    More than 30 hurt as Greyhound bus overturns in Ohio

    By Noreen O'Donnell

    (Reuters) - A Greyhound bus flipped over and landed on its side in an Ohio cornfield early on Saturday, injuring more than 30 people, some seriously, authorities said.

    The bus was traveling on Interstate 75, when the crash occurred at 3:48 a.m. local time in Liberty Township, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati, said Jeff Galloway, director of the Butler County, Ohio, Emergency Management Agency.

    There were 51 passengers plus the driver on board the bus, which was en route from Cincinnati to Detroit, Michigan.

    Of the injured, 28 were put into ambulances and six were airlifted to hospitals, Galloway said. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, according to a statement from the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

    As of mid-day Saturday, 16 people had been treated and released, said Alexandra Pedrini, a spokeswoman for Greyhound.

    Several people were trapped in the bus and had to be extricated by rescue workers, according to the Highway Patrol.

    The Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash, which authorities said occurred when the bus drove off the right side of the highway, striking a tree and chain link fence, then overturning and sliding to a stop in a corn field.

    Galloway said there were no signs that the bus was speeding. "No indication of anything," he said. "That's all under investigation."

    The driver, who has worked for Greyhound for 15 years and was among the injured, had been on duty for about an hour before the accident, Pedrini said. She said she could not release the driver's name nor say whether he or she had been involved in any previous accidents.

    The bus had passed a federal Department of Transportation-mandated inspection 14 days ago, she said.

    "That's something they do every 12,000 miles," she said. "Everything passed. Everything was all good to go. All of the other inspections that the bus had to go through were up to date as well."

    Japan to get world?s first cans of hot ginger ale

    September 13, 2013
    Latest Update: September 13, 2013 04:53 pm

    Coca-Cola Japan has announced plans to launch what it's calling the world?s first self-heating, carbonated beverage: hot ginger ale.

    Set to be released in time for fall, Canada Dry Hot Ginger Ale is different from the original recipe with the addition of cinnamon, apple flavorings, spices and punchier ginger extracts - a favorite autumnal flavor among Japanese consumers.

    The self-heating can was the result of four years of research, the company says. While self-heating cans of soup, coffee and tea have been readily available for years across the country, the innovation of the hot ginger ale lies in the fact that the beverage is carbonated.

    In the US, smart packaging company Hot-Can also produces self-heating cans, which work by depressing a button on the bottom of the container, gently shaking the can for about 20 seconds to activate the process, and then waiting three minutes for the beverage to heat up.

    The double chambered aluminum can works via an exothermic reaction involving water and calcium oxide.

    The result is a piping hot drink at 50-55C. According to Businessweek, Coca-Cola Japan beats Japanese beverage giant Kirin to the punch by a few weeks.

    In November, Kirin will release a warm soda dubbed Kirin No Awa, a hot apple-flavored drink that will sell at convenience stores for 130 JPY (RM 4.30). Canada Dry Hot Ginger Ale hits the Japanese market October 21 and will retail for 120 JPY (about RM 4.00). ? AFP/Relaxnews, September 13, 2013.

    Are Sports Illustrated Allegations Against OSU Still Punishable Today?

    STILLWATER, Oklahoma -

    The second installment of a Sports Illustrated investigation came out Wednesday, and includes dozens of interviews with former players - some of whom played for OSU close to a decade ago, or longer.

    In Stillwater, people are asking, if they are true, should the university have to pay for it now?

    Sports Illustrated

    In a recent sit-down interview with Oklahoma State officials, SI told them that 85 percent of the allegations in this investigation are from 2007 and before. That brings up the point - could these older allegations come back to hurt OSU?

    9/10/2013 Related Story: Sports Illustrated's Second OSU Report: The Academics

    The answer is "potentially yes."

    If and when the NCAA officially launches an investigation into the allegations against OSU, four years is the standard cutoff for potential violations.

    But the NCAA manual underlines three scenarios where they could look back beyond the statute of limitations:

    • If it affects eligibility of a current student athlete
    • If it happened more than four years ago but then continued
    • If there was blatant disregard for NCAA fundamental bylaws, including academics

    OSU has already launched its own investigation and says its taking the allegations seriously.

    "You may not be proud of what's been said about you, but we hope to make you proud about the way we dealt with it," OSU Athletic Director Mike Holder said.

    Some of the claims in the SI article go back more than a decade and involve players who are long gone and even dead. To many OSU students, that doesn't sit well.

    "I think because they're so old they don't really apply to the athletes we have now," said student Alisha Burkman. "I think the school has great morals. Everyone here I know, I think, is just trying to do their best."

