Back in 2006, at the age of 24, Ken Sutha received his living donor kidney transplant at Emory. His donor was none other than his own father. Four years later, not only has Ken made remarkable strides in his overall health, but even more amazing, he has gone from a non-athlete to a world class swimmer.
Ken practices each day after class at Georgia Tech, where he's a student in the Emory and Georgia Tech MD/PhD program. Recently, his practice paid off in a big way. Back in August, Ken returned home from Madison, Wisconsin where he was a participant in the 2010 National Kidney Foundation (NKF) U.S. Transplant Games.
Representing Team Georgia, Ken competed in the 100-yard medley, 50-yard butterly, 100-yard backstroke, and 500-yard freestyle events. A tremendous feat for someone who underwent a life changing transplant. What's even more impressive? Ken left the NKF U.S. Transplant Games with two gold medals and one silver medal. However, it was not the medals, but the experience, that left a lasting impression on Ken.
"My favorite part of the Games was meeting other recipients, living donors, and donor families," Ken notes. "One of our Emory recipients, Sherrell Gay, celebrated her eighth anniversary of her heart transplant at the closing ceremony on Tues., Aug. 3," he continues. "She competed in table tennis this year."
Ken is a shining example that those who undergo solid organ transplants are able to return to a normal high-quality life, and often, can achieve a level of health they never reached prior to transplant. In addition to swimming, Ken competes in sprint triathlons to stay in shape. His last sprint was at the Rock 'N Rollman Triathlon in June in Macon, GA. We will continue to keep you posted on Ken's remarkable achievements.
Or, if you're interested in learning more about the games or kidney transplant from Ken, please leave your questions in the comments below. Ken will be responding to any questions you have for him!

How To Clean Your Bath Tub
There is nothing like a long, leisurely soak in a luxurious hot bath to soothe away the stresses of the day—that is, unless your dirty tub is one of the things that you're stressed about!
Bathtubs seem to be magnets for soap scum, mildew, and grime, not to mention stubborn stains. We all know that a dirty or stained tub makes the whole bathroom feel grungy. Luckily, with just a few simple household ingredients and the following helpful hints, you can keep any tub sparkling clean:
• Diligence is the key. After bathing, rinse the tub with clean, warm water and wipe off excess moisture with a squeegee, microfiber cloth, or soft sponge.
• For a deeper clean, pull out the green-cleaning standby, white vinegar. Fill a spray bottle with a half-and-half solution of vinegar and warm water. Spray the tub surface, let stand for 15 minutes, then wipe with a microfiber cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and wipe again.
• For heavier dirt or mild stains, sprinkle the tub with baking soda and spray on the vinegar-and-water solution. Let the mixture bubble for several minutes, then scrub with a soft cloth or sponge until a paste forms. Let the paste sit for 15 minutes, then wipe and rinse. If you have hard water stains, dip paper towels in full-strength white vinegar and put the soaked paper towels on the stains. Let stand for one to two hours, then scrub with the baking soda and vinegar paste before rinsing clean.
• Rust stains can be treated with a paste of borax powder and lemon juice. Sprinkle the stains with borax and use the cut half of a lemon to rub the stain until a paste forms. Let the paste stand for 15 to 30 minutes, then wipe and rinse.• To remove tougher stains, make a paste of one part hydrogen peroxide to two parts baking soda (or cream of tartar). Rub the paste on the stain and let stand for 30 minutes to one hour, then wipe and rinse. If necessary, repeat until the stain is gone.
There are a wide variety of commercial cleansers available to clean bathtubs. Some of the more popular ones include Scrubbing Bubbles, OxiClean, Clorox Clean-Up and Clorex OxiMagic. Commercial stain removers include Lime-A-Way and CLR Cleaner. Read and follow the manufacturer's directions.
Some additional things to keep in mind:
1.Avoid using steel wool or extremely abrasive brushes and scouring powders, as these products will scratch the surface.
2.Never mix cleaning products! Certain combinations of chemicals—chlorine bleach and ammonia, for example—can create toxic fumes or burn your skin.
3.When using chemicals, always make sure the area is well-ventilated. Protect your skin by wearing rubber gloves.
Hydrogen peroxide and bleach will discolor fabrics, so be sure to wear old clothes when using any products containing these chemicals.
4.Wipe and rinse away cleaning products to make sure that they do not leave any residue in the tub.
5.Again, taking a proactive approach—rinsing and wiping down the tub after bathing—is the best way to prevent dirt, grime, soap scum and stains from ruining your otherwise relaxing soak.

we have been their about 5 days, hotel is good, location is also. we have stayed at room 329 But on the territory of hotel there are many cats, may be for somebody it s not the problem, but i think administration of the hotel should take in to consider that some guests may have allergy or phobia. Our friends wanted to stay in samui laguna resort but due to the presence of cats they decided to go to another place. After our appeal to the administration they have removed some cats. Regarding the hotel staff, everything is ok. Very pleasant people, smiling, especially Ms Zai. If you want to take massage, we recommend it directly on the beach on the territory of hotel, the price is good.

