Eda Haredit threatens to boycott Hadassah Hospital; 3-year-old son in serious condition, weighing 7 kg.
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS, JPOST.COM STAFF
Several dozen haredim on Wednesday blocked traffic on Rehov Bar-Ilan, Rehov Yehezkel and Kikar Hashabat with burning garbage bins, protesting the arrest of a Jerusalem woman apparently suffering from a psychiatric disorder, who allegedly near-starved her three-year-old son to death.
Police were at the scene.
Earlier on Wednesday, Yoel Kraus, the 'operations officer' of the staunchly anti-Zionist haredi communal organization, threatened on Army Radio that "Jerusalem's 'Eda Haredit' will boycott Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital, since its medical team fabricates libels against our community members and abuses them."
The mother of four, a member of the extreme Neturei Karta hassidic sect in Jerusalem who is five months pregnant, is suspected of severely abusing her child over the past two years, until he weighed a mere 7 kilograms, according to police investigators.
She was arrested last week during a meeting with a social worker and was remanded in custody for five days by the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Tuesday - her second remand hearing since her arrest - as police pursue the investigation.
A court gag order was lifted Tuesday afternoon, although the suspect's name cannot be published due to the involvement of minors in the case.
In response, scores of haredi protesters took to the streets Tuesday night, setting garbage bins on fire on Rehov Bar-Ilan and in the Mea She'arim neighborhood, snarling traffic in the area, Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
A man who tried to move a burning garbage bin from the street was lightly injured when he was hit in the head by a stone. The man was taken to Jerusalem's Hadassah-University Hospital at Mount Scopus.
The young boy, who is also hospitalized at Hadassah-University Hospital in serious condition, has been in and out of hospitals seven times over the past two years, suffering from high fever, vomiting, inflamed oral wounds and severe weight loss, police told a Jerusalem court during the remand hearing.
A series of medical tests subsequently performed by hospital surgeons to determine why the toddler could not eat or drink did not uncover any internal problems, the police said. In addition to severe malnutrition, the child was found to be suffering from hair loss.
After all the tests came out negative, medical staffers who treated the boy for what seemed to be "failure to thrive" began to suspect the child was in fact being abused by his mother.
Dr. Yair Birnbaum, deputy director-general of the Hadassah Medical Organization, said that after noting that the symptoms did not result from a physical disease they had become more and more convinced that the problem was intentional abuse.
Then, after efforts to feed the child intravenously during one of his hospitalizations failed, security cameras installed in the room revealed that the mother had in fact disconnected the feeding tubes, and in some instances poured unknown substances into the tube, the police said.
The hospital then contacted welfare authorities, who did not have any previous record against her - though at least one doctor who had treated the child had suspected that he was being mistreated.
The woman, a Mea She'arim resident, apparently suffers from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychiatric disorder wherein those affected abuse someone else, typically a child, in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves.
In the rare syndrome, an individual - usually a mother - deliberately makes another person - generally her own preschool child - sick or convinces others that the person is sick. The parent or caregiver misleads others into thinking that the child has medical problems by lying and reporting fictitious episodes.
The perpetrators usually derive satisfaction from gaining the attention and sympathy of doctors, nurses and others who come into contact with them or possibly from being able to deceive people they consider to be more important and powerful than themselves.
The child's health has improved since he was separated from his mother, the court was told. Although still hospitalized in serious condition, he is now able to eat normally without vomiting and has gained 20 percent of his body weight.
The woman is not cooperating with police, nor is her husband, a yeshiva student, who is now at home with their other children.
The boy's father, who was at the court remand hearing, claimed he didn't know about his wife's actions.
Police are investigating whether any of the couple's other children were similarly abused.
The police investigation of the children is compounded by the fact that they do not speak Hebrew.
The news of the woman's arrest sparked renewed rioting Tuesday night by members of the extremist haredi organization, which has been leading violent, month-old protests against the opening of a parking lot in the city on Saturdays.
On Sunday, haredim torched the neighborhood welfare office to protest the fact that the suspect was arrested there.
It was not immediately clear if the arrest in the abuse case within the community would further inflame the Sabbath protests.
At the urging of the defense, the court told prison officials to take into account that the alleged child abuser was five months pregnant, ate only food certified kosher by the Eda Haredit organization and had difficulty residing among smokers.
The case came on the heels of two separate severe child abuse cases uncovered in Israel last year.

Well, I had written the post a while ago and I think the reason why I am posting this is because I have changed views about the city. Dilli, if you define, has no identity of its own. The special feature about Delhi is that it derives a large part of its identity from the people migrating from different places to settle in the city. Since it is cosmopolitan in nature, you can surely find people of different cultures, customs residing together. People of all colors, all styles reside in a commonplace called Delhi. If I state Delhi's identity, I would say that the main identity of the city is that it has so many various people all with their own unique cultures living by the side of River Yamuna.
Since the city of Delhi has a lot of Punjabi population, the lingo here is a metamorphic Punjabi. Ho Jaega Ji, Tu jaanta Nahi main kaun hu etc are very typical of the city.the lingo of Delhi provides a base or a foundation to Delhi's diversity. Some of the changes grew with time and some I will incorporate in the next time's post. Enjoy!

Artificial trans fats can be formed when oil goes through a process called hydrogenation, which makes the oil more solid (known as hardening). This type of fat, known as hydrogenated fat, can be used for frying or as an ingredient in processed foods.
Artificial trans fats can be found in some processed foods such as biscuits and cakes, where they are sometimes used to help give products a longer shelf life. However, in recent years many food manufacturers have removed trans fats from their products.
Trans fats can also be found naturally in some foods at low levels, such as those from animals, including meat and dairy products.
Consuming a diet high in trans fats can lead to high cholesterol levels in the blood, which can cause health conditions such as heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. However, most people in the UK don't eat a lot of trans fats.
We eat about half the recommended maximum of trans fats on average, which is why the more commonly eaten saturated fat is considered a bigger health risk. For more information, see Is saturated fat bad for me?

