---- — ASPEN, Colo. — Nikolai M. Valdmanis and Kate M. Rasmussen exchanged marriage vows on Dec. 28, 2012, in Aspen.
Among the witnesses for the couple were Traverse City natives Barbara Weber, Tim Emling and Mark Williams. Following the ceremony, friends and co-workers helped create a fun-loving atmosphere and the newlyweds spent the rest of their wedding day skiing on Aspen Mountain. A moment in the daylong celebration was captured and published by the Aspen Times newspaper.
Kate is the daughter of William T. Rasmussen and Christine Walton, both of Traverse City. She graduated from Traverse City Central High School, attended FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in Los Angeles and Loyola University in Chicago. Kate is employed by Kemo Sabe in Aspen.
Nikolai is the son of Andris and Donna Valdmanis of Traverse City. He graduated from Traverse City Central High School and received a degree in Hospitality Business from Michigan State University. Nikolai is employed by Aspen Skiing Company at The Limelight Hotel, and also at Gisella Aspen.
The couple are planning a Traverse City party in the near future.

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
Hey Nobel Prize in Medicine! You've got competition. This morning, a bevy of techoscenti billionaires including Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin announced the first recipients of their Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, a $3 million award "recognizing excellence in research aimed at curing intractable diseases and extending human life." This year, there are 11 recipients, meaning a total $33 million payout, but in the future five annual awards will be planned, totalling $15 million.
The award is the brainchild of billionaire Yuri Milner, an early Facebook investor, who gives a similar prize in physics. Aside from Brin and Zuckerberg, he is joined by: Anne Wojcicki, Brin's wife and the chief executive of 23andMe, the consumer genetics startup; Priscilla Chan, Zuckerberg's wife and a physician who is in residency; and Art Levinson, the chairman of the board at Apple who previously, as chief executive of Genentech, was the most respected leader in the pharmaceutical industry. The awards are being announced formally later today at conference led by Susan Desmond-Hellmann, once Levinson's right-hand woman and now chancellor of UCSF.
"I believe this new prize will shine a light on the extraordinary achievements of the outstanding minds in the field of life sciences, enhance medical innovation, and ultimately become a platform for recognizing future discoveries," Levinson said in a prepared statement. Added Brin: "Curing a disease should be worth more than a touchdown."
So what brain trust did this brain trust decide to present checks to? Interestingly, though not surprisingly, it's a list that focuses on those who have actually changed medicine and biotechnology, even inventing new drugs. One is even one of Levinson's old employees. The winners:
Cornelia I. Bargmann of Rockefeller University studies a primitive worm, C. elegans, which has only 302 neurons in its brain. The idea is that by studying this tiny brain, we can learn how brains work, and Bargmann's opinions are sought out by neuroscientists and psychiatrists.
David Botstein of Princeton University developed, in 1980, a method for discovering disease genes that was used to find the BRCA breast cancer gene, a test for which is the main product of Myriad Genetics, and the genetic mutation that causes Huntington's. Eighteen years later he led a team that figured out new ways to analyze data from the tiny "DNA chips" that were revolutionizing genetics. He's now studying how yeast consume food and create energy, an effort that could lead to a new understanding of lots of biological problems, including how cancer cells eat.
Lewis C. Cantley of Weill Cornell Medical College, who discovered an enzyme called PI3 kinase that is a key drug target for new medicines against cancer. He is a co-founder of Agios Pharmaceuticals and a pioneer in the field of Systems Biology, which tries to put the pieces looked at by geneticists and molecular biologists into a more coherent whole.
Dr. Hans Clevers, director of the Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research in the Netherlands, who has been one of the leading figures in the discovery that stem cells play a role in the development of cancer.
Dr. Napoleone Ferrara of the University of California, San Diego, at Genentech did work that led the creation of Avastin, for colon and other cancers, and Lucentis, for age-related macular degeneration. Both drugs work by stopping a process called angiogenesis, which in feeds tumors and, in eye disease, results in too much blood entering the eye and causing damage.
Titia de Lange of Rockefeller University studies telomeres, the protective ends of the chromosomes that contain human DNA. When these degrade, they can lead to some types of cancer.
Eric S. Lander of the Broad Institute of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lander is most famous for his leadership role in the Human Genome Project and for his work running the Broad Institute, which has become one of the hot spots for genetic research. But he's also responsible for helping to develop a molecular taxonomy of cancer and for mentoring many of the top researchers in the field.
Dr. Charles L. Sawyers It's not just that Sawyers, of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, looks into the molecular signals that drive a cell to cancer, it's that he's twice played a key role in getting drugs that affect those signals to patients. The first time was with Gleevec, from Novartis, which started off the race for DNA-targeted cancer drugs. The second, more recently, was Medivation's Xtandi, for prostate cancer patients, which was recently approved.
Dr. Bert Vogelstein of Johns Hopkins University, devised a model for the progression of colon cancer that is widely used in colonoscopy. More recently he is one of the very top minds looking at how genetic alterations lead to cancer.
