Changing Policies

When I was in PT school, we didn't discuss organizational policies and procedures very often. Even as a student, my clinical instructor would show me how to do something but I don't recall ever seeing a printed policy or handbook on what to do. Actually,

A Woodbridge man faces a host of charges in relation to three local burglaries, including the theft and arson of a daycare van, Prince William County Police said.
Police arrested Adrian Powell Bennett, 20, of Covered Bridge Lane in Woodbridge, on Nov. 2, after they responded to an alarm at Lake Ridge Auto Care on Touchstone Circle.
Officers arrived at the business at 1:37 a.m. and saw that a window on an overhead garage door was broken. As the officers looked over the property, an unknown man, later identified as Bennett, left the building. The man fled on foot after officers challenged him, said Officer Jonathan Perok, a spokesman for the police department. After a short pursuit, police apprehended Bennett.
"Officers learned that while inside the business, the accused took two sets of keys to two different vehicles which were parked in the lot behind the business," Perok said in a press release.
Police said that they also connected Bennett to two additional burglaries at Minnieland on the Prince William Parkway. After the first burglary on Oct. 24, a daycare van was stolen and later set on fire. During the second burglary on Nov. 2, Bennett allegedly entered the daycare through an unsecured window, but no property was reported missing. That incident took place just hours before the Lake Ridge Auto Care burglary.
In connection with the burglary of Lake Ridge Auto Care, Bennett was charged with two counts of attempted grand larceny, one count of destruction of property, burglary, two counts of petit larceny and one count of resisting arrest.
Police charged Bennett with one count of burglary in relation to the Nov. 2 incident at Minnieland. He was charged with another count of burglary and one count of grand larceny in relation to the Oct. 24 incident. The Fire Marshal has also charged him with one count of arson.
The information in this article was provided by the Prince William County Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

Crusaders Tabbed Fifth in Preseason Poll
Tuesday, February 08, 2011
The Valparaiso University softball team has been picked to finish in fifth place in the Horizon League standings for the 2011 season in preseason polling by the league's head coaches.
First-year head coach Jordan Stevens returns 14 letterwinners from the 2010 squad, including eight starting position players and both starting pitchers. Seven of the Crusader returnees hit over .300 a year ago, while Valpo ranked among the top-50 in the nation in batting average, slugging percentage, earned run average, doubles, triples and stolen bases.
Valparaiso received 39 points in the polling, which awarded nine points for a first-place vote. Cleveland State and UIC each picked up four first-place votes, with the Vikings edging out the Flames 58-57 for the top spot in the polling. Butler and Wright State tied for the third spot with 43 points apiece, while the latter earned the one remaining first-place vote. Following the Crusaders were Loyola (31), Green Bay (28), Youngstown State (17) and Detroit (9).
The Crusaders kick off the 2011 campaign this Saturday, February 12 at the Cyclone Indoor Invitational, playing four games over their two days at the tournament.

The Salem News
---- — BARNSTABLE (AP) — A judge has dismissed three jurors from a former Ipswich man's murder trial because they may have been improperly influenced by outside information about the case.
Robert Upton, now of Newton, is being tried in Barnstable Superior Court in connection with the slaying in September 2009 of Aris Manoloules of Framingham in his Hyannis vacation home.
Prosecutors say Upton and Manoloules' teenage nephew went to the home and killed him in a dispute over a multimillion-dollar family inheritance. Upton was allegedly offered $165,000 to do the killing.
The defense says there's no evidence that Upton killed Manoloules.
The Cape Cod Times reports that Judge Gary Nickerson dismissed three jurors on Wednesday. They were replaced by three of the four alternates.
Deliberations were expected to start yesterday.