No. 14 Michigan State wary of scrappy last-place Northwestern
East Lansing — It’s been said over and over this season — there are no easy games in the Big Ten.
That’s hard to argue when taking a glance at the standings and comparing them to the rankings, especially those that matter to the NCAA Tournament selection committee. The teams are jumbled tight in the race for a conference title and 12 of the Big Ten’s 14 teams are slotted No. 44 or better in the most recent NET rankings.
So, no, there aren’t many gimmies in the Big Ten, even when last-place Northwestern is coming to town. At least, that’s the way No. 14 Michigan State is approaching its 6:30 tip-off on Wednesday night at the Breslin Center after completing a two-game road swing last week with a loss at Indiana and a win at Minnesota.
“Coming back here concerns me,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said of the second meeting with the Wildcats. “We won the first game by five, but they've gotten stronger and better since that game. I think we've gotten better.
“But anytime you have a home game against a team you've beaten and has struggled a little bit, it's a trap game. So I'm concerned that they're a dangerous team that played Illinois to the buzzer. They played Maryland to kind of the buzzer and they lost the tough game last week to Ohio State.”
While the Wildcats have been coming close, Michigan State (15-5,7-2 Big Ten) has had to figure some things out on the road since they won at Northwestern on Dec. 18. The 29-point loss to Purdue was an eye-opener followed by another slow start last week at Indiana. However, the Spartans fought back to take a second-half lead against the Hoosiers and then won by 18 at Minnesota.
Now the key is to not overlook Northwestern (6-13, 1-8), a team that has won just once in its last 10 games and hasn’t beaten Michigan State since 2012.
Still, the Spartans insist there will be no looking past the Wildcats.
“You’ve got to come with your best each and every night,” senior guard Cassius Winston said, “and if you don’t, you’re liable to get beat.”
The fact that winning any conference game is tough is certainly a factor. In conference play, there are few secrets and there’s also the idea that it’s tough to sweep teams in a single season.
It all has the Spartans wary of the rematch.
“They know us and we know them,” sophomore guard Aaron Henry said. “We already played them earlier in the season and there’s probably gonna be some get-back to them because you beat them on their home court. So we’ve got to look at it like that, and even though they're at the bottom of the league, that's not something we can look at. Every team in Big Ten is good and anybody can lose to anybody.
“So you can look at it like that for them and they've been in almost every game that they lost. So we’ve got to come prepared.”
Whether that means Henry coming off the bench remains to be seen.
At Minnesota on Sunday, Izzo shuffled his lineup, inserting Rocket Watts into the starting lineup for Henry while bringing Malik Hall in for Marcus Bingham.
It was the first time this season Henry did not start when he played and he scored nine points, had four rebounds and four steals.
“Aaron, I think responded really well coming off the bench,” Izzo said. “And yet I'm still looking for that consistency out of him.
“I think I know where I'm going to go with the lineup. But again, it’s no big secret but Aaron is more than worthy of being a starter, so that doesn't mean everything. But Aaron, if we get through to Aaron, we're going to go from good to great.”
Henry understands that as well as anyone. Winston seems to have broken out of a mini-slump and Xavier Tillman has been what Izzo called Michigan State’s “most consistent” player.
But if Henry continues to progress, there seems to be no limit to where Michigan State’s season goes from here. The Spartans are tied for first place with Illinois and the Northwestern matchup marks the halfway point of the Big Ten season.
The title won’t be handed to the Spartans. They know that. But Henry’s progression could be the turning point in a conference race that promises to go down to the wire.
“Just realizing that we were going to get everybody's best game and we got to match that intensity from the jump,” Henry said when asked what last week proved. “We’ve got to bring our own (energy). We want teams to match ours instead of us matching theirs. We don't want to be the team that is depending on how they play. It’s how we play. We want to separate ourselves, and that's what coach keeps emphasizing.”
Northwestern at No. 14 Michigan State
Tip-off: 6:30 Wednesday, Breslin Center, East Lansing
Records: Northwestern 6-13, 1-8; Michigan State 15-5, 7-2
Outlook: Northwestern’s Boo Buie came off the bench to score 26 in the last meeting. He is one of three Big Ten players to come off the bench to score at least 26 points in a game but the only freshman to accomplish this feat this season. … Northwestern's underclassmen account for 76.8 percent of the Wildcats scoring this season. … Freshman Miller Kopp has scored 15 or more in five straight games.

Bulldogs soccer team earns first win of seasonMurphy Bulldogs, Sports, Team FYN Sports September 17, 2019
MURPHY, NC – Despite facing a team with twice the players and losing one of their own to injury in the first half, the Murphy High boys soccer team earned a 2-1 win against Tallulah Falls at home Monday, Sept. 16.
The win was the first on the season for the Bulldogs (1-1) and came courtesy of gritty play and two goals from junior Kenneth Parker.
Parker scored his first goal early, finding the back of the net in just the second minute.
Much later, with the score even at a goal each and less than six minutes left in regulation, Parker again found the net for his second strike to push the Bulldogs into the lead.
Murphy was without junior forward Luke Ritz in the second half. Ritz left the game in the 16th minute due a severe ankle injury.
After Ritz’s exit, the Bulldogs found their total roster down to just 11, leaving no substitutions available for first-year head coach Justin Butler.
After a long delay in which Ritz was taken off by ambulance, Butler said he was proud of how
his team played with just 11 players for the remaining 65 minutes of the game.
“They played fantastic. They dug deep and continued to play hard, and it paid off with a goal late in the game and a well-earned win,” Butler said.
Ritz was diagnosed with a broken ankle and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
“I have one (player) that was not able to suit up that will be with us normally, and one or two more that may be joining us,” Butler said of his short-staffed squad.
The Bulldogs will need to add to the roster if they hope to improve upon a 4-9 overall record, 3-7 in the conference, from a season ago.
Murphy next plays on the road at Franklin, beginning at 6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 19.
The Bulldogs are slated to open play in the 1-A Smoky Mountain Conference against Hayesville at home Sept. 25.

