I read with interest the letter detailing abuses of the speed camera system in Maryland ("Speed cameras nail the innocent, too," Feb. 4).
Abuses unfortunately also extend to the red light system. Some time ago I received a citation from Baltimore's Department of Finance, Bureau of Revenue Collections demanding $75 for committing an illegal turn on red at a city intersection.
However, turning on red is perfectly legal at that intersection, and the photograph on the citation shows my vehicle not even yet in the intersection, with the brake light on to boot. It was in fact stopped. Only then was the legal turn on red completed.
I tried to obtain a court date and exercise my right to contest the charge, but at that point the fun was only starting. The phone number listed to secure a court date, is — surprise — never answered. The Baltimore city website did not even list the citation number. In the meantime, I received a stern, follow-up warning that if I didn't pay by a certain date, the fine would increase to $100 and eventually the vehicle's registration would be jeopardized.
I kept at it, however, and called the Maryland District Court, and was given the name of an actual human being at the Department of Finance that I could talk to. The person there advised me that I might get an court date in four to six months, and that it would probably take place before my auto registration was suspended for non-payment. As for the warning notices, I was advised to ignore them. I still don't have a court date.
But the story doesn't end there. My wife, who works at a high school nearby, has observed other cars stop at the same the red light, have their picture taken by the camera, and then go on to complete what the drivers think is a perfectly legal turn.
It's difficult to believe that the red light camera system here and elsewhere in the state isn't "rigged." It is also difficult to believe that our state and local governments have descended to the level of committing or sanctioning obvious and systematic acts of extortion to squeeze yet more money out of the public.
I am forced to ask why Her Honor the Mayor or His Excellency the Governor don't simply instruct police to randomly stick their guns in people's faces and relieve them of their wallets? What's the difference?

McKenzie Poindexter is not your typical 17-year-old. She underwent surgery after birth, and she's been in and out of the hospital ever since. She received a double-lung transplant for cystic fibrosis two years ago, and now she has end-stage kidney and liver disease. She's among the sickest of the sick patients at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
"McKenzie has always wanted to wear a prom dress and go to prom," says her mother, Angela Poindexter, "but she doesn't have the opportunity because she's pretty sick."
Upon learning of McKenzie's prom dream, the 7 West patient care team surprised her by staging a prom just for her Nov. 7. In just 24 hours they acquired:
- a pink formal prom dress and a tiara crown
- room decorations, including a disco mirror ball, decorative stars and lights, and a photo backdrop
- cupcakes and soft drinks
They set up everything in an extra room and wheeled McKenzie in for the big surprise. "It was beautiful," unit secretary Jerline Hall says of the surprise. "To see a smile as big as she had on her face … I hadn't seen a smile like that on her before. Those girls got busy and did a beautiful job."
McKenzie, radiant in her new outfit, beamed with delight. She cherished her guests – family, nurses, doctors and staff. She danced with her father. He stood and swayed to the music, holding her hands to help her move in her wheelchair to the sound of Kelly Clarkson singing "Breakaway."
McKenzie speaks in a soft whisper due to her condition, but her constant smile spoke more than words. So did the smiles and tears of those watching. "They went way above and beyond," Angela says. "They do all the time anyway, but this was a huge surprise."
As Albert Einstein said, "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."
McKenzie's nurses, Trish Kreikemeier and Jennifer Schulte, agree."I wouldn't trade this for any amount of money or world travel," Kreikemeier says.
"This is the best job in the world." "This is why we work here as nurses," Schulte says. "To see the smile on her face."