Robert A. Weinberg of M.I.T., discovered the first human gene that, when mutated, causes cancer, setting up science to understand cancer as a series of genetic mutations.
Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University and the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, figured out how to make what are known as induced pluripotent stem cells. These resemble embryonic stem cells, which can in theory turn into any part of the body, but they are far more useful for studying what goes wrong to make disease happen. In a few years they have already revolutionized biology.
Next year, this year's winners will help pick the next batch of luminaries.
Is this a good way for Zuckerberg et. al to spend their cash? There's no way to argue with that list: those are great people to be giving an award and they all deserve it. I'm mostly thrilled at the idea that Vogelstein and Bargmann and Yamanaka are all going to be flush.
But I have trouble believing that this award is going to make any of them much more famous. Most people reading this will probably remember Milner and Brin more than Sawyers and Napo Ferrera. And, as Forbes contributor David Shaywitz noted on Twitter, among biologists these folks are already idolized. What they all need are funds to keep them in the field, not new people to look up to. Brin is speaking my language when he says that curing disease should be worth more than a touchdown. Even with prizes that big, I'm not sure it is.
Still, the awards are a good step. Let's hope that as years pass, they draw more and more attention to the amazing things happening in science and medicine.
Update: I interviewed Art Levinson about the prize.
Thanks to Dennis Overbye at the New York Times, whose collection of links to the web pages of the winners I used in creating this story. This post has been updated from its original version.
odd…no investment bankers? These are good guys with good ideas…as oppose to the crooks on wall street and in Washington!
A la Carnegie, Rockefeller, Kauffman and other donors – its great to see this next generation of billionaires recognizing and supporting people pushing the boundaries of our learning and wellbeing.
I suppose the awards will make these folks richer, but Vogelstein et al have already been very successful financially. I agree that these awards aren't likely to increase their "star power" – if you're going to consider them a celebrity, you've already heard of them. Craig Venter must be taking a long lonely yacht cruise tonight.
The first group was selected and will be the committee that searches for the next group of recipients. My feeling is that they chose the people they did because they are well respected for long-term mentoring and committee skills, as well as their scientific research. This makes them great for forming a long-term foundation dedicated to selecting award recipients.
Because, if it's not obvious, that's what Milner et al are doing here: creating a sped-up, more-flexible mechanism for awarding innovative research (compared to Nobel), and I assume they expect it to last a long time. The actual size of the principal backing the awards presumably is large enough to sustain a few years, but it's also possible it's large enough they can give this level of awards indefinitely.
The website is up, and it includes an outline of the award plans. There are a number of superficial points about how it's structured, and what it will do in the future (but all too many "please check back later" as well). Note that anybody can nominate a potential recipient (hate to be the person handling *that* email address).
This is truly a Wonderful thing being done by these Cyber-geek Billionaires. Ive noticed that these types of billionaires are not usually motivated by money and the disease of "more money". It gives me great hope that these Tech-Giants care about what matters more in life than the trivial and material. And recognize Scientists as more valuable to society than Tom Brady. Hope to see more of it.
You think you could help me out I do not need that much. lol
I question the scale of the awards. I think it shows the level of disconnect between Silicon Valley and biology researchers: To the foundation, 3 million dollars per person appears to be a normal award amount, but I bet all eleven winners would have been just as happy, and far less shocked and confused, with even 10% of the money. Breakthrough scientific research doesn't come from just a handful of scientists who have already made a name for themselves, but from collaborations between many researchers. While I'm thrilled that the tech community has shown a real interest in the life sciences, I would have liked to see slightly smaller individual prizes, and maybe some money made available by the standard process of application and review to emerging labs, researchers, and initiatives. Preserving a broad network of researchers may in the long run be more rewarding than only awarding the top talent.
And when it comes to angiogenesis – two important facts:
1. Judah Folkman first published his concept of tumor angiogenesis in 19718. He postutaled that the recruitment of dedicated blood vessels is essential to tumor growth but he never got a Nobel prize while he was alive.
2. It ia also well known that angiogenesis is a vital function for healthy tissues too, so messing with it causes side effects (Avastin) and in any case just slows down things until cancer cells find a way to dodge the drug (see also HIV drug-resistance evolution; rings a bell?).
Totally correct, Matt – "drug that made Folkman's vision a reality"!
But that discovery was already properly rewarded. I think, it would have been better if those 3 million dollars were given to someone who would possibly "refine" the drug – i.e. make it attack specifically the tumor cells (and as far as I know there are scientist which do work on similar issues). Well, hopefully this will happen one day.

