Bucs WR Vincent Jackson Throws Baby Shower For Dozens Of Military Mothers
By: ThePostGame Staff -
For wide receiver Vincent Jackson, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' bye on Sunday was anything but a chance to relax and unwind.
That's because the three-time Pro Bowler spent the day with dozens of active military moms at a charity benefit put on by his Jackson in Action 83 Foundation. Jackson, who comes from a military family himself, and his wife, Lindsey, invited 40 mothers from the Tampa Bay area to the banquet. Each of the women was presented with a $1,000 gift bag that included diapers, wipes, car seats, strollers and more.
Post by Jackson In Action 83 Foundation.
"I knew, growing up in a military household, sometimes things are tight," Jackson told 10News in Tampa. "I know it's going to go a long way for these families, especially these young families to help keep some of that stuff in their pocket."
Jackson, who signed a five-year, $55.55 million contract with the Bucs in 2012, started his foundation as a means of helping military families. The foundation hosts a summer camp, awards scholarships and puts on a host of events for military parents and their kids. Jackson and his wife have even penned a children's book about the hardships of deployment.
On Sunday the gift basket came as a surprise to the women and their families.
"[Jackson's] amazing," Emily Humphrey, an attendee, told 10News. "I was actually doing some research on his foundation before we got here. He just seemed like a great guy, great family and we're just so blessed that they did this for us."
Through six games Jackson leads all Buccaneers players with 25 receptions for 344 yards and two touchdowns. Tampa Bay takes on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

What's Wrong with Patrik Laine?
Nearly all snipers are streaky, but Winnipeg Jets star Patrik Laine (35 points in 52 games) is taking this a little too far.
Since his ridiculous 18-goal eruption in November, he's found the back of the net four times in 28 games. On Saturday night, his team obliterated the Anaheim Ducks 9-3 on the strength of six different scorers. It was the perfect moment to get the monkey off his back, yet even with the floodgates open, he mustered all of one secondary assist on the power play.
For a career 16.9% shooter, his 2018-19 conversion rates by month are baffling: 6.8, 33.3, 7.9, 2.6 and 0. Obviously, he's neither as clinical as his high nor as hopeless as his low, but considering his current performance, just where he fits between those poles is unclear.
Oddly enough, the Jets are riding a 20-8-0 run during Laine's dry spell. Their stellar top line, solid defense and next-man-up philosophy have carried them to victory of late, but if they hope to make a dent in the playoffs, they need to get their 20-year-old sharpshooter back on the right track. Mark Scheifele (62 points in 52 games), Blake Wheeler (64 points in 52 games) and Kyle Connor (42 points in 52 games) can't carry the offense by themselves.
As it stands, factors both within and beyond his control are hampering his production.
First off, head coach Paul Maurice has paired him with a center who may not be capable of maximizing Laine's skill set. As an effortless finisher, he requires a pivot who can consistently put the puck in his wheelhouse. Otherwise, he'll merely wait for the play to come to him. On a line with Bryan Little (34 points in 52 games), that approach is proving quite frustrating. The 31-year-old remains a serviceable veteran, but there's a distinct lack of chemistry at play because Little is more of a jack-of-all-trades than a slick setup man.
That's not the formula for a successful partnership, so their awful numbers together aren't exactly surprising: The Jets control just 44.3% of the shot attempts, 45.8% of the scoring chances and 43.4% of the goals scored during their 5-on-5 shifts. Since Laine's NHL debut in 2016-17, he and Little have posted a 46.8 CF%, 47.4 SCF% and 46.3 GF% on a competitive team. In other words, this isn't a shocking development.
When Laine has played with any other center — mostly Scheifele — his line's GF60 has risen from 2.64 to 3.55.
Curiously, though, that isn't the case this season, as his GF60 drops from 2.76 to a dismal 1.47 without Little. The veteran's numbers also skyrocket (56.5 CF%, 54.2 SCF%, 50.0 GF%) away from Laine, which suggests there's more to the youngster's issues than Maurice's line combinations.
Without pucks handed to him on a silver platter, he's struggling to contribute much of anything. If he wants to shed the skin of an inconsistent scorer, he can't sit back and let his centers shoulder the entire burden of creating opportunities. Sure, his shot is world-class and without question his greatest gift. However, it's not his only gift. He's seemingly labeled himself a one-trick pony and is relying on that incredible skill to shine through.
Unfortunately, he's suffering from tunnel vision when he is granted touches. Instead of surveying the play and picking the best option available, he's either shooting as soon as he can or holding on to the puck for an eternity as defenders bear down on him. He's flashed a deft passing touch and the ability to shield the puck in the past, but he's seemingly tucked those skills away while he waits for his best asset to normalize.
To be fair, his shooting percentage will likely rebound to a respectable mark soon enough. In the meantime, however, he needs to use his teammates and move his feet to loosen up the opposition's posture. A slumping, stationary target isn't scaring anyone or doing his teammates any favors.
His line is a one-and-done machine at the moment, which only accentuates Laine's weaknesses as a three-zone player. He's now forced to chip in without the puck…and it isn't going swimmingly. In fact, Winnipeg drowns in just about every metric during his time on ice.
He ranks dead last among Jets forwards in CF% (45.6), SCF% (46.3) and GF% (42.2). Among the 250 NHL forwards who have played 500-plus even-strength minutes this season, Laine comes in at 243rd in relative CF%, 229th in relative SCF% and 238th in relative GF%. He isn't just snake-bitten. The Jets never control less of the play than when their third-year sniper hops over the boards.
If he can't contribute on the scoreboard, he should help his team out in other ways. His sorest spot at present is his play along the defensive blue line. He's struggling to ensure that his team exits its zone cleanly with link-up passes or chips out into safe areas. That's as basic as it gets for a winger, yet he isn't executing.
It's hard to earn the coach's trust when you can't nail down the fundamentals.
As odd as it may seem for a 6'5", 206-pounder, physical limitations may be holding him back as well. There's no power whatsoever to his first few strides and he doesn't possess the strength that he should with his frame. He regularly loses leverage in the corners to smaller opponents and isn't explosive enough to create separation. As a result, he isn't finding himself in advantageous situations all that often.
Little is an easy scapegoat — and Maurice is partially responsible for staying the course — but Laine has actually posted his highest shots/60 yet in 2018-19. The problem is he's settling for low-percentage bids instead of taking the play into his own hands to generate dangerous chances.
While management can sort his physical flaws out in the offseason with a stricter and more focused workout regimen, for the time being, he's an awkward, lanky scorer who's lost his way.
The Jets can't afford to hope that Laine's shooting percentage bounces back on its own. Given his two-way issues, they can't jeopardize their top unit by placing him next to Scheifele either. For his part, Laine can't spend his time floating around the perimeter and firing pucks indiscriminately. He needs to work with what he has physically and engage in the action. He's done so over the past couple of contests, and while it hasn't led to goals yet, that extra bit of urgency will help him turn the tide. It's just a matter of avoiding the shortcuts and trusting the process.
In the end, streakiness may well define his career. It's not uncommon for pure scorers to experience the occasional drought. However, this is different. A dubious partnership, growing pains and insufficient drive have conspired to bring his offense to a dead stop. He's hit a wall and seemingly has no idea how to work through it.
It starts there, really: Work.
Only then might we see the flip side of this coin. Though he's ice-cold now, few stars in the world can burn hotter.