Breaking It Down: Providence Catholic played with a chip on their shoulder in the first round of the Class 7A IHSA playoffs. Except for a fumble inside the Boilermakers' red zone on Providence's opening drive that gave fans an uncomfortable reminder of the previous week, it was smooth sailing for the Celtics on their way to a 44-7 win.
Providence's backfield consisting of Dominic Lagone, Brandon Price and David Kaminski combined for over 190 yards rushing, despite not playing a snap in the fourth quarter.
The Celtic defense forced four turnovers, and dominated the Bradley-Bourbonnais backfield. With less than two minutes remaining in the third quarter, the Boilermakers had lost two yards on their 12 rushing attempts.
Patch's MVP: Jeff Cesario, Providence Catholic. After blocking a field goal and recording eight tackles against Mount Carmel, Cesario set the bar high for himself in his first playoff action. The junior racked up more than five tackles once again, but his highlight of the night came mid-way through the second quarter. Cesario picked up a fumble forced by Joshua Pericht, and brought it 26-yards into the endzone for a touchdown which gave the Celtics a commanding 28-0 lead.
WATCH: Entire Game of Providence Catholic versus Bradley-Bourbonnais on Patch.
Providence Catholic Stat Pack: Noah Cralle batted down three passes and intercepted one. Brandon Price rushed for 87 yards on 12 carries and scored three times. Dominic Lagone completed 3-of-5 passes for 65 yards and rushed for 71 yards on 14 attempts. David Kaminski rushed for 33 yards on 4 carries, including 2 touchdowns. Andrew Banathy intercepted a pass plus made two tackles for a loss.
Bradley-Bourbonnais Stat Pack: Colin Holderman completed 12-of-28 passes for 142 yards and threw two interceptions. Jarrod Ward had four receptions for 32 yards. Daniel Harris returned a kickoff over 60 yards. Shaun Ohrt caught a 28-yard pass that setup the Boilermaker's lone score. Darion Taylor recorded a sack.
Quotable I: "After [the loss to Mount Carmel] we wanted to get back on the field and correct the mistakes we made," Providence head coach Mark Coglianese said.
Quotable II: "He's definitely smaller, so there's less pressure on me, but I still got to get the job done," Kaminski said comparing Price, who the fullback blocked for on his three touchdown carries, to other running backs he has paved the way for previously.
Quotable III: "I think we have a really good shot at beating Lincoln-Way East, because I feel they haven't played as tough of a schedule [as us]," Cesario said. "I'm not saying the teams they've played are bad, but they're no Mount Carmel or Loyola."
Team Records: Providence Catholic is 8-2. Bradley-Bourbonnais is 6-4.
What's Next: While Bradley-Bourbonnais' season is over, Providence moves on to face Lincoln-Way East next Saturday in the second round of the Class 7A playoffs. The time of the game will be announced Monday.
Scores of Interest: Lincoln-Way East 47, Plainfield Central 22. Oak Forest 29, Hinsdale South 0. Downers Grove North 38, Batavia 26. For more scores, go to IHSAScoreZone.

U.S. News Rankings
|Ranking score and category
Hiram College is a private institution that was founded in 1850. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 1,293, its setting is rural, and the campus size is 700 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Hiram College's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, 156. Its tuition and fees are $30,290 (2013-14).
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
Hiram College offers distinctive programs that set us apart from other small, private liberal arts colleges. Nearly half of Hiram's students study abroad at some point during their four years. Just recently, a group of 19 students led by two faculty members traveled around the world to study climate change, stopping in nine different locations. Common study abroad destinations include France, China, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Galapagos Islands, and several African countries. Because Hiram students receive credits for the courses taught by Hiram faculty on these trips, studying abroad will not impede progress in their majors or delay graduation. Another unique aspect of a Hiram education is our academic calendar, known as the Hiram Plan. Our semesters are divided into 12-week and 3-week periods. Students usually enroll in three courses during each 12-week, and one intensive course during the 3-week. Many students spend the 3-week on study abroad trips or taking unusual courses not typically offered during the 12-week. Our small classes encourage interaction between students and their professors. Students can work with professors on original research projects and often participate in musical groups and intramural sports teams alongside faculty members. All students complete a capstone project in senior year as part of their major. In addition to a major in a traditional academic discipline, all students have opportunities to participate in the activities of Hiram's Centers of Distinction, where they may engage in the study of topics such as entrepreneurship, public policy, creative writing, or biomedical humanities. Finally, the Hiram College Tuition Guarantee ensures that the annual cost for tuition will not increase between the first year a student is enrolled and the student's senior year.

2.73/5 rDev -23.5%
look: 1.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 2 | overall: 2.5
Cloudy, dark, off-amber liquid with a white head that disappears into a rim of thin bubbles in seconds. Very low carbonation. Quite fruity and full of cascade hops, but not as much as their IPA. Tends to be a little sweeter than the IPA too...a thin, sugary, hoppy sweetness as compared to a malty sweetness we would expect. And hey, no corn taste in this one. The finish is bitter and medium long, not as long as the IPA. Pretty much a toned-down, more balanced Harper's IPA.
Serving type: on-tap

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Muddy brown, with the usual nearly absent Harper's head.
Smells hoppy, with a little caramel-like malt presence. Hops are subdued and maybe English?
Tastes malty, with an unexpected hop astringency. I don't know, just not my bag, I guess.
Mouthfeel? not much to speak of here, but nothig to complain about.
Drinkability is OK, but would be better enjoyed during Michigan's two week Spring.