Nice location. 2 minutes of walk from the center of Lamai night life. Territory of hotel is green and looks nice. Bungallows are not brand new but well maintained. Felt myself as if I was in the country house. Pretty calm, green and relaxing atmosphere. Restaraunt is OK, breakfast is sufficient. Sea and beach is good. The only recommedation for management is to fix broken sun beds that the one may find on the beach.

According to the read reviews on the Internet we were surprised that the room booked by us was much better than we had expected. The standard for this price range is good. Breakfast sideboard was good for the standard of this hotel. The beach was cleaned every day. There could be some more available and some are not any more in the best condition. Also at the Swimmingpool. There is a German and English eloquent employee at the Reception named Katja. She cares immediately if something is queried and shall be changed. Also she has recommended us a boat excursion which one was really good and beautiful. Many thanks to Katja. The situation of the hotel is also very good. Run only about 500 metres till one is in the centre of the Lamai Beach and many possibilities of going out to eat or more? We only can recommend the hotel

Place the orange juice and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, bring to a boil, cover and turn off the flame. Allow the couscous to sit and steam for about 5 minutes with the cover on.
Place the garbanzo beans, pine nuts, apricots, blueberries or cranberries, cucumber, scallion and red radish in a mixing bowl. Combine the vinegar, oil, lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice and mint in a jar. Cover and shake to mix.
When the couscous is done, fluff to cool and place in the mixing bowl with the garbanzo beans and vegetables. Pour the dressing over and toss to evenly mix. Place in a serving bowl.
NOTE: Eden Quinoa can be substituted for couscous, but the cooking time will be increased. When the juice comes to a boil, add the quinoa and salt. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer on low for 12 minutes. When done, toss to cool and fluff. Combine with all other ingredients and dressing as directed in the recipe. If Eden dried fruit is not available, organic currants or raisins can be substituted.

A reverse mortgage allows you to draw from the value in your home without having to sell it.
You live in a home that you've watched increase in value for years. You find it difficult keeping up with bills and healthcare expenses. You're faced with a dilemma: sell the house—your home, which really doesn't have a price tag—or continue to live in it and watch your financial burden increase. Now imagine this dilemma resolved.
"My house has been my home for most of my life. I can't leave, but I can't afford to stay."
Enter The Reverse Mortgage
A Reverse Mortgage loan allows you to draw on a portion of the value in your home without having to sell it and may allow you to receive monthly cash flow payments. The loan is repaid when you sell your home, the last borrower passes away, or you no longer live there as the principal residence. There are some circumstances that will cause the loan to mature and the balance to become due and payable. The borrower is still responsible for paying property taxes, insurance and maintenance of home. Credit is subject to age, minimum income guidelines, credit history, and property qualifications. Program rates, fees, terms, and conditions are not available in all states and are subject to change.
You can use the loan proceed payments as you wish*: to enhance and extend your retirement, make home improvements, pay bills, etc. It's all up to you.

The internet has been buzzing the last few days over a new strain of malware dubbed 'Flame' (alternatively called 'SkyWiper' by some security experts) that has been found on hundreds of PCs in the middle east, primarily in Iran. While the eventual scope of the Flame attack is still a bit unclear, many security researchers who have analyzed the malware believe that it is connected -- or possibly produced -- by the creators of the Stuxnet and Duqu malware variants.
It's important to note that only a few hundred machines have been affected by the malware, but the complexity and the targeted nature of Flame have led many experts to believe that is yet another example of state-developed cyber-warfare. In a blog post on the Kaspersky Lab Securelist website, security researcher Alexander Gostev explains the similarities between Flame, Stuxnet, and Duqu:
"Flame shares many characteristics with notorious cyber weapons Duqu and Stuxnet: while its features are different, the geography and careful targeting of attacks coupled with the usage of specific software vulnerabilities seems to put it alongside those familiar 'super-weapons' currently deployed in the Middle East by unknown perpetrators. Flame can easily be described as one of the most complex threats ever discovered. It's big and incredibly sophisticated. It pretty much redefines the notion of cyber-warfare and cyber-espionage."
Gostev has also posted a more detailed analysis of the Flame malware and how to defend PCs against it, but it's not clear if Flame poses a threat to PCs outside of the existing regions where the malware has been found.
A visual depicting where Flame infections have been found (as of late May 2012) Source: Kaspersky Lab.
I've written about Stuxnet and Duqu in the past, and Flame seems to indicate that cyberwarfare and cyber-espionage conducted between nation-states is an increasingly common occurrence. Microsoft Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich has written about this bleak future in his novel Zero Day, and it's clear now that what was once thought of science fiction is quickly becoming a reality.
So what do you think about the progression we've seen from Stuxnet, Duqu, and Flame? Share your thoughts by adding a comment to this blog post or contributing to the discussion on Twitter.