Murphy Baseball Opens Conference Play With a WMurphy High, Sports March 14, 2019
The Dogs bats were hot on Tuesday as they piled on the runs against conference foe Hiwassee Dam. They racked up 17 runs on 14 total hits and won the game by mercy rule, 17-1.
Dawson Hensley started the game on the mound and was flashing some filthy stuff, striking out seven and only allowing one run on three hits through the 3 innings he pitched. Hensley’s day didn’t end on the mound however as he drove in 4 runs on 3 hits, coming up a double short of the cycle, hitting a triple in the second, a single in the third, and a home run in the fourth.
In the bottom of the fourth, head coach Adam Clonts gave Elijah Davis the opportunity to see his first Varsity at bat and he made the most of it with a sacrifice fly out to left center, scoring Briggs Cornwell and allowing Eli’s name to be etched in the scorebooks for the first time.
Lucas Barolet, Briggs Cornwell, Dawson Hensley, Jesse Kephart, and Kellen Rumfelt all had multiple hit outings for the Bulldogs. The Dogs are set to play another conference game against Robbinsville on Friday March 15th, weather permitting.
Lady Bulldogs AdvanceTeam FYN Sports March 4, 2019
The 6th seed Alleghany Lady Trojans (17-11) traveled all the way from Sparta, North Carolina to the cozy mountains of Murphy on Saturday night to kick off the craziness that is March Madness and face the 3rd seed Murphy Lady Bulldogs (24-4) in the 3rd round of the NCHSAA 1a State Playoffs.
The Lady Bulldogs came out of the gates hot, winning the tip and finding Brianna Moore for the easy lay up as the Lady dogs pulled ahead early. After some back and forth between the two teams, Murphy’s Kaiya Pickens drills a 3 in the face of Alleghany’s Abigail Keesling to give the Bulldogs a 17-6 lead with 2 and a half minutes left in the 1st. Murphy’s Head Coach Ray Gutierrez implicated a full court press in the early ongoing and Brianna Moore made it worth his while, forcing a turnover and scoring another bucket, adding to Murphy’s 21-6 lead with a little over a minute left in the first period of play. After the Lady Trojans force a turnover, Abigail Keesling converts an easy lay-in to end the first quarter and cut into the Bulldogs lead making it 25-12.
The lady Trojans knowing they have some work to do, come out firing to start the second half and make it a 10 point game with 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. This sparks a scoring run for the Bulldogs as Sydni Addison hits a 3 with under 3 minutes left in the half to make it 39-20. The bulldogs keep that same intensity down the stretch and end the half with a 23 point lead, 49-26. The 3rd quarter is more of the same as the Dogs keep piling it on, 71-31.
In the 4th the Lady Trojans initiate a full court press which leads to a couple of Bulldog turnovers and ignite an Alleghany run trimming the Bulldog lead 75-43 with just under 6 minutes left in the contest. Finally, Sydni Addison bangs in another 3 pointer to end Murphy’s scoring drought. With the drought ended, Coach Gutierrez subs in a wave of younger Bulldogs to allow them to gain some experience and earn some playing time and Taylor Phillips did just that, pulling a 3 that rolls around and around the rim until it finally falls, giving the Bulldogs a commanding 83-57 lead with just under a minute left.
The Lady Bulldogs end the game victorious 84-57 advancing to the fourth round as they travel to Avery County on Tuesday March 5th, to face the number 2 seed Lady Vikings in the Elite 8 of the NCHSAA 1a State Playoffs. The Bulldogs had 4 players in double figures, with Junior Sarah Pullium leading the way with 20 points, Junior Sydni Addison with 18, Freshman Torin Rodgers with 16 and Senior Aubrey Clapsaddle with 10.