Elks, people and a boat at Astuvansalmi.
The Astuvansalmi rock paintings (Finnish: Astuvansalmen kalliomaalaukset) are located in Ristiina, Southern Savonia, Finland at the shores of the lake Yövesi, which is a part of the large lake Saimaa. The paintings are 7.7 to 11.8 metres above the water-level of lake Saimaa. The lake level was much higher at the time the rock paintings were made. There are about 70 paintings in the area.
The rock where the paintings are located looks like a human head, the form especially visible during wintertime when viewed from the ice of the lake. The rock has presumably been some kind of a cult or ceremony site. The images of elk in Finnish rock paintings may be related to 'animal ceremonialism', whereupon the continuity of the hunted species is guaranteed by a ritual in which the animal is sent back to its 'owner'.
The oldest paintings were made about 3000–2500 BC. They are located at the highest level (about 11 metres). The water level changed rapidly (about 2.5 metres) with the landslide of Vuoksi. Later on the level slowly went down 8 metres to its present level. All the later paintings were made from boats during the different historical water-levels.
The rock that sheltered Astuvansalmi paintings from erosion.
Other archeological artefacts have been found on the site, at the bottom of the lake, among them small amber statuettes of old gods (Ukko and Akka). Some animal jewellery was also found, one showing a bear head. The jewellery and statuettes refer to some religious ceremonies held on the site.
Arrowheads have also been found, dated to 2200–1800 BC and 1300–500 BC.
Stone age settlements from about 3300–2800 BC have been found near Astuvansalmi in Heiniemi.
The Astuvansalmi rock paintings contain the following pictures: 18 to 20 elk, about as many human figures, tens of hands and animal tracks, 8 to 9 boats, and geometrical figures and pictures that are thought to show a fish and a dog.
The paintings could have a link to the Siberian and North European shamanistic tradition, where the sun was thought to be a deer or an elk running through the sky. The Lapps (or Sami people) also had a belief that the sun was a running Cosmic Sun-Reindeer. The people in the paintings were the shamans, who had a contact with the spirit world through trance with their drumming and songs. Shamanism is the oldest cultural tradition of Finland and the North. It has been actively present already in the Paleolithic age.
The elk has traditionally been a very important prey for the people of the north. The elk has also meant the Center of the Universe. Some of the eighteen elk of Astuvansalmi have dots on their heart. All except one is looking west. Some are moving and some are standing.
The boat was an important means of transport in the lake regions of prehistoric Finland. Big boats of skin and wood were already being made before the Vikings started making their big ships. The boats were quite similar to the North American Indian models.
A woman figure with a bow – the Tellervo of Astuva – a rarity among the rock paintings.
The human figures are both shamans and spirits, who are connected with hunting ceremonies. The human figures could also have meant the people who drew them. The rare woman figure holding a bow in her hand is thought to show the mythic "Tellervo", a goddess from the Kalevala mythology, who is thought to be the progenitor of the human race. Women never usually took part in the hunting, that is why she is thought to be of a more divine nature.
^ a b c d Antti Lahelma (2008). "A Touch of Red : Archaeological and Ethnographic Approaches to Interpreting Finnish Rock Paintings" (PDF). The Finnish Antiquarian Society. pp. 15, 46, 257–259. Retrieved 22 Feb 2014. – – the large number of elk in Finnish rock paintings associates them with hunting, but not in the traditional sense of hunting magic. Instead, the paintings were done in order to return the hunted elk to their 'owner spirit', which she identified with the 'Lady with the Bow' at Astuvansalmi. According to Siikala, this image is likely to represent a being of the spirit world, since among modern circumpolar cultures, special taboos exist concerning women and game: "the very presence of a woman in hunter's quarters might defile the hunting tackle, making [it] unfit for use" (Siikala 1981: 94). In Siikala's view, then, rock paintings were to be understood as places where the shaman could contact the 'keeper' of the elk species. Invalid language code.

Q: Recieving uknown JSON to my API and parsing it I have API, that recieve JSON from body, which is send from some WebUI.

But request is not constant. It changes with develepment.
Right know i have to match MyModel with request to work on JSON in Body. But it generates too much work, because of many changes.
Is there a solution, so I can recieve uknown JSON object and parse it inside of controler?
For example, is there a trick, so I can write
public IActionResult Create([FromBody] var request)

or something similiar?

A: System.Text.Json has an class called JsonElement which can be used to bind any JSON to it.
[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Create([FromBody] JsonElement jsonElement)
{
    // Get a property
    var aJsonProperty = jsonElement.GetProperty("aJsonPropertyName").GetString();

    // Deserialize it to a specific type
    var specificType = jsonElement.Deserialize<SpecificType>();

    return NoContent();