3/5 rDev -16%
look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Poured into a plastic cup, this is a pale straw color with a very thin ring of white head. Very light aroma of pale malt and mellow hops of indeterminate origin.
Palate is lightly sweet up front, pale malt blending with just a touch of fruity hops. A slightly chalky character emerges on the swallow, as well as a bit of astringency. Not offensive, and certainly thirst-quenching, this is still far from a thinking-man's beer.

Harper's pale ale bragged of its use cascade hops in the beer so I knew right off the bat that it probably wasn't going to be too original. The beer was amber with yellow flashes around the edges. Also, it was a bit hazy either from the cold or from being unfiltered. It smelled as expected, full of cascady cirtus goodness. It was pleasantly bitter and expected and had a bit of toasty malt. What I liked the best was the hint of smokiness. It was completely unexpected and it added a very nice dimension to an already good pale ale.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Sampled on 3-28-07
Served in a standard pint glass, cold, but that's typical of Harper's. A nice dark amber color witha quickly fading white head and good lacing around the top of the beer. Smell is kind of grainy, with grassy and floraly hops dominating later on. Taste is good, sweet maltiness folowed by a strong hop spiciness, and then a huge hoppy bitterness kick. Mouthfeel is fine, quite a bit of carbonation makes it a very refreshing beer. Drinkbility is very good, and you can tell it was brewed with this in mind. Overall a good beer, made by a brewpub with college kids in mind, so it's not too complex. But it doesn't disappoint, either.

Taster from the tap on 1-31-10.
The Pale Ale is actually not too bad. Though the board says it is malty, it really isn't, though compared to the rest of their beers I guess it is. It is again a little low on hops. There is not much bitterness though it does have some good floral notes. One of the few beers I'd order a pint of here.

On tap @ harpers 8/6/08, tap to pitcher to standard pint, pours a golden amber reddish, white head fades
smells of deep malts, zesty citric hops, bubblegum
tastes sweet, citrus, bitter, lingering hop finish, spicy, astringent hops, malts hide in the background, biscuity, light yeast - nothing super special, but to style, very flavorful and fresh, sessionable for sure.
mouthfeel is citrus zest, crisp, good amount of carbonation and weight, lingering hops, nice for a hot day.

A well balanced and tasty pale ale. Almost clear deep amber color, with a decent head, and some lacing. Fresh hop aroma with some citrus notes, but no dry hops, there's some malt in there also. Nice clean caramel malt flavor, and drinkable body. Overall a nice pale ale.
Just had a growler for the holiday, and the aroma was fabulous. Hoppy and malty, with citrus tones. Excellent.

Pours from my kegerator with an obvious cascade of carbonation that ends with a 1/2" head in a perfect pint of honey-amber ale. Splotchy lacing is sticking all the way through the pint. This is pretty much a quintessential pale ale. Very tasty, with a toasty, dry, clean malty backbone, topped with a clean, potent, but not overpowering hop bitterness. Hop flavor and aroma are balanced with the malt tones. A very pleasant body, lightish carbonation, makes this beer very easy drinking and refreshing. 5.8% puts it a bit over "session" strength, but not enough to prevent you from having 2-3 pints on a Friday evening. Aftertaste is dry, pale toasty malt tones. All-in-all, a very good beer; not surprising, but an exemplary, classic American Pale Ale.