Murphy Lady Bulldogs break Cherokee’s 30-game streakMurphy Bulldogs, Team FYN Sports January 28, 2018
The Murphy Lady Bulldogs have been nothing short of legendary this season, but that’s nothing new for them. Last year the varsity girls went 26-2, falling by only one point in the Elite 8 to the eventual state champions.
“I couldn’t ask for a better team. They work extremely hard and do everything asked of them,” Murphy head coach Ray Gutierrez told TeamFYNSports last week. This week was no exception.
The Lady Bulldogs (18-1, 7-0) kicked last week off with a 52-32 win on the road at Hayesville, followed by a 74-26 road win over Andrews.
Sydni Addison, the ball hawk of the night, had seven steals on defense, scored six points and pulled in seven rebounds.
How do you beat two great wins on the road? You turn around and win two big games back-to-back at home.
How do you beat a 19-90 road win over Nantahala (Topton, NC)? You hold them under 10 points of offense.
On Friday, Nantahala took a rough road trip down to Murphy only to leave with their lowest offensive performance of the season. The Lady Bulldogs (wo)man-handled the Lady Hawks, coming away with a 77-8 home win, their 17th team victory of the season. They knew Saturday night’s game would be a true test.
Following the huge win over Nantahala, the Braves of Cherokee High (then 10-4, 7-0), came to Murphy for the matchup the entire state of North Carolina has been waiting to see.
“Cherokee had won 30 straight regular season conference games,” coach Gutierrez said of their opponent. “The gym was packed and both teams played their guts out. It was a great atmosphere for a basketball game.”
The first quarter was a close one – much closer than many of the games Murphy has played this season – with the Lady Bulldogs holding only a 4-point margin over the Braves, 18-14. The Lady Bulldogs, who average more than 60-points per game, were hitting their usual offensive numbers; but the Braves’ offense was up to the task early-on, making this game a true challenge for Murphy.
By halftime, Murphy had extended their lead by only one point. Trailing by five (43-38), the Braves were still in a dangerous position and neither team was a sure victor. Sharpshooters Clapsaddle and Pickens refused to leave the game in anyone’s hands other than their own. The two combined for 8-of-11 3-point attempts, combining for 31% of the total points for the Lady Bulldogs.
In the end, the Lady Bulldogs held on to defeat the Cherokee Braves 77-74, giving the Braves their first conference loss of the season (breaking a 30-game streak).
Clapsaddle scored 30 points, while Pickens had 14. Beckner scored 12 points in the game while Thompson scored nine points, Bri Moore had six, Martin scored four points and Addison scored a basket for two. Addison led the team with rebounds (8), while Beckner also pulled in eight boards, three offensively and five on defense.
Lady Bulldogs 76, Lumpkin Co 55Murphy Bulldogs, Murphy High, Team FYN Sports December 28, 2017
The Murphy Lady Bulldogs can play, folks. They opened the Battle of the States tournament at Towns County High School against a quality opponent, the Lumpkin County Lady Indians. Lumpkin (4-4, 1-1) was coming off a big 51-24 win at home against Mt Zion, after a tough 2-pt loss at Gilmer. Lumpkin’s biggest win of the season so far was against region rival Dawson County (46-39). The fact of the matter is – Lumpkin County is no push-over.
All that being said, Murphy’s varsity girls (6-1, 1-0) may carry the most talented roster TeamFYNSports has seen step onto a basketball court.
Nine different Lady Dawgs scored in the game, as Murphy head coach Ray Gutierrez worked to spread the playing time among his elite corps of hoopsters. Murphy senior Jessica Beckner was easily the TeamFYNSports player of the game, as she scored 24 points with 9 field goals and she went 6-of-7 from the free throw line.
Junior Ellie Martin, one of three Lady Dawgs to hit shots from beyond the perimeter, was the second-leading scorer with 12 points, two of her baskets coming from outside the arch.
Juniors Aubrey Clapsaddle and Bri Moore each scored 8 points in the game, followed by sophomore Sydni Addison and senior Hailey Thompson with 7 points each. Freshman Kaiya Pickens scored 6 points in the game. Senior Brittin Johnson and freshman Sarah Pulliam each scored 2 points for Murphy, respectively.
The first quarter was all Murphy – scoring 21 points and holding Lumpkin to only two points of offense, both points coming by way of free throws made by Raven Chester of the Lady Indians. With a 21-2 first quarter, most expected this game to be over before it even began.
However, the Lady Indians’ offense came alive in the 2nd quarter, ignited behind the effort by Karlee Armstrong, who hit two 3’s and a field goal to put up 8 of Lumpkin’s 18 points. Makenzie Caldwell hit a three-pointer and Clara White put up six points in the effort as Lumpkin fought to challenge Murphy’s dominant start.
Murphy’s offense was as consistent and accurate in the 2nd as it was in the 1st quarter, despite the offensive push-back by Lumpkin County. The Lady Dawgs put up 21 points (again) and led 42-20 going into the locker room at halftime.
Throughout the second half, both teams saw surges in which Murphy would increase their lead, followed by Lumpkin patiently chopping away at it. Ultimately, the margin would prove too great for the Lady Indians to overcome.
Murphy won the game by a final score of 76-55, advancing to face Union County in the second round, Thursday afternoon. Lumpkin’s varsity girls moved to the other side of the bracket, facing Darlington (GA) Thursday morning.

There was an Electrical Storm in Murphy Friday NightMurphy Bulldogs, Team FYN Sports September 17, 2017
As the clouds made their way towards the stadium, so did the die hard Murphy Bulldog family. An hour before the game the seats started to fill, the atmosphere started to gain more, and more power.
20 minutes before kick-off, the “Youth Dogs”, the younger Bulldogs, were on the field awaiting their champions, the clouds began to scatter, yet the Thunder remained, the thunderous 12th man were ready for a battle against the Bobcats of Gilmer. The starters were announced, and the lightning was unleashed.
The Gilmer Bobcats won the coin toss and that was all they were going to win on this glorious evening under the bright Friday Night Lights on David Gentry field. Bobcats defer, game on. The stage has been set, Gilmer kicks the ball to Murphy, and so it has begun.
“Captain” Curry, play-action fake, looks right, looks left, the electricity in his arm gathers strength, he reaches back, and fires a lighting bolt pass 30-yards down the field to his wide-receiver Travis “The Atlantic Lighting” Seabolt racing down the sideline, he catches the pass with both hands, taking it in for a 58-yard touchdown reception! “Miss Automatic” Katelyn Jones misses the extra point, shrugs it off, Dogs up 6-zip two plays in to the game.
They say lighting doesn’t strike the same spot twice, they were wrong! The thunderous 12th man exploded as “Captain” Curry found “The Atlantic Lighting” Seabolt for their second connection of the game. The atmosphere is electric, the Bulldogs are running on a fully charged mega-battery not of this world. Jones forces the pig skin through the uprights, bringing us to a 13-0 Bulldogs early 1st quarter lead.
The Murphy Bulldogs defense was in complete control of the Gilmer offense. After forcing the Bobcats to punt the football, Murphy marches down the field into the Bobcats redzone. “It’s not marble, it’s Slade” McTaggart gets the ball, hits the hole, breaks it outside, and bolts into the endzone from 16-yards out leaving the Bobcats in a cloud of static electricity and disbelief. Bulldogs go up by 20 still in the 1st quarter of play.
The combination of a lightning fast football team, and a thunderous 12th man leads to mistakes, Gilmer fumbles, and Bulldog Cory “Mad Cow” Farmer recovers the ball for a Bulldogs, first down! Threatening from just inside the redzone, Kadrian McRae electromagnetically teleports himself into the endzone, if you blinked, you missed him. 20-yard rushing touchdown for McRae, get that man a sandwich!
They were giving out lighting bolts for lunch at Murphy High School on Friday, clearly McRae had seconds, McRae strikes again, cuts right, turns up field, holds down the turbo boost button, and he was gone. 23-yards and 1.5 seconds later he was in for 6. “Miss Automatic” Jones hits the extra point, it’s 34-0 Bulldogs and it’s not even halftime yet. Get Gilmer some electrical tape for their gloves, Bulldogs are shocking.
The offensive line was a hurricane force thunderstorm Friday night, and the Bobcats had no choice but to seek shelter. Devonte “Show me the Murray” Murray, behind #HurricaneOffensiveLine, tidal waves it in from 23-yards out with ease to put the dogs up 41-0 after the successful extra point try by Jones.
More Bulldogs defense causing all kinds of problems for the Bobcats, Bulldogs get the ball back, and “it’s not marble, it’s Slade” McTaggart rumbles his way in from 15 yards out, boarding up the last of Gilmer’s windows. We hope the Bobcats have plenty of water and canned goods for the ride home, this Bulldogs Thunderstorm was too much for the Bobcats. The Bulldogs send in the pups to wrap up the second half, and that would be the final score of the game.
Smokey Mountain Conference play starts next week with Robbinsville coming to town this Friday.
Expect more of the same intensity, if not more, out of the Bulldogs this Friday. They have been a team possessed since their heartbreaking loss in Franklin a few weeks ago.
Curry is ready to throw the football through a mountain, and McTaggart would tackle a tornado if he had to. Check the voltage meter on the field the last two games played by the Murphy Bulldogs, the reading is off the charts!