We all know the dangers of excessive drinking. But did you know that when you give up alcohol, you start to feel the health benefits within just ONE hour…?
Pounding headache, waves of sickness and a mouth dryer than the Sahara. Sound familiar? Many of us have suffered the after effects of drinking too much, and usually we feel better after a day or two.
We all know that regular drinking can cause damage beyond the symptoms of a hangover. Problems include serious organ inflammation and lasting damage to your DNA.
But did you know that by taking a break from the bottle — or giving up for good — you can reap health benefits almost immediately?
Quit and you'll lose weight, sleep better and have more energy. We've set out a timeline to show you how your body begins to recover just one hour after quitting the booze.
The human body is wonderful at recovering, and within one hour of putting down your last glass it will go into detox mode and cleanse the bloodstream to prevent alcohol poisoning.
As full detoxification begins, your blood sugar levels should stabilise.
Performance dietitian Jessica Spendlove says: 'We can only process a certain amount of alcohol — roughly one standard drink — per hour.
Add that to the calories per glass of wine and you can see why drinking causes weight gain!
This is when you should feel back to normal as your body will have got rid of those lingering hangover symptoms.
Your sleep cycle should return to normal too.
Alcohol reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is the deepest and most vital part of our sleep cycle. So although you may feel you've slept well, the quality of your sleep will not have been good.
After 72 hours, your sleep quality improves so you will enjoy an increasing amount of uninterrupted REM sleep, which improves overall wellbeing.
Eye bags? Spot flare-ups? Dull skin? Just seven days without booze can banish the lot!
With deeper sleep, skin will have a brighter tone and conditions exacerbated by alcohol — including eczema and red flushes — will start to improve.
The list of benefits keeps going. Dietitian Chloe McLeod says it can take just two weeks off the booze to begin seeing weight loss.
'Many people start to notice that their waistline begins to shrink and they can even drop a dress size by the end of the month, depending on how much alcohol was being consumed previously,' she says.
Your skin, hair and nails should be visibly sturdier at this stage too.
If you're willing to go alcohol-free for a year, then firstly well done! It's not an easy task. And secondly, the health benefits will be amazing.
On average you can expect to lose 6kg — that's almost a stone. And your risk of breast, liver and mouth cancers, as well as other chronic conditions, will be reduced.

The Most Innovative Tactics That Changed Football Forever
Football is not always about the ability to shoot the ball with precision and strength. In fact, tactics play an essential part and, if executed well, can significantly influence the game result. Some managers and players were really creative and managed to introduce certain innovations into tactics that made football the second most important thing in the world. Let's take a look at some of these tactics and how they are used nowadays.
WM Formation
Before defense became a thing in football, everybody had put a great deal of energy and focus on attack. Formations, such as 2-3-5, were popular back in the day, leaving enough room for quick counter attacks and a lot of goals. Herbert Chapman, manager of Arsenal in the 20s, decided to put three players in defense, and the new formation looked like 3-2-2-3. The combination of letters WM simply depicts the way the system looks like on the field.
The coach of Ajax, Louis Van Gaal, was a pretty creative and innovative football manager. He was a creator of the 3-3-1-3 formation that helped Ajax achieve a lot back in the season of 1994/95. This type of structure was inspired by Total Football and helped Ajax easily win the Dutch League. The team also won the European Cup thanks to this tactic that seemed unstoppable at the time. High levels of pressing and a high line of defenders could have become a catastrophe if it wasn't utilized by the talented players Ajax had back then.
Gegenpressing
Gegenpressing is roughly translated as counter pressing that made Jurgen Klopp famous. He had a very specific idea behind it, claiming that the best time to take the ball back from the opponent is as soon as you lose it. That actually makes sense because of the chemical process that happens in our body at the moment of gaining possession of the ball. Whenever we win anything, we get rewarded with dopamine and don't think clearly for a moment. This is the best time to press the opponents, and it seemed to have worked with Klopp.
Tiki Taka
Tiki Taka is a system also inspired by the Total Football but focused more on short passes. As soon as Pep Guardiola became FC Barcelona's head coach, he knew that this tactic had to work. Not only did he have some of the best players in the world in his team, but he also trusted them enough to experiment with the Tiki Taka playstyle. The idea was to make many short passes and retain the ball as much as possible in order to confuse the opponent. Suddenly, football was not only about wings passing the ball to the center forward. It was about going in through the middle, so the second striker became as crucial as the CF.
Total Football
Total Football is the greatest tactic of all time and the creator that made this revolutionary innovation was Johan Cruyff. He moved to Barcelona in the 80s, only to create what many consider the best football team of all time. The tactic is based on two simple concepts: the first one is using space to create advantage, and the second is constantly changing the positions of the players in order to confuse the opponent. Furthermore, Total Football became the basis for many professional managers and inspired many others to experiment and make innovations in this sport.

TOP 3 TIPS FOR HIRING A ROOFING CONTRACTOR - WCC ROOFING CO.
Check Reputation– This becomes one of the best ways to ensure you are hiring a vetted roofing contractor. Today, it's not difficult to find online reviews and testimonials from customers who have used the services of a particular company. Check social media sites and you will get a general feel about the credibility of a particular contractor. They should be able to provide his full name and address (and shouldn't furnish a P.O. Box number).
They should also have a valid roofing contractor license (this is different from a business license). Experience is another factor that is closely linked to reputation. Opt for an experienced contractor; a mediocre one will not be able to survive in the market for too long, without a blot on his reputation, and it's important to ask them to provide references.
Insurance– It's crucial that the contractor you choose have the required worker's compensation. This is primarily because the homeowner's insurance you have may not cover worker's injuries while the project is in progress. In case there is an accident, you will be liable to pay all costs from your own pocket. The company should also have the liability to protect the homeowner, in the event of an accident.
Guarantees & Warranties-This is another important aspect. A well-established roofing contractor always provides longer workmanship guarantees. These are different from the warranties provided by the roofing material manufacturer.
In addition, check for the responsiveness of the contractor and whether he is proactive in their approach. It's also very important that you don't necessarily settle for the company that provides the lowest quote – they might just be cutting corners.
Always keep in mind, that your roof is a major investment and that the installation has to last for decades. For excellent roofing solutions, call WCC Roofing Co. at 314.596.0596 or check out our website at www.wccroofing.com.

Q: Unit Testing login token I am working on adding unit testing to my application framework and everything is going well. I however have run into an issue testing if the token has expired or is still active.
I was able to test if the user token was created by mocking the response for my /login call with a token I saved for a test user, however this only works until the token expires. I have no way to manually expire the token or reset the expiration time to the future.
My auth factory:
auth.isLoggedIn = function(){
    var token = SS.getObj('appToken');
    if(token){
        var payload = JSON.parse($window.atob(token.split('.')[1]));
        return payload.exp > Date.now() / 1000;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
};