Why Internal Audit Must Assess and Provide Assurance Over the Management of Risk
Norman Marks, CRMA, CPA, was a chief audit executive and chief risk officer at major global corporations for more than 20 years. The views expressed in this blog are his personal views and may not represent those of The IIA.
It is heartening to see more and more organizations requiring their internal audit departments to assess and provide an opinion on the effectiveness of risk management — or, using my preferred language, the management of risk by the organization.
I did a short video with Richard Chambers, President and CEO of Global IIA, on this topic. This was after I had posted a "tweet" saying that internal audit leaders who failed to provide assurance on risk management "deserved a seat at the children's table." While most laughed and agreed, this did draw some criticism from other internal audit leaders.
As I explain in the video, internal audit needs to focus on the risks that matter to the organization if they are to be relevant. Often, the greatest risk is that the organization's leaders are not aware of the risks between them and their objectives.
Do you agree with my observation?
Do you agree also that not having expertise in risk management is no excuse: that expertise must be obtained, even if requires going to an external source, i.e., co-sourcing.
You might be interested in other short videos on the value of internal audit performing SOX testing and internal audit's role in organizational governance. Do you agree with my comments?

Paying Off Your Credit Cards & Debt
With most personal problems, the hardest part can be admitting to yourself that you have a problem.
The same holds true for financial problems. Many people may feel ashamed of their money troubles and instead of trying to fix them - either alone or with the proper professional guidance - ignore their problems, thereby making them worse.
The only person that can get you out of debt is you. It takes planning to set a goal and discipline to stick to it. But when you succeed, the rewards are worthwhile.Alternative Payment Card Options Ways to Save Getting Help Debt FAQs Helping Friends & Family Get Out Of Debt

I've been using this product for over 3 years. My doctor prescribed CLA to help prevent breast cancer; however, it's also done exactly what the label says it will do - reduce body fat and increase lean muscle. So I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it.

Like most CLA-products, these softgels a quite big, but they are rounded and smooth and easy to swallow. I take a couple of theese a day with meals. I combine it with green tea to fight my body fat. I've used this combination before with great success. I'm perfectly happy with it, and will purchase again when it runs low. The jar comes with a screw cap which is nice, but I wish they would get rid of those hard-to-remove safety seals. ======================================================================================================= Click my name KurtJacobsen ▲ at the top of this review (blue text) to visit my profile and learn more, thanks! ======================================================================================================= iHerb.com has become my favorite place to shop supplements, and I'm not alone, because iHerb has been named #1 online supplement store by ConsumerLab.com the last 6 years in a row! I've been using them for quite some time, and there have never been any problems whatsoever. For customers from outside USA (like me) I recommend the delivery option "Global Priority Mail by DHL". It is incredibly cheap at just 4$, and I always receive the goods here in Denmark (4000 miles away) within 6-8 days. Please also note that chances are high that you will NOT pay any additional custom duties and taxes, when "Global Priority Mail by DHL" is used. ======================================================================================================= I spend a lot of time writing reviews, so if you found this one helpful, please let me know by clicking the "helpful"-button below the review.

They work but the thing is you MUST work out and eat healthy, if you don't they have no effect what so ever. When I did work out and take theses they made my belly fat go down and I had better energy during exercise. But when I stopped working out, it stopped working.

I've been taking the CLA-1300 for approximately 2-weeks & thus far, seems to be working fairly well. My understanding is true results take effect in approx 3-weeks after faithful use. Additionally, I read that the CLA-1300 can be "assisted" with Green Tea. I'm gonna keep using it as it has been holding my cravings back and I have not been as hungry.

Enfield named in bottom ten for food safety enforcement (From Enfield Independent)
Get involved: send your pictures, video & news by texting ENFIELD NEWS to 80360, or upload here
Enfield has been named in the bottom ten for food safety enforcement, according to a study by consumer magazine Which?
Updated 5:18pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Charlie Peat
Enfield has been named amongst the worst authorities in the country for food safety.
An investigation by consumer magazine Which? into food safety enforcement deemed Enfield Borough Council to be in the bottom ten of 395 authorities across the UK.
Of the 2,356 establishments rated by the local authority, 942 were deemed non-compliant with food standards - almost 40 per cent.
However, Enfield Borough Council has taken action against 89 per cent of those establishments that fell below the compliance level.
In comparison, Bexley was voted the worst authority with 556 of its 1,302 establishments rated non-compliant, 43 per cent.
The best authority in the country was Cherwell in the South East. Of its 1,165 establishments, 97 per cent (1,130) were voted within the food standards.
The study, based on data from the Food Standards Agency, also shows overall food testing for the whole country fell by 6.8 per cent from the previous year.
In response to the statistics, the council's cabinet member for environment, Councillor Chris Bond, said: "We have a fantastically diverse and thriving range of food businesses in Enfield, which deliver a brilliant service to thousands of satisfied customers every week.
"However, it is nonsense on the part of Which? and actually counterproductive to actively penalise food safety teams who go out into the community and find examples of bad practice, under their scoring regime, authorities which carry out robust inspections and identify failings are rated as worse than authorities which conduct less forensic investigations into food hygiene – to my mind that is wrong.
"In Enfield, we focus our effort and resources on conducting very thorough inspections of the highest risk food businesses in the borough in order to protect the public from harm."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The state has received a $221,000 federal grant that will be used to expand a juvenile court project that screens youth for mental health, substance abuse and family services.
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services said in a news release that the funding will expand the screening process for youth referred to juvenile courts, provide support services to families and increase the use of evidence-based therapeutic practices for the juvenile justice population.
Between August 2010 and July 2012, more than 2,600 juveniles have been screened across 10 counties, resulting in almost 1,400 referrals for mental health, substance abuse and family services.
The grant will allow expansion of this program into more counties

The MIT Sloan School of Management has launched a new Laboratory for Sustainable Business (S-Lab) devoted to reconciling the environmental challenges posed by free-market capitalism with the need for more sustainable business practices, MIT announced earlier this month.
The lab was developed in response to the threats of changing weather patterns, stronger storms and rising sea levels brought on by the dramatic increase in global temperatures.
"As a world leader in business, engineering and science, MIT is uniquely positioned to define the risks and opportunities involved in creating sustainability-based business models for the future," says MIT Sloan Prof. Richard Locke, one of six professors at the business school who collaborated in the creation of the course.
S-Lab recognizes climate change as one of the most daunting challenges mankind faces in creating a sustainable society, says Locke. "A critical issue for global warming is the ways in which the risks are communicated, and the framing of the solutions, both for specific organizations and for communities," he says. "S-Lab will teach future CEOs and business leaders the challenges of implementation and how the science of sustainability can be best communicated to policymakers and citizens."
Key to addressing sustainability, says Locke, is in re-defining it. "Up until now we have considered aspects of sustainability — climate, energy, water, food, poverty, and social development — in isolation," he says. "S-Lab is developing an integrated framework to consider the system-wide dynamics of human society along with tools and methodologies for measuring and monitoring sustainability efforts and their applications."