Murphy Lady Bulldogs await first round resultsTeam FYN Sports February 18, 2018
After winning the Smoky Mountain Conference and defeating Cherokee for the Region Championship Friday night at Murphy High School, the Lady Bulldogs are victims of a “hurry up and wait” situation. They’ve tip-toed the sideline of perfection this season, suffering only one loss in conference play to the Braves, whom they beat 2-out-of-3 meetings this year.
The Lady Dawgs only other loss came all the way back on November 25, 2017 when they fell by 10 to the Cougars of Mountain Heritage (Burnsville, NC) in the Coaches vs Cancer tournament. If you’re wondering where Mountain Heritage is, shift your focus to how good they are; 23-1, 11-0 at the time of this article and ranked 203rd in the United States (8th overall in the state of North Carolina regardless of classification). They’re alright. I mean, if you’re into teams that win and all that.
Which brings us to present-day basketball, where the Lady Dawgs are stuck behind the fictional chain-link fence like a kennel of Blue Ticks waiting for a full moon.
The Lady Bulldogs are one of eight teams who have earned a first-round bye as the NCHSAA State Basketball Playoffs begin on Tuesday. Pine Lake Prep (14) will host East Surry (16) for Tuesday’s first round games, with Murphy taking on the winner in round two Thursday afternoon.
Pine Lake Preparatory School of Mooresville, NC has had an impressive season thus far, boasting a 10-2 conference record while going 18-8 overall. Competing in the PAC-7 1A conference, their two conference losses came by the hands of Union Academy (23-2, 13-0) of Monroe; and both games were decided by fewer than 10 points.
East Surry (13-12, 7-3) looks to be the underdog in the first round, barely breaking .500 on the season. The Cardinals out of Pilot Mountain finished 3rd in the 1A Northwest Conference, behind Mount Airy (22-2, 10-0) and Bishop McGuinness (15-11, 7-3).
The 2018 NCHSAA State Basketball Playoffs are set to kick off and TeamFYNSports will be following the Murphy Lady Bulldogs all the way to the championship. Be sure to follow us on facebook, instagram and twitter for updates as the post-season progresses!

I am aware basic-give that it could be difficult to help you confront instance facts. I recall a period years ago I happened to be either just going to change, or I got just transitioned, I am unable to somewhat keep in mind—once i watched a primary documentary throughout the a few trans women that have been existence lovers. I am also horribly embarrassed to say that, at the time, I was some squicked because of the the dating. The irrationality out of my personal effect was not destroyed towards the myself. At all, I am a beneficial trans woman. And i am and interested in women. So what was just about it concerning notion of are that have a good trans girl you to definitely troubled me personally so? Over the years, I came across you to definitely towards an unconscious peak, I found myself still to get for the proven fact that trans ladies have been in some way unappealing, defective, and you may illegitimate, and this are married to help you a great cis woman was in some way inherently better, or higher authentic. Once far private meditation, I got so you’re able to accept one my impulse was profoundly anti-trans. And i sooner had more my internalized transphobia, exactly as I had to get over my personal internalized homophobia the Florida sugar daddy chat brand new first-time We sexually attempted men, and just while i must beat my very own fatphobia new first time We old a beneficial differently-sized girl.
I did not produce it piece to help you vent regarding my personal matchmaking life. I-go from a good amount of dates, and I am with lots of super-fucking-super intercourse, just not which have cis girls at this time. My mission written down this part would be to highlight just how cis dykes’ unwillingness to adopt trans girls as genuine partners converts personally to the a lack of people having queer-identified trans girls. Whatsoever, queer ladies’ groups serve multiple intentions. He or she is areas where we could create associations to combat to own the liberties. They are places where we are able to select friendship and you will selected friends. However, perhaps one of the most vital attributes you to queer women’s teams serve is during providing a safe place away from heterocentric traditional in which ladies is also display attention, appeal, and you will passion on the almost every other women. Put differently, queer women’s areas fulfill our very own need for sexual recognition. Unless of course, of course, you’re good trans lady. And you may myself, with every passage 12 months, it gets harder and harder personally to carry on to take area inside the a residential district in which I’m not seen as a valid object off attract.