And my unit tests:
describe('auth.isLoggedIn()', function () {
    it('should return false if a user is not logged in', function () {
      expect(auth.isLoggedIn()).toEqual(false); // This test passes 100%
    });

    it('should return true if a user is logged in', function () {
      user = {
        email: 'bwayne@wayneenterprise.com',
        password: 'password123'
      };
      $httpBackend.expectPOST('/login').respond({ token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6NywiZW1haWwiOiJid2F5bmVAd2F5bmVlbnRlcnByaXNlLmNvbSIsIm5hbWUiOiJCcnVjZSBXYXluZSIsImV4cCI6MTQzODI4NDYwNywiaWF0IjoxNDM4MjgxMDA3fQ.2rpGJ1c5dVi1EiPo0C5JIdva7MonutCYmotP5-pB_N4' }); // I copied a valid token from a test user, but I can't change it since I'm just copying an old token.
      auth.login(user);
      $httpBackend.flush();
      expect(auth.isLoggedIn()).toEqual(true); // This test passes if the above token has a valid time/date, however I can't set the time/date so it usually fails
    });

    it('should return false if a users token has expired', function () {
      user = {
        email: 'bwayne@wayneenterprise.com',
        password: 'password123'
      };
      $httpBackend.expectPOST('/login').respond({ token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6NywiZW1haWwiOiJid2F5bmVAd2F5bmVlbnRlcnByaXNlLmNvbSIsIm5hbWUiOiJCcnVjZSBXYXluZSIsImV4cCI6MTQzODI4NDYwNywiaWF0IjoxNDM4MjgxMDA3fQ.2rpGJ1c5dVi1EiPo0C5JIdva7MonutCYmotP5-pB_N4' });
      auth.login(user);
      $httpBackend.flush();
      expect(auth.isLoggedIn()).toEqual(false); // This test fails if the date/time has expired, again I can't set that so it's usually passing, as the token has expired.
    });
  });

I suspect the proper way to do this is to actually create a valid token during the test, but I'm not sure how to do that as it's handled by the node server who's responses I mock to avoid relying on a server response in my tests.

A:
I have no way to manually expire the token or reset the expiration time to the future.

Luckily, you have nice way to do it and make this statement: return payload.exp > Date.now() / 1000; more predictable. Jasmine has pretty nice feature to mock Date object and you can use it in the following way:
beforeEach(function() {
    jasmine.clock().install();
    jasmine.clock().mockDate(new Date(2015, 8, 28)); //You can set any date
});

afterEach(function() {
    jasmine.clock().uninstall(); //Don't forget to uninstall your mock
});

With this approach you can refactor your tests to something like this:
it('should return true if a user is logged in', function () {
  jasmine.clock().install();
  jasmine.clock().mockDate(new Date(2015, 8, 28)); //Here you should set some VALID date for token, which you're defining below

  user = {
    email: 'bwayne@wayneenterprise.com',
    password: 'password123'
  };
  $httpBackend.expectPOST('/login').respond({ token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6NywiZW1haWwiOiJid2F5bmVAd2F5bmVlbnRlcnByaXNlLmNvbSIsIm5hbWUiOiJCcnVjZSBXYXluZSIsImV4cCI6MTQzODI4NDYwNywiaWF0IjoxNDM4MjgxMDA3fQ.2rpGJ1c5dVi1EiPo0C5JIdva7MonutCYmotP5-pB_N4' }); // I copied a valid token from a test user, but I can't change it since I'm just copying an old token.
  auth.login(user);
  $httpBackend.flush();
  expect(auth.isLoggedIn()).toEqual(true); // This test passes if the above token has a valid time/date, however I can't set the time/date so it usually fails

  jasmine.clock().uninstall(); //Clean up
});

it('should return false if a users token has expired', function () {
  jasmine.clock().install();
  jasmine.clock().mockDate(new Date(2020, 11, 30)); //Here you should set some INVALID date for token, which you're defining below
  user = {
    email: 'bwayne@wayneenterprise.com',
    password: 'password123'
  };
  $httpBackend.expectPOST('/login').respond({ token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6NywiZW1haWwiOiJid2F5bmVAd2F5bmVlbnRlcnByaXNlLmNvbSIsIm5hbWUiOiJCcnVjZSBXYXluZSIsImV4cCI6MTQzODI4NDYwNywiaWF0IjoxNDM4MjgxMDA3fQ.2rpGJ1c5dVi1EiPo0C5JIdva7MonutCYmotP5-pB_N4' });
  auth.login(user);
  $httpBackend.flush();
  expect(auth.isLoggedIn()).toEqual(false); // This test fails if the date/time has expired, again I can't set that so it's usually passing, as the token has expired.

  jasmine.clock().uninstall(); //Clean up
});

Now, as you can see, we can manually set past or future date for Date.now() function, when it's needed.
See Jasmine Clock section with an example.

You can also mock Date.now in traditional way with spyOn:
spyOn(Date, 'now').and.returnValue(2000);

It'll look a little bit cleaner:
it('should return false if a users token has expired', function () {
  spyOn(Date, 'now').and.returnValue(2000); //Here you should set some INVALID count of milliseconds for token, which you're defining below
  user = {
    email: 'bwayne@wayneenterprise.com',
    password: 'password123'
  };
  $httpBackend.expectPOST('/login').respond({ token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6NywiZW1haWwiOiJid2F5bmVAd2F5bmVlbnRlcnByaXNlLmNvbSIsIm5hbWUiOiJCcnVjZSBXYXluZSIsImV4cCI6MTQzODI4NDYwNywiaWF0IjoxNDM4MjgxMDA3fQ.2rpGJ1c5dVi1EiPo0C5JIdva7MonutCYmotP5-pB_N4' });
  auth.login(user);
  $httpBackend.flush();
  expect(auth.isLoggedIn()).toEqual(false); // This test fails if the date/time has expired, again I can't set that so it's usually passing, as the token has expired.