So, what does the essential health benefits announcement mean for people with HIV? The short answer is that we're working on it. Here are some of the hoops we'll have to jump through just to figure out what the benefits might look like in a state.
Which plans are we talking about? HHS gives states the choice of:
(1) the largest plan by enrollment in any of the three largest small group insurance products in the State's small group market;
(2) any of the largest three State employee health benefit plans by enrollment;
(3) any of the largest three national FEHBP [Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan] plan options by enrollment; or
(4) the largest insured commercial non-Medicaid Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) operating in the State.
Yeah, we weren't sure where to start either. There's no centralized federal repository of health plan data, since states regulate health insurance. Every state publishes plan information online differently, or not at all. We'll probably have to submit a special data request to each of the 50 state insurance departments.
What benefits does each plan offer? Once advocates identify the largest plans, the next step is to determine exactly what benefits they offer. You can bet that Blue Cross doesn't publish on their website a description of each of their hundreds of plans offered in a state. We'll might have to ask companies directly for plan descriptions, or pour through regulatory filings at state insurance departments.
Once we have this information, we can start to figure out what the plans will look like for people with HIV. Of course, we'll partner with national and state advocates to gather and analyze information. At the state level, it's more essential than ever that advocates work together to figure out the benefit puzzle and don't duplicate effort.
And here's an idea: Could advocates, employers and insurance companies collaborate to gather all this information? Sure, old adversaries would have to sit at the same conference table to share opinions and information – but that might be just "what the doctor ordered" in the new world of health care.

AUSTIN — Although Texas' first-year offensive play-caller already has proven himself against Oklahoma, the Longhorns' new defensive coordinator will be facing the Sooners for the first time Saturday. As usual, Manny Diaz wasn't at a loss for words when talking about the challenge his young unit faces against one of the most prolific attacks in the country.
Last year at Mississippi State, Diaz's Bulldogs fared well against spread offenses. They held eventual BCS champion Auburn and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton to 17 points, and beat Florida 10-7. Last spring, when former Gators coach Urban Meyer watched one of UT's first practices under Diaz, Meyer told Mack Brown an aggressive blitz Diaz had called wouldn't work in the fall.
Told of Meyer's comment Monday, Diaz quipped, "Urban saw it last October."
Whether Diaz will retain that sense of humor after leaving the Cotton Bowl on Saturday is yet to be determined, but he was on a roll as he prepared for the Sooners. Among his more compelling comments were:
"There's not a quarterback that you don't want to confuse." — Diaz said that just because OU quarterback Landry Jones is experienced doesn't mean the Longhorns won't try to get into his head. He admitted it's more difficult than with a younger passer, but not impossible.
"A steady diet of anything is usually a bad thing." — Diaz has a playbook full of exotic blitzes, and he'll use plenty of them against the Sooners. The key, he said, is constantly showing Jones something different.
"Nobody likes pain. … But it's usually easier said than done inflicting it." — As usual, Diaz wants to establish a pass rush that puts Jones on the ground as often as possible. The Longhorns had only two sacks in their first three games, but notched three last week against Iowa State.
"If you spend a lot of time chasing (Ryan Broyles) around, you'll get murdered by the other guys." — As good as OU's standout wide receiver is, the Sooners have plenty of other options. The Longhorns probably won't dedicate one cornerback to covering him, because they see covering Jaz Reynolds, Kenny Stills and recently reinstated Trey Franks as just as important.
"We don't want to have a lot of pre-snap mathematics. That will be put to the test." — Diaz's system is based on calls that are quick to make, quick to hear and quick to implement. With OU's ultra-fast tempo, there is little time to make complicated adjustment between plays. Because UT has several young players on its defense, simply getting lined up might be one of its biggest priorities.
"They will try to make you chase ghosts. They are trying to put your sideline in a panic." — OU has so many offensive weapons that defenses occasionally get blinded by them and lose sight of their objective. Diaz said he knows that will happen occasionally on Saturday. His goal is to make sure his players aren't spooked for long.

China's trade surplus gained in December compared with the previous month, indicating that the world's second-largest economy's growth is on the upswing.
According to data released Thursday by the National Bureau of Statistics, China's trade surplus rose to $31.6 billion in December, compared with $19.6 billion in November and far above analysts' average forecast of $19.7 billion. China's exports rose 14.1 percent in December, up from a 2.9 percent increase in November.
The increase comes after last week's report that China's manufacturing activity expanded in December for the third month in a row. The data, released Tuesday by the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing, showed that the Purchasing Managers' Index remained unchanged, at 50.6 in December, from the previous month. Significantly, the index remained in the expansion zone, with its reading above 50. The expansion of the manufacturing activity should allay fears of a sharp retardation of the Chinese economy.
Moreover, China's industrial production rose in November compared with October, indicating an upswing in manufacturing output. The National Bureau of Statistics' data showed that industrial production, which measures the change in the total inflation-adjusted value of output produced by manufacturers, mines and utilities, rose 10.1 percent in November, up from 9.6 percent in October, exceeding analysts' average forecast of 9.8 percent.
But analysts are not completely optimistic about the revival of China's growth as global economic conditions continue to be weak amid the debt crisis in the euro zone. Gross domestic product growth slowed to 7.4 percent in the third quarter, down from 7.6 percent in the second quarter, due to soft global demand and reduced domestic real estate investment.
Meanwhile, it was reported last month that the rate of inflation in China accelerated in November compared with the same period last year. The National Bureau of Statistics said the consumer price index rose 2 percent in November from a year earlier, up from 1.7 percent in October.
Market participants hope Chinese policymakers will soon announce monetary easing measures to stimulate the economy and increase industrial activity.