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2009)
The Enterobacteriaceae are a large family of Gram-negative bacteria that includes, along with many harmless symbionts, many of the more familiar pathogens, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, Klebsiella and Shigella. Other disease-causing bacteria in this family include Proteus, Enterobacter, Serratia, and Citrobacter. This family is the only representative in the order Enterobacteriales of the class Gammaproteobacteria in the phylum Proteobacteria.[1] Phylogenetically, in the Enterobacteriales, several peptidoglycan-less insect endosymbionts[citation needed] form a sister clade to the Enterobacteriaceae, but as they are not validly described, this group is not officially a taxon; examples of these species are Sodalis, Buchnera, Wigglesworthia, Baumannia cicadellinicola and Blochmannia, but not former Rickettsias.[2] Members of the Enterobacteriaceae can be trivially referred to as enterobacteria or "enteric bacteria",[3] as several members live in the intestines of animals. In fact, the etymology of the family is enterobacterium with the suffix to designate a family (aceae) — not after the genus Enterobacter (which would be "Enterobacteraceae")— and the type genus is Escherichia.
Members of the Enterobacteriaceae are rod-shaped, and are typically 1-5 μm in length. They appear as small grey colonies on blood agar. Like other proteobacteria, enterobacteria have Gram-negative stains,[4] and they are facultative anaerobes, fermenting sugars to produce lactic acid and various other end products. Most also reduce nitrate to nitrite, although exceptions exist (e.g. Photorhabdus). Unlike most similar bacteria, enterobacteria generally lack cytochrome C oxidase, although there are exceptions (e.g. Plesiomonas shigelloides). Most have many flagella used to move about, but a few genera are nonmotile. They are not spore-forming. Catalase reactions vary among Enterobacteriaceae.
Many members of this family are a normal part of the gut flora found in the intestines of humans and other animals, while others are found in water or soil, or are parasites on a variety of different animals and plants. Escherichia coli is one of the most important model organisms, and its genetics and biochemistry have been closely studied.
Most members of Enterobacteriaceae have peritrichous, type I fimbriae involved in the adhesion of the bacterial cells to their hosts. Some enterobacteria produce endotoxins. Endotoxins reside in the cell cytoplasm and are released when the cell dies and the cell wall disintegrates. Some members of the Enterobacteriaeceae produce endotoxins that, when released into the bloodstream following cell lysis, cause a systemic inflammatory and vasodilatory response. The most severe form of this is known as endotoxic shock, which can be rapidly fatal.
To identify different genera of Enterobacteriaceae, a microbiologist may run a series of tests in the lab. These include:[5]
- Phenol red
- Tryptone broth
- Phenylalanine agar for detection of production of deaminase, which converts phenylalanine to phenylpyruvic acid
- Methyl red or Voges-Proskauer tests depend on the digestion of glucose. The methyl red tests for acid endproducts. The Voges Proskauer tests for the production of acetylmethylcarbinol.
- Catalase test on nutrient agar tests for the production of catalase enzyme, which splits hydrogen peroxide and releases oxygen gas.
- Oxidase test on nutrient agar tests for the production of the enzyme oxidase, which reacts with an aromatic amine to produce a purple color.
- Nutrient gelatin tests to detect activity of the enzyme gelatinase.
In a clinical setting, three species make up 80 to 95% of all isolates identified. These are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis.

Do you see the direction this is heading…
A West Virginia pension fund sued Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Citigroup Inc. (C)'s Citibank unit and UBS AG (UBSN) claiming they manipulated the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, in violation of U.S. antitrust law.
The Carpenters Pension Fund of West Virginia filed a complaint in federal court in Manhattan yesterday claiming the banks and a group of unnamed co-conspirators deliberately understated their borrowing costs to depress Libor, lowering their interest expenses on products tied to the rate.

