"It's devastating," said Tyrone Bogues, the Hornets' point guard who played with Lewis at Dunbar.
"Me and Reg started our career off at the same place in the same city at the same time," he said. "We went to high school together. We shared childhood together. Then, we went our separate ways. And he takes his game to the highest level he can possibly take it to. . . . It's the best time of his career and his life, w...
Celtics' forward Alaa Abdelnaby said, "What it makes you do is get scared. You pray for the best and hope it never ever happens again."
Jim Calhoun, Mr. Lewis' coach at Northeastern, said he spoke with Mr. Lewis Sunday night.
"He was semi-relieved that they told him what was wrong," Mr. Calhoun said. "He is concerned, but he wants the answers. Reggie's tremendous sense of composure came across."
Celtics' officials defended their actions after Mr. Lewis' collapse midway through the first quarter of last Thursday's game. Believing he had suffered a blow to the head, Mr. Lewis was twice sent back into the game, but left for good after complaining of dizziness during the second half.
"We were lucky," Celtics CEO Dave Gavitt said. "We were all lucky. Reggie was lucky primarily. Now that we know what the tests turned up, we all need to say our prayers."
Mack Lewis, a Baltimore fight trainer and Mr. Lewis' uncle, said his nephew can make a life for himself without basketball.
"I boxed in the Army, had two busted eardrums and was told I could never compete again and that I had to let it go," he said. "I decided to see if I could help some other kids. I've done it 40-some years. If Reggie can't play, I would hope he would get a job as a coach. I know he loves the game. I'd like to see him hel...

Those supporting contemporary reform efforts for mathematics education in the United States have called for increased use of technologies to support student-centered learning of mathematical concepts and skills. There is a need for more research and professional development to support teachers in transitioning their in...
Instrumental approaches to conceptualizing technology use in mathematics education, arising out of the theoretical and empirical work in France and other European nations, show promise for use to frame studies on school mathematics in the United States. Instrumental genesis is used to describe the bidirectional and inf...

KILAUEA VOLCANO, BIG ISLAND (HawaiiNewsNow) - There's been a new formation spotted within the once highly active fissure no. 8.
A drone flyover Wednesday morning noted what scientists call a "small cone" on the floor of the crater.
"The cone formed as lava erupted from an opening in the surface of the flow that covers the crater floor," USGS scientists said. But aside from the new formation, no active flows were reported outside of the fissure 8 walls.
The outer walls of fissure 8 at one point stood 180 feet tall and fed fast-moving lava flows down the lower east rift zone.
Last week, volcanic activity picked up again after a short break. Over the last few days, scientists noticed a soft orange glow from the fissure, indicating the eruption may have subsided, but wasn't completely over.
Wednesday morning around 5:30 a.m., USGS also reported a 3.1 magnitude earthquake below Kilauea's south flank — another indicator magma could still be moving underground.
Sulfur dioxide levels remain low and scientists continue to monitor changing conditions.
HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Convinced that the time for this moment is right at last, President Barack Obama on Friday will become the first American president to confront the historic and haunted ground of Hiroshima.
Here, at this place of so much suffering, where U.S. forces dropped the atomic bomb that gave birth to the nuclear age, Obama will pay tribute to the 140,000 people who died from the attack seven decades ago.
He will not apologize. He will not second-guess President Harry Truman's decision to unleash the awful power of nuclear weapons. He will not dissect Japanese aggression in World War II.
Rather, Obama aimed to offer a simple reflection, acknowledging the devastating toll of war and coupling it with a message that the world can — and must — do better.
He will look back, placing a wreath at the centopath, an arched monument in Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park honoring those killed by the bomb that U.S. forces dropped on Aug. 6, 1945. A second atomic bomb, dropped on Nagasaki three days later, killed 70,000 more.
Obama will also look forward.
Hiroshima is much more than "a reminder of the terrible toll in World War II and the death of innocents across the continents," Obama said Thursday.
It is a place, he said, "to remind ourselves that the job's not done in reducing conflict, building institutions of peace and reducing the prospect of nuclear war in the future."