Cheating scandal leads to NCAA sanctions for WSU football program
The Weber State football team lines up for practice in August 2013. The team has been sanctioned by the NCAA because of cheating last year. (Photo by Tyler Brown / The Signpost)
The NCAA Committee on Infractions announced Wednesday that the Weber State football team will be sanctioned because of academic fraud involving five players.
The Weber State football team has been placed on probation for three years effective Wednesday. The team was not banned from postseason play, but the university will have to pay a $5,000 fine plus 2 percent of the football program's operating budget to the NCAA. It will also lose nine scholarships—three each year—during the probation. The penalties could have been harsher, but the chief hearing officer on the case, Rodney Uphoff, said that the fact Weber State reported the infractions as quickly as they did mitigated the possible penalties.
"The school was credited with properly detecting and coming forward with the information as required by the membership," Uphoff said. "So yes that was a factor that worked in Weber State's favor."
The decision stemmed from a self-report made by the university on May 14, 2013. According to the release from NCAA, the case began April 24, 2013, when an adjunct instructor discovered inconsistencies in the work of a student-athletes.
"The adjunct instructor noted that the student-athlete completed six quizzes and a final exam in less than one hour—an uncharacteristic pattern for the student-athlete," according to the NCAA.
From there, a nine-day review by members of the developmental math department identified inconsistencies in five students' work, all of them members of the football team. The department informed the athletics department and Weber State's president, and after an internal review, they reported the violations to the NCAA.
During the review, the work of nine other players was identified as potentially anomalous, but the players were found either not responsible or were not charged, according to the NCAA.
Christine Marx, a former developmental math instructor, was found to have taken quizzes and exams for the five players involved, Allison Hess, Weber State's spokeswoman, said.
"When interviewed, the math instructor admitted that during the spring 2013 semester she obtained the usernames and passwords for five student-athletes . . . the math instructor also stated she had completed this work of her own volition and took responsibility for her actions," the NCAA reported. "The math instructor also noted the five student-athletes never requested that she complete their quizzes, tests and exams and were not present at the time she completed them."
Hess said that the incident was a shock, and that Weber State operates under the reasonable expectation that it can trust its faculty.
"This was completely unexpected behavior from a long-term employee who violated that trust," Hess said.
Marx had been a part-time instructor at Weber State since 1987. In Weber State's response to the NCAA's Notice of Allegations, the university stated that Marx had resigned her position upon learning of the investigation and would have been fired if she hadn't resigned. The response also stated that the three student-athletes still enrolled at Weber State during the 2013-14 year were ruled ineligible and did not compete in the 2013 season.
"We take full responsibility for the incident," Wight said. "While we regret that it occurred, it is reassuring to know the systems we have in place quickly detected these unethical activities. We must remain vigilant going forward."
Weber State charged the five players with academic dishonesty and the players were issued failing grades.
Marx has been given a five-year show-cause order, meaning if she gets a position at a member institution of the NCAA with responsibilities in the athletics department, she must inform the institution of her show-cause order and a hearing will be held to determine if her responsibilities with the athletics department would be limited.
"At Weber State, we hold our students, faculty and staff to the highest level of ethical and professional conduct," WSU President Chuck Wight said in a statement. "This investigation found that, in this case, a former adjunct instructor failed to uphold those standards."
This is the third time in the last 10 years that the Weber State football team has been affected by NCAA sanctions. Last season, offensive coordinator Robin Pflugrad was suspended for one week of practices and the Wildcats' home opener because of his failure to report improper assistance football players received from university boosters while he was head coach of the University of Montana team. In 2006, the football team lost one scholarship for the year after students from multiple athletics teams at Weber State used financial aid to buy non-essential items at the campus store, a violation of rules regarding athletes receiving extra benefits.

(Mecha March 2019) Genesis Climber Mospeada: A Weird Biker Gangs Road Trip Through Alien Territory
Posted on March 22, 2019 March 2, 2019 by Scott
Show of hands, how many people have heard of something called Robotech? What about actually watching it? I guess I don't have a way to measure who is raising their hand for what because this is a blog, but I am going to assume that some of you reading this have raised your hand. To be honest with you, I have only heard about Robotech because I never watched it for myself. I do absolutely love S.D.F. Macross though and I gave myself the mission to watch the other shows Robotech included at some point in my life. Luckily, all of these are available on Amazon. At some point, I'm going to have to actually watch Robotech too for comparison. For this Mecha March, I decided to watch Genesis Climber Mospeada because I've heard from a lot of friends on twitter that this one is pretty good and better then the second series. What are my thoughts on Mospeada? Conflicted mostly.
Genesis Climber is a series that happens after the alien race called the Inbit invaded Earth. A lot of humanity escaped Earth in order to fight another day and have colonized Mars. In this anime's backstory, human kind has already sent one attack force in order to take the Earth back. That first attack failed and the series starts with the second human invasion a short amount of years later. It's yet another counter invasion that is doomed to fail, but one where our main character Stick takes part and is the only survivor from his fleet. Worthy of note, he went into his fighter merely minutes after proposing to his girl friend. That girl friend and the attack fleet are now dead, so basically the opposite of the usual cliché happens here. Stick was given the orders to travel to a rendevouz point to meet with other downed members and that's the plot of the Genesis Comber Mospeada. Just so happens he gets a strange group of friends along the way in which they form a make shift family. One of the strangest that I've ever seen.
Left to right: Stick, Aisha, Yellow, Ray, Jim, Houqet, and Mint.
Source: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/13511-genesis-climber-mospeada/season/1
The family itself is the soldier by the name of Stick, of course, a ravager from Earth whose name is Rey, the tough motorcycle chick who is one of the earliest versions of what can be called a tsundere named Houqet, a soldier from the first invasion who is learning to be brave named Jim, the crossdressing singer who is also a soldier named Yellow, and a little girl named that wants to get married to everybody. Half way through the story, another women with amnesia joins them. Ok, this is all a little too large of a generalization. Each character is given their episodes and moments to shine in which they are fleshed out more. In all honestly, I love each of them. Even the hard nosed soldier Stick sometimes, because he's a complete dork who doesn't know how to handle himself when he is thrown out of his soldier element. Even Mint, the designated comedy relief character, is pretty alright. She never over stays her welcome at pivotal moments. They are such a fun group of unique characters.
My problems with this series start with all the filler episodes. Each one of them are pretty much the same kind of episode and made Stick unlikable to me. So many episodes are about getting older soldiers to fight once again inevitably leading to their deaths. It was fine the first time when a military leader Stick idolized was selling out soldiers for his survival, but he has no right in judging other soldiers that were fighting to survive in occupied territory LONGER THEN HIM. Especially since so many towns on this group's journey involved people doing terrible and/or questionable things in order to get by. I see nothing wrong with people being dedicated to their missions, but the lack of empathy and single mindedness of Stick's character constantly irritated me. At least he learned to see more in the end of the series kind of, even if his single mindedness still hurt him in the end. The series certainly did a number on him.
They have some strange adventures…
The Inbit are an interesting alien race. Like aliens in these kinds of stories, their home planet was lost a long time ago and they decided Earth was the planet they wanted to settle on. Not so interesting there, but they are a hive minded species that are seeking the necessary body evolution to live on the planet Earth. Our protagonist crew end up on a lot of situations and laboratories (including a dinosaur one that I still have so many questions about) that show us this along with the mother mind just talking about the Inbit evolution for Earth. You may know what their final form turns out to be, human cough, but I wish we saw what they looked like before hand. They are only seen in robot suits until the important twist shows up. There are moments that the Inbit remind me of the Buggers from Ender's Game, because after their initial attacks of various human cities, they mostly ignored the humans living in them. The only ones that were attacked were the ones seeking to attack in the first place which ties into what I want to bring up next.
Genesis Climber Mospeada is a story about hatred, acceptance, and fear. The Inbit's attacks and invasions set off an unyielding since of rage through out all of the human colonies of the solar system. The Earth is our home and humanity feels like it was sucker punched by the aliens. This lead to three attempts to take the Earth back because who wouldn't get pissed off by that? Not to mention all of the hatred in each of the little towns on the way to Reflex Point, the rendezvous point for all of humanities forces to fight against the Inbit for the last time, which created a confused environment. Nobody could trust each other, because that's the kind of atmosphere this whole invasion brought up. When will the Inbit attack next, how could we avoid the Inbit attacking us, what is the outside force that is causing these attacks? Nobody understands how to communicate with the other species, so there is this huge feeling of unknown that is more terrifying then knowing when the attack happens. It's scary on Earth and Genesis Climber Mospeada shows that. What happens in the end that resolves the situation? Well, that's a spoiler and I kind of want people to watch this series so I won't be sharing the ending. Just know that it irritates me because I feel like it's a little bit of a cop out.
Can you tell this came from a motorcycle? Source: https://www.webstagram.me/tag/mospeada
The visuals are what you expect an early 80's mecha series to look like. Some simple character designs, a lot of stock footage of different mecha units lifting off and fighting, a lot of cheap animation when it's not stock footage with some short cuts, and other things. Still, there are some stand out episodes with some great moments. The first episode with all the space ships and fighters were pretty awesome. There were also interesting ones that involve our characters fighting in the snow or how amazingly animated and constructed the episodes in the dinosaurs was. (I keep bringing this up, because I am still confused about how this happened and STILL am coming to terms with it.) There were other episodes that are great, but these are the ones that come to mind to me. Just know that all of it goes with the show's disco music soundtrack and all the awesome insert songs.
Let's talk about the mech designs, because that is always why we are all here? Right? Well, that's at least why I am here. Shinji Aramaki's mech designs are mostly basic and redundent, but that works for this story. They are military mechs after all. On the other side, I love the Inbit's unique and round mech designs. I liked their strange sense of proportions, round shapes, and an odd sense of color. Those things really gives each one of them a sense of otherworldlyness which is excellent. In contrast, the human mech designs are generally boring to me. They are transformable from human form to mech form with an inbetween form, but besides the customizable color, none of them stand out that well. That is completely fine, because they are military mechs and military things are usually identical with each other on purpose. I do what to bring a special mention to the motorcycles that turn into mini mechs. You know, the mospeadas? Those are pretty awesome.
Such a cool design!