Former Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts officially announced Friday he has formed an exploratory committee for a bid in New Hampshire's U.S. Senate race this year.
However, the Republican did not officially say he will run against the state's Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, NECN reported.
Brown blasted Obamacare Friday, and also talked about what his party needs to be doing to move forward.
U.S. & World
Brown said he is looking forward to meeting people in New Hampshire as he starts traveling around the state starting Saturday.
"Obviously I have to do some listening and learning and find out from everybody what their concerns are and make sure I have a full understanding of the challenges, and then I'll make a further decision down the road," Brown told reporters after the speech.
There are already other Republicans in the U.S. Senate race, but analysts agree that Brown would immediately be the frontrunner if he officially ran against Shaheen.
Democrats in the Granite State have been preparing for months now for Brown's announcement.
Earlier Friday, Fox News cut its ties with Brown when he notified them of his intentions.

Bullpen leaks stain Floyd's effort in third straight loss
Starter allows one run over six innings; Dunn snaps 0-for-31 streak
CHICAGO -- Through 17 less-than-perfect White Sox games this season, the team's bullpen stood as its one immovable force.
This current seven-man relief crew posted a 1.63 ERA and .177 opponents' average against entering Sunday's series finale against the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field, which stood as No. 1 in the American League for both categories.
But even the South Siders' steadiest of contributors to date wilted in Minnesota's 5-3 victory.
Staked to a 2-1 lead entering the seventh, the trio of Matt Lindstrom, Donnie Veal and Jesse Crain allowed four runs in the frame in helping the Twins (8-7) to a sweep of the abbreviated two-game series. The White Sox (7-11) have lost three straight and nine of their last 12 games, falling to 1-3 in two-run games after the bullpen's rare shortcomings.
"I hope so," said Lindstrom, when asked if the three runs he was charged with in two-thirds of an inning were just a rare mishap. "It probably wasn't the right day to do that, have a blip."
"I'm not worried about the bullpen," White Sox right fielder Alex Rios said. "We have a pretty strong bullpen and they've been doing what they have to do. They've been coming in aggressively and getting guys out. Of course they are not going to do that every day."
The free pass hurt Lindstrom and Veal, with Lindstrom (1-1) walking Trevor Plouffe to open the seventh and Veal walking Joe Mauer on four pitches to load the bases with two outs after an Aaron Hicks' single off Lindstrom tied the game. Veal faced two batters over the two games against the Twins, and the southpaw walked both of them.
"Any time you walk the leadoff guy, you are asking for trouble," said Lindstrom, adding that his ball had extra sink Sunday and was hard to control.
"It's just one of those where every guy has a walk or you give them that opportunity, give them that little life by putting that guy on," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of his bullpen's wild streak. "It's one of those where they usually come through."
Crain was brought in to face the right-handed-hitting Josh Willingham after the Veal free pass, and Willingham drove a first-pitch slider to the right-center-field wall for a bases-clearing double.
Sixteen Twins hitters went to the plate over the first five innings. They sent 15 men to the plate over the sixth and seventh, when they scored all five of their runs.
While the bullpen faltered on this occasion, the White Sox offense continued to provide the pitchers with very little room to work. They scored two runs off Twins starter Scott Diamond (1-1) over six innings, and got help from the Minnesota defense on both occasions.
Alejandro De Aza reached to open the fourth on a double that Willingham misplayed in left and then had hit off his glove. De Aza alertly moved to third on a Diamond wild pitch and came home on Jeff Keppinger's groundout.
De Aza got things going in the sixth inning of a 1-1 tie by reaching on a bunt single back to the mound and then racing all the way to third on Diamond's wild throw over the head of second baseman Jamey Carroll covering first. Keppinger's sacrifice fly scored De Aza.
Adam Dunn accounted for the third run with a solo shot to straightaway center leading off the seventh. Dunn connected on a 1-2 pitch from Josh Roenicke and broke a career-worst 0-for-31 funk in the process. Dunn has seven hits this season, of which three are homers, and is 7-for-65 overall.
That 402-foot blast from Dunn was the last White Sox hitter to reach base. Roenicke, Jared Burton and Glen Perkins (fifth save) set down the last nine, striking out five.
"You don't want to keep losing games like this, but we are not worried," Rios said. "We are a talented team and we're going to be able to compete in this division and in all the divisions. I believe that we just have to put a few good at-bats together and we'll be fine. We'll get out of this."
"If this was August and we had a lead on these guys, I'd love it," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire of the shortened sweep. "But it's early. It's only two games. We've seen a lot of things happen at this ballpark. We've had some success, but we've also been whacked here pretty good."
After losing his first three starts of 2013, Gavin Floyd allowed one run on three hits over six innings and didn't allow a hit until Willingham's one-out single in the fourth. He walked three and fanned six, pitching out of a based-loaded, one-out jam in the sixth, with just one run scoring on Justin Morneau's bases-loaded walk with two outs.
Floyd became the second straight hard-luck White Sox starting pitcher with a quality start and a no-decision, as the bullpen joined the offense's struggles in this 18-game season-opening rut.
"These guys are human. It's going to happen on occasion," Ventura said. "It's unfortunate. It's one of those where you go through a rut and you're just trying to get out of it. You've just got to keep your nose buried in it and stay strong."
"Ultimately, you want to win as a team," said Floyd, who threw 96 pitches. "It's a bittersweet thing. You're happy that you threw well, but unhappy that we lost."