Those who come to ground zero at Hiroshima speak of its emotional impact, of the searing imagery of the exposed steel beams on the iconic A-bomb dome. The skeletal remains of the exhibition hall have become an international symbol of peace and a place for prayer.
The president will be accompanied on his visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — a demonstration of the friendship that exists between the only nation ever to use an atomic bomb and the only nation ever to have suffered from one.
It is a moment 70 years in the making. Other American presidents considered coming, but the politics were still too sensitive, the emotions too raw.
Even now, when polls find 70 percent of the Japanese support Obama's decision to come to Hiroshima, the visit is fraught.
Obama's choreographed visit will be parsed by people with many agendas.
There are political foes at home who ready to seize on any hint of an unwelcome expression of regret.
There are Koreans who want to hear the president acknowledge the estimated 20,000-40,000 of their citizens who were among the dead in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There are blast survivors who want Obama to listen to their stories, to see their scars — physical and otherwise.
There are activists looking for a pledge of new, concrete steps to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
There are American former POWs who want the president to fault Japan for starting the war in the Pacific.
Obama will try to navigate those shoals by saying less, not more.
The dropping of the bomb, he said Thursday, "was an inflection point in modern history. It is something that all of us have had to deal with in one way or another."
A Columbia woman who stabbed her boyfriend to death after he slapped her daughter in a dispute over a piece of pie last October pleaded guilty in Howard County Circuit Court yesterday to manslaughter.
Tatyana Kogan, 26, may be sentenced up to three years in prison as part of the plea agreement she accepted for voluntary manslaughter before Judge Dennis Sweeney. She will be sentenced March 28.
Kogan can withdraw her plea and have a trial if Judge Sweeney wants to sentence her beyond the three-year term sought by prosecutors.
Voluntary manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
She was initially charged with murder and six other offenses in the stabbing death of 31-year-old Andrei Gordon. Those charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Kogan told police that Mr. Gordon had regularly struck her and her 4-year-old daughter, Jessica, before the Oct. 11 stabbing.
"The defendant reported that Mr. Gordon repeatedly hit her and her daughter so that they would learn to be nice," Assistant State's Attorney Christine Gage said.
Kogan and Mr. Gordon, natives of Russia, legally entered the United States as resident aliens. She arrived in 1990, and he arrived two years later. Kogan may be deported because of her conviction.
Kogan told police investigators after her arrest that she and Mr. Gordon got into an argument when he started yelling and slapping her daughter in their home's kitchen because she threw out a piece of pie.
When Kogan told Mr. Gordon that she wanted him to move out, he stated that he would never leave. He then threw a cup at Kogan and started hitting her in her face, head and stomach.
During the fight, Kogan grabbed a steak knife and stabbed Mr. Gordon, who went into the living room and collapsed.
Howard County 911 operators received an emergency call about 10:30 a.m. from Kogan, who reported that she had stabbed her boyfriend once in the chest during an argument at their home in Columbia's Wilde Lake village.
When police and ambulance crews arrived at the house in the 10300 block of Twin Rivers Road, they found Mr. Gordon lying in the living room and struggling to breathe. He was unable to talk.
Kogan admitted to stabbing Mr. Gordon and led investigators to the knife, which she put in a kitchen garbage can.
Mr. Gordon was taken to Howard General Hospital, where a helicopter was waiting to take him to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. After going into cardiac arrest on the way to the county hospital, Mr. Gordon was rushed into the emergency room but doctors were unable to revive him.
Her appointment is expected to go before the legislature for ratification on Thursday, but the three party house leaders announced they have retained her services.
VICTORIA — A former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada has been selected to investigate allegations of spending abuses at B.C.’s legislature.
Beverley McLachlin’s appointment is expected to go before the legislature for ratification Thursday, but the three-party House leaders announced they have retained her services.
Sergeant-at-arms Gary Lenz and clerk Craig James have been suspended with pay since November after members of the legislature learned of an RCMP investigation.
In a report released in January, Speaker Darryl Plecas alleged the two men have engaged in inappropriate spending including on foreign trips.