GRIFFITH PARK>> As a "blood moon" was gobbled by the earth's shadow last month, a wizard appeared at Griffith Observatory to lead thousands in a plea toward the heavens.
An ancient monster was devouring the lunar spotlight above Los Angeles. And observatory director Dr. Edwin C. Krupp, in a wizard gown and hat that towered over his bristly mustache, led the chant to keep the city stage light on.
"Dragon be gone," the wizard chanted from the observatory's north steps, his voice rising with the throng. "Dragon be gone. Dragon be gone!"
The whimsical nod to ancient beliefs about the blood moon lunar eclipse was led by L.A.'s biggest showman of the stars, Krupp, who has been director of the planet's most popular observatory for 40 of its almost 80 years.
On Monday, the renowned astronomer, globetrotter, author and bon vivant of one of the city's greatest icons will be feted at a champagne sunset picnic at Griffith Observatory.
"The "Stellar Evolution" bash, hosted by Friends of the Observatory to honor Krupp and the Griffith Park landmark's approaching 80th year, will take place from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets, from $75 to $150, are available only at www.friendsoftheobservatory.com.
"There are many, many, many very special public employees, but there's only one Dr. Edwin C. Krupp," said Councilman Tom LaBonge, whose district includes the observatory and whose own service to the city dates back 38 years. "Not only does he have the greatest building in the city. He's got the universe.
"He's done a meteoric job."
As clouds brushed pastMount Hollywood one morning this week, visitors from around the world waited outside Griffith Observatory — a Beaux Arts beauty gleaming in ivory and topped by three bronze planetarium and telescope domes.
Fresh from its $93-million makeover six years ago, it offers some of the most majestic views of Los Angeles, a watchful guardian over downtown and nearby Hollywood and its famous sign. Two hours before it opens, its parking lot is nearly full.
"It's an L.A. treasure," said John Ashton, a guide from Sunseeker Tours of Long Beach, after alluding to how the great public observatory opened on May 14, 1935, because of a bequest by the late Col. Griffith J. Griffith, benefactor of Griffith Park. "We get more requests to see this than anything."
"It's amazing. I'm inspired by it. It's crazy," said Brandon Anderson, 28, a shirtless musician doing leg lifts on the observatory lawn after hiking up from nearby Ferndale. "It clears my head and uplifts my work."
Outside, at the head of the hilltop parking lot, sat a faded turquoise 1968 Camaro, with 481,000 miles. It was Krupp's, driven up and down the hill ever since he hired on in 1970 to lecture in the planetarium earning his astro doctorate at UCLA. Four years later he was its director.
Inside, standing behind the great bronze doors, is Krupp — waiting for the great observatory to open. He's not above quietly watching his visitors, sensing their reactions, seeing how they engage the infinite.
Ask him about the observatory, and he brightens above his moon-landing neck tie (one of the more than 100 stellar ties for which he's famous). Ask him about the universe, and he beams like a jillion stars.
To the Chicago native, son of a space program engineer, virtually everything is about our engagement with the cosmos. And about explaining a complicated universe in meteorite-size terms for the general public.
From exhibits such as the Big Picture, the world's largest astronomical photograph shimmering with 2 million stars and galaxies, to the Cosmic Connection, a 60-foot-long stream of jewels illustrating the dawn of the universe 13.7 billion years ago, his legacy is a sense of universal wonder.
"Jewelry brings them to the exhibit. And the exhibit gets them to talking with each other. You have the average person talking about the history of the cosmos. And that's what it's all about," Krupp said. "Griffith Observatory was built as a public observatory, and the whole idea is to put eyeballs to the universe."
After he moved to Reseda as a starry-eyed kid, Krupp's visited Griffith Observatory and noticed the rust streaking off its domes. Now in his four decades of heading the place, he is credited with leading its multimillion-dollar preservation, clearing trees for its breathtaking views, upgrading its planetarium projector, and preserving the live shows from beneath its darkened star-covered dome. He also helped found Friends of the Observatory, to help support the landmark he loved.
As an expert in ancient archeology, the cosmic showman has also boosted a broader understanding of man and space. And at 69, the Eagle Rock resident still works 10-hour days and says he has no immediate plans to retire.
"The observatory is good for centuries, because it does not fail to grab the heart of each person that sees it," Krupp said, as doors swung open and the city's great stargazer whirled to life. "And that's what sustains it.
"When people see it, they know they own it."

Let's look at the arguments we've seen against the faith here on Public Catholic. They tend to fall into categories.
By far the largest category is the Dawkins without attribution crowd. These people repeat arguments Dr Richard Dawkins has made in his popular books, usually without adding a single thought of their own. But they don't attribute them to Dr Dawkins. There are so many of these it would be worthless to try to list them. Here is one recent example.
A reader made the statement (I'm paraphrasing) that the reason we live in a universe that appears to be tuned for life, at least life here on Earth, is that, well, however improbable, that's the universe we live in. This is from Dr Dawkins' runaway best seller The God Delusion.
Obviously, this doesn't answer anything. It simply sidesteps it. Also obviously, it wasn't the reader's own thought.
There are a large number of pretend Dawkins commenters on this blog. Except for one time, I've let every single one of them pass through without calling them on their failure to say that they are quoting someone else.
What is interesting is that they don't seem to be able to think past quoting Dawkins without attribution. I don't remember one of these people adding anything to Dr Dawkins' thinking when they slap these things down in the combox.
I don't know for sure of course, but I'm guessing most of them haven't thought all that deeply about what they're quoting. If they had, they would probably have decided it isn't worth repeating, as it doesn't hold water.
God-is-evil commenters are another large group. They have picked up out-of-context Bible verses and stories, sometimes from Dawkins, but I think mostly from Christian-bashing blogs. They come swooping in here with their Bible verse or story and throw it down with an almost audible There! Take that!
I've noticed that Public Catholic readers aren't so good at answering this tripe. Our religious education has not taught us to look at the Bible from a viewpoint of defending God Himself in disputation.
Protestants are good at seeing specific verses because that is the way they have been taught. They are much more adept than Catholics at picking out a verse anywhere. I know Protestants who can recite whole chapters of the Bible. I can give them a word or two of a verse and they will tell me immediately where it is in the Bible by Chapter and verse.
Catholics are good at seeing the overarching story of the Scriptures, because that is the way they have been taught. Every Sunday we hear an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a reading from an Epistle and a reading from the Gospels. Catholics who go to daily mass will hear almost the whole Bible read to them this way in a three year cycle. These readings are chosen so that New Testament fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy or foreshadowing is placed side by side, along with an Apostolic interpretation of these same things from one of the Epistles.
Catholics come away from this with a good understanding of how the Bible fits together to tell one, single story of our salvation.
However, neither Protestants nor Catholics have been trained to deal with the dubious "scholarship" of highly aggressive Christian bashers. These people are cult-like followers of leaders who earn their living by attacking Christ, Christianity, the Church and God. Many of the Christian-bashing blogs are over the top with followers. Hate expressed in anti-intellectual shibboleths is popular with certain types of people. It always has been.
These leaders comb the Scriptures looking for stories or single verses that they can manipulate to support their contentions. They studiously overlook the vast bulk of Scripture that abrogates their prejudices so clearly that even they cannot twist it into meaning something else. They then reinterpret their gleanings according to their own malice in order to judge both God and Christians by the obnoxious standards of 21st century self-righteous nihilism.
This whole practice of pulling things out of context and ignoring all scholarship to reframe them according to your propaganda is intellectually bogus. It is not a sign of intelligence, especially since the people who come on this blog to throw these things down are just parroting what someone else has said or written without any real understanding.
I haven't been trained in dealing with this. So far as I know, nobody has. After all, those of us who follow Christ are more intent on learning what the Bible actually teaches than mining it for gotcha verses and stories to use against God.
However, a lot of dumb clucks are buying it as if it meant something. I don't mean Public Catholic readers. I mean your friends and mine. I mean our kids and the family we see once a year at Thanksgiving. People who have not studied the Bible in an intelligent and informed way are sitting ducks for this sort of anti-intellectual approach to Scripture.
From what little I have read and seen in this area, every single one of these accusations is answered by simply learning why and what the Scriptures are actually saying. I haven't read one attack on the faith from Scripture that didn't fall down dead by simply knowing what the Scriptures actually mean.
The problem is that these understandings don't fit in a combox. In fact, they would only fit in a full post if you take them one at a time, and that would be an entire blog of its own. They require what these anti-intellectual propagandists claim for themselves but don't demonstrate: A certain amount of intellectual gravitas.
In this post Christian world, we're all going to have to become apologists, each in our own little world. The time when we could devote our studies to personal piety has ended. We are in a battle and we must, as St Paul said, "take on the whole armor of faith." That includes an understanding of how and why these attacks on Christians and on God Himself through Scripture are both anti-intellectual in their methodology and untrue in their facts.
The result for us as individuals will be a greatly strengthened faith that "needs not be ashamed."
Faith grows when you step out on it, and that's a fact.