According to a 63-year-old woman who drove her Ford Taurus into a Connecticut liquor store Friday afternoon a combination of Armor-all and Nyquil are to blame for the incident.
Sharon Brooks of Easthaven, CT was charged with Reckless Driving and Driving Under the Influence after she drove her car " halfway into the store, striking the counter, crushing displays of wine and injuring an employee inside" on Friday Afternoon. According to MSNBC.com, the employees injuries were relatively minor.
Brooks said the whole incident was to blame on a clean car and a stuffy nose. The woman told NBC Connecticut she had a cold. She admitted to having taken Nyquil and explained "somebody cleaned the inside of my car and they put Armor All on my brake pad and my foot slipped off the brake pad."
The woman didn't comment on what her plans were if she had made it to the liquor store without driving through it but the owner of the damaged store identified Brooks as a regular customer.

The sign held by the man near the playground in Lincoln Park stood out even among the day's wide variety of slogans, posters, T-shirts and banners: "Montanans for Kindness," read his folded-out pizza box (extra large, I'd guess) in bright Crayon colors.
Turns out this Montanan had been standing there for something like two hours, cheering on the thousands and thousands of people from across the country who were crossing the park. For about another hour I stood there with him, chatting a bit, but mostly watching the passing parade of people marching from the immigration reform rally on the National Mall to RFK Stadium, where their buses waited to take them home.
Participants were of all ages, but a majority were probably under 35. Nuns and priests, ministers and rabbis walked with their people. Many, many families pushed strollers. A handful pushed wheelchairs. Some people stopped to rest for a few minutes on the park benches. Families paused to let the kids climb around on the playground equipment for a bit.
They carried American flags and flags from their home countries. Here and there, someone using a five-gallon bucket as a drum would keep a rhythm for chants of "Si, se puede," or "Yes, we can." People sitting outside homes they passed on East Capitol Street would wave and join in the cheering. Some raised their wine glasses in a toast. The mood was optimistic and upbeat.
The walkers passed unknowingly through this park named for Abraham Lincoln, with its memorial to the Emancipation Proclamation. Most walked past the giant statue of civil rights leader and educator Mary McLeod Bethune without realizing the parallels between her work and their goals.
"Mr. Montana," a community organizer, explained that he'd encountered the immigration marchers as he returned from participating in a rally at the Capitol in support of the health care reform bill. As he headed to where he was staying near Lincoln Park, people from the immigration rally had started to walk toward the stadium, about three miles from the Mall.
"I thought, 'This isn't very many people,'" he said, and decided to go back out and cheer them on. Turns out that at 3:30 he'd only seen the leading edge of people from the immigration event. The majority didn't even start walking from the Mall until 5 p.m., by which time tens of thousands had already set out, making their way through this historic park and past the Montanan with his cheery pizza box sign.
People who noticed the "Montanans for Kindness" sign smiled, waved, thanked him for his sign and his support. He grinned and waved, and echoed every chorus of "Si, se puede."
In the third hour of the procession, with no end in sight of the swarms of people coming up over the hill, he grinned some more. "This has made my day, my week, my decade," he said. "This is great."