Lenz and James deny any wrongdoing and have filed written responses that outline how their expenses were approved, and saying the Speaker’s report harmed their reputations.
A committee that oversees the management and financial operations of the legislature voted last month to conduct an independent fact-finding probe led by a top legal official. The three House leaders are on the committee.
McLachlin will conduct that probe and present a final report to the House leaders by May 3.
NDP House Leader Mike Farnworth said McLachlin’s name was at the top of everyone’s list to lead the investigation.
“It needed to be someone who people recognized, who was beyond question, someone with a judicial background that could deal with the issues that we’re facing,” he said.
She will review the reports that have already been written on the allegations, he said, and the committee hopes she will provide answers to questions that it has had when it comes to making any decisions about the status of Lenz and James.
The terms of reference for the special investigation direct McLachlin to conduct a “fair, impartial and independent investigation” into whether the two officials committed misconduct.
The terms say the reports to be reviewed by the investigator include the Speaker’s report in January, the written responses and legal submissions by Lenz and James, and the Speaker’s report on the written responses.
In addition to reviewing those documents, McLachlin may also interview anyone she deems appropriate. Plecas, James and Lenz may provide further verbal or written evidence.
The terms say her final report will summarize the allegations and any interviews she conducted, outline findings of fact and provide an analysis and conclusion. She may also make one or more interim reports to the House leaders.
When the 1974-75 recession hit, real estate sales began to slump--and so did job opportunities for real estate executives.
After a decade of narrowing opportunities, jobs for top real estate managers are now increasing, but not in real estate companies, where you`d expect.
As a result of deregulation of the financial-services industries, the demand is coming instead from developers and financial institutions that are carefully searching for income-producing properties. Developers and financial institutions are also raiding the traditional real estate industry for managers.
According to Real Estate Newsline, a monthly newsletter published by Kenneth Leventhal & Co. in Los Angeles, ''Institutional lenders were thrust into direct roles as owners, developers and managers'' of real estate when they were forced to take over millions of dollars in foreclosures.
An analysis by the publication shows deregulation of the financial-services industry has also opened up new investment opportunities for lenders. Developers have also become financiers.
The result is that demand is rising for real estate executives, the skilled managers who know how to put a major deal together, especially those who know how to handle joint ventures between lenders and builders.
''We`re hiring space managers, property-tax experts, negotiators, legal assistants and financial analysts,'' said Cesar J. Chekijian, vice president of corporate real estate for Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. in New York.
The bank`s hiring preferences reflect current employment trends: ''We look for people with general experience in the real estate industry, rather than just a consultant, planning or development background,'' Chekijian said. Salaries are competitive with those in the real estate industry, he added.
Chekijian has a staff of 25 and plans to hire three property managers.
Opportunities are extensive, according to Richard Kateley, senior vice president of Real Estate Research Corp., a Chicago-based consulting firm.
American Express Inc.; commercial banks such as First National Bank of Chicago and Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co. of Chicago; and brokerage firms such as Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. and PaineWebber Group Inc.
He says there are jobs in the nation`s ''money centers,'' such as New York, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, Chicago and Minneapolis.
She says California savings and loans in particular are hiring real estate executives. ''We`re placing people in all areas of the financial industry now, and the trend is expected to grow,'' the placement executive said.
Harris H. Jackson, portfolio manager for Allstate Insurance Co. in Northbrook, came to the company two years ago with 13 years` experience as a property manager for local real estate companies.
His department, which has a staff of seven, invests premiums paid in by policy owners. ''We`re actively seeking someone who has a background in property management,'' Jackson said.
The executive`s portfolio consists of ''hundreds of millions of dollars.'' Allstate separates investments into two areas, divided by the Mississippi. Jackson`s major responsibility is assets west of the river, though he is involved in some projects in the other half.
Jackson is working on a project in Glendale, Calif., called Allstate Plaza, a 12-story, 300,000-square-foot office building. He`s also involved in a large office industrial park just outside Washington that has 250 acres on which approximately 500,000 square feet of space has been developed. The complex will be managed...
Though others might shrink from such massive financial responsibility, Jackson says his job is fun.