Intended to improve road safety and to help ease congestion on the UK’s motorway network, the tests will take place on a stretch of the M6 near Carlisle.
The idea of V2X or V2I communications isn’t new. Discussions on V2X have been around for many years, looking to create a system which can receive and deliver alerts to and from other vehicles and the surrounding infrastructure.
“Whether easing traffic congestion or improving fuel efficiency, V2X capabilities are intended to benefit both automakers and drivers alike,” suggests Maurice Geraets, senior director (automotive) at NXP. “The platforms currently under development will offer a V2X capability capable of ‘seeing’ 500m to 1km ahead, which means drivers will be safer. It will have a huge impact.”
V2X technology, intended to enable the detection of hazards beyond the driver’s line of sight, is seen as complementing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Not only does it aid drivers in terms of avoiding or being made aware of hazards – messages can include making drivers aware of blind intersection collisions, road hazards, road works, the presence of emergency vehicles, as well as traffic signals or signage indicators – it allows vehicles, as in the M6 ‘project’, to platoon together for greater efficiency; vehicles can also be rerouted based on traffic density. Significantly, V2X could help to generate significant amounts of data that could prove invaluable in terms of infrastructure planning and better road management.
According to market analysts, the V2X market, at least in Europe, is likely to be driven by retrofit equipment manufacturers, embedded device makers and telecom and wireless solutions suppliers.
Most leading OEMs and Tier 1 automotive companies have tended to view V2X as a ‘long-term’ technology as the industry looks to embrace the concept of the autonomous vehicle. For many, V2X is nothing more than ‘another sensor’, but one that can deliver greater system understanding over longer distances.
While the idea of the connected car and of V2V communications has been under development for a number of years, it has not been an easy journey from the drawing board to deployment. Concerns around security and a lack of infrastructure have combined to hold back development.
However, a number of recent announcements suggest that V2X systems are finally gaining traction.
At last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA), Continental unveiled a V2X technology that issues an audible and visual warning to alert the driver of an impending collision, providing automatic intervention only if the driver fails to observe the warning despite the probability of an accident. Other functions included an electronic brake light and what was described as a Roadworks Assistant to aid the driver.
Connected Car Compute Platform
In Geneva last month, Harman International launched the Connected Car Compute Platform, which can deliver what it described as ‘advanced vehicle intelligence, together with V2X capability’.
The platform uses NXP’s wireless RoadLINK technology to alert drivers of critical traffic situations well beyond the range of current production sensors, and allows drivers to ‘see’ around corners, as well as through traffic obstacles.
According to Gunther Kraft, VP connected car system development at Harman: “We wanted to provide drivers with an intelligent, adaptable and predictive solution in the development of a flexible and secure V2X solution as part of our compute platform. Our aim is to not only improve safety significantly, but also the driver’s comfort and convenience.”
The LIVS automotive platform provides real-time information and operates on IEEE 802.11p, a wireless communication standard that has been designed specifically for the automotive industry. It connects directly to surrounding infrastructure and vehicles in what are essentially ad-hoc networks that are determined by the vehicle’s proximity.
Security is a crucial issue and the platform is protected against illegal attacks by a hardware security module from NXP.
“For V2X to work effectively, any message that is received needs to be authenticated. The messages received are not encrypted, because all vehicles need to be able to read them,” Geraets explains. ”Instead, RoadLINK uses a digital signature to authenticate the message being received.”
The module, together with Harman’s own safety architecture, can ensure secure Over the Air updates. That ability is essential when it comes to deployment.
The V2X application software runs on NXP’s i.MX 6Solo applications processor and is intended to provide the platform with performance-scalability.
Kraft says that Harman started looking seriously at V2X systems two years ago, beginning with an assessment of the technology and how it could be deployed.
“Initially, we focused on assessing the readiness and maturity of the hardware and software available to us. We started to see customer interest in V2X in the middle of 2015, but in essence, they were looking at V2X as little more than how it could add to existing functionality.”
Much of the discussion around V2X remains focused on functionality and Kraft concedes that, while more companies are grappling with the concept, ‘government regulation would certainly provide a ‘push’ for the technology and could help to speed implementation’.
A fully deployed and secure infrastructure is a major hurdle for the adoption of V2X and many analysts believe the technology will languish unless regulators encourage it. Many also worry that, without a government mandate, the technology will not be adopted widely enough to make it financially viable.
France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Austria are expected to become the first major European nations to deploy an intelligent transportation system and pressure is growing in the US to mandate V2X by 2019.
“Whether you are looking at current use cases or future ones, the successful deployment of V2X will depend on a viable infrastructure and mass deployment,” suggests Kraft. “Will different vehicle models be able to communicate with one another and how many messages will a platform be able to be handle and will it be secure – is the data that is being sent reliable?”
Another issue holding back V2X is, apart from security and getting enough vehicles using the technology on the road, the lack of suitable business models capable of attracting infrastructure owners, although opportunities to deploy the technology in confined locations, such as logistics hubs or ports, are certainly proving of interest.
“Governments see the benefits of V2X and, in Europe, a number are implementing or looking to implement V2I investments, laying down the infrastructure necessary to encourage the automakers to invest further in this technology,” Geraets concludes. “These moves can be seen as necessary catalysts and will be crucial in driving V2X deployment in the years ahead.”

Governor Corbett's "Proposed" 2014-2015 Education Budget
Last week, the Governor unveiled his state budget proposal. I wanted to make sure that you had all of the facts about education funding, especially since many media reports made it seem like there would be a sizeable increase for our public schools. Despite the rhetoric coming from the Governor and his allies, the latest state budget proposal continues to fail to properly invest in education.
The Governor’s budget does include a limited amount of additional funding for education. However, this does not make up for three years of deep cuts to our public schools. In fact, direct classroom aid from the state remains nearly $450 million below state funding levels prior to the current Governor’s first budget. This is the legacy of the Governor slashing classroom funding by nearly $1 billion. The modest increases provided since then have disproportionally benefited wealthier school districts rather than the financially struggling schools that received the deepest cuts in his first budget.
Even this year’s increase is problematic, as it benefits wealthier school districts. See below for an analysis of the Governor’s Ready to Learn” Block Grant proposal, which is the centerpiece of his education budget. Please share it with your friends, family, and co-workers so we can get the word out about the Governor’s failure to properly invest in education.
State Senator Vincent Hughes
ANALYSIS: Ready to Learn Block Grant
The Governor’s proposed budget would provide $241 million of new funding to support a newly created Ready To Learn block grant program. This grant would be provided through a new funding formula based upon student count, aid ratio, poverty, and English proficiency.
Charter schools and cyber charter schools will receive direct grants through this block grant. The new block grant would include $1 million for small grants to high performing districts to help struggling school districts improve performance.
The problem with the new Ready To Learn Block Grant is that the Governor has changed the formula for distributing these kinds of classroom support funds. In the traditional formula, which has been in place for about 10 years, Philadelphia would have received $51.9 million of the $241 million. In the new formula that the Governor has created, the Philadelphia School District will receive $29 million. This is a loss of $22 million in potential new funding.
See the chart below to see how much other low-income school districts around the state will be losing under this new formula.