The funding project InRehaRob aims to create a self-adapting, robotic assistance system for rehabilitation for the first time.
The aim of InRehaRob is to provide patients, for example, those who have suffered a stroke, with tailored therapy and enable them to practice movements independently.
With the LBR Med, not only is safe human-robot collaboration possible, but thanks to its adaptability tailoring to individual patient requirements can also be achieved. This is why research is being carried out in collaboration with medical partners on a holistic safety concept which accounts for technical, medical and regulatory aspects and stipulates the requirements for such a concept. Beyond this, 亚博vip群1 is developing interfaces specifically for use in the field of rehabilitation as part of this project. These interfaces enable system integrators and medical product manufacturers to integrate the LBR Med into their solutions more easily.

I cooked up some onion, garlic and crushed red pepper in EVOO. I then added the chopped fresh tomatoes and let soften and blend in. Finally, I added in those bacon pieces you get in the bag (real bacon, please, no substitutes) and warmed it through. We garnished it with grated cheese and ground black pepper.
While not brilliant, we both agreed this was a very good dish and it took about as much time to make as it does for me to do a posting on it. The crushed red pepper gave some background heat and using the last of the farmer's market tomatoes gave it a fresh flavor. We will definitely make this again: quick, easy, tasty and affordable is a hard combination to beat.
For wine, we had the Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio 2008 that was given a solid rating Costco Wine Blog. While not the best Pinot Grigio ever, at less than $8 a bottle it is a very good value. This someone sweet wine went well with the freshness of the tomato and my wife and I both agreed with the review that it was easy to drink and enjoy with this dinner.
To sum this up, the concept of Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato being used together has been around for a long time, but this shows there are still ways to innovate and put new spins on the idea.

The search for the star of "The First Avenger: Captain America" took a while – and Chris Evans isn't so sure he was the right pick to don the red, white and blue spandex.
"Gonna be the worst thing that ever happened to Marvel," he joked to Access Hollywood on Saturday at the junket for his latest film, "The Losers" – another comic book adaptation, from rival DC's Vertigo line.
Chris provides the comic relief in "The Losers," a shoot-'em-up tale of U.S. Special Forces fighters who have to face off against an egomaniacal villain to clear their names after finding themselves betrayed. It's a role not dissimilar from his wise-cracking ways as Johnny Storm — another iconic Marvel hero — in the "Fantastic Four" films. In "The Losers," though, he didn't have to wear a skintight costume.
"I've been down that road, hopefully it won't be too different," he said of wearing Captain America's famous outfit, adding that he does plan to bulk up for the role.
"I lost a little bit of weight the last project I had… I'll probably hit the gym again," he said.
Among the film's other roles, Sebastian Stan has been cast as his sidekick, Bucky Barnes, but Chris is still waiting on his leading lady. "She's Out of My League's" Alice Eve has been one rumored name, but the star said he hasn't heard anything official.
"I have no idea, that's completely out of my hands," he said.
"The Losers" is due in theaters April 23, with "Captain America" planned for 2011.