This episode is entitled "The Workshop," and after all the rehearsing and dancing and crying and belting, this is the (sort of) finished product that Julia, Tom, Derek and Eileen have to show for it. All the big names and deep pockets were invited to watch this rough draft in the hopes that they would be awestruck and impressed enough to invest and fund the show. Bernadette Peters guest stars as Leigh Conroy, Ivy Lynn's tony-winning, Broadway-star mother. It immediately becomes clear that Leigh rather enjoys the spotlight and has zero intention of sharing it with her daughter, which has given Ivy a permanent-runner-up sort of complex. But no time to dwell! Ivy's all hopped up on Prednisone and sleeping pills and she has no self esteem because Derek is an ass and Karen is lurking in every corner and CAN'T A GIRL JUST CATCH A BREAK?! But it's all ok because Ivy took it HOME in the run of the show (or at least, so I thought) and sounded unreal. Sure, she slipped once or twice, but I thought all in all she was a star. Apparently I was the only one, because Derek further hacks away at Ivy's ego and the whole workshop doesn't go over well and the investors are concerned and things just aren't looking great. Well, for everyone but Karen.
Karen is getting contacted by all these super big recording people and Derek loves her and everything just seems to be unicorns and rainbows. Hooray for Karen.
But I thought the real star of this episode was the writing, mostly for Derek Wills and Tom Levitt, who delivered some of the best lines I've heard all season. Here are a few of my favorite moments:
Derek: [on Michael Swift's son coming to visit] "The child thing never ceases to perplex me."
Tom: "That's because you're a reptile."
Derek: "…And then the leading lady got SARS. Remember SARS?"
Ivy: "Who knew your gaydar was so stupid?"
Tom: "My gaydar is not stupid! I do not have stupid gaydar. Ugh."
My hat is off to you, Smash writers, for finally getting it together and delivering some lovely dialogue moments. Bravo.
The other big part of this episode was the rise, climax and denouement of the Julia Houston-Michael Swift relationship. We start the episode with Tom walking in on Julia and Michael hardcore making out like a couple of hormonal teenagers at summer camp, only to find that Ellis has been watching/listening the whole time, like the gross little zit of a human he is. He then runs and tattles to Eileen, who puts him in his place (can I get an AMEN for Eileen?!) but is also now in on the secret. Julia has to leave rehearsal crying when she sees Michael playing with his son and ends their little affair, but Michael is not having it. We reach our climax during the run of the show, when Michael delivers an absolutely goosebump-inducing performance directly to Julia. This is effectively his last performance as Joe DiMaggio as, during the debrief of the workshop, Tom suggests firing Michael in an effort to revamp the show slash save Julia's sanity and marriage. So, peace out Michael Swift. It's been real.
Whew! I think this was probably one of the best episodes of Smash to date—finally, some plot progress! And the musical numbers in this show, like the actual music of them, are outstanding. I now have a Smash Pandora station and I love it. I am cautiously optimistic for the rest of the series, given they keep this momentum going. But ya know, as long as there is belting, I will be watching.
Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for watching KPRC Local 2!

I wear a -9.00 and have been wearing these for years. I am a volunteer lifeguard and even swim with these. I have never lost one in the surf. I recommend taking these out at night and soaking in contact lens solution which is better health for your eyes(I don't think regularly sleeping with these is wise..give your eyes a break!) and it means you can use these for longer, even 6 weeks. A cheaper option is the Air Optix Aqua which is similar except that have more water content and therefore may be more comfortable.

These were great for the first couple of months, but then my eyes started to get really irritated. They would often float so that the contact was hovering over my eye but not touching my eye completely, or not settling, causing blurred vision. It didn't happen as much if I took them out at night, but it's a pretty expensive contact to have to take out every night when you're paying for 30 days and nights. Might as well just get the ones you take out at night. This reviewer is employed by drugstore.com or its affiliate and this review represents his/her honest opinions, findings, and/or experiences

Comments about Air Optix Night & Day Aqua Contact Lens, 6 lenses per box:
I have been wearing these contact lens for several years now. I like them because I can wear them for 30 days with no problems. I do take them out about one time per week to rinse them and to rest my eyes a bit. I recommend using rewetting drops at night before bed and then again upon waking.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have very poor vision which has been corrected with contacts and glasses over for almost 30 years. I switched to Night & Day at my Dr's advice for better breathability for my eyes. I am very pleased as they are comfortable and safer. The slight bit of dryness in the desert climate is corrected with the rewetting drops used twice daily and if needed. These are the "Top of the Line" lenses.

Her surviving family members include her loving husband, Michael B. Schutt; treasured daughter Robyn T. Chesebrough; brothers James Petrous and Walter Benson of Hudson, Fla., and Anthony Petrous and his wife Nancy of Boxford; many dear-to-her-heart nieces and nephews.

From left, Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth arrive at the world premiere of "The Hunger Games" in Los Angeles.
Hundreds of fans who camped out overnight in front of the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles were rewarded with tickets to "The Hunger Games" premiere.
The frenzy surrounding the big-screen adaptation of the first book in the young-adult series took over the plaza in front of the theater Monday, with fans and media lining the black carpet.
Ticket websites report anticipation for "The Hunger Games" film matches and may even surpass that for the "Twilight" movies. The last film in that series is set for a fall release.
"The Hunger Games" stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth as teens fighting for survival in a government-controlled world that hosts annual televised games in which participants are forced to kill their opponents.
The film is set for release March 23.

I can not say enough about this product!! I have a 16 year old siamese. He has always been a thin cat, but was getting really skinny. I put the calorie booster on his food; his eating had reduced to 1/3 of a can of friskies 2X a day. The Calorie Booster has put a little weight on, his coat is shining, and he seems to have a little more energy.