    "The guys on the team shouldn't be paying for that," Sam Diacon, OSU student. "I know they're trying to link it to 'still happening,' but we'll see what else comes out of the woodwork. If it's all just old stuff, we shouldn't be punished for it."

    And a lot can happen, some say, between now and back then, that could affect the claims made in the article.

    "It's hard to know how much of it's true, how much of it is made up because someone's angry and how much of it is exaggerated whether it's intentional or not," student Josiah Meints said.

    The panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, lit. ?black and white cat-foot?) is a bear native to south central China. It is easily recognized by the large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo. The animal lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. As a result of farming, deforestation and other development, the bear has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived. The giant panda is a conservation reliant endangered species.

    New iPhones means new accessories: see the options right here

    New iPhone means new accessories see the options right here

    Welcome to the drama, the dilemmas, the sheer disbelief involved in picking accessories to go with your new iPhone. (Yes, an official 30-pin to Lightning adapter really costs that much). We can't promise to make the choices easy, but we can at least give you a glimpse of some of the bumpers and functional extras that Apple has revealed today, and link you up to the relevant pages on Apple's store (see the Source links below).

    Starting with the iPhone 5c, it's "unapologetically" plastic to start with, of course, but you can give it extra protection with an additional, colorful mesh-style plastic case. This costs $29 and comes in the same five colors as the phone itself, so you can either match the phone or mix it up with a secondary color. There's also a black option if you want to tone things down a bit. One more thing: the iPhone 5c gets it's own Lightning dock, which comes in plain white and costs $29.

    Next up: the iPhone 5s, which comes in very different color options -- silver, grey or gold -- and therefore gets a different set of bumper colors. These cost $49 $39 (correction: $49 is solely for the special (RED) charity case, regular cases are $39), they're made of leather on the outside and protective microfiber on the inside, and come in softer colors that are a bit tricky to describe (not least because this writer is red-green color blind): some kinda yellow, some kinda peach, some kinda... or just look at the image after the break. Lastly, Apple's website lists a $29 iPhone 5s dock too, which is cross-compatible with the regular iPhone 5.%Gallery-slideshow83651% %Gallery-slideshow83650%

    US looks to clinch World Cup berth against Mexico - WREX.com ...

    By RONALD BLUM
    AP Sports Writer

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Alejandro Bedoya remembered back four years ago, when he walked onto the field with his American teammates to face Mexico at the Rose Bowl and saw the crowd of 93,000-plus.

    "A sea of green," the 26-year-old midfielder said, referring to the Mexican jersey color.

    While American soccer fans are outnumbered by visiting supporters at many venues, the U.S. team has found a home at cozy Columbus Crew Stadium.

    It's become the traditional site of the Stars & Stripes' World Cup qualifier against regional rival Mexico following 2-0 victories in 2001, 2005 and 2009.

    And on Tuesday night the Americans hope to emulate their performance of four years ago, when they clinched a World Cup berth by beating El Tri.

    "We have history here. And for soccer in our country, that's not always the case," said midfielder Michael Bradley, who will miss the match because of a sprained left ankle. "Soccer is still in its growing stages, and so for us to feel like we walk into a stadium and there's history is a special feeling."

    Coming off a dismal 3-1 loss Friday at Costa Rica on Friday night, the U.S. can assure its seventh straight World Cup appearance with two games to spare if it beats Mexico and Honduras defeats or ties visiting Panama - a game that kicks off about the time the second half gets under way in Columbus.

    Costa Rica (4-1-2) leads the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region with 14 points, one ahead of the U.S. (4-2-1), four in front of Honduras (3-3-1) and six in front of Mexico (1-1-5). Panama (1-2-4) has seven points, and Jamaica (0-4-3) is last.

    The top three nations qualify for next year's 32-nation field in Brazil, and the No. 4 finisher winds up in a playoff with New Zealand.

    Mexico will be playing its first game since coach Chepo De la Torre was replaced by Luis Fernando Tena following Friday's 2-1 defeat to Honduras at Azteca Stadium.

    "You can't expect many changes in the team that played a game three days ago and now has to play again," Tena said in remarks translated from Spanish, adding he did not plan to bring in Real Socieded forward Carlos Vela or any other new players for Tuesday.

    After this, the Americans play Jamaica at Kansas City, Kan., on Oct. 11 and finish four days later at Panama.

    "You don't want to be waiting until the last game and wanting other teams to do you a favor because you're not able to get the job done," U.S. captain Clint Dempsey said. "So ideally, we'd like to get that wrapped up as soon as we can."