Have you seen them? They were very obvious in my inbox during the Fourth of July sales.
And a lot of the recurring emails I get from retailers are using the sunshine (for summer) or hearts (for love).
Have you wondered how to include these cool icons in your subject lines? It's fairly easy if you have a handy, go-to chart telling you which ones mean what, as there is on Wikipedia.
All you need to do is copy the character from the chart and then paste it into the subject line box. Will it render in all clients? Not all, but most. The older ones will not display the image properly, or at all, so remember to test your messages in different environments.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Don't overuse them
- Depending on your frequency, use in one email/month
- Don't use two different characters one in an email subject line
- Make sure they fit with your message. Don't use them just to use them
- Think about placement
- Remember, you still need to keep your subject lines short for mobile devices, so don't allow the characters to divert from your main message
- Test
- Know how your customers read your messages. If they get them on a mobile device that doesn't support them, it's a wasted effort
- Do a split test and see if using characters has a positive result; again, you don't want it to be a wasted effort
Some ideas on when to use characters:
★ or ☆ – great for Fourth of July
☘ – St. Patrick's Day of course!
☼ – summer promotions should be wrapping up
☃ – holidays are right around the corner
♻ – environmental message
✈ – travel message
This is just the beginning in terms of how you can use them in subject lines, but are they a trend or are they just trendy? Either way, we know you'll come up with some fun ways to use them in your subject lines!

NEWS- Snow job? Making the decision to close schools
Long before the first delicate flakes begin to fall, even before dark clouds gather in the sky preceding a winter storm, if you listen closely, you may hear a strange vibration in the air around Charlottesville and Albemarle.
You wonder what it is.Thousands of killer bees? A new act in the Jack? Dozens of red storm-team jackets zipping up? Nah. It's the collective shaking and shuddering of thousands of area parents who fear that, no matter what the weather actually brings, schools will be closed– possibly for days on end.
"There was a day two weeks ago when they closed in anticipation of a storm that never showed up," says UVA politics prof and city resident David Waldner, parent of two boys, five-year-old Dylan and three-year-old Benjamin.
That day, Tuesday, February 13, forecasters had promised an ice storm developing overnight on Monday. Albemarle closed for the entire day; Charlottesville released elementary students at 12:30. A light sleet didn't begin until after 4pm, and it wasn't until early evening that ice fell in earnest.
The school system believed that "immediately when it hit it would cause major issues" for buses, as well as students, and faculty in cars, says Diane Behrens, the county's director of support services and the woman in charge of cancelling school.
Despite a rapidly warming Valentine's Day morning, both school systems were closed, and then both opened two hours late on Thursday, February 15. But in a stunning twist, Albemarle opened on time that Friday, while Charlottesville– for the first time in recent memory– behaved more cautiously than its county-part, opening two hours late for a second day.
City school spokesperson Cass Cannon says the school systems don't collude, and the City figured that bus stops were still too slippery for on-time opening on Friday.
"It's not like we ever have truly hazardous conditions in Charlottesville," says Waldner, a native New Yorker, who says he considers crossing Park Street to get to Dylan's bus stop a far greater danger even on balmy days than the dustings of snow or ice that bring life in Charlottesville to a screeching halt.
County parent Amy Webb, single mom to second- and fifth-graders at Murray Elementary, says she also finds some of the decisions about school closing "surprising," but as a real estate agent who drives all over the area, she's aware that some rural county roads merit special consideration.
The County's info sheet on inclement weather claims that the transportation department decides to cancel schools when 80 percent of county roads are dangerous for large vehicles to traverse.
Behrens says transportation crews begin inspecting county roads in the wee hours, so that a decision can be made in time for the early morning closing announcements.
So far, Albemarle has missed five days this year. The county builds eight make-up days into the calendar, including four that can be tacked on at the end. Already county students will go two extra days in June, and those will be augmented by any future snow days.
Charlottesville has missed three days this year; city students will make up two of them on previously scheduled holidays and the third on June 7. Any future snow days will be added to the end of the year, says Cannon, who adds that– as in Albemarle– icy bus stops and uncleared tertiary roads often contribute to closings even when the main thoroughfares are cleared.
But should everyone miss school because buses can't reach the few people who've chosen to live on back roads?
Waldner says if schools opened but simply cancelled bus transportation, he'd gladly drive his sons to school. "It would logistically be difficult," he says, "but it would be easier for the day as a whole."
Willie Smith in the County's People Transportation Department says he's heard the idea mentioned, but it's never been seriously considered during his 15-year-tenure. "Given our topography, I'm not so sure there would be anything to be gained," says Smith. "Everyone's trying to dig out of these same areas, not just the bus drivers. If teachers or custodians couldn't get to school, I imagine we'd have quite a dilemma."
Cannon says nixing buses but opening school won't happen in Charlottesville because school leaders feel obligated to provide transportation to students every day school is open.
But in fact, state law says school systems don't have to provide busing, says Julie Grimes, spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Education. On a borderline snow day– when most roads are passable but some bus stops are icy– the school system could decide to suspend bus service but still keep regular school hours.
It's not quite that simple, however.
"It doesn't make sense because their average daily attendance would be affected," says Grimes. That's a figure that schools use to apply for funding. If attendance dips sharply on enough days, it can reduce the amount of money the school system receives from state and federal funds.
While for single parents or for families in which both parents work outside the home, snow days can be an ordeal, most parents find ways to get by. Some have retired relatives nearby, others have job flexibility that allows them to work from home.
"I'm lucky," says Webb, who can arrange her schedule to accommodate snow days and who has helpful relatives in the area. Plus, she says, "Employers here seem to be very understanding about people not showing up for work."
Not the biggest employer, however.
"UVA never closes," sighs Waldner. "They don't seem to show any appreciation for parents."
Waldner says he didn't mind trekking through snow to get to his classes before his children were born, but lugging two kids to work in inclement weather is a bit tougher.
Most area daycare centers follow the Charlottesville City snow closing schedule, so the public school closing decision affects parents of younger children as well.
Kevin Cox, whose own 8-year-old son is homeschooled, says he sees the harsh effect of snow days on other parents in the UVA lab where he works.
"The daycares all close, and you see kids wandering around Jordan Hall," says Cox. His colleagues "have to bring their children with them and do their jobs at the same time," says Cox. "The people who make these decision seem to be totally unaware."
UVA spokesperson Carol Wood did not immediately return the Hook's call, but Behrens and Cannon both say their school systems are aware of the upheaval snow days cause, and are simply trying to keep students and staff safe. Plus, adds Behrens, there's no way to please everyone.
"We get phone calls from those who think we should be in school every day," she says. Then last week, when Albemarle opened on time following the icy weather, "We got five calls because roads had not been cleared, and they couldn't understand how we could open."
Ivy Road was icy on the morning of Wednesday, February 8, and Albemarle County Schools were closed.