Bilateral Total Hip Replacement at Holland Hospital is First in West Michigan
Holland Hospital recently became the first hospital in our region, and one of the few hospitals in the nation, to replace both hips in one surgery session. Each year, nearly 200,000 Americans living with debilitating hip pain find relief by undergoing hip replacement. Typically, if both hips need to be replaced patients undergo the surgery in two stages several months apart.
The single-session bilateral total hip replacement was performed on April 2, 2012, by orthopedic surgeon Derick Johnson, DO, of The Bone & Joint Center and Holland Hospital surgical staff. "Single-session bilateral hip replacements have been performed elsewhere in the country, but none that we are aware of in this area or perhaps even in Michigan," Dr. Johnson says.
Dr. Johnson's special training and experience with the anterior approach for total hip replacement make him uniquely qualified for the double procedure. With this approach, the hip joint is reached from the front (anterior) rather than the back or side. Because the patient lies on his or her back, both hips can be replaced at the same time, typically cutting total recovery time in half.
"A big benefit of the anterior approach is that instead of cutting or detaching muscle, we work through the natural separation between muscles," explains Dr. Johnson. The result is a smaller incision, less pain and faster return to full function.
His first bilateral hip patient, 52-year-old Steven Schaner, of Grand Rapids, had begun experiencing joint pain in his legs about five years ago. His job requires a great deal of walking and lifting, and in his off hours he enjoyed fishing, waterskiing and bike riding. By last year, however, he described his pain level as "8 all the time, 10 by the end of the day." Testing and consultation with Dr. Johnson confirmed that both hips had deteriorated to the point that bone was rubbing against bone.
"My quality of life was going down," Schaner recalls. "When they explained that they use a new procedure that lets them go between the muscles instead of cutting, I said to myself, 'Let's do this now!'" Schaner recalls.
Recovering in the Joint Replacement Center after his three-hour surgery, Schaner was amazed at the immediate results. "When I woke up, the joint pain was gone in both hips," he says. At his two-week follow-up appointment, he thanked Dr. Johnson for giving him "another chance to play hard again."
"With the anterior approach, there are really no restrictions or limitations after the surgery," Dr. Johnson says. "Steve should be able to return very quickly to all of his favorite activities."

iPad 2 to ship by the end of February 2011?
Digitimes is claiming that the Foxconn Electronics plant in Shenzhen will start shipping iPad 2 in 100 days. They claim initial shipments should reach 400,000 - 600,000 units. The rumor comes from Taiwan based component makers but has not been confirmed in any way by Foxconn.
The sources claim that the iPad 2 will ship by the end of February 2011. Apple had planned to start mass manufacturing of the iPad 2 in January however the device's firmware is still in the testing stage and this has now been delayed by Apple.
Apple tend to keep device releases to a set yearly schedule. We know the iPhone tends to be released in June, new iPod devices in September and if last year is a basis, iPad 2 would be released in April. This would give Apple plenty of time to build up a substantial inventory to satisfy what will surely be a huge demand.
This time we will see current iPad users upgrading to more advanced hardware as well as others potential users who have held off buying the first generation iPad, finally taking the plunge.
We've already begun to imagine what new features iPad 2 will boast. I'm expecting an announcement in January, I can't wait, what about you?
There are 15 comments. Add yours.
I sold my ipad a few months ago because I never used it much since having my iphone 4. I have to say I do miss it. Bring on the ipad 2!
Please stop teasing! I am waiting for iPad Part Deux that will hopefully boast a faster processor and more memory. Please don't make us wait until April!
I.....want.....iPad 2.....can't....hold on....much....longer....
I am ok with my existing iPad (for now). I spend a lot of money on Apple equipment this year (iPhone 4, iMac 21.5, iPad, and an Apple TV). At this point, the iPad 2 would have to be significantly more improved for me to jump ship. I would rather update my iPhone to the next gen.
I would like to think (highly doubt it) that Apple will treat the launch-day purchasers of iPad 1.0 any differently. We should get a discount on iPad 2.0 to upgrade. Won't happen.
I was actually going to go grab an iPad this week. But,all this news of the iPad 2 has been killing me. Now, i'm thinking i'll just have to wait for the iPad2. If it comes out February that'll be an added bonus.
That was painful to read..
I'm with JNGold on this :-/
That's early and makes absolutely no sense. Apple releases products based on buying practices,
iPods - September/Holiday Season
iPads - April/Graduation
iPhones - The majority of upgrades to cellphone contracts occur in the summer and the holidays. It also coincides with their developer conference.
iMacs/Macbooks - Fall/again Holidays
So no there is absolutely no reason to sell a product in a month where people are paying their bills off from the holidays. I understand january maybe but Feb and Mar are dead months for consumer products.
@ Bryan
It's shipping from Foxconn in Feb...not to consumers in Feb.
"Note that this doesn't mean that the second generation iPad will ship to consumers in February since Apple would be stockpiling units ahead of a global launch in April, according to DigiTimes. The original iPad was announced in January and began US shipments in April."
@Bryan.. As someone that is in retail, I have to disagree... February is when tax refunds come back... people spend those with no regrets, because they feel as if it's free money... Being in college, I get an extra 1000 bucks, because school is cool. no lie. thats what they said when I filled last year..That being said.. iPad 2 in February would be amazing for me, and the thousands others looking forward to getting back a tax refund :-D
Even if they ship that early, I do not believe apple will release the iPad 2, until they fully test all aspects of the device. It will still be April. I can wait. Been waiting since the first iPad came out. I can wait a few more months.
@mrtomd LOL, you're insane if you think that. Try not being so cheap man, upgrade, lol you're nuts...
It'll be April when they hit shelves, but the thought of an iPad 2 has been in my mind since iPad 1 announced. Getting hard to wait much longer.