Comments about GNC PETS 1020873 GNC Ultra Mega High Calorie Booster for All Cats - Yummy Chicken Flavor - VALUE SIZE:
a little while ago, my moms cat violet got sick and refused to eat. she was to the point when we needed to inject her with fluids the vet gave us cause she wouldn't drink either. it seemed so hopeless when she wouldn't even sit up anymore, we started thinking about putting her to sleep. but my dad bought this at a pet store and put about a teaspoon on his finger in front of her. she opened her eyes and sniffed once or twice then gobbled it right up! we gave her small amounts at first in fear of her barfing it up but she held it down fine! and she got better and back to her normal weight in under a month (SHE LOST ALOT BY THE WAY) yep this is a really great product!

Student Debt Relief Companies Profit from Borrower Confusion, Report Says
A National Consumer Law Center study says many debt relief companies are profiting on student borrowers.
As the level of student loan debt continues to grow and millions are struggling to repay their loans, a "debt relief industry" has sprung up to address the concerns of distressed borrowers and help them navigate an array of complex borrower-assistance programs. But many companies are taking advantage of borrowers' confusion by charging them high fees for services they can get for free from the federal government, according to a report from the National Consumer Law Center.
As a part of its investigation, the NCLC made secret shopper calls to 10 such debt relief companies, reviewed company contracts and consumer complaints, and discussed the issue with federal regulators and other experts. The report found that the companies tend to mischaracterize government programs as their own, charge high fees for free programs and give inaccurate and misleading information about the student loan industry.
When borrowers default on their student loans, meaning they are at least 90 days late on their payments, they may face consequences like wage garnishment, damage to their credit scores and evenlegal action. According to a report from the New York Federal Reserve, 17 percent, or 6.7 million borrowers, are in default. Because many of the defaulted borrowers are unaware of government assistance programs available to those with federal student loans, or unable to navigate the enrollment process, they sometimes turn to outside companies for help.
[READ: What Elizabeth Warren Gets Wrong (and Right) About Student Loans]
But the companies that the NCLC investigated charged borrowers initial fees of up to $1,600 to sign them up for "one-size-fits-all" consolidation and repayment plans to help them get out of default, according to the report. Some also charge monthly fees of $20 to $50 for ongoing services.
"It is unlikely that these companies are providing quality services in return for the money they are charging," the report said. "Such practices severely compound the pain of vulnerable consumers seeking to find resolutions to difficult student debt problems."
Chris Lindstrom, director of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group's higher education program, says she hopes the Department of Education "takes the report to heart." If the department did a better job of marketing the services that are already available, she said, borrowers wouldn't feel the need "to pay somebody to help them access the programs."
"This is another area where loan borrowers end up incurring even more costs," Lindstrom says. "To the extent that they can, the department needs to get in there and do more aggressive outreach to help lower the overall costs folks are incurring."

But Daren Briscoe, the department's press secretary, said that while it does not oversee the debt relief companies, the department has provided several counseling tools to assist borrowers with managing their debt and avoiding scams, such as the Financial Awareness Counseling Tool.
"While the Department has no authority over those private entities," it has launched a student financial aid website with many "no-cost tools and resources for borrowers, including information on several repayment plans available to borrowers," he said.
The report also concluded that some of the companies' actions may violate numerous consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Telemarketing Sales Rule and the federal Credit Repair Organizations Act.
Some of the potential violations stem from companies not including a three-day cancellation right in contracts, and requiring borrowers make payments before the company will initiate its services, the report said.
One company that offers debt relief services to student loan borrowers is Student Consulting Group Inc., formerly known as the University of One.

Last July, the Better Business Bureau of West Florida revoked the company's accreditation for failing to "eliminate the underlying cause of complaints on file."

A Floyd County woman has been arrested and preliminarily charged with murder after a man was shot in her home at 3803 Wabash Ave. Monday night.
Lisa M. Shuler, 31, appeared for an advisement of rights hearing in Floyd County Superior Court No. 3, but has not been officially charged. Floyd County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Steve Owen was granted a 72-hour continuance to issue charges against Shuler.
Owen requested the continuance as prosecutors were still receiving information from investigators, he said during the hearing. Owen said Tuesday that he expects the state to issue a charge of murder Wednesday.
Granger scheduled Shuler's initial hearing at 1:15 p.m. Thursday, at which time she is expected to hear her charges. Owen also requested Floyd County Judge Maria Granger hold Shuler in the Floyd County Jail without bond, an order which she issued that will remain in effect until a future proceeding.
A press conference had been scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at the Floyd County Sheriff's Department to provide area media with information pertaining to the shooting, but the meeting was canceled, as officials wanted to obtain more information before speaking openly. The press conference was tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday.
Floyd County Sheriff Darrell Mills did say Tuesday afternoon that Shuler knew the man who was fatally shot at about 9 p.m. Monday.
"They were acquaintances, but to what extent, I don't know at this point," Mills said. "That is still being determined by an ongoing investigation."
Mills said the man Shuler is believed to have shot was taken to Floyd Memorial Hospital and Health Services in New Albany and died either in transport or at the hospital.
The home where the shooting occurred is located north of the New Albany city limit between Grant Line and Charlestown roads.