Police: Man offers to 'buy' teen girl from parents
BOSTON (AP) - Boston police have arrested a New Hampshire man they say offered cash to "buy" a 13-year-old girl from her parents before grabbing her arm in an attempted kidnapping.
Police say 20-year-old Alfred Patterson, of Raymond, approached the family near Faneuil Hall about 4:30 p.m. Sunday. After making the offer to "buy" the girl, police say he grabbed her by the arm and attempted to drag her away.
The child's father intervened and the man ran away. The man was apprehended nearby and was identified by the girl and her parents as the man who tried to kidnap her. Patterson faces arraignment Monday on charges of enticement of a child under 16 and attempted kidnapping of a child. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.

6. The Anne Frank House Kiss
In many ways, “The Fault In Our Stars” is a love story. This does not mean that the whole book is filled with romantic kissing and/or make-out scenes – quite the opposite actually. Readers of the book know that The Anne Frank House Kiss is monumental in Hazel and Gus’ relationship. It is their first kiss and it is short, sweet and unexpected.
In the novel, the other visitors of the Anne Frank House applaud because of their kiss, so hopefully this will be the same in the cinema.

Something so simple as shopping for the mistaken cabinet hardware can smash the look of the accomplished venture. We haven't even touched on cabinet hardware, lighting fixtures, sinks and taps, paint colors or appliances. There are recessed, flat paneled and raised cabinet doors. When you have a stable wall with no windows, doorways or appliances go for floor to ceiling cabinets full of drawers for storage. Cabinets have a wide number of door types. Glass fronts in nook cabinets are a popular design feature. Kitchens have so many design choices that they are literally by no means ending. It means that there is the necessity for you to pick out the paint shade that you simply would like to have for your partitions, doorways, trims, accents, and different accessories. Besides the type of flooring you utilize, you should also pick a coloration of tile, wooden or laminate in addition to texture. These areas are thus simpler to scrub since they're sheen and smooth in texture.
Each characteristic on its own has a mess of design options and the attainable mixtures are infinite. These paint finishes also provide an equally effective resistant to the possible wall stains. Then, you will need to have the time to spend to focus yourself on the collection of the paint finish since it might alter the mood that you just want to sweep into the room. Painting the residing room may very well be better off with the latex or water-primarily based paints. Firstly and basically, you should choose the hue scheme that needs to be employed in painting the living room. In case your kitchen is a big room however doesn't have loads of counter area you might want to consider adding an island for added area. Many kitchens have tiled backslashes. After getting picked the design of your cabinets that you must decide on the stain that suits your kitchen area. That is the space supplied for gatherings.
Not solely does an island adds counter area but also storage space. Counter tops are also an vital function in a kitchen. The kitchen design ideas listed above are simply the tip of the iceberg. Here are some concepts that you can keep in mind and know by coronary heart with regards to the try of painting the living room. Kitchen design ideas include features reminiscent of cabinetry, tiles, counter tops, appliances, hardware and fixtures. Put as much thought into the small options as you do the larger ones. Then, it is mostly the one which may be very much open to criticism. The usual one gallon of any paint colour may solely cowl a capability of four hundred square feet. Mix and match your coloration paint alternative with the most important furnishings in the dwelling room. Making over your living room is such a venture that it's essential watch out when attending to it.

It's more often than not the first thing that individuals discover in a kitchen. Matching appliances are very best in any kitchen. Stainless steel appliances are a favorite because they match nearly any kitchen design. Families with small kids could wish to think about black appliances since stainless steel shows fingerprints. You may additionally select from engineered stone, ceramic tile, laminates, wooden and stainless steel. The architectural details, trims, and doorways could all the time be highlighted with the gloss end such as the satin or the semi-gloss. Usually the paint finish which aren't glossy and people who give off a matte end are the very best to use. Most kitchens are accomplished with ceramic tile flooring but wooden floors and laminates are growing in recognition. Two equivalent kitchens with just one completely different function can look like very different kitchens when finished. Go for lighter coloured stains for smaller kitchens to maintain them feeling open and spacious. Quite often a kitchen with light colored cabinetry will look best with a slightly darker flooring and vice-versa.
Contrast between the cabinetry and the flooring, no matter how small, creates the illusion of depth. The format of the cabinetry is unique to every kitchen. The main characteristic in any kitchen is the cabinetry. Flooring is an integral kitchen characteristic. Measure the scale of your kitchen and determine the varieties of cabinets and where you prefer to them positioned. Ensure that the tiles utilized in your backslash compliment the flooring.