It was 7:15 a.m., but you wouldn't have guessed it was that early from looking at the two girls prancing about in the parking lot across from . Dressed in springy blue-and-white skirts, the gleeful duo were like rays of sunshine popping out of a very grey morning.
Marisa Burnett, 13, and her confidant, Helen Fischer, 11, clutched typed pages in their hands and giggled with pure joy and enthusiasm as they skipped their way through the front doors of The Community House.
Burnett, of Troy, and Fischer, who lives in Bloomfield Township, were two of 18 youths who delivered heartfelt speeches Wednesday at a Birmingham Optimist Club "Friend of Youth," breakfast.
Families and members of the Optimists listened intently — many pulling out tissues to wipe away tears — to the words and messages that filled the air. As it was the 20th annual Larry Raymond Oratorical Program, the gathering was extra special. Each student spoke for about two or three minutes.
The children hailed from schools throughout the area, from and , to Brother Rice and the .
The day's theme was "My future is bright because …," a subject the kids knew well, considering they've all savored bright days that have undoubtedly followed several dark ones — each of the kids has some type of speech or hearing impairment, some with language and reading issues, others completely deaf.
But those challenges have not stopped these brave speakers from overcoming huge childhood issues. Some talked about being teased, while others recalled classroom focus problems and not-so-great grades. One spoke of "falling down" and being picked up once again by his parents. Grandparents also were honored by some of the children, including Lauren Daniels of Eton Academy, who noted she wouldn't have gotten where she was today without her grandma and grandpa.
The program was recently named the Larry Raymond Oratorical, following the death of Raymond, a hardworking Optimist Club member who died last November. It was the Bloomfield Hills man's idea, in fact, to start this program for children two decades ago.
"It's very uplifting, isn't it?" asked Raymond's wife, Hope Raymond, following the speeches.
What began 20 years ago with just two children today has grown to some 300 overall who have spoken at the event. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of event organizer, Rose Falberg of Bloomfield Township, this is a favorite program for the Optimists.
"It's the highlight of the year," said Optimist Bob Parker of Birmingham. Parker worked with fellow Optimist John Marsh at the event's check-in table.
"It gives the students a chance to speak in a non-judgmental environment," explained Falberg, who works for Fidelity Bank. "Everyone's a winner," added the organizer, whose recently graduated daughter (from high school), Hannah, helped her mother with the event.
Tuning in
The aforementioned Fischer talked about her dyslexia issues. An Eton Academy student, Fischer said her future is bright because of her teachers. She hopes to be a professional pianist and singer.
"My dyslexia is getting better," she shared, just before high-fiving her pal, Marisa Burnett, who then spoke about wanting to someday work with children with disabilities, "and go to cooking school," she said with an ear-to-ear smile.
Birmingham's Tabitha Geiger, a student at Eton Academy, told the story of how she was diagnosed with language problems at the age of 2.
"My parents found Eton Academy and I started there in first grade," the middle-schooler told the audience, "and now I'm reading nearly at grade level." The grinning Geiger told attendees that she has received the gift of music and singing. "When I sing, my language problems disappear."
Lauren Elias, also of Eton Academy, shared that her future will be bright as she plans to become a doctor.
Ethan Perlman of Eton Academy spoke next and inspired a lot of head-nodding around the audience. "A lot of what happens to me," he said, "depends on me."
Oksana Malec of Eton Academy shared happy dreams of working with animals someday. She also quoted poet Robert Frost: "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."
A few laughs peppered the morning program. Joseph Ciemniecki said his future is bright because of baseball, among other things. "And the Tigers, even if they lose."
A pensive thought came from Tiffany Ross of Pierce Elementary. "I believe I have a bright future, because I believe," she said.
Many thanked their teachers, which included dedicated speech pathologist Cindy Longhway, who works for the .
When Joe Samona took the podium, the room grew very quiet. Samona, a junior at Brother Rice High School, is deaf.
"Whenever I fell, my family lifted me up," he said. "I now have a 3.75 grade-point average with three honors classes. I want to be a pediatrician." His strength comes from an A-1 attitude, attendees learned, as he shared his most heartfelt thought. "I'm optimistic. Nothing will break me down."