Writing this post helped me to sort out my thoughts better which resulted in me liking it better then I thought I did. Sometimes it helps to sort your thoughts out in a post like this and I didn't do that until now. I still have a few caveats on Genesis Climber Mospeada that already explained in this post like Stick and the ending, but the ride was still enjoyable and motorcyles that turn into robot suits is incredibly cool. I know some anime do that, but there needs to be more because I feel like the potential is still untapped. In the end though, I will give this show a pretty good recommendation. It's a lot of fun,has some crazy characters types and others that aren't seen very often in a lot of anime, and is a surprisingly introspective series while being a decent road trip story. I may want to look at that Robotech version of this show to see how everything was adapted to fit that format.
You can find this show on Amazon Prime right here if you are interested in watching it.

Good job on the review and it's great someone talked about this series. I saw the Robotech version of this show, but not the original. Ever thought about covering Southern Cross?
I was planning on getting to Southern Cross eventually. Not sure when because when I decide to watch things is weird.
Gotcha. I was curious since that obviously ties to Robotech. It would be cool to see that happen, but I understand. I'm the same way when it comes to what I review especially given the concept of Iridium Eye.

Invid. Not inbit. Most anime fans of mecha say if they had to be stranded on an alien world with a mecha, it would be this model they'd want. The alpha fighter is space capable, easy to repair, has a vacuum sealed powered armor ejection suit AND a ground transport motorcycle. Its a very survivable and durable machine that keeps its pilot alive. It also has a gun that can kill monsters as the sidearm.

This is so cool. I don't know if I ever told you that I am a huge Robotech fan. It's honestly the first "anime" experience I had, though technically that wasn't anime. A lot of people say they like the Macross part of Robotech the best….I have always been the one that liked the Mospeada arc the best. I have always been a post apocalyptic fan (yeah…I'm weird like that), but that being said, I also really liked the characters in this arc as well as the as you say, cool mecha designs. I have unfortunately never seen the original Mospeada series (Robotech totally changed the storyline) so this was a very interesting post to read. Nice to see your writing skills are still as good as ever 😊
Hi Raistlin! It's been a while 😁. I saw you post and didn't know how to respond because everyone else said things I wanted to say so I felt I would be redundant. I'm sorry you're going through a lot and still haven't figured out everything that is going on. I'm glad that you're going to start posting again in little spurts. Take your time and hope you figure everything out.
The post apocalyptic setting is a lot of fun and could be used to explore a lot of concepts so I can see why you like it. I need to see what the changes are like so I should jump into robotech at some point. Thank you for reading! 😁
Hey Scott, it's definitely been a while 😊 No worries, nothing you say ever feels redundant. It's definitely been a bad couple of months, and it's pretty well I guess sucky is a good word for it, that it isn't anywhere near a conclusion. But well…I will try and be around a bit more here as I said as I really missed all of you. And seriously: thanks for these kind words 😊
As for Robotech….I can't really compare it to the orginals as I haven't seen them. But the entire storyline of all three shows has been rewritten to make into one continuing saga. I have always wanted to do a post about the show itself, and maybe that will happen somewhere this year. Robotech has always, and still has a very special place in my heart, as it's a truly amazing series. Hopefully you will get around to it yourself at some point 😊