A Monte Carlo Simulation with loop structure
- To: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Subject: [mg11971] [mg11971] A Monte Carlo Simulation with loop structure
- From: "Daniel Sanders" <email@example.com>
- Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1998 03:40:12 -0400
- Organization: AT&T WorldNet Services
Hi, I'm learning Mathematica programming in AutoDidactic [mode], and I'm working on conditionals and loop structures. The problem that follows is prototypical, and perhaps I can benefit from seeing some of your solutions. I owe the problem to J. Laurie Snell from his book, "Introduction to Probability". In the early 1600s, Galileo was asked to explain the fact that, although the number of triples of integers from 1 to 6 with sum 9 is the same as the number of such triples with sum 10, when three dice are rolled, a 9 seemed to come up less often a 10 supposedly in the experience of gamblers. Can you suggest native Mathematica code not emulating a procedural language for a Monte Carlo simulation experiment that runs many times keeping track of the proportions of 9s and 10s? Thanks in advance, I'm interested in the looping mechanism. Daniel Sanders

Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru a feature documentary film about internationally renowned life and business strategist Tony Robbins, is a revelatory cinema-verite film that goes behind the scene of his mammoth seminar Date with Destiny, attended by over 2,500 people in Boca Raton, Florida each year, to give an insider look at how one man can affect millions.
Granted never before seen access to the behind the scenes machinations of this mega-event, this film captures both the immense effort of producing this live seminar as well as the life changing transformations of the participants in real time.
With Tony Robbins and his team over the course of six days, Academy Award nominated filmmaker Joe Berlinger turns an unflinching eye on Tony Robbins powerful and uncompromising approach to achieving success, ensuring the attendees leave Date With Destiny with new perspective on the forces, thoughts and feelings that motivate their behavior and help them better take control of their lives.
Pulling back the curtain on Tony Robbins, a man that traverses the globe and consuls over 200,000 people annually, including world leaders, pundits and celebrities, TONY ROBBINS: I AM NOT YOUR GURU is an emotional tour de force that unveils the inner-workings of this mega event, the zealous participants and the man himself.