Found January 25, 2013 on Fox Sports Arizona:
PLAYERS: Jeff Carter, Drew Doughty, Shane Doan, Dustin Penner, Mike Smith, Jason LaBarbera, Jonathan Quick, Dustin Brown, Michal Rozsival, Dwight King, Derek Morris, Steve Sullivan, Matthew Lombardi
TEAMS: Phoenix Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, Chicago Blackhawks
TEAMS: Phoenix Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, Chicago Blackhawks
The Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes are both angry from blown opportunities leading up to their first meeting since last year's Western Conference finals. Last season could be a distant memory for these teams at the bottom of the Pacific Division heading into Saturday night's matchup in Arizona. Los Angeles (0-2-1) allowed the tying goal with 4.7 seconds left in regulation in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss at Edmonton. The Kings failed to make Jeff Carter's second-period goal stand up as the winner. "We should have won that game, we're not happy with ourselves," defenseman Drew Doughty said. That same night, Phoenix (1-3-0) built a two-goal lead early in the third period only to fall 5-3 at San Jose. "We gave it away," captain Shane Doan said. "We had control of the game, we were playing the way we wanted to, we were controlling every real aspect of the game and gave it away." The Kings haven't gone winless in their first four games since opening with three ties and two defeats in 1997-98. "Going into our next game, we gotta win that game, no ifs, ands or buts," Doughty said. "Right now we're way out of a playoff spot and we want to be in one for the rest of the season." Los Angeles won all three road games in the West finals last year, eliminating Phoenix in five. This is the Kings' first game in Glendale since Dustin Penner scored in overtime of a 2-1 victory in Game 5, calling it "the biggest goal of my career so far." Penner, however, was benched Thursday by coach Darryl Sutter after coming up empty in his first two games. The man Penner beat for the series-winning goal, Mike Smith, may not be available Saturday for Phoenix. Smith was scratched Thursday with a lower-body injury, with former Kings goalie Jason LaBarbera making his first start. Smith started every game of the Los Angeles series, posting a 2.46 goals-against average. Jonathan Quick had a 1.52 GAA in the West finals for the Kings. The series ended with Doan and Smith drawing game misconducts. They were angry about a hit from Kings captain Dustin Brown that knocked defenseman Michal Rozsival from the game just before Penner's goal. Dwight King scored a team-high four goals in the series for Los Angeles while Brown and Carter each tallied a team-best five points. Doan had a team-high two goals and tied Derek Morris for the club lead with three points. Los Angeles is 0 for 19 on the power play this season and went 2 for 27 in the series versus the Coyotes. Phoenix has allowed five power-play goals in 19 opportunities in 2013. The Kings will get their first look at a Coyotes team with veteran winger Steve Sullivan, who has four goals and an assist in his last two contests. His goal total matches Los Angeles' season output. Another Phoenix newcomer, center Matthew Lombardi, left in the second period Thursday with an upper-body injury. His status for this game is uncertain.

Juggalos as a people should be shot on sight. I know a lot of these people. Former neighbors, friends and coworkers. I went to the same shitty high school as these so-called clowns, and it's just the same regurgitated shit over and over and over again. This isn't elitism. I went through my rebellious phase in my high school years, a decade ago. But the appeal of ICP has never lured me into be a moronic sheep following this crowd of dumbfucks. I actually enjoyed a handful of their songs, mainly because of the foul language and blatant sarcasm. But one outgrows the petty rhymes about murdering people and pussy, and they grow up to be normal civilized people. Or they stay in the Metro-Detroit area, hanging out in alleys, doing meth at every chance, and getting in paintball shootouts with other shitty musicians like Eminem.People like Cowgirl are mentally stunted rejects who don't understand evolution. "The family." Give me a fucking break. You know what I'm down with? OPP.
The Insane Clown Posse suck. If you're offended by that, you're what's wrong with America.Instead of getting upset about someones difference of opinion, you fail to focus on the bigger issue: why do you listen to shitty music?
Damn, life must be shitting on you real hard David J. Korczyk...don't be so bitter about it. :) BTW, you come across as being the sheep trapped in the herd. Have you hit your wasting-your-life-in-front-of-the-television and mid-life crisis phase yet? You enjoy being that "civilized person" and wallow in your bitterness lol.
Well, you couldn't be more wrong. I just know the facts, and the Insane Clown Posse, and all their little spin-off artists capitalizing on high school washouts and social parasites such as yourself.... Well, they're scum. Simply put, easily identified.To be in the same clique as you were in your high school days, still hanging around the same dumb ass people getting their homemade hatchet-man tattoos in their friends' kitchens... No wonder the unemployment rate is so high in Michigan, when this is your working force.
And to further prove my taste in music, I share with you the name of a band you'll never enjoy: Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire.
I pray your broken family heals your broken neck. Eat shit and live.
Jeez bro, looks like you had a bad experience with some fam. Probably got your ass beat for being such a little whiny bitch. We'll like any kind of music we want, if you can't accept theirs a counter-culture out there where people care about each other and don't give a fuck what hipster faggots like you think, heres an idea, don't fucking google them and bitch about them on your little keyboard. Ignore them. Their not on tv, the radio, or anywhere mainstream. You have to LOOK for them.
People like you fucking disgust me, the sad thing is I used to be a whiny prick with an ever-bleeding asshole. But I grew up, learned people were different, and even started to love ICP and the bands on Psychopathic. Have fun living a bitter fucking life full of haterid for shit you don't understand, or care to understand. We'll keep drinking our faygo, wearing our paint, and giving you something to bitch about on the internet. Loser.