UNC junior will not return to Chapel Hill for senior season
Reggie Bullock is going pro.
News broke late Monday night and UNC made it official on Tuesday that the Kinston native will forego his senior season with the Tar Heels and enter his name into this year�s NBA draft.
Bullock, a 2010 graduate of Kinston High School, will become the sixth Kinston native to play basketball at its highest level, joining Cedric Maxwell, Mitchell Wiggins, Charles Shackelford, Tony Dawson and Jerry Stackhouse.
�It�s been a great experience at Carolina and after talking to my family, the coaches and my inner circle of friends, I am ready to take the next step in my career. I want to play at the next level and will put my name in the NBA Draft this year,� Bullock said in a statement released by the university on Tuesday. �I want to thank all of my coaches, teammates and the Carolina fans for their support these past three years.
�We did some great things that have prepared me to play in the NBA. I know the Tar Heels will have a great year next season.�
Bullock, a 6-foot-7 swingman, averaged 13.9 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 44 percent on 3-pointers last season as a junior, and helped lead the Tar Heels to the ACC tournament championship game and to the third round of the NCAA tournament.
After graduating from Kinston in 2010 as its most heralded basketball player to graduate in its history � Stackhouse left Kinston following his junior prep season to attend Oak Hill Academy in Virginia � Bullock was hampered by a nagging knee injury as a freshman and surgery ended his season prematurely.
Bullock fought back as a sophomore and returned to help the Tar Heels reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament. He led them in single-game scoring once that season (he also tied a game-high of 15 points with teammate Harrison Barnes on one other occasion) and had a team-high seven rebounds in an 80-67 loss to Kansas in their final game.
This season, the former McDonald�s All-American and N.C. high school Gatorade Player of the Year finished third on the team in scoring average and was second in rebounding in his final season in a UNC uniform.
In his 100 games as a Tar Heel, Bullock, who earned second-team All-ACC honors from both the media and the coaches this season, had a career average of 9.9 points per game. His 88 made 3-pointers this season are third-most in a single season in UNC history and his 188 careers 3s are good enough for eighth all-time.
�Reggie is such an outstanding young man and a talented basketball player. He was our most consistent player this season, was productive on both ends of the floor and gave us great leadership,� Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams said in the statement. �Our hope is that his decision will work out in a very positive manner for Reggie. He has big dreams and we will help him and support him in his efforts to reach those dreams.
�I�ll always enjoy reflecting on Reggie�s three seasons as a big part of our program.�
Bullock scored 2,001 total points in 116 games while at Kinston. He verbally committed to UNC as a sophomore, and as a senior he pulled the high school basketball trifecta � he was named a McDonald�s All-American, named to the Jordan Brand Classic and represented the U.S. in the Nike Hoops Summit.
Kinston High�s already-rich basketball history was made richer when Bullock arrived at the school. He came off the bench as a freshman and helped lead the Vikings to the state 3A runner-up in 2007, then helped lead them to the state 3A title in 2008. The Vikings returned to the state championship game Bullock�s senior year, where they soundly defeated West Caldwell, 51-29, for Bullock�s second state championship in four years.
�He played in three out of four state championships and won two of them. Certainly, he left his legacy and his footprints on not only the community, but of Kinston High School,� said Wells Gulledge, Bullock�s mentor and former coach. �Once you get a taste of that success, you don�t want to get rid of it.�
Gulledge said he has been in contact �daily� with Bullock about the star hoopster�s future, and fully supports his decision to leave school a year early.
�At the end of the day, Reggie�s got to do what�s best for Reggie no matter what anyone else thinks,� Gulledge said. �He�s going through a process that�s going to be a fun process for him with the next chapter of his life.�
Longtime friend and former Kinston teammate Dory Hines � whom Bullock listed as his best friend in the 2010-11 UNC men�s basketball media guide � said he spent this past weekend with Bullock and helped provide advice and perspective while he made his decision.
Hines, a point guard who wrapped up his junior season at Mount Olive College this winter, feels like his friend made the right choice.
�It was kind of a hard decision. You�ve got to go at the right time (and) I feel like that�s why he did it,� Hines said.
�He felt like he did his best this year and it was the right time to go.�
Bullock and Hines grew up together, and Hines relishes the fact that he was once the point guard who got his friend the ball on the court. In middle school, Hines was the quarterback who threw Bullock, a receiver, the football.
�It feels good, because me and Reggie�s basically grew up together our whole life. � He always used to tell me �Thanks for making me look good,� � Hines said. �I kind of feel good, actually, that I got the chance to play with somebody who�s going to the NBA.�
Hines is also in full support of his best friend�s decision.
�I�m going to support him either way because he is my best friend,� he said. �Basically, anything I can do to help, not harm. He�s going to do what�s best for him, not what�s best for everybody else.
�You just got to take the best time and the best opportunity and this was the best time and opportunity, he felt like.�
On Tuesday, Bullock was considered a second-round draft pick in several mock drafts, which means he would not have a guaranteed NBA contract.
Others, according to a Yahoo! Sports report, which originally broke the news that Bullock was leaving late Monday, have him as high as a late first-rounder.
The NBA draft will be held on June 27.

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine egg, water and a little salt. Beat with a fork to make an egg wash. Set aside. Fill a second bowl with breadcrumbs.
Slice chicken breast halves into thin cutlets. I usually get 3 thin cutlets out of one breast half. Pound them to make them thinner if you wish. This helps when you wrap the cutlets.
Cut each slice of cheese in half. Place a 1/2 slice cheese in the center of the chicken and top with a little broccoli. Wrap chicken around to completely cover cheese, using toothpicks to secure. Season with a little salt.
Dip chicken into egg wash, then breadcrumbs. Spray cookie sheet with oil and place chicken on cookie sheet. Lightly spray chicken with oil and bake about 25 minutes, until cooked.