Latvia's bilateral relations with a number of European countries are good and even excellent, Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics said during a meeting with non-resident ambassadors to Latvia.
Rinkevics met with non-resident ambassadors to Latvia on Friday or a discussion on the eve of the anniversary of the international de iure recognition of the Republic of Latvia, on current bilateral matters and international policy, including topics related to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU), the Three Sees Initiative, the Middle East Peace Process, cyber-security, and the crisis in Venezuela.
At the beginning of the meeting, the foreign minister informed the visitors about the priorities of the new Cabinet and the main tasks for the Latvian Foreign Service in 2019.
The minister expressed satisfaction with the good relationship between Latvia and Romania at all levels, especially in building parliamentary contacts and the strengthening of economic and cultural links. Rinkevics congratulated Romania on the successful start of the Presidency of the EU Council.
The foreign minister also spoke with appreciation of the good bilateral relations between Latvia and Bulgaria, which hold a high potential for growth. The minister thanked Bulgaria for successfully presiding over the Council of the EU.
Rinkevics characterized the political dialogue between Latvia and Croatia as intensive, and he congratulated Croatia on its preparations for the EU Presidency in the first half of 2020.
Rinkevics expressed certainty that Latvia and the Holy See were enjoying very good relations. We are honored and greatly appreciative of the visit by Pope Francis to Latvia on 24 September last year, said the minister while emphasizing that the visit had been a historic one, with a great symbolic meaning. Rinkevics thanked the Papal Nuncio for his great contribution to the organizations of His Holiness' visit.
The Latvian foreign minister noted that Latvia and the Great Principality of Luxembourg have excellent bilateral relations and an intensive political dialogue at all levels, as well as close cooperation in the EU and NATO. The minister also voiced hope that Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg would visit Latvia the present year, which was expected to offer an additional impetus to dynamizing economic cooperation and developing joint projects between both countries.
The minister praised the bilateral Latvian-Austrian cooperation and expressed admiration about the major input by the Embassy to the relations between the two countries regardless of its limited capacity.
The foreign minister commended the friendly relations with Slovenia and offered thanks for the participation of Slovenian soldiers in the NATO battle group in Latvia.
"Latvia would like to intensify the political dialogue with Armenia, develop cooperation between line ministries and parliamentary contacts. The potential of economic cooperation is still underutilized. We appreciate the process of parliamentary elections held in Armenia last December. We hope that Armenia will soon have an officially approved government, which will move ahead with reforms in the justice sector and in the areas of anti-corruption, good governance and economy, as well as working on the implementation of the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement," said the Latvian foreign minister.
"Latvia highly values the political dialogue with Vietnam. Political consultations between the Foreign Ministries of Latvia and Vietnam held on 12 June 2018 in Hanoi was yet another proof to positive and constructive relationship. To uphold an active exchange of opinions and dialogue, we invite the Vietnamese side to political consultations in Riga this year," said the foreign minister.
Rinkevics noted that Latvia was interested in setting up political dialogue and economic cooperation with Tajikistan, especially in the transit, logistics and transport sectors.
"We are interested in expanding bilateral political contacts with Palestine. We appreciate the successful cooperation with the Mission of Palestine in Helsinki and the contribution of the Head of Mission, Taissir Al Adjouri, to the development of bilateral relations," Rinkevics underlined.
The minister commended the bilateral relations between Latvia and Morocco, and he expressed the wish to expand bilateral economic cooperation in the food and timber processing sectors.
Referring to the state of affairs in Afghanistan, Rinkevics expressed support for the efforts of the Afghan government to ensure security, stability and development in the country in the long term, as well striving to achieve the engagement of the Taliban in the political dialogue. Latvia believes that the peace process should take place so as to consolidate the principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law and avoid undermining the accomplishments in the strengthening of the education system and public administration institutions.
Rinkevics highlighted Latvia's interest in expanding and diversifying trade relations with Saudi Arabia, as well as developing a bilateral political dialogue through political consultations.
During the meeting, the minister invited Namibia to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on political consultations between Latvia and Namibia to define effectively the areas of common interest.
The Latvian foreign minister welcomed non-resident Ambassadors to Latvia from the Republic of Armenia, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Republic of Romania, the Holy See, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Namibia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Tajikistan, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Palestine, the Republic of Croatia, and the Kingdom of Morocco.

…or does Herts house more stars?
On behalf of Attwaters Jameson Hill posted in Private Wealth on Friday, November 8th, 2019
Our last blog on celebrities making Essex their home named several West Ham players, as well as former Amstrad boss and Spurs owner Lord Alan Sugar, but there's more to life than football, isn't there? Now it's Herts' turn to come under light-hearted scrutiny and perhaps take us into different realms of fame and spotlight with some female high-achievers.
Upstaging the Noble Lord is a challenge alright, but with Elstree Studios in the county and good transport links to central London, there must be dozens of celebrities drawn to that area. It's the home of Strictly Come Dancing, The Voice and Who Wants to be a Millionaire? so which stars have made their homes in neighbouring hotspots such as Radlett and (historically in Herts, now just within Greater London) Hadley Wood and Totteridge?
According to estate agent Foxtons, this area on the boundary of Herts and the London Borough of Barnet has been home to numerous celebs. The agent's research highlighted such familiar names as Zayn Malik of One Direction, erstwhile Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Spice Girl turned radio host Emma Bunton as owning properties there. That is quite a line-up, but other famous folk have chosen homes a little bit deeper into Herts.
Singer and TV star Cheryl lived at an ultra-luxury sustainable home near Radlett, reportedly moving out a while ago to be with Liam Payne of One Direction – but for the latest on all that you might try the pages of Hello! Let's move swiftly back to football, and England forward Theo Walcott. When playing for Arsenal, he bought a grand-designs-style extended chapel near Bramfield, a few miles from our Hertford office, reportedly putting it up for sale at £4.5m after signing for Everton.
So, which county has more celebrity wealth than the other? A billionaire TV-star lord is hard to beat, but maybe Emma Bunton and Cheryl make a winning duo. More evidence would be useful, but not all celebrities advertise their whereabouts, preferring to avoid unwelcome attention from fans when they aren't working. We suspect that dozens of household names have settled in exclusive areas of Essex and Herts. They deserve privacy, so maybe we'll never get a firm answer. So, your decision!