Women's Golf Preview: FSU Match-Up
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 02/14/2013
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - The UNCW women's golf team opens the spring portion of its 2012-13 schedule this weekend as it takes part in the first ever Florida State Match-Up Tournament at the Southwood Golf Club in Tallahassee, Fla.
Live stats are available for all three rounds of the FSU Match-Up and can be accessed by clicking the link at the top of the page.
The FSU Match-Up Tournament is a 54-hole event that features 12 teams in a unique format that is believed to be the first one of its kind in NCAA Women's Golf. The twelve teams will tee off in twosomes for the first two rounds and then in a final round shotgun in threesomes. The twosomes will consist of the partner teams playing together and will see Florida State & Texas A&M, Oklahoma & Georgia, Notre Dame & Michigan, Tennessee & Texas San Antonio, Furman & Kansas, and UNC Greensboro & UNCW team up for the 2013 edition of the event.
The Match-Up champion will be determined by taking the best four scores from the partners (which is a total of ten players) and the worst score to make the Match Up team total. At the end of the tournament, the teams with the lowest score will win the Match Up. Individual and team champions will also be crowned during the event.
Junior Lori Beth Adams will once again anchor the UNCW lineup after pacing the Seahawks with a 74.10 stroke average and four top-10 finishes in five fall events. Fellow junior Jeanne Metivier and sophomore Mallory Warrick are also back in the lineup after appearing in three and four tournaments, respectively, during fall competition.
Junior Meghan Burham will see her first action of the season in the FSU Match-Up while sophomore Mattie Tobey, a transfer from Texas Tech, will also see first action as she makes her UNCW debut after joining the Seahawks program for the spring semester.
Following its appearance in the FSU Match-Up, UNCW will return to action March 8-10 in the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational in Jacksonville, Fla.

367 Pit Bulls Rescued In Dog Fighting Raid
10 arrested in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Mississippi in second-largest dog fighting bust.
Federal and state investigators announced Monday they had rescued 367 pit bull terriers and made 10 arrests in the Southeast, in what is believed to be the second-largest raid on dog fighting in U.S. history.
The suspects were dealt a 30 count indictment on Friday for allegedly running a dog fighting ring between 2009 and 2013. The indictment charged them with promoting and sponsoring dog fights, owning, selling dogs involved in dog fighting, as well as conspiracy charges, according to a statement by the office of U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama George Beck.
When law enforcement officials executed 11 search warrants in Alabama and two in Georgia, they discovered 367 pit bull terriers that appeared to have been in multiple fights, as well as guns, illegal narcotics, and drugs used to train and treat dogs. Some of the properties contained the remains of dead animals that had allegedly fought.
"I believe if Dante [Alighieri] were alive today and rewriting the 'Inferno' that the lowest places in hell would be reserved for those who commit cruelty to our animals and to our children," said Beck at a news conference on Monday.
[PHOTOS: Baby Animals Loving Life ]
According to Beck, the suspects were betting between $5,000 and $200,000 per dog fight. Officials seized more than $500,000 in gambling proceeds from the fights. Ten suspects were arrested – seven from Alabama, one from Georgia, one from Texas and one from Mississippi.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States assisted in seizing the dogs by managing their removal and their transportation to temporary emergency shelters in undisclosed locations, according to an ASPCA statement.
A large number of the dogs appeared to be thin and weak, according to the statement. The majority of the 114 dogs found in one yard were tethered to heavy chains outdoors in 90 degree heat with no access to fresh water or food. Many were sheltered in makeshift houses from plastic, metal and wooden scraps.
[PHOTOS: Annual Weighing of the Animals ]
The arrests culminate a three-year investigation initiated by the Auburn Police Department in Alabama. If convicted, the suspects could face up to five years in prison, as well as fines and restitution. The Associated Press reported court-appointed attorneys for the suspects said they plan to plead not guilty on Wednesday at an arraignment.
"We are committing to eradicating dog fighting in every dark corner where it festers," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the HSUS in a statement. "This series of raids reminds every dogfighter that they are not beyond the law and their day of reckoning will come."
[ALSO: Why Your Pet's Health Is Important to Your Family's Health]
Dog fighting is considered a felony in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Earlier this year, the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, was reintroduced to Congress. The bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional fines for bringing a minor to such an event. It has been in a committee since April.
In July 2009, law enforcement officials executed the largest dog fighting crackdown in U.S. history, resulting in the rescue of more than 500 dogs and more than 100 arrests in an eight-state raid spanning Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska and Mississippi.

LIVERMORE FALLS — A Livermore Falls dog owner was served with a court summons Tuesday morning after his dog, a bull mastiff-mastiff-Rottweiler mix, called Hooch, killed a smaller Jack Russell terrier named Jack on Sunday afternoon.
Martin Vining, 41, of 46 Park St. was served the summons on civil charges of having a dangerous dog, having an unlicensed dog and having a dog at large by Animal Control Officer Wayne Atwood.
Atwood said he has mailed the information to the Androscoggin County District Attorney's Office.
Vining has an arraignment date of Wednesday, Aug. 11, at 1 p.m. in Lewiston District Court, he said.
The Jack Russell terrier, a therapy dog, owned by Bethany Miller was leashed and on a walk Sunday afternoon with her children, ages 14, 16 and 19, when Hooch, who was loose, attacked the smaller dog about a half-mile from Miller's home.
Although Vining, a friend of his and Livermore Falls Police officer Vern Stevens attempted to separate the dogs, the Jack Russell terrier died during the incident.
Vining's dog previously attacked a mail carrier in 2007 and he was charged with having a dangerous dog at that time, Atwood said. Hooch is also not registered with the town this year.