It's difficult, in these days of partisan politics, to find a public official who is supported by Republicans, Democrats and independents alike. But in the town of Oneonta, Janet Hurley-Quackenbush is precisely that individual. That's why we need her on the county Board of Representatives.
Janet has repeatedly been re-elected to the town board with the votes of people from all sides of the political spectrum. While a business owner, she knows the value of good public investments in the town pool, our parks and our environment. She works with people on both sides of the political aisle to achieve solutions. Janet is driven to get answers and find solutions, not score political points.
We're not in the same political party, but that's OK. I want a county representative who can listen to everyone at the table and work with all sides. Having been on the town board for as many years as she had, she has fielded more than one of my questions and concerns in not only a timely fashion, but gone above and beyond to personally find a resolution, and follow up with me to ensure I was satisfied with the outcome. That's why I am proud to cast my vote for Janet Hurley-Quackenbush for county board.

Emergency meeting on drought crisis
Ministerial-level meeting to address drought crisis
Horn of Africa to be focus of 25 July session in Rome
FAO is convening an emergency ministerial-level meeting on Monday 25 July 2011 to address deteriorating drought conditions in the Horn of Africa and several other regions worldwide.
Organized at the request of the French Government, currently chairing the G20, the meeting will look at possible measures to address the crisis, which is affecting food supplies and prices in several countries. The meeting itself does not intend to be a pledging conference.
In a special report published on 20 July 2011, the FAO-managed Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit for Somalia and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network officially declared a state of famine in two regions of southern Somalia. The report warns that in the next one or two months famine will become widespread throughout southern Somalia.
Technical background papers will be published on this webpage as they become available.
FAO wishes to thank the French and Spanish Governments for their generous contribution to the organization of this event.

PM summoned to Commons over Hunt
12:58pm Monday 30th April 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
David Cameron has been dramatically summoned to explain to MPs why he has not ordered a probe into Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
Commons Speaker John Bercow approved an urgent question tabled by Labour demanding to know why the issue of Mr Hunt's links to News Corporation has not been handed to independent adviser on ministerial interests Sir Alex Allan.
Downing Street confirmed that the Prime Minister - who had been due to visit Milton Keynes campaigning for local elections - will respond personally in the Commons.
On Sunday, Mr Cameron offered qualified support to his Cabinet minister, who is facing calls to resign over his handling of the BSkyB deal.
The premier insisted he did not currently believe the ministerial code had been broken - although he also hinted that an independent investigation could take place after Mr Hunt has given evidence to the Leveson Inquiry.
He also said Mr Hunt's special adviser Adam Smith had been right to resign over "too close, too frequent" contacts with News Corp lobbyist Frederic Michel.
But on Monday morning, Labour leader Ed Miliband sought to broaden the controversy by saying it "goes to the character of the Government".
The decision by Mr Bercow could fuel tensions with Number 10, amid sniping about bias and grandstanding.
Labour believes it is the first time a prime minister has been summoned to the House since urgent questions were introduced a decade ago.
A senior party source said: "He should have not been dragged. He should be doing the right thing."