VESTAL, N.Y. (AP) Kristijan Krajina blocked the potential game-winning shot at the buzzer as Mount St. Mary's outlasted Binghamton 71-70 on Saturday.
The Mountaineers (3-3) rallied from a 14-point, first-half deficit for the victory.
Josh Castellanos scored nine of his team-high 14 points over the final 3 minutes of the win. Julian Norfleet had 13 points, Krajina collected season highs of 12 points and eight rebounds, Rasheed Whack had 11 points and Sam Prescott 10.
Jordan Reed scored 17 to lead Binghamton (2-6), followed by Taylor Johnston with 12, Rayner Moquete with 11 and Jimmy Gray with 10.
Castellanos hit two free throws with 3:00 left to even the score at 62-62 and followed with a drive for a 64-62 lead. He hit a 3-pointer with 57 seconds left for a 69-63 advantage.
The Bearcats cut the lead 71-70 with 15 seconds left, leading to Krajina's block of Reed's shot.

- About USCCB
During the Concluding Rites, announcements may be made (if necessary) after the Prayer after Communion. The celebrant then blesses the people assembled. Sometimes, the blessing is very simple. On special days, the blessing may be more extensive. In every case, the blessing is always trinitarian: "May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit." It is in the triune God and in the sign of the cross that we find our blessing.
After the blessing, the deacon dismisses the people. In fact, the dismissal gives the liturgy its name. The word "Mass" comes from the Latin word, " Missa." At one time, the people were dismissed with the words "Ite, missa est" (literally meaning "Go, she—meaning you, the Church—has been sent"). The word "Missa" is related to the word "missio," the root of the English word "mission." The liturgy does not simply come to an end. Those assembled are sent forth to bring the fruits of the Eucharist to the world.

George Clooney has started taking his projects to streaming sites after realizing films like Michael Clayton and Good Night, And Good Luck wouldn't get green-lighted at the major studios.
The actor and director will launch his TV adaptation of Joseph Heller's Catch-22 on Hulu later this week and admits the service and Netflix and Amazon will be high on his list of go-to streaming juggernauts as he pitches future projects, noting the studios behind some of his biggest dramatic films are no longer interested in making those types of movies anymore.
"The studios are less and less telling the kinds of stories that I like to tell," Clooney tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Mid-range or even small budget.
"Warner Brothers isn't going to make Good Night, and Good Luck now; they're not going to make Michael Clayton, quite honestly, now. So (projects like those) are going to end up at Hulu or Netflix or Amazon or Apple or one of those places."
Ironically, Clooney was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his title role in Michael Clayton and he also landed a nod for directing Good Night, and Good Luck.