CHP arrests four in Sonoma County warrant sweep
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.
CHP officers Tuesday arrested four people wanted by the courts for failing to appear for cases, mainly involving suspected drunken driving.
Several officers participated in the concerted effort to find numerous wanted people at their homes and workplaces, said the CHP.
They arrested Sabrina Masarweh, 23, of Petaluma and Leon Guidry, 50, of Santa Rosa on no bail warrants, reported CHP Officer Jon Sloat.
Anne McGuirk, 21, of Santa Rosa was arrested on a $20,000 DUI warrant and Ronald Perry, 53, of Santa Rosa was arrested for an outstanding drug paraphernalia warrant.
CHP Officer Jon Sloat said those public arrests can be avoided if people wanted on warrants turn themselves in to the CHP office in Rohnert Park or the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office in Santa Rosa.

I've seen a bunch of rules for Erfworld games made in this section, it's pretty obviously the main point of it. And a lot of them are pretty good, from a gaming perspective! I have always wanted to try my own, but I realize that I have a very poor head for numbers. Then I remembered- besides the strategy mechanics, what's the other really distinctive thing about Erfworld? The characters, of course!
Here's my proposal, in laconic: A turn based strategy game that is ALSO an rp.
Sounds a bit crazy, don't it? I know that there has been rp in the Erfworld games played here before, but what I have in mind is a bit different. Most people have always been their own side, but this would change that. So, a person would rp a ruler...and if enough people were participating, another person would rp the Chief Warlord. Another person would be a caster...It could go all the way down to Commander, depending on the way it plays. The real way to capture Erfworld in game form, in my opinion, is to mix the intense character conflict in.
It would also make for interesting situations considering multiple engagements a Side could be in. If a Ruler is using his/her Natural Thinkamancy to command one battle, a second engagement that a player character was at would be directed by that PC's command. In addition, diplomacy and the conflicts become so much more interesting if there is true backstory and motivation behind it.
Like I said, I'm not good with numbers. What I'm posting here is just an idea. Really, I was wondering if anyone liked the looks of it, and wanted to give me a hand in designing it.

Thread: How To Replace Front Disc Brakes
so I took a look at my brakes today. My car shutters when the you apply the bakes but it stops OK. Pad thickness front and back looked OK. the inner pad of the front drivers side was more worn then the outer. spinning the fronts it feels like their are "sticky spots" and not a smooth rotation as on my spyder which I just put SS brake lines on a few months ago.
Looking back through my records, the rear pads and rotors were replaced (not by me) in 2009. Fronts pads were change but rotors have not so I went to pep boys and picked up front rotors and pads as well as a torx set for the caliper bolts.
The rear bakes have about 15K on them and since the pads look good I am assuming the rotors are good and the shutter is from the fronts.
a friend driving the car noticed that the pedal travel for more than he expected. hard for me to tell because if it has changed it has been gradual nevertheless, it is more than my other cars. Fluid was a tad low and so I was thinking could this be a blown seal in the master?
my plan was to do the rotors & pads on the front next weekend and flush/bleed the fluid since it has been three years but then I started thinking if the MC is on its way out would flushing make sense? Maybe just do the rotors and pads and then focus on getting the MC done (after new tires)

2001 Suburban LS 150K and counting
2004 MR2 Spyder 62K and counting
2007 mini cooper S 60K and counting
Just did the rotors on the Impala with the same shudder before replacing the rotors and pads. The master is probably low as when the pads wear they protrude farther out and fluid is needed to fill the piston bores and should raise when you return the pistons to their new position.07 2500HD Duramax , 4DR and 26 Prowler 5th wheel Travel trailer, 57 Chev wagon with 14' Bonair travel trailer, and 71 Nova.

Ok suburban got a make over today and I am drinking a large scotch during this recount.
-new side passenger mirror
- oil change
- new front rotors and pads.
-brake flush and bleed.
step-by-step was a great help not too much out of the ordinary other than corrosion. front bleeders were pretty bad and I am thinking next time its new calipers as a result nearly broke one ...
Buddy and I took our time and made sure we did not break anything in the process. Only downer was some extra trips to pep boys because they left out the mounting hardware in the shopping bag.
We had two floor jacks so we got the car up off the ground by synchronized jacking from each side of the truck: jacked the front put in stands did the back the same way
here was the real problem
drivers front inner pad YIKES
all together and nice and shiny
test drive shows success new tires tomorrow and it will be a complete refresh.
It was hot today BTW

one of my troubles was really poor pedal feel. got 3qt of vavoline dot3 and started at passenger rear working my way to the MC. Fluid in the back passenger was frothy like it had air in it. Driver rear looked good.
front passenger was near black for the first few pumps and this was the worst of the bleeder valves (I used a 9 mm because the 10 was too big) driver front was similar but the valve was in better shape.
The fluid was supposedly flushed in 2009 but I am thinking the folks who did that did not flush the front lines or did not do the fluid at all. The bleed was due so I figured I would just do it as I had Pal power for the day.
