling trainers as they beat and whipped elephants. But Mom Central continues to offer discounted circus tickets to various parenting blogs. Now Jennie has thrown her star power into the ring!

X17online exclusively has obtained Jennie's letter in which she writes:

    "As the mother of three daughters, I appreciate resources like Mom Central that help working moms deal with the everyday experiences of parenthood. Since so many mothers turn to your Web site for guidance, I urge you to reevaluate your current partnership with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Please consider the animal abuse and family separation that you are actually endorsing by recommending this cruel show to your readers. In their natural habitat, mother and daughter elephants rarely leave each other's side. I implore you to consider the helpless animals who are forced to surrender their children to a lifetime of isolation and pain."

You can read Jennie's entire letter after the jump...