When it comes to wearing capes, many women (ourselves included) get aggravated by how a seemingly uncomplicated item can raise so many sartorial questions. We found a few good women who have worn capes well to showcase your style options. Starting back in 2005, Sienna Miller wore a petite black cape and short, slightly pleated skirt while out and about in London. Nicole Richie was cape-tivated by this trend in 2006, when she wore a hip-length, snowy cape with skinny jeans and knee-high boots for shopping at Fred Segal. Lindsay Lohan crusaded with her cape and some wide leg jeans in New York in early 2007, also choosing the same versatile, hip length like Richie. Kate Moss picked an abbreviated, sparkly, fancy cape in October when she attended a party celebrating her holiday collection for Topshop. She paired her vintage Deco capelet with a black satin cat suit; leave it to Glossy Mossy to mix decades flawlessly. Finally, we have Rosario Dawson, seen above last week, en route to a Dolce & Gabbana party in New York City. Her dramatic gray cape looks modern, thanks to the double-breasted row of buttons and high collar.
Thanks to the military and equestrian elements on the Fall 07 runways, there are loads of great capes for your purchasing pleasure. Check out Zac Posen, Stella McCartney, Chloe, and Michael Kors for their sublime riffs on this outerwear style. Or you can take a gander at Burberry's Military Cape ($895), which is available now. It's a wool and cashmere bit of gorgeousness, with a stand collar and very official looking shoulder shields. Topshop has a similarly shaped version, their Short Belted Cape ($140) obviously has different design elements, but the vibe is similar. One of our favorite variations comes courtesy of Delia's. The Ashley Capelet ($58.50) is quite sophisticated, especially for the price, and is available in camel only via the web and catalog. Finally, for a modern, wearable cape, don't miss the Jovovitch-Hawk Dylan Cape ($465). It's slim and cropped making it the easiest way to try the loitering trend.

Statement from WSU President Elson S. Floyd
PULLMAN, Wash. - The Governor's proposed budget would have devastating consequences across our state with huge impacts on higher education, K-12 education and health and human services. This budget does not reflect core Washington values. At Washington State University, it would dramatically and directly impact our students. This disinvestment in our future generations undermines the future of Washington State. I will vigorously oppose these cuts at every level.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — When it comes to Notre Dame, Sooner fans have long memories
Tradition is omnipresent at Oklahoma. Drive past Owen Field and the 85,000-seat stadium doesn't hide that seven national championship teams called it home.
However, there are other programs that sit on the top shelf of college football's traditional powers. The Sooners will meet another on Saturday when they face Notre Dame.
It's hard for those younger than 60 to believe there was a time when the Sooners were still fighting for attention. That's what first led then-coach Bud Wilkinson to get Notre Dame on the schedule back in 1952.
"There was something about that great Notre Dame tradition during those years. It was pretty much like Oklahoma in the last 50 years. Everybody wants to knock off the big gorilla. That's the way Notre Dame was viewed," said Jay Wilkinson, the son of the coach that turned the Sooners into a college football super power in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. "The fact you were playing against a school with that kind of reputation, respect and tradition, obviously added a dimension of respect and excitement."
Understanding how big OU's initial meetings with the Fighting Irish were is hard to qualify. The world was a lot different place. It was long before the days of college football-saturated Saturday television.
OU's first nationally televised game was its 27-21 loss at Notre Dame in 1952.
It only appeared on national television twice during its historic 47-game winning streak from 1953-57. Two of those meetings were against the Fighting Irish — OU's 40-0 romp at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., in 1956 and Notre Dame's 7-0 win at Owen Field that ended the winning streak in 1957.
"It was a young man's dream to get out of high school and live the dream all the thousands of kids in Oklahoma wanted to live. Everyone wanted to play at this university," said former OU running back Clendon Thomas who was a star running back from 1955-57. "When you get the chance, it was a very big deal."
It was playing against the likes of Notre Dame that made that dream seem so large. The fact the Sooners' winning streak has losses to Notre Dame at both ends is what brings out so much nostalgia.
Jay Wilkinson believes he's met thousands of people who claim they either watched OU's loss to Notre Dame in person or on television.
Ask any player who played for the Sooners in 1957, and it is the game that still sticks in the heads. Bud Wilkinson told his team at halftime of that game wins are easy to forget, but losses stick around for a lifetime.
"Fifty years later, he was right about that," former OU running back Jakie Sandefer said. "I'm semi-famous for being the starting halfback on the day we lost."
The Sooners and Fighting Irish have met five more times since the 1957 loss. At least one of the programs was influx in every meeting. That includes 1999 when OU lost to the Fighting Irish in Bob Stoops' first season.
Stoops isn't building up the history between the schools this week. Why would he? OU's 1-8 all-time against Notre Dame, and they've played just once since Lyndon Johnson was president.
But those who were around for the building of OU's tradition remember how big it was the first time the Sooners played Notre Dame and what it was like to beat them.
"People have long memories and OU's fans have great pride in the great tradition that was built not only through my day but Barry Switzer and Coach Stoops and all the great players that have played," Wilkinson said. " So, yeah, I'm thrilled they're coming and I really hope we lay it to them."