Android News / All News / Samsung Officially Announces the Galaxy S6 Edge at Mobile World Congress 2015
Samsung Officially Announces the Galaxy S6 Edge at Mobile World Congress 2015
By Tom Dawson
For a long, long time now we've been hearing about the Galaxy S6 Edge, a variant of the Galaxy S6 with two curved edges, just like the Galaxy Note Edge from last Fall. Well, just as we expected, the Galaxy S6 Edge is most definitely a thing, and it's most definitely very similar to the Galaxy S6 itself. Just like the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge is developed from metal and Gorilla Glass 4, and it's no wonder why Samsung has said it's taken them years to design this fresh design; it sure looks pretty special.
The same 5.1-inch Quad HD display with 577ppi is here, complete with Super AMOLED technology, this time around though it's wrapped around the whole front panel, which curves around the left and right-hand sides. Just like the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge is super-thin and it features wireless charging out of the box, supporting both the WPC and P4A wireless charging standards, which is basically the sort of charging using in Starbucks. This battery can be charged for just 10 minutes to get 4 hours of battery life, which is really quite impressive. As a result though, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge feature built-in batteries, rather than the hose that used to be removable in the past.
The Galaxy S6 Edge features a few extra goodies, like a UI that curves and spills out over the both the left and right-hand sides of the display. It's built using the same metal construction and Gorilla Glass 4 as the Galaxy S6 and shares much of the DNA of the Galaxy S6, including the same specs. However, there's a slightly larger battery here at 2,600 mAh vs 2,550 mAh. It's an interesting product overall, but it doesn't look like Samsung has taken the Dual Edge display as far as they could have here, and I'm intrigued to see just what Samsung have done with it. We'll have hands-on with the Galaxy S6 Edge soon, and if we find anything else, we'll be sure to let you know what's different.

In Olympics
Coverage of the Sydney Olympics
One factoid that is often repeated during coverage of the Sydney Olympics is that at least one of the colours of the five rings of the Olympic flag can be found in the flag of every nation (the colours are blue, yellow, black, green and red).
This is the sort of challenge that World Link can't resist. It sounds plausible, but largely untested. A quick survey of the office this morning rapidly produced a refutation: take a look at the flag of Qatar. Unless the International Olympic Committee wants to stretch a point (something that is entirely possible), white and maroon are not in the Olympic rings. There may well be other flags that defy this common wisdom.
Qatari flag: Flag of Qatar
Coincidentally, Qatar is one of the nations that seems to be taking advantage of a very lax nationality requirement in Olympic weightlifting. According to the BBC, the four Qatari weightlifters were purchased from Bulgaria for a rumoured $1 million. Even host Australia is party to this nonsense: its squad includes a few stars lifted from a needy Armenia.
There is a great Olympic precedent for this bizarre migrant labour market. The greatest ever weightlifter, Naim Suleymanoglu, the "Pocket Hercules", transferred from then-communist Bulgaria (his name was Sulmanov) to Turkey just in time to win gold in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
Sadly, Suleymanoglu failed to win his fourth consecutive gold in this Olympics. But the precedent of his nationality shopping lives on.
Not to go on about it, but…
What is it about weightlifting? No sooner is the nationality game uncovered than perhaps the most sordid moment of the Olympics mars this odd sport. Romania's weightlifters have been reinstated for the Games by paying a fine for their doping offenses. Some of us may recall that the athletes' oath, recited at the opening ceremony, promised a drugs-free Games. It was also a Kazakh weightlifting official that Australians tried to prevent from entering the country because of an alleged criminal record.

What a great day. We were lucky enough to have Tanya Batt visit with us all day, and the kids loved her dynamic storytelling and all of the experiences she had to share. One thing I was particularly impressed with was Tanya's ability to switch gears and tailor her sessions to work with quite a broad range of students – from three year olds in the early learning centre right up to ninth grade high schoolers. I think that we'll have some budding storytellers in our midst, and hopefully the experience will be a lasting one for our students.
On a bit of a tangent, this is one large blow against technology. I really don't think that you can duplicate these kinds of experiences through video conferencing or the like. I think there will always be a certain level of personal interaction that can never be replicated by technology, and seeing the kids so engaged today really reinforced that idea.
We've got Tanya Batt with us today to speak to our early learning, elementary and grade nine students. It should be a good day, and I hope our kids enjoy their time with her. I'll post some reflections and photos of our day later.


Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians will develop cancer and 1 in 8 Canadian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The treatments recommended by mainstream medical doctors consist of some combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, all of which have side-effects. What few doctors and patients realize is that evidence–based complementary therapies are available that create an internal environment unfavourable for cancer growth, that boost the immune system and minimize side-effects of conventional treatments. These complementary modalities include, but are not limited to, (1) a ketogenic diet; (2) selected botanicals and nutritional supplements; (3) detoxification via saunas, colonics, and dental work; (4) hyperthermia with Rife frequencies; (5) low level light/laser therapy (LLLT); (6) UV light therapy; (7) high dose vitamin C; (8) ozone therapy; (9) pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy; and (10) bioresonance therapy. The evidence–based research for these treatments will be presented. These complementary therapies can play an important role in preventative health care for chronic illness and, ideally, should be part of an integrative system of health care for the treatment of cancer.


A comptroller audit finds the money was spent in a no-bid contract.
A Long Island fire department is under fire from state auditors for its purchase of a race vehicle in a no-bid contract, the News 4 I-Team has learned.
The race truck is actually a vehicle used to compete in so-called "drill team" competitions – contests where volunteer firefighters hang onto the backs of the speeding cars and trucks, then jump off to see who can deploy a ladder and climb it the fastest.
According to a report by the state comptroller, the Farmingville Volunteer Fire District agreed to pay $49,000 for a race truck in 2004. The purchase was made in a series of installments, with more than $30,000 paid before any product was received.
Farmingville is not alone in spending tax dollars on racing equipment.
The Manhasset-Lakeville Fire District spent $171,000 on competitive racing from 2000 to 2006, the West Islip Fire District spent $314,000 from 1998 to 2006, and West Sayville-Oakdale Fire District spent $467,000 from 2000 to 2006, according to data from the comptroller.
The Syosset Fire District had spent $52,000 from 1998 to 2006, when its board voted to discontinue funding the competitive racing team.
"I just think that if it's unnecessary and it's not being used to save people's lives then it's not needed and our money shouldn't go into it," said Farmingville resident Elizabeth Rodriguez.
Long Island volunteer fire companies have a long tradition of racing competitions. Departments have defended the use of tax dollars to purchase race vehicles and equipment, saying the competitions build camaraderie and help attract volunteers.
Farmingville's team is called the "Bandits" and their equipment includes a tractor-trailer to transport racing vehicles and a passenger bus to transport the volunteers to and from competitions.
The state audit raised other spending questions, including $7,700 in gasoline purchased but not accounted for in department records.
The $7,700 equals more than 30 percent of the fire district's total fuel bill.
The chairman of the Farmingville Fire District, Stephen Curtin, said in a statement that he could not comment because of pending litigation on the matter.
DiNapoli's audit also noted several other Farmingville Fire District purchases that were not done through proper competitive bids, totaling $59,488.
Purchases included, among other things, furniture at $15,492, jackets for $13,320 and a radio console for $20,485.