Counter tops needs to be chosen for durability in addition to appears to be like. In most situations, the residing room is one in every of the public areas of your property. Therefore, the painting of your living room issues too much. However, the doors and home windows should be employed with the acrylic paints. Each of these options comes with several design choices.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
I read the paper by Fletcher and colleagues with interest. (Gut 2004;53:168–73.)
In their earlier study,1 the group reported the existence of an unbuffered acid pocket in 60% of study subjects which extended for approximately 2 cm (median length) in the postprandial period. Furthermore, when pre and postprandial pH step up distances were measured and correlated with clips fixed to the oesophagus, this acid pocket was localised to a region “just above” the squamocolumnar junction. It would be fair to infer then, that if a pH sensor was firmly implanted just above the squamocolumnar junction, it would record a prolonged acid reflux event in the postprandial state as the probe would be continuously bathed in acid from this reservoir. This is distinct from intermittent acid reflux events due to transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations or straining.
In their more recent paper,2 greater acid exposure at the squamocolumnar junction was found compared with a site located 5 cm proximally (standardised recording point), which intuitively is not unexpected. This is especially so if DeMeesters hypothesis (which was alluded to in the manuscript) were to be accepted which proposes that the lower oesophageal sphincter, incorporating the squamocolumnar junction, opens up and becomes part of the stomach in the postprandial period. However, the authors have stated that there was no significant difference in the mean length of acid reflux episodes when both sites were compared. This appears to be at odds with the first study as one would have expected to observe a prolonged acid reflux event at the distal oesophageal recording site (that is, just above the squamocolumnar junction). However, this was not the case. In addition, presentation of data in the results section of the current study show a distinct lack of emphasis regarding the “acid pocket theory” which would lead one to assume that this was not observed. How do the authors reconcile these observations from their two studies?
We thank Dr Nandurkar for his interest in our recent papers regarding luminal acidity at the gastro-oesophageal junction following meals.
In our first study, we observed a postprandial region of high acidity in the cardia region and extending across the Z-line.1 The presence of this postprandial acid pocket at the cardia has been confirmed by two other groups2,3
In our more recent study (Gut 2004;53:168–73), we observed a high degree of acid exposure when a pH electrode was clipped to the squamous mucosa which is proximal to the Z-line.
Dr Nandurkar wondered why we did not observe more prolonged acid exposure in the second study if the postprandial acid pocket extends into the distal oesophagus. There are several reasons for the apparent differences in the two studies. The first is that the design and methodology of the two studies were different. The first study involved slowly withdrawing a pH probe at 1 cm increments every minute from the distal stomach into the oesophagus and was performed after a large fatty meal with the patient in a semirecumbent position. In contrast, the second study employed a static probe fixed to the distal oesophagus and which recorded both fasting and postprandial pH over a 24 hour ambulatory period. The difference in duration of the recording of pH in the distal oesophagus between the two studies and the differences in the relationship to food intake and in posture and mobility make it difficult to directly compare the two studies. In our second study, we did observe that the acid exposure of the most distal oesophagus was more during the postprandial period, consistent with the observations of the first study. However, we acknowledge that the duration of acid exposure of the most distal oesophagus during the postprandial period with the fixed probe was not as great as that observed in our earlier study when the probe was slowly withdrawn from the stomach into the oesophagus.
It is possible that the methodology employed in the first study could exaggerate the degree of proximal extension of the unbuffered acid pocket into the distal oesophagus. This might be due to the pH probe carrying over some acidic juice from the cardia acid pocket into the oesophagus and this taking time to be fully cleared/neutralised. It is always difficult to know the extent to which the technique used to measure physiology may be altering events.
What is clear from both of our studies and the two other groups which have undertaken similar studies is that during the postprandial period, (a) there is a region of relatively unbuffered high acidity in the proximal cardia region of the stomach and (b) this acid frequently encroaches on the distal oesophageal mucosa.1–3

August 15, 2014
With only one sophomore and 16 new players on its roster, the Cowley College women’s soccer team is likely to experience some growing pains. However, the team expects to remain competitive in the 2014 season.
After being informed the soccer program was being dropped, head women’s soccer coach Dane Straight lost several commitments and potential returning players to other schools. So, when the decision was made to reinstate the soccer programs, Straight was left scrambling to find players to fill the roster.
“I am happy we have the number of players we do considering the limited time frame we had to recruit,” Straight said. “We have a good group of young ladies that work well together.”
Elizabeth Scharping from Mulvane, Vivian Gonzalez from Converse, Texas, and Jessica Ramirez from Enid, OK are among the team’s top newcomers. While, Straight signed five players from San Elizario High School in Texas.
“The biggest thing for us will be communication,” Straight said. “A lot of these players were the best players on their high school team, but they have got to be able to trust their teammates to be able to do their job.”
Straight also hopes the team’s three goalkeepers, Sandra Urrutia, Maddie Pegorsch, and Monica Hernandez, will push each other and make for good competition amongst the group.
Sophomore midfielder Esther da Silva, the team’s lone returning player, started 11 games and saw action in all 17 games as a freshman. Straight expects her to be a leader for the young team.
“She will need to step out of her comfort zone and lead this team and show them what we expect from our athletes,” Straight said.
With 12 road games and only six home games on the schedule, the young Lady Tigers will face a daunting task.
“It will take some time to build cohesion and for us to gel on the field, but this is a competitive group of girls that don’t like to lose,” Straight said. “We will be competitive, but it will be a challenge.”
Cowley will host an Alumni Scrimmage Saturday, August 16 at 6:30 p.m. and will then scrimmage at Southwestern College in Winfield Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 5:30 p.m.
The Lady Tigers’ first regular season home game will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, August 30 when they face Northeastern Oklahoma.


Ben Bagdikian Quotes
By now, the corporations that dominate our media, like alcoholic fat cats, treat this situation as theirs by right... Their concept of a diversity of views is the full range of politics and social values from center to far right. The American audience, having been exposed to a narrowing range of ideas over the decades, often assumes that what they see and hear in the major media is all there is. It is no way to maintain a lively marketplace of ideas, which is to say it is no way to maintain a democracy.
Letting a maximum number of views be heard regularly is not just a nice philosophical notion. It is the best way any society has yet discovered to detect maladjustments quickly, to correct injustices, and to discover new ways to meet our continuing stream of novel problems that rise in a changing environment.
In the US, voters cast ballots for individual candidates who are not bound to any party program except rhetorically, and not always then. Some Republicans are more liberal than some Democrats, some libertarians are more radical than some socialists, and many local candidates run without any party identification. No American citizen can vote intelligently without knowledge of the ideas, political background, and commitments of each individual candidate.

24 hours later and nobody’s commented on the winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize?
Allow me, I’m not familiar w/ Barry’s background but I’m pretty sure he’s not from a traditional newspaper and who cares? The guy’s been straddling the illustration/cartoon/editorial world at least since the mid 90’s when I first took notice and I first got into ed. cartooning full time. Looking at his work you almost think “this was created on somebody’s kitchen table”. It’s that primitive and appeals to my own primitive approach. Anybody can buy adobe illustrator. Not everybody can perform on a black sheet of paper and some ink. Barry’s a throwback and the further back the better.
There’s no technique in his technique it’s just what you see: pen, ink, wash. But w/ a “hook” that would land Moby Dick. If you want to get picky it’s editorial illustration but who cares? It’s a refreshing take on our profession and about time an artist won this award.
(full disclosure: I don’t know and have never spoken to Barry Blitt.)
Almost forgot to congratulate my friend KAL, BORS and ALCARAZ. (I do happen to know KALand BORS.)
I will note, without judging, that the only two New Yorker finalists (Editorial Cartooning and Feature Writing) were not originally picked by the judges but were “Moved into contention by the Board.” Then those two Board nominated finalists won their respective categories.
WOW- four finalists and not one staffer…I believe this may be a first ever.
…what’s a “staffer?”
A salaried newspaper editorial cartoonist.
My list has less than three dozen currently in the U.S.