A ponzi scheme is a carefully orchestrated financial scam, yet there are some simple truths that make them work. We've taken a look at how ponzi schemes begin and how the scammers generate big money.
Mention the name Bernie Madoff and the word ponzi scheme probably come to mind.
In 2008, Madoff admitted to stealing billions from investors, masterminding the largest ponzi scheme is history.
His sentence was 150 years behind bars.
But you don't have to travel in New York's social circles to be a victim of a ponzi scheme.
Michael D. Anderson, Assistant U.S. Attorney explains how it works, "One thing we have seen in these scams is that people are often brought in by friends and family members or people from church who are well-meaning but fallen to the victims themselves, so people should do their own research."
Anderson says ponzi schemes are a growing problem in the United States. In fact, one recent case had almost 400 victims and a staggering $16 Million in losses. Law enforcement and Postal Inspectors want investors to know the signs of a scam.
Anderson has a warning, "Something people need to be aware of is investments offering to return 40% or even 20%, something that is much more than what they can get in a normal Investment, often those are frauds or schemes."
Troy Dickinson, US Postal Inspector, "One other thing consumers should be aware of – is when someone claims to be a stock broker – you can research it on your own with websites such as the SEC."
Ponzi schemes work when a bogus investment operation pays out returns from money paid in by the next group of investors, rather than from profits earned. If investors aren't cautious, they can get caught up in the cycle and lose everything.
"Some had to delay their retirement - they cashed in their 401K - they lost everything they had. On top of all that, when the suspects were arrested, there was no money left to give back to the victims", Dickinson said.
Postal Inspectors say scam artists often display their wealth to potential victims, claiming they are able to afford the luxury items because of investments.
So do your research. Don't invest with anyone until you thoroughly check them out. One cliché holds true—better to be safe than sorry.

JOLIETT, Ill. --- California Baptist University placed all five competitors in the top five, including three first place finishers, in the NCCAA National Track Championships on Saturday.
Six of the seven CBU competitors this weekend earned All-American honors by finishing in the top three of their respective events.
"I've very proud at how well each one of our athletes ran and competed today," Head Coach Ben Gall said. "CBU was definitely represented well today."
Ashlee Cervantes won the women's 800 meter run, setting the school record along the way, with a time of 2:12.25 narrowly beating the finisher from Spring Arbor by 45 hundredths of a second. Both finished nearly three seconds a head of the bronze finisher and the rest of the pack.
In the men's 800 meter run, Chase Williams became the national champion, running a 1:53.01 and finished more than a full second ahead of Donovan Graham from Grace. Williams had previously earned All-American recognition with a 800-meter title at the NCCAA Indoor National Championships in late February.
Sergio Rodriguez finished with nearly a six and a half seconds margin of victory, recording a time of 9:27.80, the only sub-9:30 time of the men's 3000 meter steeplechase.
"Every runner ran a race to put them in contention and a good spot to win," Gall said.
Mitchell Moore finished second in the 5000 meter run, with a time of 14:59.35. In the women's 3000 meter steeple chase, Naomi Van Setten and Bethany Bilton finished second and fifth, with times of 11:14.99 and 11:44.24, respectively.
Cervantes, Williams, Rodriguez, Moore and Van Setten each earned All-American honors to join Jacquie Lutz who placed second in the women's 10000 meter run on Friday.
As a team, despite limited numbers, both CBU's men's and women's team placed tenth.

A burglary indictment filed against a Tarrant County man, shot during a reported break-in, has been dismissed.
Taurs Dwight Jones of Arlington had entered a plea of not guilty to an indictment of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault.
Jury selection in Jones' trial was scheduled Tuesday in the 354th District Court.
The Hunt County District Attorney's Office filed a motion with the court Tuesday morning, seeking the dismissal of the charge at the request of the reporting party.
Jones was wounded during the March 13, 2011 incident at a local apartment.
The resident of the apartment reported that Jones came in and began to assault another person who was visiting him.
The resident, who was also assaulted, retrieved a firearm to protect himself.
During the confrontation Jones was shot once.

Date Reviewed: May 13, 2011
Strengths: Sturdy. Looks.
Weaknesses: On of the pedals (Wellgo Alloy Platform BO87) was making a clicking sound and had to be replaced.
Bottom Line:
No creaks or issues so far, but no aggresive riding yet (wife not very skilled). No compliants about the Spinner fork (100mm) travel. It has a hydraulic lockout. Solid assembly by the LBS. 2011 components a step up from 2010, so consider that carefully when comparing prices.
Solid formed and butted frame. Looks great.
The LT3 tires are designed for light trail and dirt path riding, not serious trail riding. Spend an extra $120 for knobby tires and hydraulic disc brakes, and it will both save you the cost of upgrading the tires at a later dath and give you hydraulics. Brakes do the job and stop on a dime in dry conditions.