Hope College Theatre will present "Much Ado About Nothing" by William Shakespeare in the DeWitt Center main theatre beginning Friday, March 5.
Performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 5 and 6; and Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, March 10, 12 and 13; all with an 8 p.m. curtain. There will be an additional 2 p.m. matinee performance on Saturday, March 13.
Shakespeare's comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" revolves around marriages and mishaps. The design team is setting the play in 1899, and the story combines comedic misunderstandings, witty barbs, and the endearingly frustrating search for love.
The production features the work of guest lighting designer Stephen Quandt, a freelance lighting designer based in New York City. Quandt has designed Off Broadway and regionally across the United States and abroad. He is a graduate of the College of Wooster, received his MFA in design from New YorkUniversity's TischSchool of the Arts and is a member of United Scenic Artists local 829. Regionally he has designed for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, the Kennedy Center, Capital Rep. Co. in AlbanyN.Y., Studio Arena Theater in BuffaloN.Y., Merrimack Rep. in LowellMass., The Court Theatre at the University of Chicago, the Stamford Center for the Arts, the State Ballet of Missouri, Gettysburg College, and Bennington College. He has also designed several productions for Yale University, where he teaches part time in the Theatre Studies Program.
"It's been a great pleasure working with the faculty, staff and students at Hope College on this fresh and joy-filled production," Quandt said of the design process.
Quandt went on to explain his inspiration, "Almost all of this production is set outside in the late 19th century, and while one main task of the lighting design is to help communicate ideas about time and place, it's also about communicating style. For this reason I took inspiration from the impressionist painter Monet, who painted many outdoor scenes from the same period and whose work seemed appropriate to the story and style of 'Much Ado.'"
The production is directed by Daina Robins of the college's theatre faculty. Other faculty members working on the production team are Michelle Bombe, costume designer, and Richard Smith, scenic and properties designer. Serving as technical director is staff member Paul Anderson.
The cast of "Much Ado About Nothing" includes: freshman Skyler Adams of Holland; freshman Lydia Blickley of Grand Rapids; sophomore Noah Busman of Scotia, N.Y.; junior Brianna Cooney of Waterford; senior Jeri Frederickson of Wheaton, Ill.; junior Ben Hertel of New Richmond; freshman Haley Hodges of Hart; junior Katie Hoekstra of Kalamazoo; sophomore Cory Lakatos of Howell; freshman Michael David Lesousky of Fairfield, Fla.; junior Cassie Niespodziewanski of Clarendon Hills, Ill.; freshman Emily Nock of Grand Junction, Colo.; sophomore Daniel Pesch of Western Springs, Ill.; junior Jackie Richards of Worthington, Ohio; sophomore John Telfer of Western Springs, Ill.; junior Jenny Tremblay of Oostburg, Wis.; freshman Mary Tripp of Farmington Hills; and sophomore Kara Williams of Saline.
Other students working on the production include: senior Stephen Cornelius of East Grand Rapids, sound designer; senior Sara Gosses of Amherst, Ohio, assistant lighting designer; senior Ken Chamberlain of Metuchen, N.J., master electrician; sophomore Brittni Nowicki of West Bloomfield, stage manager; and freshman Mackenzie Anderson of Bay City, assistant stage manager.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - The NBA has fined Charlotte Bobcats forward Josh McRoberts $20,000 for his hard foul on LeBron James in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals on Wednesday night.
McRoberts' personal foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 after the league deemed Thursday that he made "unnecessary and excessive contact" when he elbowed James in the neck as the Heat star went up for a basket with 50 seconds left in the game.
The foul left James visibly shaken and he made 1-of-2 foul shots for the last of his 32 points.
Miami held on for a 101-97 win to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

"ParaNorman" is a stop motion animated movie about a young boy who can see, and speak to, the dead. The unpredictable situations that occur due to his abilities cause an enormous amount of social stigmatism for him. No one in his life believes him, and everyone feels that he's odd.
Things change on the anniversary of the town's famous Puritan era witch trial, when Norman is the only one equipped to face the challenges of the supernatural events that arise. Can he save the day?
It's a charming and unique animated movie. Colorfully creepy for kids and fun for all ages, "ParaNorman" is a strong contender for my favorite animated film this year.

L. T. Murray Tour (August 21st, 2009)
This is Green Dot Road Tour I thought I would share with you.
I know this is not a hard core wheeling area but some of these roads are loose so 4 Wheel Drive helps.
This place would be a lot of fun if there was snow on the ground.