    The U.S. is 23-0-2 in home qualifiers since losing to Honduras in September 2001 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., and 37-1-7 in qualifiers on American soil since losing to Costa Rica in 1985 at Torrance Calif.

    The defeat to the Catrachos prompted then-coach Bruce Arena to pronounce: "Only in America, I guess, we're fighting for a home-field advantage."

    Since the 2001 loss, the U.S. Soccer Federation has focused on selecting sites for home games likely to produce a pro-American crowd, sometimes giving up revenue that could have been collected at larger grounds.

    Earlier qualifiers this year included a 1-0 win over Costa Rica at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in suburban Denver, a 2-0 victory over Panama at Seattle's CenturyLink Field and a 1-0 win over Honduras at Rio Tinto Stadium outside Salt Lake City.

    "If every time we came here, the crowd was great and we lost, it wouldn't mean nearly as much," American goalkeeper Tim Howard said.

    "It's a raucous crowd. There's very few places in America that we can get a full house, a pro-U.S. crowd, a city that's really hungry for national team games. This is probably one of three or four venues that we have the ability to do that."

    The 2001 win, on goals by Josh Wolff and Earnie Stewart, came on a 28-degree February night and became known as "La Guerra Fria" (The Cold War).

    Steve Ralston and DaMarcus Beasley scored in the more temperate 2005 match, played in early September, and Bradley got both goals four years ago - a game preceded by a tornado watch, lightning and gusts of up to 61 mph.

    The U.S. is 6-0-3 at Columbus Crew Stadium and 4-0-2 in home qualifiers against Mexico since a 1972 defeat at Los Angeles.

    "The fans have been amazing when we come to Columbus," Beasley said.

    In addition to Bradley, three Americans will miss the match because of yellow card accumulation: forward Jozy Altidore, midfielder Geoff Cameron and defender Matt Besler.

    U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann was critical of the yellow card on Besler, assessed by Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez after the Ticos' Joel Campbell fell down, acting as if the defender had hit him.

    Replays appeared to show that Campbell was untouched, but Rodriguez was nonetheless advised to give the caution by one of his linesmen.

    "It kind of just confirmed my fears before the game with the yellow card issue," said Klinsmann, who complained that Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez could impact the U.S. roster against El Tri.

    Because of Bradley's injuries and the cards, Klinsmann called in four additional players. Clarence Goodson could start in place of Besler in central defense along with Omar Gonzalez. Midfielders Joe Corona and Jose Torres brought to five the American players from Mexican clubs.

    The U.S. knows it has to play far better on defense than it did in Costa Rica, where the hosts scored twice in the first nine minutes.

    "We want to punch our ticket, man," Howard said. "We want to get this thing finished."

    Empthy: a Global Education Conference session proposal - Home ...

    I plan to participate in the 4th annual?Global Education Conference?to be held November 18th to the 22nd. And I encourage you to do so as well. The event is described as:

    ...a collaborative, inclusive, world-wide community initiative involving students, educators, and organizations at all levels. It is designed to significantly increase opportunities for building education-related connections around the globe while supporting cultural awareness and recognition of diversity. Last year?s conference featured 400 general sessions and 20 keynote addresses from all over the world with over 13,000 participant logins.

    In my work with international schools, I've come to realize we all have more challenges in common than challenges that are unique to us. ?Among those challenges is identifying with any degree of certainty what skills and dispositions our students must develop and master for career and personal fulfillment.

    Skills - in math, in reading, in writing - and basic content area facts - in history, in literature, in science, in government - get a lot of attention. These "hard" skills have been taught for a long time and are fairly easy to measure on objective tests. Happily problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and information-fluency are increasingly mentioned as well.

    But I would argue that without attention to soft skills, whether we call them dispositions or habits of mind or right brain skills?- the hard skills aren't much good except in helping one pass a test. And the "soft skill" that I've been think a lot about lately is empathy - the ability to see a situation from another person's point of view. In engaging with a global community, the difficulty level of being empathetic correlates?directly to the degree of difference between oneself and another person culturally and geographically. (In other words, the more different we are, the tougher it is to get into each other's heads.)

    Empathy is too often thought of as a feel-good, let's all join hands and sing, multicultural tolerance,?respect and appreciation, and even, perhaps, a subtle?form of cultural snobbery. But anyone who looks down on empathy as a means of simply being a ?nicer person is sadly mistaken.?

    The ability to genuinely understand what others need, value, respect, and fear is critical to business, political, and personal success.

    I am giving myself until November 18th to learn enough about it so I can leave anyone attending my session "confused at a higher level."