By Attorney John Pankauski
Special to THELAW.TV
Did mom cut you out of her will or estate — or leave you less than you expected?
Consider this: Mom dies and you read in mom's will that a neighbor of mom's, who lives in the same condo complex, gets one half of the estate. You only get one-quarter and your only brother gets one-quarter! You have never even met "the neighbor" — and the neighbor is getting more than mom's only children!
So let's cut to the chase: You are wondering, did mom did not have the right mental capacity to make her last will, to understand what she was doing? Maybe mom was aging or slowing down. Maybe she needed more help as the years went on. Americans have long life expectancies. While our bodies can endure, our minds often cannot. There's a greater likelihood than ever before that we will be incapacitated before we die. Everyone knows a friend or relative who was stricken by dementia or Alzheimer's.
So you ask yourself, rightfully so: Was mom diagnosed with dementia? Did dementia keep mom from knowing what she was doing? If dementia prevented mom from understanding what she was doing when she signed the will, that will may not be valid. Every week across the country in probate circles, if not daily, beneficiaries of estates and trusts ponder these questions. Mom dies. You get a copy of the will and are shocked at what it says. How could this happen? What happened?
You may be able to object to the will based on mom's dementia. Here are five important things that you need answers to:
1) Who wrote the will? Was mom's will prepared by her long time Florida estate planning attorney who knew mom well? And who knew her mental state or mental health history? Or was it purchased on the Internet by downloading a form? Was the form purchased at an office supply store? Was it printed on the neighbor's computer? Maybe the neighbor wrote it. Another question you want answered: If there was an attorney who prepared the will, how long did mom know that attorney (five minutes or five years)? Who hired that attorney, who paid that attorney, and who kept the original will? Did mom meet the attorney or did the neighbor find the attorney? Remember, those who suffer from dementia are more susceptible to undue influence.
2) Was mom taking meds? If mom was taking medication, you need to know what meds mom was on, if and when she took them on the day she signed the will, and how the possible side effects were, or were not, affecting her. There are some wonderful drugs that assist aging parents and loved ones who are stricken with dementia. Namenda is a drug by Forest Labs that my mom took during the last year of her life. My mom suffered from dementia and, after she was diagnosed, I noticed a great improvement. Although not all patients who suffer from dementia are diagnosed with Alzheimers, there is much to learn about aging. Aricept is another drug that assists those who may suffer from symptoms of dementia. You need to know what drugs mom was taking, and, perhaps more importantly, what drugs mom was NOT taking, but should have been.
3) What do the medical records say? When you are involved in probate litigation over a will, and there is a belief that mom lacked the ability to know what she signed, you need to read her medical reports and records. What do her doctors say? In the probate world, probate lawyers refer to this as whether mom lacked the requisite "testamentary capacity" to execute or sign a will. Did mom know who her family members were? Did she understand the act of signing a will? Would she be able to explain that she was giving a neighbor (someone outside the family) one half of her estate — and giving her only daughters one-fourth each? Were neurological tests given? Are there notes in the files about dementia, confusion, or memory loss? If neurological tests or exams were not given, you need to know why. See what the medical records show. Issue subpoenas to hospitals, doctors, and other healthcare workers who treated mom. Then review the medical records with someone who understands them and knows what to look for.
4) What do the health care workers say? Mom probably had a primary care physician, or internist, perhaps a neurologist, and maybe even health care workers or aids. If mom was in an assisted living facility or a nursing home, even part-time, she may have been seen regularly by nurses or nurses assistants. Mom may even had her own staff that came in everyday or regularly. What do they say? Was mom repeating herself when speaking? Was she constantly writing things down or taking notes? Did mom have the ability to analyze and make decisions? Was she confused and disoriented as to time or place? Did she have the ability to function on her own? Increased dependency on others? What do the healthcare workers think about mom's dementia and her ability or inability to sign a will?
5) When was the probate opened? You only have three months to object to a Florida will after you receive "formal notice." If you don't act within the correct time frame, you can't later try to over turn the will based on dementia. Don't delay or ignore. In probate administration, there are no statutes of limitations in terms of years: it's days or months. If you are getting court or official documents, don't ignore them. Get serious and get an attorney or get out.
In Florida, we see more than our share of the dementia. Florida has a large retirement and elderly population. Our hospitals and doctors are making great strides in assisting our aging population with mental illness. But dementia is widespread and it may be difficult to spot if not dealt with in a timely fashion. We always don't know — it's not always clear — when someone loses the ability to fully understand what they are doing, even when they look and sound great. Florida has strict laws for those who take advantage of the elderly. There are both criminal and civil penalties. If you are a beneficiary of a trust or will that you think is not valid because of a loved one's dementia, you may only have as few as three months to object to a will or six months to object to the trust.
John Pankauski is a West Palm Beach, Florida probate and trust litigation attorney.

I discovered this nifty necklace display case at either T.J.Maxx or Marshalls a few months ago, just after we had moved into our new home. For around $15, it was truly worth the ease of taking it home and displaying my collection of necklaces. I had been pinning DIY jewelry storage ideas on Pinterest, but I was relieved have a quick and simple solution so my necklaces would not be tangled in a drawer somewhere anymore!
The display case is painted a light ivory color, has a glass "window" door on hinges, and contains a linen background with ivory pegs for hanging necklaces. It even has hooks to hang it from the wall, which I intend to use at some point, but for now I'm letting it reside on my dresser.
You could probably DIY something very similar with a shadow box, spray paint, a plate of glass and wooden frame, hinges, and small wooden pegs. I was happy to find a ready-made solution, but think of the ways you could adapt something like this to your own style and desired dimensions!

Dan Deacon | 17/01/13
Dan Deacon is back to tour North America and Europe again in support of his most recent album America, out now on Domino.
Shot over a three month tour this past autumn, the time-lapse based 'Guilford Avenue Bridge' video captures not only the American landscapes that inspired Deacon's songwriting for America but also gives a glimpse into his show's renowned spectacle of hundreds, even thousands, of jubilant people dancing about in coordinated movement. With the addition of his groundbreaking smartphone app which the band recently used on their network television debut performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Deacon has taken the concert experience to a whole new level.
'Guilford Avenue Bridge' video directed by Alan Resnick:
The 'Guilford Avenue Bridge' digital single comes backed with a live full band version recorded at influential non-commercial US radio station, The Current, in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. Listen to the entire session here and buy the single here.
Deacon will be joined on his February headlining European dates with his streamlined ensemble of two drummers -- Jeremy Hyman of Boredoms, Ponytail; Kevin O'Meara of Videohippos -- with America producer Chester Endersby Gwazda on electronics. His ensemble of two drummers will also join him on their support dates with fellow label-mates Animal Collective on their March North American tour.