FRIDAY, Dec. 7, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Children with autism are nine times more likely than other children to be taken to the emergency department for mental health problems, according to a new study.
The issues include aggression; mood, anxiety and psychotic disorders; attempted suicide; and self-injury.
The study also found that families with private insurance are 58 percent more likely to take children with autism to the emergency department for urgent mental health care, compared to families covered by state medical-assistance programs.
Researchers analyzed data on nearly 4 million emergency department visits made by U.S. children aged 3 to 17 in 2008. Of those visits, more than 13,000 involved children with an autism spectrum disorder. Thirteen percent of the visits by kids with autism were psychiatric in nature, compared to 2 percent of all visits made by their peers.
"This finding of higher rates of emergency room visits among children with autism demonstrates that many children with autism aren't receiving sufficient outpatient mental health care to prevent and manage the type of crises that are driving these families to seek urgent help," senior study author Dr. Roma Vasa, a child psychiatrist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute's Center for Autism and Related Disorders, said in an institute news release.
"These findings should highlight the urgent need for better comprehensive outpatient mental health care and insurance coverage for children with autism, along with greater education and training for emergency medical staff," Vasa added.
The reason families with private insurance are more likely to take children with autism to the emergency department for urgent mental health care is likely "because private insurance plans often exclude autism from behavioral health coverage, have few in-network providers or place restrictive limits on the amount of mental health expenses that they will reimburse," study first author Luther Kalb, a research scientist in the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, said in the news release.
The study was published recently in the journal Pediatric Emergency Care.
About one in 88 children in the United States has an autism diagnosis, and the use of the emergency department to treat mental health problems in these children is likely to increase unless changes occur, the researchers said.
They noted that the often chaotic nature of emergency departments can worsen mental health issues in children with autism.
"Children with autism, especially those with co-occurring psychotic disorders or severe behaviors, need to have an emergency crisis plan in place," Kalb said. "Everyone involved in the life of a child with autism, from parents to medical professionals to school educators, needs to have routine discussions about what to do in the case of an escalating situation."

If America lurches towards dictatorship, it will be more with a whimper than a bang. We won't need to fear secret police so much as the oppressiveness of mass conformity, social pressure, the siphoning of wealth, and the spread of "official" viewpoints. I realize Americans' fears of one's political opponents assuming dictatorial powers are a bit overwrought and overdone. Neither W, Bush Senior, Clinton, nor Reagan was in any real sense a potential dictator, even though all three were reviled and feared by many opponents. Nonetheless, with the perspective of time, we see that their imagery, styles, goals, and personalities were American through and through.
The times and the place create the leader, and our post-religious, meaning-starved society more than ever wants atonement, purpose, and passion. The Obama message to white and black alike has resonated. To the former he promises forgiveness, to the latter, dignity and power. But his style, his words, and the imagery of his campaign are all new, whether in the form of enormous adoring crowds or the creepy posters. Coupled with an existing economic crisis and the Bush administration expansion of executive power, Obama certainly could move us in a very bad direction from which it would be very difficult to return to ordinary, constitutionally limited government. Some of the brakes we take for granted will be absent. Obama can cry racism, for instance, in the casual, insinuating way he did in his primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. Further, his supporters and his support is both intense and untethered to specific actions. It is hard to imagine that Obama will be forced to deflect the kind of criticism Bush has been subjected to from the right. By 2004, Bush was widely treated by conservatives as a mere magistrate and widely defended simply as the lesser of two evils.
The best analog would probably be someone like the Four Term leader, FDR, who retained a cult-like level of respect long after his death among working class survivors of the Great Depression. In reading a collection of contemporary essays, I was struck by the prescience and continuing relevance of the following passage by Herbert Agar:
Our real danger is from people like the late Huey Long, or the amiable Doctor Townsend. If fascism comes to America, it will not come as the result of a comic-opera putsch in which Wall Street buys an ex-general of Marines to lead a march on Washington. It will come as it came to Europe, as a revolt of the lower middle class, of the people who want to be self-respecting proprietors, but who find themselves-dispossessed–proletarian in fact, but not in feeling. These people are easy game for the demagogue, for the man who will promise them the moon and promise it quickly, who will tell the desperate middle class the the problem of making them all kings, or all financially independent, is perfectly simple.
If the middle class is sufficiently desperate, it will vote the demagogue into power. And when the demagogue comes to power, he will find that his 'age of plenty' is not so easy to provide. At that point fascism is born. At that point the demagogue, threatened with a breakdown of the whole economic system, turns to the Lords and Masters whom he has been abusing, and makes a deal. The demagogue stays in office and keeps the people quiet. The Lords and Masters stay in power and run the economic systems just the way they ahve always wanted to run it. The corporate State is monopoly-capitalism made safe, monopoliy capitalism with the whole power of society behind it.
The economic bailout rammed through Congress will give Obama and his future treasury secretary incredible leverage over every sector of the economy. Apparently "helping" our basket case auto industry is now on the agenda, but everything will have a catch: obeissance to whatever faddish idea Obama has about giving his constituents a fair deal, anti-free-market environmentalist extremism, and who knows what else. The worst thing about this will be that Bush's corporate welfare was always rightly labeled as such by genuine free market critics. Obama will have his mass movement in his corner, denouncing critics as retrograde special interests and uncompassionate failures. He'll tie the passions of young people with the most small-minded and short-sighted indulgences in mercantalism. Judging by the way he handled things in Chicago and on the campaign trail, don't expect kid cloves from The One, especially when he's pursuing bad policies that help the connected few at the expense of the many.
